WHO LET THE DOGS OUT! WHO WHO WHO WHO!

some damn hot dude i was trying out clothes with =)
















the same hot dude... this dude looks damn good in tanks. especially in the ones at nowurbanmale. TANK BODY BABY!!! new hair do(which still looks the same) + hot body + tank = something to die for!!!

My little extreme make over. It's the first time i've had my hair done in singapore and the bill came up to SGD$12.00 (RM27.12 - which alloows me 3 hair cuts in malaysia). This salon i'm newly in love with is in the vicinity of far east plaza and i like the way they did my sides and maybe a bit of the back. My copycat attempt of the previous customer was rather unsuccessful BUT what if what i have now floats samme's boat then wearing my lifejack JUST in case BUT in any case, i LOOOOOVE my new hairdo. Most of you wouldn't notice the difference but who cares(= . I've been needing a new style for sometime now cos most of the time i get my hair done in malaysia - like one of the usual barbers i go to where the indian men spray "curry sauce" like liquids into and around your hair - AND IT'S NON-PROFESSIONAL which mean i'll end up with a "faggy loook" quotes samme. hahaha. It's really a new experience cos i never get my head washed after a cut and they do it in singapore... GOOOOOOOOD HANDS MY STYLIST HAD. I'd hire him to bathe ME if i had the money *evil grins* OMG I SOUND GAY!!!! THANK YOU SAMANTHA ANNE LEONG! OWE YOU BIG TIME =D (dear mummy, samme made me do this to myself!)

BUT still, i miss my old hair. There you have it! My fugly self in that photo. I'M sorry derrick, made you look like a stick man in the background. Oh that was taken during canoe nationals btw (= didn't do too well but i'll wait for next year where my iron biceps will conquer the whole of MAC - OMG who's that big buff boy!?!?!?!. muhuahahaha. i love myself =) (dear mummy, samme made me do this to myself too!)

"YOU'RE WATCHING EXTERME MAKE OVER WITH YOUR HOST SAMME! TODAY'S VICTIM IS A HOMEGROWN GUY FROM MALAYSIA WHO SPENT 11 DIFFICULY YEARS WITH THE EDUCATION SYSTEM ACROSS THE CAUSEWAY! IN A FEW MOMENTS, YOU'LL SEE A MAJOR TRANSFORMATION FROM FLABS TO ABS (still working on those) "

To sammmmmmeeeeee... i promised you something THAT WILL TELL THE WHOLE WORLD.





I LOVE YOUUUUU BABY




tHERE YOU GOOOOOOOO!!!

To me.

school's islandwide are gonna begin its new term in a few hours from now. first day at school and it already feels like the holidays are wasted on unproductive doings. what makes it more "interesting" is what you might have been through this month. too much play but it's not like you give a dang about it. currently everything feels like a standstill and nothing is going nowhere just not the way you intend it to. just you and yourself in a world where the lonely are even more ostrasized only to find the will to live an everyday chore. wouldn't it make a difference to have someone by your side sharing an experience or a life with you? but when all that is gone all you're left with is petty cash and basic amenities that serve to sustain you through a twenty four hour day. maybe on a conscious note you need to get a life. quick. and i mean it.

what made you deserve such a beating from a promising path you already lead. ignorance. negligence. unpleasing. you sure you want something not worth the effort to bogg you down? or simply wait for an answer or a mere reaction from the opposite. so what if satisfaction doesn't fall in place to your desires? needy. wanting. turn off. don't ask for too much oh you better not. whatever the matter it makes little difference now. you're moving on.

fate - i'm betting my last chip and you better be worth it.

Whaling for scientific research? i don't think so...

This video shows how japanese whalers conducts it's apparent "scientific" research on whales on the brink of entinction. Thrusting explosive filled spears into your own head would be less painful for the world to watch than a whale trying to save it's life... Obviously the only conclusive "scientific research" here is to increase the economic growth for itself and its fisheries. Where's the biology, chemistry and innovation in that?

That's one whale down...

That's another whale down... And more thousands to go...

Craig David - I'm sorry

[VERSE 1]

For all the years that I've known you baby

I can't figure out the reason why lately you've been acting so cold

(didn't you say)

If there's a problem we should work it out

So why you giving me the cold shoulder now

Like you don't even wanna talk to me girl

(tell me)

Ok I know I was late again

I made you mad and dinners thrown in (the bin)

But why are you making this thing drag on so long

(I wanna know)

I'm sick and tired of this silly game

(silly games)

Don't think that I'm the only one here to blame

It's not me here who's been going round slamming doors

That's when you turned and said to me

I don't care babe who's right or wrong

I just don't love you no more.

[CHORUS]

Rain outside my window pouring down

What now, your gone, my fault, I'm sorry

Feeling like a fool cause I let you down

Now it's, too late, to turn it around

I'm sorry for the tears I made you cry

I guess this time it really is goodbye

You made it clear when you said

I just don't love you no more

[VERSE 2]

I know that I made a few mistakes

But never thought that things would turn out this way

Cause I'm missing something now that your gone

(I see it all so clearly)

Me at the door with you in a state

(in a state)

Giving my reasons but as you look away

I can see a tear roll down your face

That's when you turned and said to me

I don't care babe who's right or wrong

I just don't love you no more.

[CHORUS]

Rain outside my window pouring down

What now, your gone, my fault, I'm sorry

Feeling like a fool cause I let you down

Now it's, too late, to turn it around

I'm sorry for the tears I made you cry\

I guess this time it really is goodbye

You made it clear when you said

I just don't love you no more

[BRIDGE]

Don't say those words it's so hard

They turn my whole world upside down

Girl you caught me completely off guard

On the night you said to me

I just don't love you more.

[CHORUS 2X]

Rain outside my window pouring down

What now, your gone, my fault, I'm sorry

Feeling like a fool cause I let you down

Now it's, too late, to turn it around

I'm sorry for the tears I made you cry

I guess this time it really is goodbye

You made it clear when you said

I just don't love you no more

Dragonboat nationals

Oh yeah, i'm back home in malaysia =) Today's Dragonboat races was an emo one for me especially the mens finals. Every person in the boat was psycoed up to PULL their hardest and STRETCH FORWRD AH and PULL RIGHT BACK AH...haha...i was for sure =B... So nerve wercking i planted two kisses on my paddle shaft smack on the 'RUBBERducky' word. haha. yeah for those of you who don't know (which probably is everyone) i named my expensive db paddle that! Soon it was line up time and the organisers were PMSing BAD shouting at boats and warning them a 5 second penalty. The commands came and before i knew it it was ONEah TWOah THREEah FOURah until the first wistle for a hard ten came - silence. OH FREAK i could smell the finish line. I was close to falling off my seat five times then i had a flashback at the starting line - ep asked to counter his feet with mine if we find ourselves falling off. And so i did =) Every stroke was of ours was making the boat surge forward. Then came the three whistles for last burst. It was all over in a flash. Three months of hard training condensed into that few minutes of mind over body experience. It was all worth while!

my newbies

Firstly... let me introduce you to my new pair of walkies.

world cup fever

Its 0244hrs now. It's all quiet and everyone is asleep, except me of course, and all i have as noise is Corrinne May on repeat. Jeremy's high on coffee, something i had with ice before entering Singapore =) yummy. I could start turning on the television now and prepare myself to watch Angola get trashed by Portugal BUT UNFORTUNATELY non of the channels i have here in singapore seem to have a world cup channel. Even on scv other than previous matches which they tapped from the Malaysian rtm1 which had footnotes saying "Please do not adjust your television screen. blah blah blah is induced by blah blah blah which *hub recieved. Sorry for any inconvenience caused". Too much i tell you! First they don't show Live matches and now they blame Malaysia for bad recordings of previous matches. ARSES!!! So now i'm settling for *hub's "Live Commentary" where they POST TAGS of goals and saves and fouls and send offs. And of course theres the scores. (OOH the match just started... heh...)

3 more hours till dragonboat training in SDBA. Paddling with conjunctivitis is definately worth looking forward to =) and now they're telling us to bring our own sponges to sit on so that you won't suffer cysts filled sores on your butt. I don't realy find sponging effective though cos most of the time we're on the verge of standing especially through the last burst. Sponges are ment for canoeing!!! where standing isn't and option and sitting is mandatory. Or else epidermal cells will die and exfoliation/self-shedding becomes an issue to an extend that you'd be peeling and medical cream can only serve to relief and GPs recommend an appointment with specialists. A butt-o-my-god-i'm-peeling surgeon. If peeling's on the feet then i'd understand but BUTT?!?!

OOOH PORTUGAL 1 - ANGOla 000000... WHIPP YOUR ARSEEEEEEEEEE

My holidays aren't holidays at all. Too many activities in Singapore and too litle time to spend back in Malaysia. To an extend that my parents have to miss out on my aunt's BAZHANGs which are probably infested with maggots and microscopic ecoli as we speak. Sucks studying across the straits really =( except for the fact that i have relatives who COOK GOOOOOOD FOOOOOD. haha. My diet is coming along well too! low carb low fat low this and low that!!! sometimes i might as well not eat at all (Hey good idea!). I need surgery on my mouth, like pea size it instead of that gastrosomething surgery which surgically reduces your stomach to pea size! My MOUTH is too big and getting bigger and demands alot more that bite sized food. Maybe i should take up Gastronomy.

ANGOLA HAS 10 FOULS!!! OMG THEY MUST SUCK...HAHAHAHA... PORT - U - GAL.ahahaha sounds soooo wrong. anyway.

Kay i'm gonna sleep now... this is getting tiring... seriously...
Samme come home quick! 3ams aren't that fun anymore =)

My chinese is improving.

I can write now =)

I need detoxification

DETOXIFICATION. I need to do just that! ever felt like diluting your fatful meals by simply drinking plain water and hope that you'd never have to worry about a bulging belly? It's happening to meee. Just got back from a session with my PWgroup members at a junk food outlet and i had POT BELLY servings.
.
my mind's blank.

My BA-CHANG fantasy

OH YEAH! I think dumpling season is approaching. My relatives are whipping up GoRgEoUs little/enormous DUMPLINGS for my breakfast... OH DID I SAY BREAKFAST MABEL??? ohhh i think i diiiid *evil grins*... Imagine waking up to a PLATE of ready to eat BA-CHANGS every morning *melts* ahhhhhhhhh... Dumplings have a NONG NONG history (hahahaha, just love NONG NONGing) that dates back to when this damn HOT and CHIO goddess comitted suicide in a river back in china... something like that larrr... or was that for mooncake festival? argh heck! I'm more interested in the dumplings =) it TURNS ME ON! oohh... glutinus rice, chestnut, PORK, mushrooms and more glutinus riceeeee.

To: the goddess that died.

Thank goodness you did! you're my lifesaver =)

From: Your hardcore fan.

*measures waist line*

*gasp*

That's what i call a DRAGONBOAT PADDLE

WHO TOOK MY DRAGONBOAT PADDLE!!!

Feels like a decade without me aye!!! hahaha... I'm back from the dead *jumps for joy* and finally i have time to scribble my little sweet nothings into what bloggers call a BLOG (told you it means nothing...kay, not funny). Too much has happened lately.

DRAGONBOAT/CANOEING
Oh yeah, for those of you who harldy knew i existed, i'm in the above mentioned. It's coming along fine and our nationals are around the corner. Mid June. We're training hard now for what i can tell cos i'm finding it hard keeping up with the programme and MOST OBVIOUSLY with the fact that i'm-a-freakin-malaysian-and-cannot-attend-saturday-trainings-which-is-the-most-important-of-all-the-four-trainings-i-have-in-a-week. It's not something i should be proud off. oh no. no indeed... *evil grins*... It's holiday period now and today is the begining of it. Trainings are gonna be more intense from what i heard and we're having a camp sometime soon followed by a chalet immediately after. one full week of canoeing activities. GoOdNeSs. Not that i'm complaining. oh no. no indeed. =)... We recently got our DB paddles, after weeks of waiting, they had to give it out on a SATURDAY!!! and i'm so excited to say that I HAVEN'T GOTTEN MINE YET!!! WHO TOOK MY PADDLE!!! DON'T MAKE ME PADDLE WACK YOU WHEN I LAY HANDS ON IT!!!...i'm gonna name you rubberDUCKY paddle, don't worry!

TBC!!!

what life is about

This is what i call an AWARD-WINNING picture courtesy of ME! This is the only picture that would naturally express my life during the first three months in ACJC. But don't worry, i never attempted this stunt. (kay, i know this isn't a real post but heck, i'm still waiting for inspiration... I JUST HAD TO DO THIS, DARNIT FRANNY!!! hahahahaha =D)

samme's right beside me now... and i'm about to ask her what i sould enter into my blog posting next... "so samme, what should i add into my blog posting next?you wanna be featured in it or should i spare you from questioning by my relatives?"says me... samme replies "up to you lorzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!z!!!! eh your entire family reads you blog and and your grandfather and your grandmother.. you need to take typing classes... *laughs* see i told you".

hello ah gong, ah mah, uncle, auntie etc etc! :D -samme

something's up

"ALRIGHT PEOPLE! point taken...
bug me somemore about updating and i'll...err..."

ffeeeelliinngg bblluuee

Haha... i ponned school today! but it's for a valid reason. My alarms sounded this morning and i woke up and diagnosed myself unfit for school. Then i returned to bed. Yes, i had a bad sore throat and was feeling very under the weather. So when i woke up, i PAID a visit to the neighbourhood doc just across the street. He prescribed me 3 medications - 16 pacofen tablets, 30 amoxicillin 250mg capsules and 10 trachisan lozenges (which say "SUCK 1 TAB 4 TIMES A DAY").

day rating : 4/10
(sick, pissed, bored, sleepy and heck-careish)

Blissful Sufferings

What an exciting week i'm having! really it is...

MONDAY 17 april 2006... I almost woke up late that morning cos i only managed 3 hours of sleep. Apparently I was rushing to complete some school work but i ended up chatting online and eating chocolates like nobody's business (I'm almost through with a container of almond coated ones i bought just the day before (sunday)). Good thing i had PE in the morning and my class 308 had to complete a 2.4kilometer run under a certain time. 6 rounds round the school track!!! I felt damn ShIoK (happy/self-satisfied) after that cos never before have i PASSED my runs (i managed a 12.48 minutes for the first time. Must be canoeing training!!!) this is going down in history i tell you! All my other "passes" were collaborative efforts between the person with the mark sheet and me. As usual, my mondays are late days where it ends at 0410hrs after which i had Canoeing to attend. By the time training was over, i realised that i achieved 10 rounds round the track which is something i haven't done in almost 4 years. I was super shagged (which means TIRED and not an activity done by someone else on meeeee). Slept early and PANGSEIED some friends i was suppose to reply...

TUESDAY 18 april 2006... I woke up at 0330hrs cos of the early night i had. Went to the kitchen and stole a can of F&N orange, Ribena and had 4 chocolate almond balls before hitting the bed again. Two and a half hours later, 4 alarm clocks woke me up. 3 of my handphones (which i still can turn off and go back to slumber land) and a table clock (which did the magic of turning me on[the word is awake if you're wondering=D]) placed in my room which i never knew existed till it rang today. As soon as i reached school, i was greeted with my econs test paper which i'm so proud of =) i managed 8 points!!! that's a damn good O-level grade btw!!! i beat all those who got 20 points for that test... haha... eh... eh... oh well, better luck next time (yes jie, stab me!!! go on!!! *passes you a knife*) Next i had was a GP package test in which i left half the questions totally blank. Now i'm rushing through my GP comprehension in the library. Have to pass it up before the day ends =)...

till next time!

after 4 hours of tution during my saturday weekend. Lying on the table feeling all ill and fluish with unkempt hair screaming in my mind "HELLLLLLPPPPP MEEEEEEEEE!!!"










A day after reciving my present from samme. Try on session on a friday morning (good firday). How adorable the shirt looks. haha. just hours before meeting up with my 4 muskerteers in woodlands.









Just hours before the start of a good friday concert, i encountered a ferocious kid in the evening who looked as if he had plans to take over the whole world with his bare HANDS at the age of 5.









A random picture taken...













an evening picture of a view from the esplanade

sorry SORRY

Yah, i promised a million people i'd update about my birthday and stuff i did....BUTTTTT....you know, Jeremy's a "busy" person =).... anyway....

i'll put it in point form and chronological order so you don't pass-away reading my english....haha...
0. By the stroke of midnight, i recieved 8 MSNs + 6 SMSes + lots of b'dae testimonials + etc. birthday greetings.
1. I woke up at 0744hrs instead of the usual 0610hrs to bathe and prepare myself for school. (which is considered VERY VERY late... you can say i woke up when announcements were being made... HAHA)
2. I walked in through the gates as if nothing ever happened. Well i thank the guards who couldn't be the least bothered to detain me. My buffness must have given them the shudders =)
3. I didn't hand in my General Paper summary homework that was due 2 days before and didn't get a long lecture cos i was given birth to 18 years ago (until today i haven't submitted that piece of work.it's in my hands now.finally CoMpLeTeD)
4. My class sang a lethargic b'dae song for me when i entered GP lesson LATE!
5. Recieved a CaRd from AMY who could possibly be my long lost cousin.
6. Attended Canoeing training, cap once doing starts, managed 6km with a new partner (beat chris who only did 4km... hahahahaha... OWN you dude!!!=P)
7. After training, i was pinned to the floor by two guys and later carried by my limbs to the nearest lamp post which i found my legs inbetween. So there they were rubbing my testicles against it (at least 20 sets up and down) probably trying to start a fire or something. They were chanting "happy b'dae to you" as well btw in two languages. I must have been too excited to really struggle and scream like a 12 year old virgin. But then again it was a good scratch. =)hahahaha...
8. my sweetheart gave me a present and that ment the world for me =)... and i LOVE it!
9. I recieved an Angpau from my aunt (i love juicy cash!!!!)
...........

Spare and Angel (chris rice)

Found her stare'n at the rain

And askin' why it has to hurt so bad

Where's the limit to the pain her heart can take

Before it breaks in half

I wanted to be strong enough to hold her

And show her the way

But she's so far out of reach

And now all I can do is pray

.

Can you spare an angel tonight

Send a little help from your side

Cuz somebody's lost down here

Let him wing his way through the dark

Carry some of your love into her heart

Can you spare an angel

Spare an angel

Spare an angel

.

(Chorus)

.

She wonders further in the dark

Feels the cold and hears the thunder cry

While the rain keeps pouring down

Her only answer from the lonely sky

She has no idea how much you love her

Or how much you care

So would you choose one of your best

To be the answer to my prayer

.

Chorus

.

Oh I don't know what else to pray this time

Maybe an angel can lead her lonesome heart away to Jesus side

.

Chorus

behind the steering wheel!

Yes people, you might have herad! I got my driver's licence and it has been a week already. Its seriously a great feeling when you finally get to chauffer the parents around town instead of sitting at the back. I'm talking about Malaysia by the way, not Singapore cos i'm not ELIGABLE!!!Singapore PR + Malaysian Probational licence + Malaysian registered car + Driving in singapore = apparently a "severe offence". Oh well, my luck i reckon. haha. Otherwise i would consider driving to.... school.... =).

So far, i think i've clocked in an approximate 20km drive and the highest speed i've reached is, i think, 80km/hr. Not too bad a start for a rookie aye! haha. I'm really really looking forward to the next time i get behind my mummy's wheels. Especially when it's only me in the car alone =). I'll blast the radio, raff the engine and overtake at nerve wrecking speeds. haha. (mom/dad, i'm just exaggerating kay!)

i need you

Jesus! I need you in my life... i need an ignition of your fire... speak to me i pray... speak to me

admire!

first time i've taken a photo with my CHINESE teacher!!!

Classmates!

...haha.finally!

I've got internet connection in Singapore at last. I'm no more deprived of entertainment (oh wait, i want a television next...HAHA)!.. So here i am sitting on my bed keeping my hyperactive fingers...er...active. Currently i'm 3 days into my new term and things are coming along kinda smooth (so far...for the curious few, i'm emotionally sound=B) for real this time. Everyone has been reshuffled into classes and i'm quite alright with mine. For some reason, i got voted to be the class assistant representative (well jeremy, it's a good start) cos my class "saw potential" in me. I'm proud of the first assignment i recieved from my form teacher and i promise to do it well! I keep telling myself that it's nothing too much to handle and i have faith in myself, seriously. What is my assignment? Well, to collect the students particulars from from all my new classmates by friday! I know it's gonna be a task but i'll get it done i promise you... but there's one problem! I kinda misplaced my given sheet =B ehheh... oops.

I've been spending most of my free periods in the library these three days. Especially when it's early morning. The blue couches and i currently have a rather intimate relationship. It's a conditioned reflex that makes me fall into it's arms. Without fail i'd always have a Time magazine in my hands (my lullaby book that captivates readers with it's recent history, politics, try hard jokes and scandle that would naturally bore me to slumberland after it's first page). Every morning i would meet my regular couch potato friends who like me love to rest and complete our daily quota of eight hours. If it wasn't for my mother tongue exemption i wouldn't be doing this... but it's only for this week so don't worry too much yah!hahaha...

A message to some people:
I understand you people have issues with me being "anti-social" and "dao" whenever i make an effort to attend a gathering, but it doesn't mean you should go all critical and begin to deter people from getting to me just because you have your own preference over some other people. If you haven't heard, it's called "selective response" whereby some people aren't actually worthy of my words. Yah, go figure why don't you!

oooh boyyy...

Too many thing happened too quick this week. First would be the fact that the holidays are too short. Much of my time was spent commuting back and forth Malaysia and Singapore for various reasons but non of them are related to school. I was planning to stay away from that trechterous place for a week. haha. Still, i attended some sessions of canoeing though it's frequent to see me MIA. Guess what, my weight is fluctuating again! One day it's up and the other it's down by alot must be my daily workout routine. It's a good sign i think =). Anyway, school's starting tomorrow and i heard from friends that i got posted down one class. Interestingly, i'll be in the junior class of the canoe captain *gasps and bucks up* and it's good to know i'll be having 2(i think) other classmates with me. Sigh, this school is all about connections. So difficult to catch up. I NEED A FEMALE NEIGHBOUR FROM AC TOO. haha.

Right now, church is going on and i'm here at home trying to nap some issues away from my mind. But i need to satistify my adrenaline filled fingers again. Too hyper! kay, i need to get back to church. almost ending and i have to meet my dad there. I'll come by this evening and do another one...

crippled

I hanged up, lied facing the ceiling on my soft and comfy bed and then it dawned on me. Maybe it's meant to be.

What have i DONE!...

This march holiday is super slack. So far for this week...

What have i DONE!
I attended tuition(in malaysia) in my AC pe t-shirt and nike shorts cos i had canoeing training which i conveniently PONNED. My tuition teacher was so interested about the new science and math syllabus he took my notes for the week and vows to retuen it to me this coming saturday - He wants to photocopy them apparently. I owe him my math notes which i was lazy to collect even after making two trips into my aunt's house(yeah, i bunk with them). I attended church once. I've done 600(includes imaginary ones) pushups, 150 crunches on demand, 0 pullups, 12Km paddle, 4Km walk + 2Km jog and a 0.5 Km run. I've eaten 4 servings of Ice-cream (2B&J, 1 "chapalang" brand and 1 near the rusty railway bridge which i have vandalized with liquid paper) 0 yong tau fus', 5 fastfood meals, 1 complete bar of chocolate with rasins and hazlenuts + half a kit kat CHUNKY, 2 GIANT slurpees + 1 can of SoDa water which by the way taste AwEsOmE + 16 hand scoops of Mc Ritchie's crocodile populated and fish WASTE essenced and pee excreted and SwEaT filled and whatever-on-earth-goes-in WATER, DOG hair. I bought a pair of semi-transparent FBTs. I walked into the Immigration Checkpoint Authority building in an attempt to acquire a re-entry permit onto my international passport and came out of the building in 4 minutes 37 seconds - the number collection queue was too extremely long so i'll go back another time. I scolded a bus driver for scolding me (i was wearing the ac uniform and popped in 60 cents(student fare) into that money munching machine and he wanted to confirm my studentness with a card instead. How cock eyed can people get these days?). I registered my pre-paid line AFTER the "REGISTER now and get $7 free credit" promotion. I lost 4kg and gained 3.

What am i asking for?..wellll, YOU TELL ME WHY DON'T YOU!!!

It forty minutes past midnight. I was suppose to be in slumberland two hours ago but somehow my eye lids never wanted to shut. So here i am making productive use of my STONING time blogging about what ever comes to my mind...

It's the march holidays at last *jumps for JOY*. I've been eagerly waiting for this day since the begining of school. School's but a BIG frustrating playground with "hyper" people worth throwing GRENADES at. Even after the 3 months torture, i'm still not in the swing of things. To hell with the WaTcHaMaCaLlIt culture you claim to have. I'm gonna PASS-AWAY for the next two years. Fine! I lied when i said "Oh,everything is GREAT/AWESOME" and "Oh, i'm doing fine thanks *exaggrated EAR TO EAR GRIN* what about you?" Well go figure! Kay, so what if i have a GOOD pool of friends in school? We're gonna be separated by the time we recieve our next ste of PeRsOnAlIsEd time-table that ranks us according to 1.Subject cobinations and 2.O'LEVEL AGGREGATE. my school's in favour of all it's 8 pointers i tell you! To HELL with that system... The neighbourhood schools spirit's still in me i tell ya!.. So take my advise you neighbourhood STUDENTS looking for a JC! if you wanna have a LIFE after secondary, stick to average JC's!!!...anyway, that's not the point. haha. just needed to scream my mind out in public for a while =)

LOVEEE hurts people! it's so complicated you'll feel like opening the grill to you window and committing suicide even though you're two storys high. Heyyy, that wouldn't be bad at all! *evil grins* Imagine all the LOVE and CARE that'll be showered unto me thereafter. Then i wouldn't have to be too concerned about falling out of it. *considers being para/quadriplegic* It's best being NUMB! NUMBNESS rawks...Don't initiate!!!Be independent!!!...

An update of myself

Ha! I’m getting along with college just fine…I reckon…The first round of council elections in AC are over. I haven’t scribbled my fat signature onto the nomination form. Well I don’t intend to and I’ve officially decided to take a back seat this year and probably adopt a rebellious nature - something I’ve missed doing for the last 4 years. Frankly, its the five dollar “nomination fee” I have to fork out before I’m eligible to recommend myself onto a piece of paper that comes as a setback. I thank economics for teaching the concept of opportunity cost.
Qn 1: what is the opportunity cost of paying a whooping 5 dollar “nomination fee” to people who won’t guarantee you a place in the student council?
Ans: well, with 5 dollars I am able to treat myself to two servings of chicken rice ($2.00) + two servings additional vegetables ($0.50) which will allow me to survive for two days.

Yesterday, for the very first time, I completed a piece of homework and handed it up on time. The rest are either late or duplicated sets work.

I’ve only not “ponned” (skipped/missed out intentionally/”forgot” to attend/self initiated break) a single class in one day for a period of ten days since I received my latest timetable in mid January. I’ve officially declared my both my friend and I as being PONstars.

In ac, there will be at least one day without lessons in a week (not self initiated. i mean legally!). I love slack schools!=P.mehehe.

The only lessons do attend are General Paper, Chemistry and quite often biology. The main cause for me not attending the others are THE PEOPLE DOING MOST OF THE TALKING (teachers)!!!

When I applied for JAE online, 22s acjc was placed my first choice and the rest were random selections. Half of which were based on “iee-nee-miee-nee-mai-nee-mos”

Finally after much "i-don't-care-where-i-get-posted-to-ness", the joint admission exercise (JAE) homepage claims that i've been posted to acjc and i'd beter start planning my New school resolution
e.g.
1. Don't skip lessons when you're feeling well. Even if you wanted to you could lias with some SoUrCeS!
2. LOOSE the funny excuses you try to conjure PLEASE!...................................come up with realistic ones!!!
3. limit your RaNdOm outings to fridae evenings will you? stop treating everyday like a holiday already!
4. Do your revision at home! Stop watching pirated DVDs which shows haven't been released unto local cinemas yet!!!
5. Don't love your fujitsu too much! you've got other commitments*grins* =)
6. I know you're in a rich man's son's school! It doesn't mean you CAN'T/can spend like them.*evil grins*
etc...

I might be having some exCLASSMATES over in AC!.. Now at least i have some people who know me inside out! People i've seen for the past 3 years... mehehe... at last!

sigh...so random this one!

I have a crush on this PHOTO!

Yaya, it hasn't been ironed yet... No worries, i'll snap another set! =)

The problem with many Homo-sapiens

A few days ago...Well last week rather, before FunOrama.There was an event that really taught me how desperate PEOPLE can get...

I was walking along a sidewalk with a couple of classmates heading towards Buona Vista MRT and ahead infront of me was somewhat commotion. Well not really a commotion but i did involve several passesby. Soon i realised that a middle aged hokkien educated lady had dragged her luggage full of coins from one traffic light 50 meters away without realising that her pully bag had a puncture and coins were leaking out many at a time. I couldn't help it but pause in my tracks and lend a helping hand to that poor old lady. While helping her retrive the lost change, i couldn't help but to notice that MANY people behind me who were crossing the traffic light were already pocketing the lost coins. It's not like they spared a thought for that lady who seems way past retirement age. SHE WAS METERS AWAY FROM BANKING IN HER SAVINGS!!! Despicable daylight robbery from an elderly i dare say!!!

Come on PEOPLE! and i thought we lived in a morally upright society in SINGAPORE! What's with all the "COURTESY CAMPAIGNS" when there isn't basic RESPECT for the unfortunate and the deprived. You've wasted ALL the efforts of many who, unlike you IDIOTS, have tried their very best in making a difference in today's society! I can only take PITY on your future and the people you work with! and only hope you BASTAR*S become infertile and NEVER live to see exact copies of you LOW-LIVES! Since habits are CAUGHT and not TAUGHTQ Never in my life have i ever seen such despicable monkey/baboonic behaviour! Disgraceful!!!

Venue: The one and only magnificent place you took your O'levels in (school hall)

I am ponning* lessons for this and so should you!

*subjected to change

NiGhTmArE

Teacher: "OKAY 4M1, it's now the moment you've all been waiting for! The moment of truth! This results you'll have in your hands in a few short minutes will likely determine your future" *evil grins*

Students: *murmurs**groans**cries out loud**walks about in frustration and self-guilt*

Teacher: "We'll go by index number so that i don't embarrass those who screwed up the examination. Soon, i'll know who worked hard and who slacked!!!"

Alright, i had this freaky dream last week. It was something to do with the collection of 'o'level results back in my former school, Marsiling sec. It spooked me the entire day.I'll be recieving the results sometime next week. I'm not certain of the date but i've got a feeling that it'll be on the 6th of feb. I'm not looking forward to that day.

Now it's the 3rd of feb, friday. This may be the very last time i see myself in ACJC. heh.

My special exemption from Chinese

I'm suppose to have Chinese tutorial now but NOOOO, i'm in the library blogging=). Earlier on i had to follow my class to some cabin classroom to meet the Chinese teacher i would have been under if not for the exemption. For a start, she made me climb up onto the chairs to on the air-conditioners manually. Then i had to explain to her my exceptional case with my powderful command of chinese and head-nodds. Obviously PEOPLE! i am able to comprehend the language but maybe not the "cheem" terms...

What is life like without chinese? Well, on the goodside, i just have more free time to slack around and BLOG like what i'm doing now=)Really it's fun! On top of that, i have one less subject to study for during tests and examinations. SWEETTT! But on the sour side, it deprives me of one "communicatable" language making it seem difficult to strike a lasting conversation between the chinese educated. Sigh. sad sad...

As everyone knows, i'm dyslexic. Dictionary.com describes it as "A learning disorder marked by impairment of the ability to recognize and comprehend written words." while cambridge says "a difficulty with reading and writing caused by the brain's inability to see the difference between some letter shapes". Take it which ever way you want but my description of Dyslexia is "God's gift to me"=). With this serendipitous "ability" i hope to inspire CERTAIN students back in my secondary school (if you knew my history you'd know what i mean).

I'll elaborate more the next time round... gotta complete my chemistry tutorial... bah...

Ten aay eem in e library

Ah, my first period was swim PE. Sadly i had to inevitably expose my entire physique to students from four other classes. Not that i was desperate to =D, honest. I have to credit Canoeing training yesterday for toning me down a little although there was an urge deep inside to 'pon' it. Thanks to SoMeOnE, i resisted the temptation. The training module yesterday was very much ment to kill everyone who did sign up. Anyway, back to swimmin'. I was slightly taken aback as i waddled about the poolside making from one place to another. I couldn't help noticing my adipose tissue wobblin' about my abdomen from right to left and back again as i took a stride. There were, however, SOME who couldn't restrict their line of sight off me. Not that i give a flying toss about which part they're lookin' at...

Soon it was time for swimmin' assessment where they (pe teachers) judge, based on your water capabilities, and classify everyone into beginner, intermediate or Advance. =) Go figure where i got into. A few others and i were made to do an approx. 5 laps of both Freestyle (otherwise known as front-crawl) and Breaststroke (otherwise known as FROG style for the ignorant few) each and on top of that Breast/Frog style kicks facing upwards with restricted arm movements. It was through this simple swimmin' exercise that i figured how unconditioned i am in comparison to my other companions. Getting out of the pool became an ardous task for my tigh muscles. I could barely lift my feet thirty centimeters off the ground and it was literally jellyfied. I reckon AC is gonna transform me into some formidable machine. Then again it wouldn't be that bad now would it? =D mehehe...

I'm feeling an onset of disliking JC life. Everyone is so "goodie-two-shoes" paying attention in class and lectures.

okay gtg now... library closing. they're chasing me out... bah...

alot about nothing

What has junior college done to me now?

nothing

I figured you've heard enough about ME and MY daily routines in school and outside school. Fine. It's as if my blog revolves around me, myself and i. Fine. It's none of your concern and it's nothing you wanna know about. Fine. It's not gonna be of any benefit for you. Fine. Fine!!!!!!!!!!!

My routine from monday to friday...

It's gonna be my third week staying in Singapore. I'll be entering and going to Bouna Vista later this evening at about eightish or nineish. For the past week, i've been reporting home at around fiveish after school and OG lunches. Then i'll take my long and warm bath before i hit the kitchen for HOME COOKED FOOD (pork chop, awesome soup, funky fried fish =D etc.) Immediately after dinner, i'd hide in my room (or rather my cousin's but she's out of the country) and listen to some music while lying on the bed... ahhhh, I love Bethany dillon's MUSIC especially her newest album (i think it's called 'imagination')which i'm hunting high and low for and Michael Buble's HOME reminds me of wanting to come home. Like where i am now, HOME...Anyway, If i'm feeling all lethargic and dead, i'd take a short nap...

Ever since i got deprived of my online blog, I picked up the habit of journaling my everday event and thoughts. Currently, journaling has one aim in my life and that is to kill time. So i'd spend roughly two to three hours holding a pen and scribbling my handwriting onto the "limited edition" ACJC orientation 2006 full scap pad. "An empty piece of paper shows alot about nothing" quotes a teacher. Might as well use it =). I think i've completed 5 entries already using an entire sheet. In addition to my time killing activities, i'd do some sit ups, crunches and pumps. I'm trying hard to convert my lards into something more useful. Too bad i'm unable to bring my ten kg dumbells into singapore. I miss them too...Some of my OG think i have pacs all over my abdomen... if only.sigh. if only =(... I'll always sleep past twelve. I could never submit to the overwhelming temptation of sleeping early ever since young. Not that i have insomnia but i'd rather stay up late cos' it's fun =). sheesh. (half completed... ott go into singapore liao!!! i'll complete this next week)

My first two weeks in Singapore...

At last i'm back home in JB. Nothing can beat my queensized bed, desktop computers, Television sets and the ample space i have at home. First week of school was rather interesting. I remembered how much my uniform contrasted with others from more recognised institutions and schools. Naturally, i was lost for i had no immediate friends. Assembly was quite a sight to behold cos' the anthem and school "anthem" (that's what they call it) was sung by the choir unlike my seconary school where we normally play it off a CD and more often than not screw ups happen. Then there is daily devotions. One every morning and for the next two years (if i do continue). Oh, not to forget. It's held in this air-conditioned hall (something i was deprived of for the past ten years) with friggin' CHAIRS to sit on =). How awesome is that!!! heehee. These came to me as a culture shock i admit.

My orientation group is called Pandora which is one of the many subsets of a so called "lostinhellin" which is simply a house. I'll be moving around with this OG for the next month or so till the O results are released. What about my OG? It's made up on an interesting bunch of people. Every now and then we'll have OG outings during the weekend but more often than not i'm always caught up in my own activity. I'm feeling damn bad already. There's like one in the evening later but i have a farewell party (priority) to attend. I missed last weekend's one as well cos' i went on vacation to Langkawi. hah. Nevermind, i'm sure there's gonna be more up coming ones in the NEAR future. Anyway, orientation week was the funnest. I vividly remember the mud-slide and butt waddle, water cum starch bomb activities, the two dances and heaps of cheers to memorise before the campfire, which i sadly didn't attend cos' of the vacation (i'll talk about it on another entry). Yeah, we do almost everything together like attending mock lectures (during which we play 10 by 10 bingo or hangman for some people), havin' lunch just to name a few. Lessons proper hasn't started yet cos it was only yesterday that we applied for subjects. I'll be doing H2 Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and a H1 Economics together with General paper and Project work. Well that's what i applied for at least. I'll only know my class next week. =) Hopefully i'm with someone i know so it'll save me the trouble of having to reacquaint myself. haha kiddin'.

I signed up for Canoeing and Dragonboat plus Golf during the CCA exhibition. I'm actually more interested in water related activities. Swimming would be my preferred choice but i've been through competitive training and i didn'nt like the feel. I'm a slacker in LOVE with Ben&Jerry's i know =). Well, on top of that i also have a dislocatable right shoulder and it wouldn't be glamourous if it poped out halfway during and event. But i'll gladly pop it in and out for you to see on request. heehee... So i'm hoping it wouldn't be a regret doing what i'm doing =D. First meeting will be on monday at 4:45pm... so late in the afternoon... I'm not very sure myself whether or not i'm up for golf. I'll have to do a little consultation. There's even a fee to pay i guess... like 30 bucks a month... heehee. I don't mind the cash really but i'm more concern about the frequency of Dragonboat training. heh. We'll see how it turns out. I'll update you again on myself next week... heh =)

My dwindling future ahead...

Ahhh... It's the 1st of january 2006. It's the NEW YEAR two thousand and six. It's the most exciting and eventful year 2006. It's the year in which school starts in 2 days time...*moan*... Alright people, i've got two more days to enjoy what i have at home. I'm gonna play all the games i have and complete them three times over AND watch all the television i can before my parents plant me in my aunts house for the next two and a half months. I'll be watched over till obedient, fed till chubby (it's near holland V... *gasps*), pampered till spoiled, doted till contented and far from home till i'm forty five kilometers from both my desktop computers which i treasure back in J.B.

I'm bunkin' with my aunt and uncle (paternal) cos' the Junior College i'll be attending isn't far from their place of residence. Without any form of hesitation, they've accepted me into their humble home and i'm sincerely grateful towards them =). On top of that, they have SCV which is very much like Astro in Malaysia and a big television so i'm sure i'll have NO difficulty, whatsoever, in getting acquainted with the remote control. heehee... i'll just introduce myself to it and smile *grins*. YES MOM and DAD. I'll try not to give anyone within a radius of me any form of increased blood pressure while i'm away from Hoogie, my new blanket and my RECENTLY UPGRADED COMPUTER. I'll be "obedient". PrOmIsE =D.

Do take good care of my Terapin, Hoogie, Computers and the greedy bed bugs (feed them regularly with expired skin cells yah?). I'm not at all eager to leave home but then again, i'll have less household chores to attend to. Oh yeah, my sister is gonna feel the pinch i felt when she was away in aussie... heehee... and better still, less name callings "JEERRREEEMMMYYYY this JEERRREEEMMMYYYY that".

I'll be the only one from my secondary school spending three months in that JC. My uniform is gonna stick out like a sore thumb =) but i'm happy being different from the others. I'm gonna miss my classmates, best pals, teachers etc. but fret not, i'll be sure to return to MSL whenever i have the opportunity.

Okay, mom's tellin' me to pack mah bag. Looks like i'll only have time to blog during the weekends when i return home. Unless i source for my laptop fast, i'll be bloggin' again this weekend. TaTa.

My Christmas day...

It's an unearthly hour, i know, to be bloggin' about christmas. Something compelled my adrenaline filled fingers and so i thought it'll be nice to fill you in about my Christmas day. Woke up this morning by the sound of my dad's voice reminding us (family) to get ready early for church. Still in my unconscious state, i sat upright from my rest position and spent another 5 minutes in slumberland with my head facing downwards and eyelids glued shut. Conclusion - I slept late. I was surprised at how NOT narcissistic and VAIN i was this morning. Normally, i would spend 20 minutes infront of the mirrior while i go digging through my closet. Today was different. It's like i couldn't be bothered about looks at all. Must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed.

Church went well nevertheless. Though there was a minor glitch with the powerpoint slides. I did what i can to help. I know many people were all upset and worked up about the human error while mending the slides but if you were so freakin' critical about it, work your ARSE to the back of the church and see if you could do a better job. I bet god didn't give you a MOUTH only. Freakin' it's christmas!!! Celebrate Jesus's coming. It's not anyone's fault that you don't know the lyrics. Bring your own next time or something. BRAINS people BRAINS. Save those stares and mutters for your ownselves. Look in the mirrior or something... sheesh... You think lyrics on the projector will please God?

I practically slept the entire afternoon after church. Very lazy sunday i admit. I went through the day with a rotten attitude. Couldn't careless about any and everything. heh.

Mah Trip to Bukit Tinggi...

Just came back from KL like two hours ago. Spent 5 days and 4 nights on the mountains in a place called Bukit Tinggi. Somewhere near Gentings but a little further down. We only checked-in at night at approx. nine plus. Spent the first two nights in a service apartment with fully provided cooking facilities and murky water running out of every visible tap available to the human eye. Murk comparable to that of diluted coffee.

I played Golf with my dad they following morning and it was an interesting game. With golf sticks and a buggy, my dad and I began smacking balls all over the fairway (it was more frequent for me though) like nobody's business. After the first nine, fatigue overwhelmed myself and i wanted to retire desperately but before i could, my rubber spiked shoe did. It was horrible i tell you. The sole literally gave way and on top of that, the course was super soggy making a large entry point for mud and mud bacteria. Nevertheless, i enjoyed the buggy ride. I was driving my dad around most of the time but it (buggy) was rather cranky. So much sweat and effort was required off me to DRIVE both the ball and the buggy. One was flying left, right and all over while the other needed desperate oiling of the steering axel. The weather was awesome though. Clouds covering the mountains like ice-kacang and it was neither too sunny nor was it too rainy. Perfect weather for a game of golf.

Horse riding was the activity for day two. First, before i could even exercise the my right to touch any horse, i had to fill an idemity form and scribble John Hancock the bottom. After that i gladly mounted my horse and rode with my sis and dad around a makeshift route. We were lead by a half argentinian half french chap. My impression of him wasn't good to an extend that i would gladly shove a horse whipp up his arse and wiggle it alittle so that he feels excruciating sensations. Anyway, my horse was sweet though i didn't take conscious note of his name (it's a him i could tell from an external pertruding feature). I was impressed that a horse that size (not fully grown) could lift my weight and i'm pretty certain is suffered a backache. Talking about aches, aww man, the two hour ride induced a barely barable ache unto my groin area especially when it began galloping. I had to stand on both feet on certain occations. I was just horribly glad i survived. By the way, see that dog there =) she's Kyle... Kyle Monogue. Awful labels owners these days give to pets of theirs. At least hoogie (my dog) sounds more digestable.

Food. Fish was like a must throughout the trip during lunch. If it wasn't a chinese lunch with fish then it would be a japanese meal with fish ( i had cod fish =) ). We had so much river fish and i think i'll need to start drafting my diet plans for the next 6 months. My mom claims my neck is thickening *depressed* Fine, i'll start drinking water for breakfast, lunch and dinner. HOW'S THAT???... Astonishing i tell you the food. Gosh, i'm feeling hungry now talking about food.

28th - 29th November 2005

Island life! Love it!... Just returned recently from my ever first Chalet, in Sentosa. The room (singular) we rented for nett $127 could easily contain the 20++ of us (minus furniture) who were there for the sleepover. As i would, i wandered the beaches, checking things out and eventually hired a two-wheeler to aid the arduous task of me having to walk. For 5 moolas per hour we, a friend and i, explored renovation sites, abondened WWII buildings, white elephant villas and greenery... The best of what it had to offer... I had fun nevertheless, cracking cold and lame jokes and whining about every flawfull sights and experiences.

Then came evening. The supposed highlight of every group scale sleepover non-other than the dinner. Barbequeue is the cheemest term humas can come up with when heating cooked and uncooked animal meat over a metal grill. Our cook was great i admit it, food was so good it ran out faster than i could imagine. With elongated toothpicks and a metal thong, magic was whipped up within minutes and gone within seconds. Godlike i dare say, almost like feeding the thousands with a loaf of bread topped with vegemite. I wasn't feeling right during the ten course meal, apparently i grew an allergy for the incomplete combustion and minute carbon particles that gracefully tickled my nasal cavity. So i went down to the beach for a little stroll to, again, check things out.

By the time i returned, a staff (i shall not mention names for the democratic system in the smallest and prosperous country in the world prohibits me to) from my PREVIOUS SCHOOL, i'm glad to say, arrived. We had a hearty chat about futurestic stuff, snapped some photos for rememberance purposes. Then a breakthrough suggestion came from one of the girls. A suggestion to watch a MuSiCaL fOuNtAiN show live in action!!!. Yup, i was game and left with 4 other girls plus the teacher. Took a shuttle bus and strolled through the crowded pathway along artificial fountains with energy efficient lights glimmering through the purposefully unlit pavements until we finally reached the MuSiCaL fOuNtAiN. Seen it before but didn't mind a second glance. Facinating water sprays and laser dos finished with fireballs through the dark night sky. OOh AAh!!! everybody went, while i sat there playing a game on my mobile phone (i manage to advance to the second level after a year of try hard luck =D *grin*). *clap-clap*.

After seeing my teacher off, there were 5 of us left. 4 gals and a guy to be specific. They were seemingly keen on doing a night trail with me as a guide. Armed with my iron biceps i gladly refused, at first. But then i thought of the facinating chills i could send down their spine through the pitch dark and devirginified forest. So we started walking through never used before routes majority of which were brightly lit with lamp posts. I suggested the abondened WWII building and after crawling through much of the forest floor, we arrived there. Dark and spooky but i knew i needn't be afraid for i wore sandles tightly secured round my ankles. Should there be a cry for help by one or EVEN non of us, i'm sure my trusty sandles will serve me well. I had fun scaring and telling them about the importance of walking in a straight line instead of a row cos' the probability of the people at the sides getting touched by something unknown is higher or why when walking in a row, it's bad being the last cos' if something happens to you the peeps infront won't know and stuff like that. Oh yeah, it's great being the guide =). Upon returning, we popped in at 7-11 along the beach after walking barefoot on the beach with soothing and cooling sand carassing the thick cornified layer of the under sole. So relaxing.


I was pretty much jaded by the time i returned to the chalet. A few of us watched Chucky 4 and it was very much a sick show. I couldn't stand it no more so i slept till morning...

Woke up, groggy as ever and the climate in the room was friggin' cold. Gladly, i wore my AdIdAs windbreaker and made my way down to the reception area for a good morning movie called "Channel News Asia" and headlines were "Chain's Benzene spill felt in artic areas". So much for a good start to a morning. Anyway, the windbreaker i wore started to implement it's purposeful effect on my body temperature. On top of that, i had to breakwind (it's a morning thing) against the morning breeze. I had my silencer on so it wasn't much of a disturbance to the sloppy wakers. The room i slept in earlier was soon crowded. I skipped breakfast and only gulped a can of soda (which had enough enegry content to last me the whole afternoon) and made my way down to the beach with a few others for a session of rollerblading. Tedious i tell you. The aches and pains endured my my high arched feet wasn't a glamourous feel. I'm not sure how the others felt but i'm certain their experience was on par to mine =). Bladed till noon and by that time, we had to say bye bye sentosa and head for mainland. We shuttled ourselves out and slept through a one hour bus ride journey back to woodlands. So much fun i tell you. Pretty much darn exhausted after it.

The Hymn of Promise that touched me...

In the bulb there is a flower; in a seed, an apple tree;
in cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter there's a spring that waits to be,
unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

There's a song in every silence, seeking word and melody;
there's a dawn in every darkness, bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come a future; what it holds, a mystery,
unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

In our end is our begining; in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity.
In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

JC tour...

I woke up super "early" today. At about 0750hrs and i was left with only 20 minutes to get ready and make my way down to the customs to meet a couple of friends before heading in to Singapore. yah lah... Though i reach the customs late, surprisingly, i was the first to arrive. Sigh, youngsters these days have a thing about punctuality. Me inculded... Rendezvou with more classmates in S'pore before heading for AJC, the nearest.

Well, all in all, it wasn't a very happening school i can tell. Science students who were presenting their projects and laboratories seemed super studious about everything they were doing. Maybe it's just a few... Then we checked out their CCA booths. Photography club, Chinese Dance, Debate society, frist aid club, Chess club and many more. Their Choir was good though. They were like - anyone and everyone 20m in radius from where they were performing would have stopped and listened, that kind. Yah, pretty good... Their library is large. Wide range of books to choose from i must say though the only drawback is that their building is pretty aged... Youth flying club was there promoting their booth as well. I'm certain i suited all their entry requirements except for the "Singapore Citizen" criteria... oh well... We were about to leave and there was this "rock" kinda band playing noise near the concourse. It was pure pollution i tell you. Frequencies beyond that of the threshold of human hearing... I was just glad to leave.

Arrived in NJC and hour behind schedule. So we decided to give SAJC a pass since it was further south of the island. Anyway, we entered the "NJC walk" and were greeted with goodie bags. Prettie interesting method of moving around NJ. We had to follow a layed out map that was given and had to visit various stations in order to collect and complete the full goodie bag... Canoers came up to me and another friend to ask if we were in any way interested in Kayaking or Canoeing and if so, kindly fill up a contact form. Yah, you can say i have a passion for aquatic sports and am deprive of opportunities. Curiously i filled the form just for the fun of it... We headed for the Shooting stations. Oh yah, surely i shot rounds at little targeting cards. I played both air rifle and gun. Really cool. I figured we had spent at least an hour at that station considering the fact that we moved in a group taking turns to shoot... Yeeps, their campus is huge and it's nice to know they have their own "radio station" over the PA system... By the time we explored it's entire area, we were 'fatiguified' mentally...

Honestly, i'm not being biased here. I entered the premises of these two JC's with equal expectations. The above mentioned are simply my first impressions for today...

Went to pastamania in junction 8 for lunch and filled ourselves with cheese... Then headed home. I just waiting for ACJC's next week... ha...

Twenty five days

Oh yes. It's gonna be another 25 days to the start of the theory papers. I'm looking at my calendar now and it measures exactly ten centimeters from today to the 7th of November. This will be only the SECOND national exam i'll be sitting for. Then it struck me, i still have a long away to go before i'm fit to wear the black robe and funny looking hat with a tail like thinge off it's corner. Anyways, my time table had already been scribbled out unto the wall calender many weeks back. All i need to do now is to faithfully maintain that pace and abide by it. Practicals start next week. Tuesday (18th Oct), to be exact, will be Biology. Following tuesday (25th Oct) will be Chemistry and Physics will be on Thursday (27th Oct). It's usually early so that we have more time to ourselves.

JC open houses are this coming saturday. I'll be moving around with a few other classmates. I figure we'll do AJC, NJC(not that i wanna go there) and SAJC this week and probably ACJC, HCJC (not that i wanna go there) and some others the following week. I'll be on the look out for the "most happening" JC's. Heehee.

Graduation ceremony. Happening next friday. I'm not sure how emotional it will be but i'm certain nothing will squeeze a tear from my glands =D. Yeeps, we'll be recieving our testimonial, CCA grades and report and some other thingamajigs. Got A2 for CCA. haha.

Righty then, i'll try updating you again. I'm hungry now.

i leave it to you to do the math...

The Finnish encounter

At the bus stop, already behind schedule, there i stood waiting with impatience for the bus. Four passed by but none would bring me to my destination. Dwelling in silence, I felt as if being mocked by the passing buses. My impatience intensified and i thought to myself "Shit! I'm gonna miss Miss Jane's see-off farewell". Then came an european couple. They were backpack travellers made obvious by their load hoisted unto their backs which accustomed a Camel. Two in this case. Looking sloppy yet decent, they eyed the bus number board with great intent. I guess they knew, somehow, that a 30 by 20 centimeter alloyed board coated with paint resembling lines and numbers raised up on a pole wouldn't be much help unless, ofcourse, they ask for directions. I'm sure it was either our comparable dressing or my flawless facial contours that intrigued them to me.

"Scuss mee, doue you know whicch bus goes to little india?" The female started.

"Oh erm, there's no direct bus route leading to little india from here." I answered.

"Oh... HuuuH? was their reply.

" You can take a bus from here to the MRT station and go to little india from there. You know ther train? (accompanied by hand actions moving from left to right at chest level)"

"Oh the train, hoow too get theree?" came the female.

"You can board this bus or mabye, why not you follow me and i'll lead you there cos i'm heading towards there myself?"

"Oh okay, thank you"

So we boarded the bus, sat down with each of them occupying two seats cos' of the load on their backs and we conversed. They're actually from Finland, though i have no idea where that is on the map but i know it exists which is a good thing, and it's their first visit to Singapore. heehee. So I had the privilage of welcoming them to Singapore inspite of being Malaysian. Anyway, i found out later that they came from Cambodia to Thailand to Malaysia and now Singapore where they'll be spending two days visiting what little it has. heh.

We reached the MRT station and they desperately needed tickets, so i directed them to the ticketing counters and instructed them verbally and PhYsIcAlLy with hand points and signals (cos' i knew "standard British english" wasn't gonna help much). Then it came to inserting money into the machine. *drops dead* They were loaded i tell you. There were at least 10 fifty dollar notes and 20 ten dollar notes neatly folded into the clasping right hand of the male. They were so loaded that the machines didn't accept their notes cos' the largest bill it'll accepts is a 5. Which i had =D. I paid for their trip and they offered a 10 in return but i said "Since this is your first trip to Singapore, this will be my treat" (There was this old guy begging them for money and he wasn't poorly dressed. What a jerk i tell you! stalking innocent tourists. Naturally i told him off =D my forte. Sorry la, i just find rich beggars irritating. First visit and in Singapore somemore...)... Anyway, the couple kept insisting but i resisted. heehee.

So i showed them around the platform and taught them what they needed to know to get to places they wanted. They were interested in visiting the zoo in the morning... and i was like "Uh huh... The ice-cream there is good" and they were like "Ice cream good?"... (it's not like i'll visit sentosa for some cooped up in the cage on a overpopulated island animal show) sheesh, way-to-go!! just don't die of boredom... okay nevermind there. Yup, so we alighted at an interchange cos' they had to transfer. There, i saw them off and shook their hands. They were a nice and cute couple =D chubby like me. heehee. Thereafter, i headed off to changi for Miss Jane's farewell...

Men's best friend and Nature's worst nightmare

I like talking about my dog Hoogie. He's cute, adorable, Dog handsome, cute, adorable (heh) and destructive to nature by nature. His primary weapon, his super concentrated acidic urine that probably malfunctions any pH indicators available in the market. Only nature can decipher his super acidic presence. "DeGRASSation" is nature's indication. This is Hoogie's daily routine, he hibernates, walks about the house, licks himself, sheds dandruff, eats "lamb and rice" combination dog food, drinks his liquids from a container after which he salivates like mad, conducts daily egestion in the BeAuTiFuL garden which includes the release of super concentrated acidic yellow solution from an organ only available to male mammals. Right now, there are blotches of desertification evident in the garden (as you can see on the picture above. Looks like the australian continent). Talk about urea being a good fertilizer.

We replanted our grass not too long ago because weeds were dominating much of the land. Not only was it unsightly but murderous to cut as well. Now we're having some "pearly cow grass" or something like that i'm not too sure of the species but it looks admirable. Except for the super acidic urine hit areas. It's a natural disaster i tell you.

The attack of the Milli-Organisms

Yeah, that's my Bull Mastiff Hoogie. Named after an olympic swimmer my sister had an infatuation for. (something something Hooganban, along those lines). He's pretty much NoCtUrNaL and spends the afternoons hibernating infront of the gate. So much for a guard dog. Dogs are great pets i must admit, but this pet of mine keeps his own variety of pets. On himself that is. Hoogie told me telepathically that he personally named them TICKS. It's good to know he's found his very own friends, but however, hoogie hasn't been a very entertaining host. As a result, TICK corpulation rates increase and *WaLa* you get new TICK generations. Geography teaches us that due to the lack of education and entertainment in developing countries, much of the adult population turn to methods of "increasing population growth" (indirectly meaning carnal connection) as a means of entertainment. Same thing applies to this Bull Mastiff of mine. haha. Anyway these blood suckers, once belly full, will simply drop off the dog and climb up the nearest wall within it's area. Seemingly, that drives us humans up the same wall. Squashing TICKS is a fun thing to do, but my preference would be to heat them up to temperatures exceeding 200 degrees celsius with a matchstick. Cool thing to do really. The excitement would be greater if they actually do "PoP" upon heating, AwEsOmE! imagine the bloodshed =D. Alright, i'm freaking you out. TICKS have been part of our family since the early years of our first pet dog "New Year". Yeeps. Guess what, i just chanced into an AlBiNo TICK, nice and white. I'm gonna heat it up now so i'll end here. Should i use the Microwave oven this time? i'll see...

The day after i fell ill...

School yesterday was totally awesome. My partner and I laughed so much he had a stomach ache and I suffered a splittin' headache. After about and hour or so, my immune system gave in to some nasty virus that practically weakened my entire organism, but still the jokes kept coming. Moments after reaching home, i collapsed unto my precious bed and immediately enguaged basal metabolism. When i awoke, my brain pressure fluctuated and every part of me felt like Sh*T. Dad took my blood pressure a couple of times and got overly excited about my pulse rate doubling. I don't blame him.

Anyway, i'm here now infront of the screen feeling much better although my lymph nodes are a little swollen. It's amazing how it works. It actually filters bacteria and foreign particles from the body and when the organism is infected, it will swell and activate lymphocytes (one form of white blood cells. The other is Phagocytes. It's all Biology). I have consulted my General Practitioner and he gave a GeNeRaL diagnosis saying "It's nothing serious" (They always do, just to play safe, unless it involves pain at strategic spots on the body). I'm on recommended drugs now so i should survive, but if not, my last will and testament, which I haven't seen for two years, is in the drawer somewhere in the premises of my room. The first line says "You should only attempt to read this after i die..." Nevermind there.

Something for all students =)...

A Students' Prayer

Lord grant me a quiet heart
before exams begin
Lead me to use my leisure hours
To invigorate my power
My mind from daydreams liberate
Give me the will to concentrate
From all distractions set me free
That in my studies i may be
A student with a sole fulfillment
To make my work a sacrament

From my faint heart in love expel
All failures fears that there in dwell
And from my pillow drives away
All darkness foreboding of the day
Help me in faith to rest so deep
That i may have untroubled sleep
While notes and lectures i prepare
May i not lose my zeal in prayers

And may i not forget to look
For guidance in thy book
And may i ever greatful be
To all who daily pray for me
While for myself i intercede
For other students too i plead
So may exams find
Each one alert in heart and mind
Thus inward joy and peace processing
May exams prove a source of blessing

In God's love and mine,

Exam review.

Alright, now its my chance to procrastinate before the major exam. And since i have the time, i'll do a little review. I'll begin chronologically. English paper wasn't as bad as before and if you ask me, i think i'll clear with reasonable results. I hate the fact that i am required to conjure a story line in half an hour and write something in the order of "creating a character, giving the character an issue and solving the character's issue on his behalf". I'm talking about writing a narrative. My ideas are down to earth (the last time i checked) and it hardly runs wild and i loathe thinking on my feet. I'm better at argumentative but school discourages us from trying it. Not that they disallow it. Functional writing was simpler, a Tsunami newspaper report... sheesh right... Humanities was next, nothing interesting except that i was pressing for time to complete social studies. I guess i spent more time doing structured essays that i did with source-base i was rewarded with muscle cramps thereafter. Geography wasn't hard, there were only questions i never anticipated. There was one with regards to a section in the book which i never ever laid eyes on, that cost me eight marks... sigh... Nothing to say about Add math except that i hate trigonometry. Left those questions blank and drew smily faces instead. Elementary math was a breeze except for paper one which was pretty challenging =)... Chemistry was good but i made a silly mistake. Physics was too easy and wasn't even 'O' level standard. Biology was interesting, My classmate sitting next to me was used as an experiment in one particular question... heh, it was hilarious. I was giggling at my seat and the invigilators couldn't figure out why... yeeps, i dare say it was quite an experience having the examinations in the hall. It gives the graduating classes a taste of 'O' levels.

Liberated at last... For the time being that is...

Pre-exam symptoms (phase one; relatively mild):
a. major psychological enthusiasm
b. buoyant
c. and absorbed
Exam symptoms (phase two; severe):
a. extreme organismal fatigue
b. muscular cramps
(mainly over the master-hand region)
c. and distorted calligraphy
(rapid scribbling)
Post-exam symptoms (phase three; outbreak)
a. Anti-books tension arises
b. formation of 'parental nag' resistant layer on skin
(thick cornified layer / rapid division epidermal cells)
c. excessive expenditure of weekly income
(especially on ADIDAS wear)

Right, mid-years are coming close to an end. Just one more paper and i'm embarking on my self-proclaimed holiday. heh.

Outward Bound Singapore. 21st to 25th Feb 05.

My initial impression of OBS was more of a military style camp. Until i set foot on Pulau Ubin. All in all, there were roughly Three Hundred participants that had to be transported by taxi boats from mainland to Ubin. Upon reaching OBS camp II, everyone was separated into their "watches" (nautical terms for groups). Amazingly, it was not too much for the instructors to handle. There were twenty odd of them and through estimated division, it was fifteen to a group facilitated by one instructor. My particular watch was named Marco Polo who discovered the Silk road, but that was history the last time i checked=). To be honest. I'm very certain that until today, i haven't mastered every of my watch member's name... *smacks my head*... I guess it's so much simpler addressing the whole wide world with "OI", not to mention it's widely used. I'm certain it carries with it benefits like:
1) Energy saving
2) Oxygen sparing and
3) Reduces noise pollution
heh... nevermind there. OBS was great nevertheless but i shall refrain from going into details. bah.
