2008-09-14T00:18:00.004+08:00

can't bear to see byy pout, so i'm back!

since i got posted to artillery,
my lifestyle has been changing quite a bit~
i must say,
i could get used to artillery life!
when i asked the sergeant
what's the most xiong1 part of the course,
he said, "when you have nothing to do lor."
i was like O.O ... i thought he was joking can...
then the next day,
we ended at 5pm.
went back to bunk.
realise there was nothing else to do
for the rest of the day. O.O
i thought it was only that day can,
then the next few days we ended at the same time=))
even better,
after a test a week later,
we went back to bunk at like 2pm wtH=DDD

but seriously,
human nature is like f-ed up la...
now,
whenever it approaches 5pm,
we'd be like, "oi, end le ma... 5pm le..."
then we'd be grumpy and stuff lol.
to think that we never had anything more than
an hour of free time in the past haha...
see,
told you i could get used to artillery life=))

mid-autumn festival's tmr!
i'm all ready to bring byy to a nice park
to walk around with our paper lanterns!<3
it's been a long time since
i got to bring byy out to relax...
hope we'll have a great time tmr!<333

2008-04-27T10:24:00.003+08:00

should've blogged before i left for army,
but it's ok cos i'm back now~

my first two weeks...
it was generally quite alright in fact,
just really really want my weekends.
heck with all the tough training & army regimentation,
JUST DONT TOUCH MY WEEKENDS!~
cos without them i would've lost my only motivation,
time with my one & only byy~

i'll have to be careful, reaLL careful,
not to give them reason to give us confinement.
we must help each other out!
remind each other yep,
cos it really hurts to see u're buddies get confined too yea...

my first weekend out...
it was the best in a long time~
two weeks of accumulative emotions,
all found their way out when i met her~ =))

labour day hol is coming!
and and, our anni's coming!!~
can't wait to see her again... <333

have a good week byy~
i'll have a good one tuu!<3

2008-03-30T17:00:00.003+08:00

my previous post feels like yesterday.

im back here,
blogging bout the same damn thing.

this is it,
the last thing he can do...

"OK, you break up with her,
or you lose me."

what can be more drama?
i dunnoe why, find it almost comical...
mebbe its cos im alr mentally unstable.

we're meeting up tonight.
the 3 of us.
can almost predict that he'll
be the only one rattling away.
can only hope byy will be ok...

2008-02-13T10:09:00.003+08:00

just had high fever...
headache, bodyache, tired.
guess it's 'cos i've been
waking early while sleeping late,
and biking everyday under the hot sun lately.
but it can't be just that.
i'm not THAT unhealthy.
there has to be something else.
so,
i wouldn't eliminate the emotional stress
i get from dad as one of the reasons.

i guess another major hurdle is approaching.
i suppose it has to come sooner or later,
given that i suck at hiding stuff and
leaked out the existence of the relationship
quite a while ago.
dad has been waiting way before my A's
to "talk some sense into me".

he always says he gives me a choice.
but if i make the "wrong" choice,
i leave him with no choice.
then he has to step in,
and i am left with a choiceless choice.
wow.
to think that i believed him when he said
the choice is mine.
bullshit.

well,
i must say he has been persevering really well
when it comes to making me end the relationship.
better than me i guess,
since i haven't been coping well lately.
its annoying that i always get so emotional
when he lectures me about it.
i need to be strongerrr.

anyway,
i apparently show no improvement in
setting goals,
following a timetable,
having a reading programme,
and most importantly,
i haven't listened to him in terms of
doing something about the relationship.
so,
he wants to get in contact with her.
he says,
"if i can't get through to you,
i'll have to talk to her.
if i can't get through to her,
i'll have to talk to her father."
wow.
so if he can't get through to her father,
i wonder what he'll do.
but that's unlikely.
she will have to suffer hell
much worse than mine
if he gets to her father.
it'll have to stop at her.
.
.
.
hey wait...
i can stop it,
it doesn't have to reach her.
i've got to do something.
.
.
.
V Day's coming!
all these things are such a turn-off.
dun spoil the mood yo.

2008-01-17T10:09:00.000+08:00

wwahhhhhh,
my handphone passed away... T.T
i sent it to the hospital,
but it was too expensive to revive it... ='(
its other significant half with lao po,
seemed to be so sad that it started breaking down too...

finally,
after two months of travelling back and forth,
failing again and again,
i've finally reached the LAST STAGE of my bike courses!
all i need to do now is to spam this last stage
all the way until the 18th of feb~
i CANNOT afford to fail man.
i sooO wanna ride that scrambler to school
when our results are out in march!
haha,
when my friends ask me what i did last winter,
i'd say...
'nothing man, i got a scrambler~'
lOl.

even though we don't meet often,
i'm always with you baby<3

2008-01-08T20:40:00.000+08:00

hi bloggie~
life has been a little roller-coaster-ish since baby's back.
haha.
looking back,
they're all sweet memories i tell you.
the ups,
and the downs,
all of 'em~ <3
it's been 8 months and going,
and i'm loving her more and more.
so much that,
questions start popping up.
"what if...... what if... what if.........."
but we concluded,
there's nothing much to ask ba.
let time tell it all~
all i know now,
is that i want to give her everything i've got.
give and give so that i'll have no regrets,
give until there's nothing left...~

Relient K - Give Until There's Nothing Left

No one told me
The right way
The right way to go about this
So I'll figure it out for myself
Cause how much
Is too much
To give you
Well I may never know
So I'll just give until there's nothing else

Yeah I'll give give give (until there's nothing else)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give (and I'll have no regrets)
I'll give until there's nothing left
I'll give

No one told me
How bad I need you (need you)
But I somehow arrived
To that conclusion all by myself (all by myself)
And I want
All you have to offer (to offer)
So I offer myself and I'll just give until there's nothing else

And I'll give give give (until there's nothing else)
Give my life (until it all runs out)

Give give (and I'll have no regrets)
I'll give until there's nothing left to
Give give give (until there's nothing else)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give (and I'll have no regrets)
I'll give until there's nothing left

Sometimes it seems
Like all I ever do
Is ask for things
Until I ask too much of you
But that's not the way (that's not the way)
I wanna live (I wanna live)
I need to change (I need to change)
But something's got to give
Yeah something's got to

Give give give (until there's nothing left)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give (and I'll have no regrets)
I'll give until there's nothing left to give
Give give give (until there's nothing left)
Give my life (until it all runs out)
Give give
Give until there's nothing left
I'll give

i have loved you without holding back,
am loving you like never before,
and will love you with everything i've got.

happy 8th-month anniversary my dearest~
loveee<3 =DDD

2008-01-03T11:42:00.000+08:00

now i know why i never use my blog.
'cos the things that go thru my mind be4,
always become nonsensical after.
lol.
can i delete the prev post now...

baby,
if i can't make you happy the next time,
at least,
i won't make you feel worse like i always do.

really sorry,
and,
thank you.

i love you.

2008-01-02T23:50:00.000+08:00

ok,
this is the first time
i'm using my blog to sort out my thoughts.
bet i'll end my entry not 'cos i'm all sorted out,
but 'cos i dunnoe wth im saying.
but ah wells.

everytime unhappy stuff happens,
i kill myself over and over again.
it's when i'm so deep in my thoughts,
that i can't feel myself anymore.
but this time,
i've been given a little more time.
so an hour ago i thought to myself.
i'm already quite dead,
it's a familiar feeling.
but why is it here again?
must it always be like this when something unhappy happens?
it's really quite pathetic.
as usual,
i was finding fault with myself again.
i mean,
of course i did something that darling didn't like,
otherwise there won't be a need for this entry.
but is that the crux?
no one's perfect.
but why is patching up always so painful?
i really dunnoe what to do.
should i listen to jas and place my trust in time to do my job?
eh,
wth am i saying.
damn,
i really suck with expressing my thoughts through this.
come on,
i need a miracle.

2007-12-22T10:39:00.000+08:00

woohooo~
it's been a month since the A's are over!
a very meaningful month...
'cus 'cus i got to spend lots and lotsa time with byy~

and and,
i've already booked my class 2B motorcycle
traffic police test on 18/2,
and will be able to book my class 3C motorcar
traffic police test soon!~
fast right? *wink*

sian la,
will probably have to take my car test after BMT
'cos im enlisting on 9/4...
very worried suay suay cannot get excuse
from camp then MISS MY TEST T.T...

byy,
dun tink i'll be able to buy bike le.
'cos i didn't factor in this thing called insurance,
which will cost around the price of the bike itself T.T
mainly 'cos i'm only 18 years old...
but but,
dun sad sad k~
'cos that just means you have to wait a few months more
before i get my hands on a car!~
mummy says she might get a second car if her job does well yoo~
i'll probably get a bike when i get my
class 2 motorcycle license 2 years later ba...
then can drive bigger fatter bikess=))

i've been poking my nose into the real estate industry lately~
dad's been encouraging me to go for
talks and seminars for exposure,
and i must say,
it really has been inspiring=))
but come to think of it,
it's mainly my greed for money right...
oh and also my want to improve that businessman in me i guess~
haha it's partly to gather some funds to bring byy
to ding tai feng for xiao long bao tuuu!~ <3

the cool thing about what i'm doing is that,
the better you get at it,
the faster the money rolls in yea wakakaka~
wish me good luck in making some cold hard cash
these few months awrite~

by the way,
CHRISTMAS IS HERE!~
it's the first time i feel christmas in a few years sia...
thanks to the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movie!!
playing now is my favourite song from the movie~
hope you get infected by these adorable cchipmunkss!~ =DDD

2007-09-18T23:31:00.000+08:00

baby fell sick today. T.T
it's the first since i knew her.
coOl rite~ *heh*
i fell sick once too these few months,
but it was quite a way back.
tmr's the last prelim paper~
got to start getting back on track for A's.

just glad that there ain't normal school 'nemore~
just glad i was there for her... <3

2007-09-11T13:03:00.000+08:00

it's six years on since the attacks...
still remembered how for the first time in my life,
the TV at home was on at 6am in da morn
'cos my parents were woken up by friends
and they rushed down to on the TV...
it was like something you'd see
in the TVs that appear IN movies,
like when some reporter on TV in the movie
reporting some villain sending a monster
to destroy jobingtown...
just that,
jo and bing would be there
to save the day of course!
coOlness~

yaaaa...
smack in the middle of prelims now.
it's like the most relaxing exam of my life.
lol~
must be 'cos the teachers keep giving me the idea,
"i dun give a **** what you get for prelims,
just work towards ur A's~"
sounds cool,
but if prelims screw up reaL bad,
like waY worse than my normal bloc tests,
it'll probably do more bad than good
to my already-in-the-dumps morale~

but it seems,
the standard is quite abit closer to the A's,
which means i'd most prob not screw up worse than be4,
and have a sssslim chance of doing slightly better!
sounds great to me~

but waaaAAAAHHHHHH~
darling's papers start when mine ends!!!
waaaAAAAaaaaHHHHHH T.T

ah wellzz,
that's life... =]

~i feel like I'm drownin in da ocean,
somebody come and take me away~

2007-09-06T18:26:00.000+08:00

i tink i'll just end up blogging once a month ba.
at least for now i guess,
until prelim's are over,
then back to once a month again,
until A's are over!~ =DDD
haha,
when would that be?
of course the 6th luhhh... <3

happy 4-month anni my love~
we're getting stronger,
and stronger,
and stronger!~
UNSTOPPABLE!!
love you babe... <3

all the best to everyone out there
fer ya promos and prelims!~

*meep*

2007-08-05T21:56:00.000+08:00

w00t,
four more weeks to another batch of exams.
please,
let me get in the mood early so that i can cover more~
life feels so restrictive nowadays…
there’s just so much things i wanna do,
but they all have to wait friggin’ 4 months!
i never take o’s be4 so my first time feeling like that haha…

lectures are all starting revision already.
but i still have quite abit to finish up be4 i can start pure revision…
come on bing bing,
fasten the pace!~ =D
cos’, only until i’ve started on revision,
will i then be able to really build up the momentum…
cos’ only then,
will u feel that you are kinda getting the hang of stuff ma~
haha until then,
i must persevere!
lol,
then when that time comes,
i think i’ll be needing more and more perseverance ba =.=||…

dad just banned me from talking in private on the phone.
come to think of it,
i only use the phone to talk to jo now.
everything else can be settled via msn or sms~
i got so pissed,
that i called singtel straight after he whacked me,
to change my plan from classic100 to ione plus.
i had classic100 for about 5 years now.
and if u know about how the monthly fees drop,
year after year,
like: 1st year 28, 2nd year 25, 3rd year 23, 4th year onwards 21…
plus caller-id is free...
so when i change to ione plus,
then whooPs~
talk about increasing monthly handphone bills…
i need to talk to jo k,
so dun take it away from me.

haha,
i always thought time jogs,
the most run la…
but now i really see it fly~
these 2 years…
one hell of a sunny thunderstorm…
doesn’t exist?
but that’s what it felt like to mee.
life felt like life for the first time…
cos’,
getting addicted to computer games,
and waking up in the middle of the night to play,
cos dad doesn’t allow me to play at all…
no life la.

for the first time,
i had girls to chase…
i had a teacher who cared…
i had a wadrobe…
i had a handphone i liked…
i had an ipod…
i had great friends to hang out with…
i had jo to love…
and be loved in return.

happy 3rd month my love!
yup,
like they all say…
things will become mundane and ordinary,
but i will not take you for granted.
up til now,
my heart muscles are still growing stronger,
and stronger each day!

i thank you for all the support you have given me,
i thank you for all the lessons you taught me,
i thank you for all the times you held me up,
i thank you for walking down this important,
yet annoying road of academia with me.
most importantly, i thank you,
for letting me love you.

baby,
the promos are coming,
and it will be over soon~
if there is anything, anything that i can do for you,
please let me know.

loving you more and more...

2007-07-18T17:11:00.000+08:00

too lazy to reflect on my life now...
all i know is that,
i'm so not getting back into the study mode for prelims...
and aca champs are in a week's time~
and omg,
omG,
first time in my short 17 years,
i had 7 friggin' FAT pimples at ONCE... *faints*
u can try to find 'em in the following pics wakaka~

whee...
mebbe i'll be able to focus better after aca champs =P

haha,
prettae mdm. tengara's b'dae today!~
muahahaha,
took up nearly her whole economics tutorial to cut cake lOl.

2007-07-07T15:07:00.000+08:00

happy 2nd month darling!~ <33
wow,
that was a fast two months.
mugging and exams make time go by even faster lol.

been trying to stand by you without my parents noticing.
they came to know that you are troubled,
must've been through some form of eavesdropping haha...
but then again,
i'm affected whenever you're down,
can't run away from that.
so it's about staying by your side,
and doing my job as a student,
whether the mood is there or not~
i need to train myself!~ =))

read up on some eating places through the internet,
deciding where to bring my baby for our 2nd month~
we landed in some ulu place in bishan,
in the pink and pretty icekimo ice cream shop!~

heard of the flavour blueberry cheesecake?
lol,
they have it~
and it's damn coOl haha...

hmm,
ever thought of licking teh tarik or milo?
icekimo's the place!

2007-06-30T09:35:00.000+08:00

well,
it's over.
but i'm not happy with my results. =(
can't seem to get a breakthrough,
the threshold is just too friggin' high!
damn...

dunnoe,
hope i won't have much trouble with the teacher
on my a cappella championships... T.T

haha,
spent the first day after exams resting at zhi yong's.
tzemin still had biology the next day,
so i brought joanna over~

i love you, you love me~

2007-06-22T09:55:00.000+08:00

alrite,
exams are here,
again.
well well,
i'm not freaking out yet,
but i think i'm gonna soon!~
lol.
getting used to it liao.
still got prelims and the big national one.

darling went through hell...
but luckily,
her enthalpy change,
i assume,
is approximately 0!~
cos,
she was cruelly supplied her bond energy...
(energy required to break her...)
but, buT,
the people who so loved her, supplied her lattice energy!~
(energy required to bring her back together again!~)
so basically,
she took a two-way trip,
back and forth!
i'm so glad you're happy again dear~

dear,
i know my hair's short,
but it's not THAT short.
ok la,
my sexy long neck is rather naked though... <3

2007-06-18T23:01:00.000+08:00

baby baby~

can't believe we've actually met the elders already!

love ya~

2007-06-13T22:54:00.000+08:00

whew~

but i'm left with only 1 week!

how am i gonna finish
chemiStry,
mathematicS,

2007-06-06T16:02:00.000+08:00

'past few days' (quoted from SOMEBODY)
would have been dreadful,
if not for you...

thank you for being there,
when my nose screwed up.
thank you for being there,
when my eyes screwed up because of my nose.

thank you once again for preparing meals for me,
which were filled with your love!

thank you for everything~

the first anniversary of my life,
the anniversary of a month,
the month with you my love.

a day to remember,
the sixth of may...

2007-06-02T19:51:00.000+08:00

omG,
after all these years,
and i only found out noW.
wtH,
why only nOW~
.
.
.
baby was telling me bout her concession pass.
and i was telling her how my big sis has calculated some time ago
that using the normal topping up of the ezlink card when it's low
would be cheaper than the concession pass.
but wtH,
so totally noT!

hehe,
let's analyse...
say i only go to sch 5 times a week and stay at home on weekends
(which is soooOO not gonna happen),
it will cost me

(45c + 35c) x2 x5 x4 = $32

35c for switching bus
x2 for going to sch and coming back
x5 for mon to fri
and x4 for 4 weeks of the month!

hOly $32 friggin bucks with no life on weekends!~

and guess what.
concession pass is only $27.50!
so...
i get to ride all week round for a flat $27.50 lOl.

omg,
to think i was spending up to double that amount a month,
for the past hoW manY yeARSSSS! *wails*

haha...
was being a good boy,
studying myself at the queenstown library todae.
a lady in her forties was carrying 2 stacks of books
to the seat opp mine but on the same table though.
i then shifted to the seat beside so that she would have more space.
she noticed and thanked me, yay~
wait wait,
here's the interesting part.
she started referring to the books
which i then realised were all about design,
and started drawing damn coOl diagrams
and folding very professional designs!
i was totally distracted can~
lucky she didn't notice (i hope).
haha,
i was sniffling abit as usual
as it was still quite early in the morning.
it's been like that since i was young,
some chronic nose thinggie...
.
.
.
the day passed quite fast and t'was already 3++pm.
she then started to pack up and leave.
but just before she left,
she came over to me and started telling me some coOl stuff!
she attempted to speak to me in english,
but i could see she was not comfortable with the language,
so i replied in chinese and the conversation went on~

"ah boy ah~ 你的鼻子hor, 我教你怎么弄好。" lady.

*raises head and raises one eyebrow* me.

"你去拿海盐(sea salt)，放在水里，然侯把它倒进鼻孔。" lady.

*raises eyebrow higher* "是不是杀菌？" me.

"对！我儿子就是这样好起来的。你做多几次，包你也好起来！" lady.

whee~
let's hope it really works!
then bye-bye to sniffles!~

darling, let's make pancakes tmr~

2007-05-29T15:09:00.000+08:00

tzemin in action~

zhiyong is aiming~

whee!
i bought myself an ipod nano!~
it's refurbished la,
so it's cheap cheap cheap!
dunnoe what's refurbished?
it means when you send in ur ipod for repairs,
and when you get a new one back,
apple refurbishes ur old one,
and sells 'em as refurbished ipods!

yupyup,
i got mine at $210 for a 4gb,
when it costs $310 in da market~
so people,
if you're intending to get a cheap ipod,
visit the online apple store,
scroll all the way down,
see refurbished ipods on da left yea?

btw,
u can only order them thru credit card or phone.
man am i lucky to have joanna help me!

30 Things Guys Want Girls To Know

1. We're not as perverted as you think we all are.
2. No matter what YOU say, your ex-boyfriend IS a LOSER.
3. We like you to give us hugs and kisses sometimes too.
4. Don't argue with us when we call you beautiful.
5. Don't treat us like crap, what goes around comes around.
6. We know you're pretty, that's one of the reason's we're going out with you.
7. Don't go into detail about your period. It scares us.
8. If you have cramps and we ask you what's wrong, just tell us it's that time of the month and nothing more.
9. If you really liked us for us, you would let us think that our mustache, beard, or sideburns looked cool.
10. We never shave our legs. So get over it.
11. NEVER ask us if you can put makeup on us. It's just wrong............
12. Don't make bets about us, because one of your friends will tell us, if you don't.
13. When we tell you that you're not fat, believe us.
14. We absolutely do not care about the Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, 98 Degrees, or what any other guy looks like for that matter.
15. We may not be able to pee accurately all of the time, but at least we can stand up and go pee.
16. Just cause you think you're always right, doesn't mean that you don't have to apologize when you do something "wrong."
17. You expect us to say and do sweet things for you, but it would be nice if you did the same every once in a while. We like to know that you love us.
18. We can't always be spontaneous, so try to help us make the plans sometimes.
19. Don't ask us to beat up another guy for you, cause you might get what you wish for.
20. Never kick us in the nuts "just to see what we would say". That's just mean.
21. Never pretend like you are going to break up with us and laugh when we believe you.
22. Pamela Anderson's boobs aren't fake anymore, but we like yours better anyway.
23. Size doesn't matter, except to idiots who don't want a relationship.
4. PMS is not an excuse.
25. If you want us to put the seat down when we're done, you should put it up when you're done.
26. Don't tell us how cute your ex-boyfriend was. That doesn't turn us on.
27. And always remember: The way to a guys heart is through his stomach..... and maybe....oh nevermind.
28. NEVER ask us to kiss other guys. You might be that comfy with your friends, but to us it's just wrong.
29. We always notice how funny it is after your rip out our heart, stick it down our throat and still want to be friends.
30. And last but not least: We know you're not always right, but we'll pretend like you are anyway.

P.S. Good Luck for blocs peeps~
The secret to doing well at this point in time:
just turn in early tonight la. *wink*

2006-08-13T12:11:00.000+08:00

National Day didn’t mean much to me when I was younger. To me, it was just a day every country has, a day to remind people that they belong to this red dot on the world map, a day to remind people of our multi-racial identity, nothing more. It was, in fact just like any public holiday just that it lasts for 2 days. For the first day, we’d be out of school by 10am. For the past 4 years, school celebrations were just tradition and they got more and more boring. I’d remember rushing to LAN centres with my class for Counter-Strike and DotA after squirming in our seats for a few hours in that stuffy hall. For the second day, I’d just be rotting at home and catching a glimpse of the celebrations in the evening.

This year, things are different. There were memories to keep, experiences to treasure. As part of the choir, I took part in performing for the Holland-Bukit Timah GRC National Day Observance Ceremony and also for the internal school celebrations. During that period, we spent many fun hours learning 2 dances and revisited many national day songs for the performances. The times spent together were magical. Really must thank our president Kai Xuan, vice-president Kimberly, Sarah and Yvonne for creating those simple yet wonderful dances. It’s been a long time since orientation that I got to learn new dance-steps, Thank You. (;

Finally, our class CIP was carried out on Saturday (12/8). It was loads of fun, at least for the morning session!~ =P We sat down together, squeezing hair gel into these tiny and cute glass bottles, followed by inserting glitter, decorations and macaroni alphabets to form words such as Love, Dream, Hope, Happy, etc. Of course, there would always be VSA on the other side of the bottle which stands for Very Special Arts, the society we are raising funds for. All that sounds quite fun already, but the most enjoyable part for me was that we could make those bottles for our friends!~ Many of us inserted our friend’s names into the bottles and paid a small sum of $1 to take them home haha… Cover costs for the organising group. As for the session after lunch, we headed down to Orchard Road to do road sales with our bottles and tin cans. It was hard, simply because there were so many other groups, mainly from RJC, and the mentality of the people on the streets were, “Get away from me!~”. Haha… It’s really not easy when you get rejected again and again. But it was hell of an experience!~ (:

What made my day, or rather my evening, were fireworks!~ After a busy day of trying to fill up the bottomless tin cans, we were all tired. I didn’t want to go home. Everyone was heading somewhere for some fun on the streets of Orchard Road and I just didn’t wanna go home lol… Rimmel then said that I’d have to entertain her for an hour before she goes to meet her canoe friends for fireworks. Then, I asked if I could tag along and off we went! Was introduced to her canoe friend Yihang. She’s one sweet and friendly girl. Got to talk to her just like old friends almost immediately lOl. Rather surprised I can get to talk to people like that. I suppose that’s what you get when two friendly people meet!~

Rimmel was sooO happy she got to eat new zealand's natural...

A shot taken in the midst of thousands walking home from a night of heavenly fireworks...

As the Hwa Chong girls canoe team only consisted of 6 girls, Rimmel was like, “Bing, you’re going out with 1/3 of the team!~ CoOl rite?~”. Then I was like, “TotalLY! I already know 2/3 of the team!~”. This is the order I got to know 2/3 of the team: Sophia (met her when I was trying to get into A.E.P.), Rimmel (joined us after first 3 months), Yanhan and then Yihang (got to know both through Rimmel). The fireworks were fantabulastic!~ Never got to see them live… Just love those which end up in showers, they look heavenly haha… Rimmel, thanks for letting me tag along for that wonderful evening. Yihang, so glad I got to know you! Thanks for doubling the fun!~ =D

What a contrasting entry to my previous one… (;

*Laughs out loud*... 3 weeks of lag again... Life just doesn't slow down. Yea yea, they always say, "time waits for no man", "everyone has 24 hours a day". But, why can't I get enough of it? Papa says I need to plan my time, come up with a detailed one and stick to it. I just can't, always procrastinating, don't even wanna try again 'cos i failed so many times before...

Just a few weeks ago, I received the biggest blow in my life. Grades: B U B U U. Yes!~ *BooBoo!* Totally freaked out for awhile, but I'm back on track again! (I hope...) I mean, I've never failed any form of examination before, much less 3 in a row.

And last week, I finally got over it!~ Yes... The National A Cappella Championships '06! Sounds cooL right, but it was a failure for our team haha... Nevertheless, I never regretted joining the team, having all those great times together singing our hearts out, and of course, that fateful and painful, yes, Painful ending, where I learnt my lesson.

Our group, M18, took 2 days off school on Wednesday and Thursday (19/7 and 20/7) to lock ourselves in a room in Coasta Sands Resort behind Downtown East to practice for the event on Thursday night. There, we learnt a new song Break Away by Kelly Clarkson which was suppose to replace Our Story by Tension as it didn't sound nice. We also practiced our main hit Lady Marmalade (Yes, our group leader Jeremy turned us into prostitutes) .

Despite the efforts we put in, it just didn't turn out right, it was a total disaster. We were used to very loud microphones as we couldn't sing very loudly with our head voice (falsetto) to reach those high notes. The competition microphones cannot be adjusted and we couldn't even hear ourselves. We can only blame ourselves for being under prepared. Jeremy even argued with our vocal percussionist Isaac right before the competition which brought the whole team spirit down. Damn sad la... =( ... You can feel it too right... =D

Bing happily singing away...

Haha, so much for sad stuff. Another cool thing about the competition was that everyone is a winner!~ There was the 1st place... 2nd place... and... Everyone else gets third!~ hee... That means there was five 3rd places in our college category!~ haha... cute right... Come to think of it, the time and effort didn't go to waste because I learnt a lot! (which I don't know how to put in words haha...)

Aiyo, it's only less than 10 weeks away to promos!~ And exactly 1 week away from my piano exams!~ Really must settle down, be a nerd, mug and mug and mug after my piano exams. I'm lagging badly. Haven't even read through much of my notes this term, much less complete my tutorials. Damn, where did all my motivation go!~ Argh...

So much angst...

Holy... Talk about time flying… 2 MONTHS!~ omg… Is this a new record or what…?~ There are just so many memorable things that came and went and I didn’t pen them down! =(

choir scandals
the big day
j2’s farewell
choir a cappella craze
block tests’ freak out
world cup fever
michael’s return from canada
diana’s visit from australia
budak pantai zainess
external a cappella rush

Heh… It really feels good to list out stuff to talk about since I always wreck my brains to think about something to write about. AlrighT!~ I’ll take my time to write about the above in random order (although they were placed in chronological order…=D). So, especially to those who have been chasing me to update, even threatening to “jump out of my closet and raid everything in my fridge”, here goes!~

2006-05-11T22:17:00.000+08:00

What is the main job of teenagers? Study! Of course, we have to enjoy ourselves in the process too. As the saying goes, “Study hard, play hard.” Sadly, I just can’t keep the balance. As such, I went to pay the library a visit recently. It was the very first time I went to the library to study properly at the tables. I must say, it gets quite competitive trying to find a good seat and keeping it throughout the day. It was indeed a memorable day for me. Having slept well the previous night, I had no difficulties keeping awake. Also, because I went alone, there was no distraction, not even a single person to talk to. As a result, I accomplished quite a bit that day and I was really happy. Really recommend everyone to give it a shot one day. You won’t regret it!

Too early to think about filling up your subject combination points with a H3 or two? I don’t think so. Selection tests are already taking place for H3 mathematics and I was sitting on the fence, deciding whether to give it a shot. After giving it some thought, I decided not to participate. Hope I’m not missing out. I don’t have a passion for mathematics and I just want to pull through for A’ levels. However, I do have a genuine interest in economics! I enjoy learning new economics concepts and am really keen to enter the business sector in the future. However, I just can’t get the hang of those economics tests. In fact, I’m not doing well for Any subject test for that matter. I’d really like to fill up that last subject combination point with H3 economics. As such, I really need to buck up to make it through any selection test in the near future.

Here comes the topic that I never miss out – Choir. This week, we got blasted by our conductor Ms. Lim. It was hell, yet it felt good. I’ve never seen any teacher scold college students to this extent before. As usual, we didn’t do our homework of memorising the scores. However, this time, we were told not to refer to our scores. Furthermore, Ms. Lim suddenly wanted the choir to sing on its own without a conductor. I then realised that we were always relying on the conductor, be it Ms. Lim or our student conductors, to provide us with the feelings and emotions of the song. We crumbled. It all came crashing down. She didn’t stop to encourage us. No, she didn’t. She went on, and on, and on. Since there wasn’t any sky, it felt like the ceiling would fall. Yes, I was affected like everyone else and we sang badly, again and again, song after song. However, a part of me was smiling. “We need this wake-up call,” I told myself. It was just a week to our concert and we have not even internalised the songs. We were trying to refine them. It was all a big joke. Clearly, our foundations were not set right. I could feel it “shaking” then. Wow, never had such dramatic CCA sessions. We’d better do something before its too late, before we tarnish the Hwa Chong brand.

Scary.

2006-05-02T00:18:00.000+08:00

I’ve been bragging repeatedly for the past few weeks about choir and how it takes up so many hours a week. My father had already anticipated this since the start of the year and has been reminding me time and again to manage my time wisely so as to keep up with my lectures and tutorials. Of course, I didn’t. He wouldn’t have to keep reminding me if I could. However, when I look around to the other choristers, they never seem to have a problem about turning up for extra practices sessions to meet those unreasonable deadlines. In fact, they are the ones who initiated these sessions. Are they coping well academically? Or is it just me? I don’t think they would want to fail their tests too right? That’s why I keep thinking I just need more time to study than they do.

Speaking about studying, it just turns me off. It’s not just about finding time to settle down and study. Even when I finally do find the time, focusing is an even bigger problem. Furthermore when I get stuck at a question, there is a high tendency to spend even more time revisiting the question again. However, I always console myself to the fact that I’m not alone and many other people face the same problem. Then again, that’s no excuse.

Not long ago, Wentao, our class assistant CT representative, sent an SMS to our class regarding Miss Tengara wanting our class to carry out a class CIP project that I, as the welfare representative, would be in charge of. Until now, I have not approached her regarding it. Over the weekend, I have thought over what we as a class can do. I must say, our class, 06S64, is quite a unique class. From an outsider’s point of view, we are a bunch of lazy people who cannot be bothered to do anything other than those which are compulsory. However, as an insider, I feel that our class is a very mature and fun-loving class. I enjoy being in 06S64. But taking everything into consideration, I feel that it would not be appropriate to organize a trip out of school to carry out CIP. After all, the turn up would not be good.

As such, I have two proposals. First, we can find a way to sell food items in the canteen like how the netball team has sold ice-cream. Another feasible food item would be waffles (yum-yum). Then, the profits received would be donated to charity. Secondly, we can invite external vendors such as Bread Talk or Old Chang Kee to bring in their products into the school canteen and we can sell them as a class. Before they step in, we could arrange a deal with them to donate part of the earnings to charity. I feel that the idea is brilliant! We do not even have to step out of school and we can do our part for the community. After all, money does make the world go round. As for the other aspects of CIP where service is involved, we’ll leave it to another time when the class is ready.

That’s all for now!~

2006-04-12T23:20:00.000+08:00

I do not know if things have started to turn for the better or the worse. There is no longer any time left for me to laze around anymore, but it’s amazing that I can still find time to do so. Within these few upcoming weeks, tests are coming up to consolidate what we have learnt so far. Furthermore after that, what separates us from the block tests are just the mid-year holidays. Hopefully, I would be able to properly utilize this one full month to prepare myself for the block tests.

Today, we had a very interesting CT session with our caring and fun-loving civics tutor Miss Tengara. Our class was gathered in a classroom instead of the usual auditorium and we were told to write letters to ourselves which would be sent back to us at the end of the year. At first, I found it extremely meaningless to do so. However, as everyone settled down to write, I also started to pen my thoughts. Slowly, I started to find meaning in the exercise. It was an avenue to list down my current situation, my goals, my obstacles etc. It makes me realise where I really stand and what I need to do, fast.

I was surprised when Miss Tengara released us early from the classroom and told us to join her for tea at the canteen. There, she told us more about her upcoming wedding during the June holidays. We could see that everything was already planned out right down to every little detail and she was waiting patiently for the time to come. By showing so much interest in her wedding, it seemed that we were even more excited about it than she was. Miss Tengara even went on to answer questions posed by Yumin as to how she met her fiancée, how love blossomed and how he proposed to her etc. Time flew by and it was time for us to leave for our various CCAs.

Later during choir practice, our work plan was given out to us showing exactly what we need to do for the following two months. Upon reading the schedule, I feel excited yet even more stressed at the same time. In the week ahead, we have to complete our banner painting and prepare various songs for the publicity stunt we would be performing during assembly over the bridge. This would kick start the advertising for our upcoming choir concert located at Victoria Concert Hall. Furthermore, practice sessions have become more frequent and it all just adds up together with my academic worries.

It’s all just a challenge. Here I come!~

2006-03-27T23:04:00.000+08:00

Since my first year in high school, I have never stopped writing essays or journals for such a long time. It has been a few weeks since our last essay writing exercise in school and I have stopped blogging for a while already. Floating in the midst of piano collections by the Final Fantasy Series, it makes putting down one’s thoughts into words a joy.

During this period of time, most of us have already settled down and gotten used to the pressures of juggling homework and tests, CCAs and our social lives. However, new things just keep appearing before me, making me question what actually settling down means.

PE lessons are really interesting as different classes were split into different modules and we were lucky to kick off with tennis. It was a whole lot more fun and joy compared to the rounds we ran around the school in preparation for our Annual Cross Country at the start of the year. I love tennis. When I first came to know about tennis, I found it very amazing to be able to play this “expansion” of table-tennis. While playing table-tennis I was already very excited about learning the different spins and smashes. Then, I was introduced to tennis. I was totally awed at how players rallied with each other. It just feels so satisfying to me to be able to bring the ball right over the net with speed. As such, I do play tennis sometimes with friends in our free time and use it to keep in touch with others from my orientation group or even those in different schools.

Recently, choir practice has also been much more interesting with the approaching of our concert in May. When we start to master our songs, strive to sing in harmony and endure the hardships together, it just feels more exciting as the days draw closer.

I must admit that I still am struggling to catch up with the lectures and tutorials. I know that once I am behind, it is hard to catch up. It is a vicious cycle. Once you are about to fully understand a topic and complete its tutorials, a set of new notes and its accompanying tutorial makes it way into your file. My father always reminds me, “Yes, you must enjoy your youth and make the most out of it. But no matter how you put it, studies will always come first. Make sure you put your priorities right.”

I will catch up. I have to.

2006-02-12T23:06:00.000+08:00

Well, It's been ages... As usual... But in contradiction to my previous post, I'm back in choir. Whee... I've decided to give up other commitments and put my heart into my studies and cca...

It really sounds lame... But I went to watch I Not Stupid Too today myself. Keyword is myself. And after the show, I was indeed happy with my decision. I came out with red eyes and totally emptied my tear glands. Am I too emotional? I just thought that t'was cos' I was with no one else. If there were people I know around, unconciously I wouldn't shed so much tears aha...

Jack Neo sucks with storylines la, but he kicks ass with making viewers cry like mad, then laugh like crazy immediately in the next scene, then fall silent, ready to cry again in the next next scene... It's so hilarious, yet so sad... But yea, he really brings out our culture, that's what I like.

Lol... Come to think of it, the only movies that made me cry were Jack Neo's films. Probably cos' I'm not into movies so much and only catch those real popular ones.

I had an idea of the problems faced by people my age, but watching the movie (where it was quite exaggerated) made it so darn clear... It's sooo cool. Whee.

2006-02-01T20:37:00.000+08:00

Well! Finally found The time… But as always, to gain something, you have to lose something else… I decided to quit choir… Went to Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Society instead… Why? …Choir takes up 9 hours a week and that’s not all. Choir practice starts from 4++ and I tend to waste the whole afternoon before it. Therefore in the end, the actual scenario is that ALL Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are Totally gone… Just feel like sleeping when I get home…

Furthermore, it’s not That great to just be part of the Hwa Chong Choir. If you think about it, winning individual awards would be preferred anytime over being part of a choir which won gold with honours.

Anyway, hope I did the right thing… School’s great… Settling down… Making new friends… Making friends into better friends… It’s been dynamic… Feels good…

I’m lovin’ it…

2006-01-25T22:55:00.000+08:00

It’s been a full week since I last blogged. Come to think of it, I realised it’s just a phase and that it’s not smart to blog a full passage on a regular basis. Campfire last night was the night of all nights, just as the seniors have said at the beginning of orientation. T’was even better than New Year celebrations at Downtown East.

I’m going through a new phase in my life that makes me feel very weird. I basically start to think I’m downright lousy at socialising and I become super-sensitive to every thing I do with my friends, thinking about it again and again. Everything just feels so fake. But, I know it’s not the case. I’m just thinking too much. Just makes me think about what in the world is friendship.

Just can’t wait for lessons to start, for things to settle down, for all these to clear up. More importantly, for me to get used to co-ed. Damn… My female OG friends were complaining about the guys in their class behaving non-gentlemanly and I just hope I’m not like that. Non-co-ed sucks big time, now I have to go through all this crap. But I guess it has its pros too…

Just need to tell myself what I told a friend: “Remember the past, hope for the future, live in the now.”

I just need time……

2006-01-05T22:16:00.000+08:00

The third day of orientation has ended making me feel like I’m at the other end of the universe. Similar to day one, momentum built up as the day went on, and into the night… As usual, we had lots and lots of games all over the school compound. In terms of bonding, our orientation group (OG) wasn’t exactly ideal yet.

We were kind of loose at first, walking down pathways, looking at other OGs cheering their hearts out. I was wondering what happened to us. Even when Mindy, our orientation group leader (OGL) started off cheers, our response was barely there. I was worried. But, I just couldn’t pluck up the courage to lead the cheers.

Luckily, things turned out for the better later in games which we started to win such as “twin soccer” where we actually won prizes (different brands of green tea for everyone in the OG which I found really refreshing after a exciting but tiring day) for scoring four goals. Although the rain stopped us from our games occasionally, it was great fun and time flew by. Before we knew it, orientation for the day ended. By that time, it was pouring heavily outside the hall.

I don’t know how, I don’t know why, but everything that happened on this day felt like a dream, a really great dream. I really would like to experience this dream again. Anyway, as it was raining cats and dogs, I just wanted to go home. But Bryan reminded us that we should go for an OG outing. At that time, I was thinking that he must be out of his mind and that he just had nothing better to say. Come to think of it, I just feel like hitting myself hard for thinking that way. Thinking back, I must say that we are extremely lucky to have certain people in the OG for making our OG a success. If not for Mindy to suggest an OG outing, Bryan for pushing it through, Diana and Tze Min for keeping the door open by supporting the outing, nothing would have happened. I really admire Diana and Tze Min because they were still willing to go even after nearly all the other girls said that they wouldn’t go. They were outnumbered totally by more than ten boys, but they didn’t mind. Now that’s called sporting!

We were so glad when most of the girls came to join us at the bus stop slightly later. We took a bus to The Heeren, still undecided on what to do. But when we finally reached, we decided to buy a present for Mindy and meet up with her for dinner. When we walked into the shopping mall, another part of me took over and I started doing things I really don’t do usually. May be it was because I was uncomfortable with the way we were wandering around, may be it was because it was the first proper social outing I’ve had in my life. But anyway, I started engaging everyone and we became more and more like a class who has known each other for years. Throughout the shopping, I just had to tell everyone not to block the way (basically gathering in a circle in the middle of walkways for discussions) again and again. It just came out, I didn’t think. So if anyone was offended, I’m sorry. But that didn’t seem the case as all the girls were giggling away every time those words came out and the boys thought the same. At some point, we even had the security guard staring at us, greatly increasing the frequency of my reminders. There were many other little happenings that brought much meaning to the whole outing such as deciding between two good buys. We would fuss and make so much noise and it was just great fun.

To put it simply, buying of presents for Mindy and seeing the look on her face when she received them was the peak of our outing and I really had the time of my life! Thanks to everyone for making shopping so fun! We were laughing non-stop throughout while choosing her presents and I really hope to be able to shop like that again someday.

Three Cheers for OG17! *Clap*, *Clap*, *Clap* x 3, *Clap* x 4, OG17!!!

Keep in touch guys! =)

On this day, I am officially a junior college student. Day 1 of orientation was a great success in my opinion. I was highly impressed by the way my seniors carried themselves, welcoming us into their big Hwa Chong family. While participating in the activities carefully planned out by the council, I can feel the great difference of maturity and togetherness displayed by my seniors as compared to the life we led in the high school section.

The day started off without much of a bang, but the element of fun picked up momentum as the schedule rolled on... By the time we were done with all the academic briefings and were assembled in the hall after lunch, it all then began to feel like an orientation. It was then that “I’ve Had The Time Of My Life” (Name of one out of many mass dances we learnt today) since my primary school days. No matter how hard I tried to find another reason for all this refreshing feelings and experiences, nothing came up. Yes, it was because there were girls around.

Other than the mundane but necessary academic briefings which were basically to introduce us to the syllabus of each subject, the rest of the day was broken down to mainly four portions – icebreakers, dancing, singing and cheering.

Icebreakers wasn’t that successful as the modification of “Whacko” my orientation group leader Mindy decided to let us play didn’t really let us have a chance to get to know each other well, although I must admit that it did break the ice. The name of the modified version was called “Husbands and Wives”. Rather than going around “whacking” others while trying to remember their names, this modification is a comparatively less energetic game. At first, the girls were made to stand behind the boys and the boy sitting in front of each girl is her “husband”. At first, there would be Mindy without a “husband”. So she would call out names of the boys while the girls have to tap the boys before they can walk to Mindy. Later, the boys then had to tap the girls who had their names called out, before they had a chance to walk away. Although it wasn’t a very successful modification as there was much cheating involved such as finding out the name of the person in front of you first, the hilarious mistakes brought about much giggling and laughter which made the game a successful icebreaker.

After that, we gathered at the hall for the days climax – dancing, singing and cheering. These sessions were basically for us to learn the Hwa Chong mass dances, songs and cheers for frequent use in the activities throughout our two years there. I found the dancing most entertaining as seeing the whole hall move together in one fluid motion was just too satisfying. Furthermore, some of the many mass dances required us to find partners of the opposite gender. With well choreographed dance movements passed on from many years ago from the rich tradition of Hwa Chong, we all had a great time with our partners. For me, I loved the feeling of dancing with someone else, laughing at each other when either of us made a mistake, at the same time also consoled that everyone else is going through the same thing.

What a way to start off day 1 of orientation 2006! I really look forward to the two whole weeks of healthy fun and thank the council for all their efforts. From today’s experience, my urge to join the Music & Dance Society is getting stronger and I hope it would be a choice I will not regret.

I feel so shagged now. Although day 2 is mainly academic according to the programme booklet, I guess should go to bed early. I’m hoping that the people from the rest of the junior colleges who are having their orientations enjoy loads and loads of fun too!

The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight… what a precise way of portraying the situation our world’s depleting resources are in. Written by Thom Hartmann, this book was recommended to me by my father. He told me to study it as it would aid me greatly, expanding my pool of resources to meet the demands of the General Paper module. More importantly, the book would provide me many new perspectives to the current situation our world is in.

Only after reading a tenth of the book, I have already gained many new insights and perspectives to what is wrong and why our world is in peril. It is amazing how Hartmann can piece together his floorless wholesome viewpoint which has much cold hard facts as backing.

I will now try to summarise what little I have digested so far. First, Hartmann emphasizes that we are all made of sunlight. Think of it this way – we all feed on plants directly or indirectly through herbivores or even-more-indirectly through carnivores that eat herbivores and so on. Since plants are the only organisms which have the capability to store energy from sunlight through a series of chemical reactions, they are the reason why we can live on this beautiful earth, so thank them!

During the time mankind first roamed the earth, they lived off what their environment could provide them directly – basically fruits to pluck and animals to hunt. However, when humans discovered that some animals they hunted could feed on other plants that they could not, the idea of domestication and herding was born. From then on, food supplies soared and population was on the rise.

As time goes on, mankind discovers more and more different means of garnering energy. But ironically, these resources were in the forms of minerals, coal, oil etc. and were limited. Sadly, humans became more and more dependant on these limited resources, turning to mechanization and other forms of technology to further strain the already depleting reserves.

Hartmann puts it in a way that makes me feel that the sky will really be falling down on us. I can only hope that the solutions he speaks of which I will get to read in detail in the later parts of the book can raise my spirits again. In his concept, the word at hand is sustainability. When humans start to use up energy more than the earth is getting daily through sunlight, it is bound to deplete sooner on or later. The driving force of our world today is mainly oil. As these oil reserves are formed over millions of years, they can be termed as “ancient sunlight”. As such, we are draining what little is left of this “ancient sunlight”. Furthermore, we are nearly totally dependant on these limited resources as the massive oil industries are actively suppressing the development of garnering alternative energy resources. As the years go by, we are improving our technology to harvest these resources at a quicker pace, making it seem as though advances in technology are actually driving us to the verge of destruction on many fronts. Therefore, the situation we are in seems very bleak.

What I have written above is basically only one of the many concepts Hartmann has brought out in his amazing book which Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God has labeled, “One of the most important books you will ever read in your life”.

I hope you found the entry meaningful!

Hee...once you start, you just wanna keep going don'tcha! Well, here’s my second entry!

First things first, a Happy New Year to everyone! I'm very happy this year because I started it off with my first foam party in my life! It was during the countdown party at Downtown East...

My relatives had organised a chalet at Aloha Loyang in Pasir Ris and it was walking distance from Downtown East where all the fun is! After getting drenched in the rain in a failed attempt at cycling at the Pasir Ris Park which had a cycling track but cannot-make-it, we dragged ourselves back to the chalet in hope of a miracle.

Appeared, a miracle did, after we made a trip to Downtown East where a countdown party was taking place. Well I can’t say much about the countdown party other than it gave us a warm-up for the overnight partyin’ later. But yea, da peeps who moved to the techno beat in the huge round tent were getting real high in preparation for the countdown. Although I called it a foam party, the foam actually lasted only for about 5 seconds together with bewildering firework displays. To top it up, there was actually more foam around as thousands of “foam cans” (whateva you call those things people spray down your neck) were emptied during the party.

The real thing came during the disco after the countdown where we had great fun groovin’ to the beat, some mischief picking up leftover “foam cans” and spraying everyone from the back (in fact girls only) in their hair, down their necks and other skin-exposed areas (I heard one spray went down an ass-crack =X oooh… that must have been real coolin’).

What’s most memorable would be that it was my first disco nite. It was the first time I had let go, dancing to the beat with everyone else (can’t actually call it dancing for a noob like me). But I must say the DJ also cannot make it, just like the cycling track… Throughout the night, he was only able to fork out two sentences. The first being, “Comon’ people mAke sOME NOISE!” and the second being “SomEboDY scReAM!”. I’d say he did those two sentences really well as it made everyone scream out and get real high. I mean, if you just say two sentences at every disco, you had gotta be good right? But comon’ man, sAy sOMEthInG eLsE! Furthermore, one of my cousins is a skilled dancer, who opened up a “challenge arena” for other dancers to strut their stuff. It was a real eye-opener for me as I never had a chance to see professional dancing such as break dancing up close. Just makes me feel like joining dance for EP3 (CCA) in JC…

Whee! I’ll have a countdown party by myself tomorrow for the start of school! Haiz~, it’s just sooo ironic… During schooldays, you can’t wait for the holidays to kick all that assignment and tests away. But when the hols. are here, we’re really anticipatin’ for school to start! Dont'cha?

Argh...my hands just won't move. Seen lots of it, but never tried it. Well, there's always a first, so here goes...

Just three more days to go, and my wheel of life turns a wee-bit quicker. After four years of fooling around with the boys, it's time for co-ed! As they all say, there's a both the good and bad to things... In this case, there's more good than bad I guess... Wait, is there even a bad side to it?
As for the good side of the coin, girls are girls, boys are boys. So wouldn't having a mix of both make a whole?

Yup, there's the bad side. I'd miss those things we use to do in class which would have been impossible with Them around. You know... Bonding*... "Mongol Wrestling"**... even making some noise would seem funny with girls around.

Speaking about girls, they took up two full assemblys where we sat in the auditorium watching interviews with girls from other schools on how gentlemanly Hwa Chong Institution (High School Section) boys a.k.a. Chinese High boys are. For me, I wouldn't say it was a waste of time. This was actually REAL feedback from the REAL people... In the end, I can't say I came out a better person. But, I realise that it is really a you-are-what-you-act world out there. Girls really do go for those little actions here and there. I mean...yea, every little bit counts, but I never really thought it counted That much. They want you to pull out chairs, open doors, do the ladies-first thinggie for 'em. Bah...humbug...

Come to think of it, I'm really, really gonna miss my secondary school days... Really miss it you know... When you get into junior college, the whole atmosphere changes... its just so saddenin'! I can't speak like I know, but its true! Everyone, boys Or girls, they just aren't their normal selves. For boys its actin' cool, serious, for many its unconscious, reason Obviously being that girls are around. For girls, they'll probably do the like in their vast range of attractive behaviors. Why can't everyone be themselves? Just like me? jkjk... haha... Damn it, why am I thinkin' so much, just live life to the fullest! Just like what Bobby McFerrin sang "Don't Worry, Be Happy!".

Well, imma going for a relatives gatherin' tomorrow at Pasir Ris Beach... Really hope I'll do well in "Taboo"***, "Win, Lose or Draw", the list goes on...

* - Stripping a poor target down to his briefs. The more the struggle, the more the fun...
** - It's basically Judo for noobs and carried out on the cold hard floor of the classroom...
*** - In "Win, Lose or Draw" you can't talk or act. Here, you're not allowed to act nor say The word...
