feeling:tired...
Listening to:All you wanted(Michelle Branch)
Well, i guess i'll blog every consecutive day instead now.. I don't think I have the energy to keep up daily blogging.. haaxxx....
Well, the chinese teacher today was a total jerk. I din wanna copy from the transparency the answer cuz my eyes were feeling strained. Then he came over and asked me what I was doing... I tried to explain, and perhaps might have offended him with slight inappropriate misuse of language (like come on, I was desperate to portray my thoughts and put it into words then..... in a language I dread......) I tried to explain that I would copy from SQ when he's done. Man the teacher's such a jerk. Nag, nag nag.. fine.. fine.. I copy. Fine. I don't lose anythign by pretending anyway. So much for being honest and explanatory.
Physics (early in the morning) we were like, playing in class. Mr Phang wasn't here again. Then, a shuai ge teacher came in.. woo.. And somehow, we found him so much a better teacher. He explained things so clearly that nobody could possibly not understand.. appreaciate that...
Math was quite ok. I opened up to Mr Owyong a little during the toilet break, when I exclaimed that En Hua is the 'do not sleep' master. Since it was the last lesson of the day, ppl were practically falling asleep..
PC-games time..... was a total waste of time, as usual. We went there at 3.30, only to be told we were actually scheduled at 4.30. DARGH! that means we have to wait an extra hour?! what the hell. The teacher Ms Choo or Ms Joo(not sure) was like "We cannot handle too many classes at once..." wat the heck. Its not like, you all are going to teach a full-blown lesson. Like heck, we just run two rounds, and the rest of hte time is up to us already.
Well, I do hope that we can get that same time slot again next week... Either that, or perhaps we should find time as a class to ask that teacher to reschedule us...
Anyway, went for debate after that.. Hmm.. Kinda impressed by that kinda hard work that Arkesh put in. Yah, he was a snob, a jerk sometimes... Anyway, in a way, sometimes still a pleasant person to work with. We discussed the china stuff. i was quite quiet cus that really wasn't in my field of knowledge. Anyway, I tried to contribute as much as I can. Sometimes, I really wonder how I can elevate my state of mind to something like Arkesh's. not saying that I admire him or anything, but honestly, pondering on matters of psychology and neurology.. I was just wondering.... How you stimulate the mind to perform at higher standards of efficiency.
Perhaps there's a psychological techique. one which enables one to tweak his mind to process higher amounts of information in shorter amounts of time. That's one thing I need seriously during a debates. I fear one thing now:getting into debate. Altho i wanted so badly to get into that debate team, but I really am wondering if my mind will be quick enough to provide counter-arguments for the opponent points of information. Considering that I'm already stumbling while trying to prepare proper rebuttals for my 3rd spkr position during my debates last year.
Haahh.. I think i've overdedicated myself. Shooting, band....
Perhaps I pursued shooting with pure intention. Band? I pursued it for two reasons. One is because of her. One is because I wanna hone my skill in the flute. (wasn't so pure an intention after all, huh?).. Ok, debate, I pursued it partly cuz I wanted to hone my debate skills. Partly because I knew it would ultimately benefit my GP. Only shooting i joined with pure interest.
Sighs.. This week's gonna be crazy.... Let's just see how things unfold. Whether or not I end up in the team....remains largely to be seen. As far as I know, Jeryl, Akesh, Priya and Samantha are definitely going in. The last position remains between me and En Hua. Well, he makes a better speaker than me... I guess if the time comes when its the decision between me and him... I think I might just give it up for him....
Oh dear... i'm broke.. left 10 cents. lucky tml is feb. i'm getting next month's money.. haa!
feeling:worried..
Today is sunday.. Not much. Went to church early for BS.. Studied on 1Cor 8 and 9. This is about eating of food offered to idols. However, Paul took 3 chapters to explain this one thing about Christian liberty, and drew many principles from it. From the Bible passages, some things make me wonder what paul would be like if he were a 21st century debator. He would probably be a very good debator...
Hmm.. Today's my Grandad's 76th birthday. Wow.. well, I was playing a bit with my baby cousins, and daniel was a little cute with his 'biaoge i wan bao bao'. so i teased him.. haha.. little did he know i was recording him.. hahaa.
Hmm.. Came home and started using the com. But after awhile, my nose started bleeding. This time, the bleed was almost unstoppable. The pool of blood that ended up in the sink really did scare me. AFter I failed to stop the bleed, I desperately went to my mum. oh dear. I do hope this does not develop into some medical condition like nose cancer. Perhaps I've been straining my body too much lately..
I got the bleed again while watching jurassic park:the lost world. Hmm.. The bleeds starting to get more and more frequent. Sometimes i'm awoken at nearing 6am because my nose starts bleeding again. And funny thing is that, only the right nostril bleeds. The left nostril has never bled before in my life.. hmm.. Let's just hope there's no tumourous lump growing there...
Well, keene sent me naruto Ep44.. YAYYY!! can watch ler...!!! hmm.. wanna try sth mischievous.. I wanna convert it to .knm and play it on my palm in school.. AHAAA!!!
Too bad the smart movie player duzn work for my palm. Sorry, Leung Yu...
feeling:unhappy....duh......
Ok lar.. today band practice lor.. They said at 8.. I thought i was late, so i ran all the way. Turns out, I was early!..... wow.. Well, I was jus sitting there like some idiot until my senior asked me to take a flute... (huh? oh yeah.. I din know she was there too.. haha.... or I would have taken the initiative to ask her..)
Hmm.. okay... But I took that time to look thro the last page of persis.. and hey!! I managed to clean it up a little. Altho i still canot play the whole thing in tempo. haix.. sadded....rusty liaox.....
But the most sadded thing is......haix.... i wish SHE din ask if it were her.... it just feels so...cold between us now.. Barely got chance to talk to her at all,......sighs.... sadded.......someone hug me pls..............................................
Anyway, ended prac at 12.. i went straight home.. nth much.. i miss my pokemon.....lol.. kidding lar..
slpy.. gonna slpppppp.... nitez....
feeling: a lil' blue.. a lil' happy.. haxx..
Well, First things first.. I got into shooting... Well, Isaac was more pro than me.. He got into pistol AND rifle (Heck, he's the only guy who got into both!!) Well, We skipped mass dance. Nothing much...
In math, i guess I did regain a lil' bit of respect for Mr Owyong.. Well, I suppose at that time he didn't understand the situation enuf, and started nagging me.. perhaps his teaching method of asking students to present their argument on their method really did regain a lil bit of my respect for him. After all, he's one of the rare few teachers who teach math like Mrs Shelia Philip.. Well, speaking of her, I found a friend of priya, who has another friend who happens to be Mrs Philip's daughter.. whoa.. Well, I sent her my regards...
Anyway, that was that. Math, then econs, then GP. Mr Goon was as funny as ever. I drew a small lil' portrait of Mr Goon in my palm and sent to Leung Yu for fun.. haha... But after GP, I was totally jus bored.. At first i went to play badminton with Varuun and a few others.. After playing for awhile, i began to feel the heat (cuz its stuffy tehre, and lotsa ppl too... So I went down to eat.
Anway the exciting part comes during band... We got to play persis!! My dream come true.. But it wasn't as easy as I thought. I'm totally not up to scratch. The running notes on the last page, i totally jus faked them during the initial round. ok lar, i did still retain a small measure of integrity, but i missed quite a few of the accidentals. I guess I wasn't the strongest player there. I might know the vibrato. So what? I was totally way way way behind two of the others. behind wei long or whatever his name is. Behind that nanyang girl.. haven't quite got her name either....
Well, the piccoloist is starion.. wierd name (i've heard wierder, like garrison and goliath..) Well, can't blame his straight playing, since he's only got one year exp behind him... However, i'm not much better myself. At least he can play straight notes and run on them. I can't do the running properly in persis.. Haixxx...
Persis as played by JJ band is ok. Precise, altho slowing down at times. however, it lacks two main aspects, much to my disappointment... It lacks bass support, cross-listening, and finally, it just lacks that lil' bit of secret formula.. that clarity of parts, that lil' bit of feeling that adds the ultimate punch to the piece.. Lacks expression. Everything is so straight. So predictable. I hate that... Yes, they might have played everything right.. But they lack the most important thing-expression;feeling... I guess i don't have much more to complain about. I'm not up to scratch myself... vibrato or no vibrato...
I went home feeling rather blue.. okay.. was with Henry and co... I faked a smile.. I just.....kept my feelings out of reach.. but inside i was feeling terrible.. perhaps its because this is the first time i've ever been in a band where i'm not the best flautist around. Thinking back, in CCK, everything was going so well. I was improving so rapidly that there came a time when I even surpassed my seniors. (or so, I felt.)I never really did surpass Anneson. Anyway, Starion reminds me of Anneson... the lil' bit of gay-likeness......ok lar.. dun mean to insult him lar.. they are both perfectly male.. just that they would probably be the last to be 'lean mean fighting machines' should the need arise..
Well, I missed a lot back then. My development in the flute totally halted as soon as Mr Chew left CCK due to personal reasons.. He actually scheduled his friend to take over, but.....it didn't happen.....Well, during the time Mr Ong was around, my standard dipped sharply in the wake of not having all that technique exercises... It dipped even more during my 2-year stay at YCS band. My training and all was totally undone there. Good habits that were formed (like sitting with correct posture) were torn asunder there... by old, naggy, saggy, laggy mr tan....
Sighs.. But I can't sit here and self-pity... I feel I've got to prove myself... I've almost lost my passion for music in the past two years in YCS band... I guess I'm here to regain it.. I feel that I've got to prove myself... to prove myself capable of improving rapidly under right conditions. Prove myself a quick learner.. I don't know....
Anyway, The shooting practice conflicts with band... on fri... I don't wanna be guai lan and tell them that i dun wanna join....after all that difficulty.. after all that hitting the centre.. I really wanna go start on shooting now.. Perhaps my gun can be my best friend..
Anyway, I've cleaned up the rollerblade ball bearings. I just went for a run. Quite smooth.. Just that it was a lil' squeaky, cuz there wasn't any oil. I don't know where to get the oil, but i'll get the oil when I do. I need it badly. Well, if I could, I would get new beaerings altogether... those with removable shields... sealed shields may become dented after some time..
Sighs.. not in very much of a good mood. While something to celebrate would be my entrance to the shooting club (and isaac's too..)......but something to mourn would be my impaled mastery of the flute.. It's fallen so far short of that standard of perfection...I guess i'll end here...
Feeling: sian.. this is the third time i'm typin this entry.. com siao siao...
Well, phy prac lesson was rather boring. i was slping when the teacher was explaining. its about a pendulum suspended on two strings.. I was pondering during O lvls how convenient this setup will be... well, anyway, i was spending my time disturbing samuel and varrun, and playing ard with the microsoft excel in my palm instead of recording readings and plotting the graph... I kept distracting varrun while he was counting by asking him whether he wanted to eat prata later.. When tat failed to work, i counted with him, and then purposely counted another number to confuse him...
Leung yu kept referring to himself as 'swiss cottage' and me as 'yuan ching'.. Then he kept saying things like "see? swiss cottage so fast. Not like yuan ching, playing with his palm.." he finished within half an hour and started playing you see.. then later, he borrowed my math from me (oh no.. he went home with it later on.. supposed to hand up today...) and said "yuan ching so clever. Swiss cottage wants to borrow math from yuan ching"... haha.. he was being lame..
Anyway, we went for prata later on. Sq and IZ joined me in the canteen. I blew my budget, but who cares? Well, we headed for GP lesson right after that.. Mr Goon was rather comical. in his own right..He went thro the notes, then he said, "lets see if anyone does not know what's going on. CLEMENT LOW!! where's clement low?" i was like, what did i do wrong? anyway, i answered his questions to the point.. Looks like altho he's not mr houndart, he probably might make a good GP tutor.. Not like Ms Ng from yesterday.. haha...
Econs lecture was boring... Totally could not concentrate.. but i did manage to catch bits and pieces from SQ and mavis... I was constantly drawing on my notes, so i told mavis, "if i took econs at sec 2, my art would have passed with flying colours"(cuz my art at that time kept failing.)
Well, when the painful excruciating lecture was finally over, I skipped civics and went to send my palm for repair.. Cool.. A reconditioned palm!! Stupid me.. I forgot to go check out stadium. I heard that there were cheap rollerblade ball bearings being sold there.. Currently, some of my ball bearings jammed during the sentosa trip, cuz david and I din know that this would happen if we walked on the sand with rollerblades (dun worry david, I don't blame you.).. Well, my palm was like, siao siao.. now after i sent in for repair, the reconditioned one is almost as good as new... ALMOST...... There's still some bugging bugs in it that..... i will love to get rid of.....
Cool.. Tomorrow is debate.. and band... Oh boy.. how the heck am I supposed ta juggle.. I wish i can go for the debate tournament, but........ I think Mr Kong probably would try not to bother me, since I'm joining band... I think i shouldn't have told him what I did.. After all, the motion is coming out tomorrow.. Haixxx.... this is baaadddddd.....
I am a lil' excited tho.. Tml going to band.. And this is the first band i've ever been in that plays Persis... WHoa.. my fav.... Shooting results will be out. From what I heard from ShenHui, i think they might have to quarter the current ppl. Now there are 18 ppl who entered the second round. They'll probably only choose 5 ppl, since there are only a limited number of lanes in the shooting range.. After all, they have to choose another 5 from the second intake ppl.. so i stand a 1-in-4 chance to enter.. Lets hope i get in.. Shenhui told me they would count the trial card... hmmmm...(my trial card all 5 shots hit the black area.. Woot!!)
HAAAA!!!! i'm goin to slp......
feeling:fine...
Huh? I checked the shooting board. No 3rd selection? die liao.. i think i'll be eliminated... because my actual card (see ytd post) i misfired 4 times, and i hit the borders of the black (inner) circle. sighs.. Altho my trial shots, i got all 6 shots into the black area....
Hmm.. GP Was so siaaannnnnnnnnnnnnn..... watched a lil bit of saving pte ryan, then we were supposed to say abit about what war was about. The teacher, Ms Ng totally treated us like some adolescents.. she might have been a better primary school teacher... But................... I guess that's why we call her 'Ms Ng' and not 'Mrs something' or 'Mdm something else'(catch my hint?)........
Well, we went thro some essay qns and took a whole lot of time doing it.... okay.. i must admit, i learnt something new about hinge words....
Chinese class we made some lantern, which we tried to make to look like some chicken.. Unfortunately, as you can see here, we..........didn't..........succceeedd..............
Here's Henry trying to touch-up our 'chicken'....(he must feel honoured to appear on both my and leung yu's blog....)
Haha.. the result was comical.. Anyway, our chinese teacher told the class rep to hang it up.. (lucky its not me......)
well, i was totally slacking during math and phy lectures today.. Going backwards, i went for a cuppa and a cheese toast at the cafe after math. Cost me quite a bit, but that was quite worth it. En hua was with me, and we realised after some time that we were late for phy. Luckily, we went in just about when it started (the teacher must've wasted quite a good deal of time...)
Hmmm.. Finally, i received the ski pic from Aunty Serena... Haha.. They din manage to get any pics of us coming down.. That was sadddd.. but at least, altho din get a pic of me in action skiing down the mt, but got a pic of myself in full gear.. hoho!!!
feeling:excited
today was rahter ordinary. Did up my math in school. Math tutorial was totally boring, and i was jus doing my own stuff and minding my own business all the time. I was doing up the math homework, and i overlapped it into econs clas.. oops, sorry ms chin... i did math during your lessons.. haha...
Anyway, next up was phy lecture. WTH.. duno wat the heck was going on.. Mr Cornelius (CORNINESS) Chew took the lesson and went way, way, way too fast.. I was jus grappling the basics, and doign my math at the same time. I finished everything adn returned Varrun his paper...
then was civics class.. okay played some games, played charrades.. haha.. then went on for econs lecture. My my, Ms Chin might be a good tutor, but a lousy lecturer.. mann.. i totally din understand.. Haix.. looks like i gotta put a lil' more effort into understanding...
PC was siao. the gold n silver for sec 4 were separated from the rest o' the group. First, we were told to run around the track, going up the grandstand, and down again. We had to do this twice. That was tiring, but if you thought that was the worst, we had to run the track once again, but not before doing a whole lot of chin-ups. Every time the teacher blew his whistle, we had to do 10 push-ups. whoa........ then, we had a game of 'catching'. It was something like a relay race. One of us was put in front of the other. I paired up with zhengji. Then we were supposed to be in sitting position facing the opposite direction. First round, i failed to catch zhengji.. second round, Zhengji's turn to catch me. This time, the loser had to do 20 pushups. He didn't catch me, but i did the 20 pushups with him instead...
After PC, i went for the shooting trial, second round. My hand was already shaking like hell after the PC. the name on the board was "clement loo'. at first, i thougt it was the swiss clement who came to JJ. but i realised i coulda scribbled and made the 'low' look like a 'loo' Ended up, it was me.. ahaaa! the trial target card, i had all five shots in the black portion (10-7 pts).. that was a mean feat, considering that my hand was shaking like siao, then the black portion would look not more than 2cm in diameter from that distance. the gun was heavy too.. when i wheeled back hte trial card, the J2 shooter in charge of me went like "gasp!" I thougt it was because i took an extra shot, but i realised that she meant that i had all my shots in the black. However, my actual card was not as good. I had 6 shots in the black (one on the border of hte black and white), and four right at the border of the black. My hand was shaking like siao, and then i was taking hell of a long time to aim. I raised my hand and put down like, five or six times before i actualy shot. after my third shot, i actually took a break... Well, let's hope they look at the trial card as well..............
Here's a pic of the shooting range!! I'm in the last lane. pity Isaac din take a pic of me getting ready to shoot......
Hmm.. oh yeah.. one of isaac's 'girl-friends'.. wow!! hmm.. chio rite? (lets hope she duzn see this lol...)
feeling:just a little pissed......
well, i guess i'll jus talk a little about that RI guy.... Prakesh...
He was so damn funny. Coming in with that straight face and that little frown there. I suppose he will be one hard mind to break into... Anyway, I made my speech. Mr Kong gave me that look, and i really got rather frightened. However, he explaine later that he was trying out if i were to get thrown off, because sometimes, debate coaches might throw you some of those dirty glances to throw you off.. haaa.. relief...
Priya performed like expected in the previous one (she was before me) Next up was Prakesh, then En hua. The whole thing was very comical. He went, "good afternoon ladies and (pointing to priya) lady" En Hua got so totally pissed he started noting down everything prakesh said in his speech, and during his turn, he rebutted every single point, however, not as effectively because he's still amateur. however, i was pleasantly surprised by his ability to inject that infectuous humour that kept the four girls in front laughing nonstop. Anyway, when he was cross-questioned, he did provide some of his own insights, and at the end, he went up to prakesh and did that 'no hard feelings thing' by asking him to lighten up. Well, i do hope this is the first step. Definitely, i fear that if we were to make a team with prakesh, teamwork will not be something so easily forged.
Like come on, the very first thing that he did right on the first day that did piss me off is to look at my YCS uniform and stay far away from me and En hua.... I was like, "yo! come on in!!" (trying to be welcoming) but he was like, gave me that awkward stare, and sat right at the other corner. damn.....
Well, PC for today was total crap. Ran two rounds of the field, then tried to get a game to play. Well, MR veila (or whatever his name is) was a rather pleasant teacher. we couldn't find somewhere where we could socially fit ourselves in at first, so he asked if we could find any sport to play. Not wanting to trouble him, i told him that we were deciding on basketball. Quite a nice guy, really. Anyway, this thing was rather lame. If only we were allowed to use the courts to play. Heck.... Cuz in the wind and open weather, i totally could not perform to max.
Leung yu went back to collect his pe attire. Oops. I totally forgot about him. Should have messaged him and told him not to come instead. since i only knew last min that the thing was at 3:30. Really sorry, leung yu!!....
The shooting board has a 'clement loo' with no class attached.. HEck! I don't even know if i survived the first round. I heard there's another clement from Swiss in JJ.. DUno if that's him... Anyway, its only a letter's difference between clement LOO and clement LOW.... very hard to say leh.... sian.. I'll have to wait then... Isaac pro.. Both air rifle and pistol also got.. walau. i damn jealous sia...
got math tutorials which i haven't done up yet. HARGHS! I was hoping to finish all this shit here, then go on to it. If my dad had not taken so long, i'd not have slept, and perhaps i'll have completed the tutorial by now. HECK.. now i've only got this few hours to complete the assignment, and hopefully the next tutorial.. HECK! and mr owyong expects prim and proper work (Even in the tutorials, which I'm NOT REQUIRED TO HAND UP!!!).......
nah. i'd better get going with my shit before i get shitted up.. crap...
Feeeling:damn pissed....
My dad wanted to use the com for 'a little while'. Ended up, he used it for 'his little while' and poof. I ended up taking a short nap, wasting the time from when he finished til now, 11 plus. Damn! i was expectig him to like, inform me when it was done or something!!!
BARGH!!! Too pissed to write anything else. There is this interesting part about this RI guy i met in debate. BARGH. FORGET IT! no mood now. HAH!
I'm so pissed i'll probably chew my com up next for being THIS laggy after my dad reformatted it. Cool right? lags for 1 second every 30 seconds or so. So no matter what I do, IT WILL LAG!! (DAMN.. WHY THE HECK HAVE TO REFORMAT?! IT WS FINE BEFORE!!!!)
Feeling:exasperated.
dammm.. My stupid brother took over the computer for some 'project' I was so damm pissed when i found him doing a simple powerpoint, and chatting at the same time. bloody hell. The worst thing is that my mum sides him. Bleah.!
Anyway, went to cut my hair.. The barber took a tad too much out of my fringe. Now after i wake up any time, all my hair stands up;..
Sighs... nothing much happened today. besides, i'm too pissed right now to type anymore.
Feeling:tired... undecided...
Well, went to Ngee Ann with SQ and TY.. TY being the year-1 student there at Ngee Ann, brought us around. Haha.. he kept pointing out the various canteens, and we got to see his many girl-friends.. hohoho(he has boy-friends too!)... Well well well.. How many of you remember Suraj? ooo.. well, I knew him way back in secondary 2, in CCK sec..haha.. he's the guy always bringing the laughter into the class. We used to stick around a lot.
Anyway, I asked lotsa questions about the various courses, about engineering, and about U- admission. Hmm. Seems like I have a sizeable opportunity to enter the U from Poly. Perhaps I might consider a Poly education. Certainly, slogging in a JC for two hard years, slogging your guts out on subjects you don't want to take, then finally, with that result (depending on certain ppl... some get better grades, others don't), you may not even get into the U course you want to.
Engineering. you take three years poly, with hands on exp, then you go into second year U (if you get an above avg result). cool... Not like JC. only paper certs. No 6-mth attachment prog.. haha...
Well, SQ went to ask about life sciences. Chem engineering. Well, I do suppose that has some potential as well.
Lots of potential to develop your strong points in poly. This is one thing that cannot be present in a JC. Sure, you get the course you want with the subjects you like in JC. But no matter how it goes (unless you're good in both GP and MT), your wings of potential will still be clipped by the shears of the subjetcts you are not good in(in my case, MT. In others' cases, perhaps GP).
hmm... there again, there's this 10% of myself that still refuses to let go of JC. hmm.. lets hope i make my mind up fast. then i can save 2 months of my time. instead of going to JC for another 2 mths before poly starts, i can actually use the 2 mths to do something constructive.
Feeling:great
Well, I had a full day at sentosa.. With my OG and F2..
Haha.. we guys started the whole day off by a game of soccer on the scorching coarse sand.. oww.. that hurt on our soles.. Then we felt boliao and started dumping ppl in the water. Haha.. our first few failed. Each and every one of them started hugging the palm trees (like lia) and then the radio.. it was soooo funny..... Then we tried to pry lia's hands away from the tree, and she started screaming like she was being .... you know wat lar... lol
We decided to tartget one of our OGLs.. Yong shen and lye zhen din seem much fun to dump, so we decided to go for one of the female ogls. Then someone suggested Yee Pei... Then another OGL came along, and we enlisted his help. They were having mass dance, so he just conveniently fit in, then scooped her over his shoulder, and ran down the beach and dunked her in the water... it was so funnnyyy... hahaa..
Then we decided to go for patsy. She was in the toilet, so we had to wait. Then, after she came back, she sat down straight and started eating her delifrance bread.. lol.. so we were like, waiting and waiting. Finally our wait paid off. She stopped eating, so we grabbed her, dragged her out, and the four of us, each with a limb, carried her down the beach and dunked her in too.. haha.. that was sooo funny...
Finally, we decided that dunking wasn't going to be very much more fun, so we decided to give it a rest. Then, charlie and yaojun suggested swimming over to a small tiny island barely 10m away. We swam there without much difficulty, and whooo.. had the time of our lives there. We played around with the sand (it was wonderfully different) We climbed up the rocks and decided to shout back to our OG, but they din seem to be able to hear us, so we climbed down. Then Charlie lay down on the sand, and we decided that it would be a good idea to suntan there abit..
After quite abit, we swam back, only to find the rest in a rather lazy mood. Charlie's 'angels' started begging him to swim with them there, so we decided to swim there again. This time, we stayed there for ages, just suntanning and chatting, until we decided that it was getting late. We swam back, and true enough, most of the people went to eat something already. Then, Yaojun called yuwei, asking him to tapao something from BK for us to eat. in the end, Kok mun delivered it to us (thanks!) and we had a nice meal. Sun, sand sea, food and entertainment (another 2 OGLs were dancing theree.. haha)
After that, we decided to go home, but it was a long wait for everyone to get ready. We finally watched the sunset. The girls were too slow to watch it. We watched it disappear down the horizon. After that, we went home together.
Anyway, I took some pretty nice photots there with Leung Yu's cam...
This was the island we swam to.
Nice artistic pic? I love taking artistic pics!
there are more pics.. Go look at Leung Yu's blog www.lly.get.to
Feeling:sian....
I took a short 'nap' at 7 yesterday, expecting to wake up after my brother finished his project. However, the next time i awoke, hell.. it was 4am... dannngggg!!
Heck.. I din manage to come online the day before, had no time to blog... sighs....
Shiet.. the last night's entry was totally gone.. AFter my hours and hours of typing it out.. SIgh.. who cares anyway, huh?
Sighs.. Anyway, yesterday, i went for the debate thing after civics... Whoa.. just so much to talk about.... nah.. i guess i'll save it for tonight.. If i remember.. haa...
Now its about time for me to leave for the sentosa outing..... hmmmm.....
DAng.. I tried posting my entry for today just now.. the whole thing got lost.. I think i mihgt post it again tomorrow if i have the time.. gotta type it all out again.. do'nt have the mood now, you see... REally sorry.... i wanna slp ler..
feeeling:disappointed.
Well, for those from YCS, have you ever wondered what it's like to be amidst a team of not-so-dedicated-or-helpful teachers? whoo.. okay. i'm experiencing it for the second time.... heck i'm beginning to hate this....
The first tutorial for the day. Math.. whoo.. I thought that it was gonna be fun, or at least, okay.. After all, Mr Owyong got my respect the day before during the lecture. Hmm... I think i might have misplaced it..
He started explaining his basic expectations for the class, selected the math rep, and started checking our homework. hmm.. I totally din know what to expect, and was more interested in jus trying out the questions, and heck, din really put very much effort to making it neat. After all, since (i thought) dun need to hand up, it duzn matter so long as I understand. He came around, and I explained to him my situation, and before I could even finish, he reprimanded me for my untidyness, blah blah blah. Flipped thro my foolscap pad, and started browsing thro my notes (okay that one has to be really messy. Each and every single stroke i make in my personal notes mean something to me, and me only.) and went like, "you have to be more organised than this..bla blabla....."
fine... i jus gave him some respect, nodded my head, and nobody would know how much fire i jus wanted to breathe out on him from my stomach. damn. he topped the whole thing off by telling me i was like, the slowest in the class. HECK! you haven't tested my true mettle in math, and you base this assumption on the fact that i din do up a tidy piece of work for you?! besides, i never intended to hand that up, otherwise it would be many times neater!!
HECKKK!! I HATE teachers who don't give ear to their students, brush them aside (like this)and reprimand them for faults they do not really have, or are trying their level best to get rid of. MANN! He lost my respect in that instant.
For econs, our teacher was actually our civics tutor (YAY!! ) and not that naggy ms chin. You must understand, the two people concerned here are both ms chin(s). But what a whole world of diff. I heard SQ say that his Ms Chin was like, scolding every one for every single move they made. one false move you make, like if you stretch or something like that, ha! she will start scolding ler. I hate this teacher cuz she's our lecturer.
Any time anyone was late for lectures, she will scold lke siao. Then when they try to occupy the back rows (having in mind the fact that it will cause less disruption) she starts scolding. En Hua was smart. he went all the way to the front, and then she had just finished scolding the ppl at the back. Then she turned and saw him, late. We were like, oh.. gonna kena liao.. He looked at her, she looked at him, that was a tense moment, then he slowly sat down. Then Isaac and I were like,, hahahaha!!! that was so funny.. lol(she couldn't scold him cuz he went to the front.. lol.. )
Physics teachers were not all too bad, just that physics covered on dry topics (HECK! i thought we left all this menial zero-error stuff back at secondary school?!)but good thing is that they will cover on trajectory (stuff which i've pondered since childhood).. good good good...
GP, not yet. We were only being taught how to slay the GP monster. Haha.. Newsweek and Times actually came to our sch, set up booths adjacent each other, then started publicising and telling us how students benefited in GP from the expository essays written there(oh yeah.. like the straits times' editorials were written by meagre cubs).. Nonetheless, En Hua went to screw them up. he went to newsweek, took all the benefits, then went to times and asked "can you offer better?" LOL!!
So Times was like, "oh you see, newsweek is actually a very shabby magazine.... blah blah blah" Then he took that statement and went back to newsweek, which cut its price in half and promised him 4 free gifts. hahaa!! with that, he went back to times and asked them, "can you do better?" Well, Times could not slash price, so it said "our magazine is quality stuff. we cannot slash our prices." lol!!! I wish i coulda done that too.. haha.!
PE was fun. Last week was "1...,2...,3...,4... oosh sha sha!" (running in step.. lol) with all the push ups (Mr Handsome Ng so good. only 1 push up and 1 sit up.. haha!!) this week, Mr Ang took us, and he was quite a nice guy. He wasn't so cheerful like Mr Ng, but he was quite nice nonetheless. (I heard that psyco tay was tons worse...) Anyway, he got us to do push-ups, stretches, and scissors jumps (WHOA! that was hell of a difficult exercise!!) before we ran a few rounds of the field, then the whole process went on again..
The day before, we checked the shooting noticeboard for the results. Then we din see that the list we were looking at was actually the list of ppl who havent taken their first trial and were asked to take it today. We were so disappointed until suddenly Isaac pointed out another foolscap bit that was pinned right next to the list.. harxx.. we realised.... so we were not chosen yet, neither were we eliminated. STILL GOT CHANCE!! HAA!!
Hm.. not much more to blog about. Perhaps if i remember anything, i'll post it in tomorrow's post. Oh yeah.. Forgot to thank the OGLs for the lil' book they gave us.. hee.. and a short testimonial too :) thank you!
feeling:down....
Well, the start of tutorials and such have totally caught me off my feet. Heck, today's only monday. More to come soon....
Mental resilience down to 50%.......I tend to give up easily all of a sudden.... Well, new class, new people, but suddenly, my persistence in making friends have suddenly dropped (as in I almost give up after the first try..) Anyway, the guys elected me for PE rep.... whoa... i duno if i'm really THAT popular or if they were jus finding someone to sabo.. Well, i guess i jus played along...
*tired... nah.. not in the body.. tired in the mind... I guess that the two-month break proved insufficient... Perhaps i might wanna drop out after the first three mths, take two month's REAL break (THIS time, i WON't allow anything to disrupt it...) and hit back in poly with a vengeance.. (lol.. figuratively...)
Nah.. not much mood to blog tonight... I wish my steam were working and i could jus trash some ass in CS.. But it isn... so i'm going to gunbound with keith (keifu;Totto-chan)
feelin: okay lar.. abit down... jus feel like blasting things.. haha..
Well, she knows already.. haha.. i nv expected her to be so smart.. lol.. But arghs.. anyways.... no difference if she finds out.. Besides, I don't intend to start a relationship even if she reciprocates........
Well, I tried the shooting trial.. For pistol, i got four shots on the black area with two of them overlapping (7-10pts) then i had five shots at the border of the black (5,6 pts) and one shot totally misfired (1pt).. haixx. well, i do hope i still can get in.. (i hope i can join both shooting and band...)
I registered for band.. but heck,.. there are so many flautists... bwargh!... perhaps this could be a chance for me to show how good i am at the flute.. or the reverse could be true too.. this could be a chance for me to learn a lesson or two.....
Well, just as well.. I guess i've yet to see a peer or junior exceed me in the flute. perhaps because i've only served in two bands... Besides, there are many many more flute players who are definitely better than me. I just hope to meeet one...
Hmm.. perhaps i should set a guideline on what to do for CCA selection.....
I'll join shooting if i get in, but only if SQ and IZ get in too. but if i don't, i'll join band. If I join band, i'll join the flute section only if there's nobody better than me. (or should i join only if there's someone better than me? i don't wanna compromise tian lu's chances of learning the flute). In the case I don't join flute.. hmm.. i'll probably want to learn the saxophone.. since its the only woodwind instrument left that i haven't picked up..
hmm... considerations to make........ many decisions.. sighs.. i guess i'll jut slp now.. haha...
Feeling:moody...
I talk too much.....How can anyone help me? jus tell me to shut up.. i'll appreciate that..
Sighs...
myriad of feelings bombarding me now... Having a bad cough (the worst in my life i think.. since i barely ever got coughs..) and a sore throat..
Looking for soothing or noisy music.. any to reccommend? i guess i jus wanna use them to ease up my mood a litte...
nah.. don't worry.. its not your fault guys.. you still rox.. whoever you are.. OG7, 4E1, 4E2, YCS.........
Feeling:sian....
Well, today we had 2.5 hrs of free time in sch.. just slacking all the way.. I heard that ppl were crashing JCs here and there, and two students actually went from JJ to PJ and back again before dismissal.. haah..
Well, tml is PC (Physical conditioning lar! not pastoral care... heck,, almost nobody knew, cuz they all thought its pastoral care... like me lor.. heckkk!) siao liao.. run like donkey jump like monkey.. ok lar.. so long as at the end get to play a game of badminton i satisfied le lar.. but as to whether really get to play badminton or not.. haha.. thats another thing...
hmm.. my grp had an outing today... to mcdonalds.. and hey hey hey!! Chong, Yong, Justin and keith were there.. keith dyed his hair and it kinda looked like his dog's coat of fur.. i mean the top tuft.. well i din mean it offensively, but still, the multicolours look quite cute.. hahaa.. well, i blew my budget badly, so i'm probably gonna have to live on a tight pocket this month.. Haixx. now my dream of a pocket pc is slightly further.. by a month.. We took a lot of pix, and chatted while the OGLs left... and *whew....* nobody brought the topic up or i'll be so dead......lol...
Well, when i got back, it din rain! So i went downstairs to roller blade.. hehe.. I managed to improve on my crossovers, and the T-stop is not as difficult as before.. quite satisfied.. at least I achieved something..
well, tired liaoz.. nxt time then post ba....
Feeling:reflective
WEll, i jus kinda got into that reflective mood, reflecting on my own character, my values and my personal philosophies. Hmm... Sometimes, I guess, i leak out too much information.. Info I don't want people to know... sometimes i'm a little too honest. I guess, in this aspect, I really admire Li Hao's maturity. I was rather impressed by his show of character when he said during 'e-web' "in case you all don't know, there's another guy here, and he's Ming Hui." Well, I must admit that I had two choices at that time, and I'm ashamed to say that Ming Hui was my 'backup choice'. The other choice was, of course, Kok mun.
Well, this afternoon I guess I carried the joke a little too far and offended Shi Yun. I really am sorry.. I din mean to hurt you.. I was really just playing around as I thought you didn't mind. I'm really sorry, Shi Yun.
Anyway, this morning was super... First thing of all, i was quite disappointed when i went to the grand stand area and found that my missing t shirt was not there.. disappointed, i walked down where i met chin hong and had a little chat. AIYA!! din get his contact! Then i went to the canteen where the OG chatted for awhile.. Then, suddenly, poof! my T shirt appeared right in front of me... Wow.. Yee Pei actually found it two days before (i thot she, like the other ogls, din receive my msg before leaving sch) thanks a lot! i really couldn't be any more grateful!
Then we crashed Chem lecture... hoho... well, nothing much.. But from some things the teacher said, i was starting to consider Chem Engineering in poly altho my chem is not very powerful. After all, in Chem engineering, they do everything that electrical engineers and mechanical engineers do.. Don't tell me that doesn't require physics?!
The Physics teacher was boring, but nonetheless I had fun playing around with my bluetooth.. hahaa..I did manage to find out a bit more about it. Econs lecture was worse. If you would call Mdm 'saggy' ow a monster... whoa.. i won't know what to call this econs teacher.. still, i had some fun with the bluetooth.. playing around with the various interdevice functions that it provided. Man, and we still had to buy econs notes.. haixx...
After that was total sian time.. WE went out.. Sq and IZ contemplated whether or not to attend the Fmath lecture in LT2(their class was not stated there..) I wanted to crash Fmath lecture.. But at least, not without them. Hence, when they decided to go, i went along to the canteen with them.. where i met joanne and chivi(Li Hao was going off for chem). Well, we went to the library where joanne kept pressing me for my secret while i read a chapter on thermal equilibrium. Hmm.. pretty interesting. Spoken about things i've wondered for centuries. Perhaps i'm just very interested in energy transfer, and the new topic of renewable energy. I'll talk more about that another time...
haha.. the talk for us? lol.. I was having more fun with my BT. the speaker was soooooooooo dammmmmm boring... stating examples so cliche (like the story of solomon. Anyone who hasn't read the Bible would have known of this wise man. let alone someone who has.. haixxx) that i just ended up engrossed in my world of BT.. hahaa..
Hmm.. i feel quite bad.. cuz i sent a rather hurtful message to my dad, altho i was really at the pinnacle of my frustration. However, he came home, and while i was washing the car, he quietly helped me readjust the parental controls.. well, at least, for now,, i can access other ppl's blogs.. heee.. Still, I helped him out with the laundry(which he was supposed ta help my mum with)... I guess I just hope that to be a gesture of love from son to father..
Still, I find joy that I'm finding joy in helping my dad with the laundry, helpin my mum with the car washing and helpin zuyi inform the grp abt grp mtg.. I guess... I hope its finally the time which i'm maturing... I guess i'm finally getting a step closer to what I have always desired for the past four years:maturity.
Well, stil, today's probably a reflection of a normal day at jc.. haha.. today's still quite free.. tml will be slightly better.. without the talk.. hmm... lets hope my secret escapes notice for a day.. *whew... * its getting tiring hiding it from everyone.....
feeling:unhappy
man! the stupid parental controls on my program is filtering everything from my firewall updates to practically everyone's blogs.. Sighs.. I can only go into a few ppl's blogs now.. So sian.. and my father refuses to go try and do somethign to rectify the problem.. mannn!!
Well, my 'edit post' function is not accessible because of boliao reasons the stupid parental controls decided to block it. mann!! anyway, that means if i make a typo error on my blog posting, please forgive me.. since i can't change it...
siann.. i'm so pis-sed right now... (MAN i can't even spell out bad words in full otherwise it will get filtered.. mann!!)
Feeling:tired... good..
I feel good (clap) oh i feel so good *ah* oh i feel so(clap) oh i feel so(clap) oh i feel so(clap) good *ah* *ah* *ah*...
Well, the camp was fun... but in some ways a disappointment.. Well, this made me think twice about jc education..
Anyway, WWIII was fun, as was the telematch.. I must agree that I haven't enjoyed myself more in such camp games before... However, when my mum sees the flour-stained shirt, she'll probably scream..
Well, I lost a shirt there. I know where it might be now, but as to whether it will remain there, i'm not sure.. I changed out of one of my fav shirts to a dirty shirt before playing WWIII.. then i left it at the grand stand area.. this morning, i saw it still there, but i forgot to take it in the end.. mann! well, lets hope I manage to recover it somehow..
Anyway, I made quite a few new friends.. Esp Kok Mun.. WEll, basically we were just together, and i'm glad I have a friend like me to keep me company in camp alpha.. since all my other schmates all in camp beta..
hmm.. I started liking someone in camp too.. well, it gets embarrassing esp as to who it is.. Well, I guess in such matters I should still stay disciplined as the conservative I am.. After all, since I know that God will bring into my life the 'best' better half for me, then why do I insist on having 'second best' better half?
I've decided to change the address of my blog, because of some childish person who posts insulting comments on this blog. However, I would like you all to personally ask for the address, because if I were to announce it here or on my msn nick, that person is bound to see it. Thanks for the trouble, anyway. The changing will take effect from next friday.
Feeling:tired...
WEll, mosta the time was boring... WE had to listen to the painfully boring principal address, followed by countless briefings for subject combinations.. Anyway, I have decided to take double maths and physics(like I always have...)
Well, we spent time singing songs, shouting cheers and dancing(boooorrrriinnngg..) Honestly I don't mind if i'm clustered with one or two of my frens from my own school but, I'm totally alone! Speaking about fine divisions, there are no YCS pupils in my OG nor family (one OG is about 15 ppl, one family is made out of about five OGs or so). Then there was totally no YCS pupil besides myself in Camp Alpha (one camp is made out of three families).. so when they split camp alpha and beta for activities, which they do practically all the time, i'm all alone.. harghs!
Anyway, sherman din get his shuriken.. haahaaaahaaa..... but don't worry.. you'll get it soon.... Still, lets hope tml ends up being a more exciting day in JJ... and somehow opens an opportunity for me to know a female like i've never known before.. hmmm.. i'm really girl crazy.....
feeling:excited
School reopens tomorrow.. Man! I can hardly wait!! WEll, we got posted to JJC... Sq, Isaac, Mavis and I(and I heard Nianci and Anni too.. i'm not sure though)
Anyway, i've been put in a different group from all of them.. I heard Mavis and Sq are in the same family.. wow... Sian.. i'm all alone......
Sighs.. I guess what the future holds is uncertain.. difficult to anticipate.... Just trust God and see how it goes..... I'm still not sure whether or not to go to poly or jc.
Anyway, seeya guys...(sniff.. i'm gonna miss YCS a lot......)
Feeling:ok
Well, it wasn't a waste attending Shu Yee's wedding after all.. I am one person who particularly dislikes attending wedding ceremonies because of the long, draggy waits(for people to arrive). However, what the preacher said on the pulpit as exhortation really touched me...
Like he said, God honours your likes and your dislikes. The perfect one meant for you will not be someone you don't like. The one He chooses for you will definitely be one you will share the rest of your life with, more so without regrets.
Well, for all those who have failed in courtship out there, haha... he has a word of encouragement; better fail in courtship than fail in marriage.. Well, this really is meaningful. Its better to break up while you still can, rather than drag thro the marriage (which means you have to endure your spouse for, what,? 40 years or so?)
A word of advice also, for those dating. Think carefully before you actually go into the marriage. Do not enter it haphazardly...
Hmm.. at least, I gained something in exchange for the hoooorrriiibbbllleee waiting... hehee..
