School ended at 1.35pm today and I studied from 2pm to 6pm doing tons of Chemistry essay questions as well as fine-tune my essay. Hope everything goes well and everything will pay off. Who knows?

Today’s been a Monday Blues day for me because of many many reasons. LOL I cannot even describe/explain this phenomenon.

Anywayz… Cya guys around soon.

Ahh, those carefree days of band. I now finally realise how life was so great then. I have taken too many things for granted. Does this mean I’m experiencing retribution? Haha..

I miss band life; but on the bright side, I’m going back to West Winds soon.

p.s Michael Buble’s CD is really not bad at all

We had a family outing yesterday; it was my Grandfather’s birthday! It was really great. Firstly, we went to Riverview Hotel for lunch.. It was a bountiful buffet meal! The sashimi wasn’t tooo bad and the cakes were good. Ohh the main food were really quite delicious. Second time there…

The picture above actually shows the different angles of Singapore River! Wowww didn’t know my photography skills were actually this good (HAHA) and that Singapore still holds such monuments! Really not bad eh..

 Look at these pictures. So cute, my littlest cousin hehe… My grandparents!! I’ve never ever taken ‘nice’ pictures before with them so they hold quite dear in my heart!! My family loitered around the Singapore River and even Mum and Dad were fondling with their handphones, taking some pictures. Hahaha so crazy.

We took some bus and then we ended up at the Singapore Art Museum. I think I have always wanted to go see what’s there and I was pleasantly surprised!! There were soooo many youths but maybe it was just because there was a very youthful ‘buy-and-sell’ activity there. I think youths who made their own jewelry as well as clothes and other accessories went there to sell them. Quite exquisite, some of them! Too bad they required tickets to go into the real galleries. So sad; they looked so magnificent…

We went off to the KFC @ Bugis.. Whoaa we sinned on some fried chicken but as everyone would self-pity and self-assure themselves, they use ‘Aiya, once in a blue moon…’ Yea right, blue moon!

So anyway, we went out for almosttt 12 hours straight! I’ve never had a more pleasant day. Everything went well except during the bus ride, Bro got especially terrorised and angry about some young man playing hokkien songs on the bus. He exploded and it got almost unbearable! Scary.!

So yea, the day ended really, realllyyy well! But I slept on the almost-45 minute bus trip home and my neck hurt. HAhaha…

*****

Some pictures I actually found and didn’t get to post…

Was actually playing with Hui Wen’s phone hahaha… I must have been weird that day.

This is the weirdest one ever.. Hahah I think it’s from my phone during band camp. I was warping my face using the FaceWarp but I thought the normal looked most normal.. Hahaha

And I love the new look of recycle bins. Found them at the airport. Haha whoaa it looks so rich with material wastage!! Hahahaha…

*****

Finished reading David Pelzer’s ‘A Man Called Dave’ yesterday. One word: WOW. But I didn’t read the ending; it was tooooo long winded.

Anyway, I really like how he wrote this:

 To me, everything was either right or wrong. If I saw a problem, rather than brush it aside, hoping that it would simply disappear, I addressed the situation head-on. At the same time I’d made sure I did all that I could to prevent the problem from occuring again. To me, those who kept sweeping their problem under the rug were fooling themselves. A serious, unsolved issue would sooner or later suck a person into a black hole. That was one of the lessons I had learned from living with Mother.

To me, that was totally wow. Though I may have heard of it before, it just simply complies to what I think.. Haha anywayz.

Cya guys, another tough week ahead!

HAAAAA The orals are over!!! My goodness, in a way it was unexpectedly a topic we have done before. Which is cool, but so long ago, luckily I remember some points! Anyway, my expressions sucked big time I guess haha…

Anyway, yes I hope I can get a decent grade that I need not take Chinese ever!!!!! hahahahaha… anywayz.

It’s been really draining, the whole week!! But I guess this is inevitable. Everyone says the O Levels carve our life paths. I wonder. (Can we use our tools of humanities to get the answer?? [reliability, inference..])

So this whole week’s been jam packed with lots of writing and chinese. Hope I can really do fine.

With lots of homework given (Not LOTSSS just lots of writing.. It’s actually crazy. Crazier than more homework sometimes.), with the Orals in my way this week, with the photo-taking yesterday, with the stress of doing well, with the pressure of being the first person to start the orals. It never ends.

The physical, mental and emotional drain is great. I can hardly keep up with time! I think. But I guess I’m doing fine coping with them. School’s been fine today, just that MEP killed with a 4-half hour session. Luckily I had the headache after class at 7.15PM because it would really be a burden to me. Yess, I’ve been getting headaches so regularly it must be the new week at school. Wait, is this week one?? It is?! Oh man.

So the headaches feel like brainfreeze. I breath in and my head hurts so bad.. I wonder why hahahaha..

And then with the already-dead me, now I face writing 3 humans essays and one whole picture discussion for English to be handed in tomorrow. In addition, I’ve to face a few compositions tomorrow. It’s a goal.

I’m dying!

Number one, I’m dying of tiredness.

Number two, I think it is totally absurd cramming so much English information into my brains. I have been doing English for a straight full week, sleeping at 3am and 1am on Saturday and Sunday respectively. My goodness, I still have to complete some TYS exercise as well as come up with 5 storylines.

I can now imagine if I go into the field of English Language. Wow. Gotta love it

Number three, Superband’s standard is yuck. For today maybe. The judgese are too, Too, TOO kind!! Errr…

Number four, this migraine’s killing me.

Oh life…
Day one ‘rocked’ my socks with lots of English and thought processing.

Yummy.

Pardon me, I love Nasi Briyani but I absolutely detest the particular herb used in it!! I do not know which one, but somehow I never fail to bite on it! Not that I’ve bitten on it recently or what, but my house lurks that smell! Somewhere, somehow, it exists! :O

Doing my summaries! I’ve actually successfully done the answering part for all my comprehensions! Woops, there’s still the Titanic one.. But yea I consider those done! Gotta do the Titanic one tomorrow together with the summaries! I’m actually underlining all the points now.. Hope to do them ASAP.

I’m caught in a dilema because I’ve come back to Earth after forgetting to think about many bad things in life. Haha impossibly, I did that! Whoa..

Well you see, it’s just this whole identity thing. It’s fun to be a rebel, a one who hecks his studies and a one who really lives a life. Not being wtih them makes me look just like an outcast.

But also, it is the greatest thing excelling in everything I do – Studies, Music etc etc… An academically and logically proficient young man.

But while writing those words, I’ve actually come to a conclusion. Be Who I Am.

Well, hopefully I know who I am in the first place.

If so, then the title holds no use at all.

(LOL what have I been writing?!)

Right now, back to work. (It’s over 2am! Oh my…)

p.s Plans for tomorrow is to study at 9am before heading for West Winds at 12pm (hope to reach at 2pm) to collect the CDs. I can’t wait.

Yes, Choir in the afternoon!

It’s tedious practising the Saxophone or even the piano.. It really is, I can’t deny it.

It’s amazing, though, how when I start to lay my hands on them, I can never stop.

So many things, when we think of wanting to do them, we end up not doing so because we feel that sudden rush of anxiety and laziness.

But when we start, we never stop.

This, to me, is a miracle which needs no further explanation. It’s called passion and yes, Music to me is one of the few things in my life when I start, I choose not to and I do not want to stop.

As much as practising the instrument can dawn on me and creep up on me with its power of tingling my scary bone, it becomes joy in the end.

I’ve got some new piano regimes.

Marvellous. I need projects on Saxophone too. Oh, I do.

Please give me the strength to carry out my Saxophone duties.
Thank you.

Sigh, it seems sooo long since I’ve last talked about quotes! Well.. Found this one which struck me alot:

“Your future is still before you. Your land is a vast storehouse of mineral and agricultural wealth awaiting further development for the benefit of mankind. Its potentialities are magnificent.“

Time will never wait for anyone. Everyone is a sinner, and one of the sins everyone will make would be to procrastinate! It’s one of the utmost sins which will never allow us to be the best of our capabilities! Agree?

Most of the time, our destination just lies ahead. But we never fail to give in to temptation and fall into a deeper sin of waiting and hoping. Why not just grab it?? Of course, it’s easier said than done. Especially when you’ve gone such a long way to meet our goals. But when it’s the last leg, clever people (who have been procrastinating too) will sprint and hit the target. And score! But most of the time (I guess), people just give up. Just like that. And then they retire after the hardwork, mourning and groaning about something they could have gotten but did not in the end. Why? Laziness.

There are things that we are so passionate about. That makes the potentialities bigger, makes the rewards better reaped. It makes us feel accomplished, powerful. Most importantly, worth it.

After a long and tiring race, or journey rather, it feels so good to succeed.

But, of course, does it always mean that working hard and pushing oneself so much would assure a supreme result, or even a satisfying one?

I know everyone knows the answer. But ponder about it.

So give it up now??? *wonders*…

MY reaction to that would be:
*perks up*
*think..is that a trick question?*
*oh my goodness I’ve known the answer all along?!*
*despise people who gave up*
finally, *pity them*.

Really quite hilarious:
1. Go to the gym with Christiana [Unchecked]
2. Go jogging [Unchecked]
3. Meet Fang Yin [Check]
4. Turn the excercise session into a talking session [checked]

Unbelievable. I even sinned on KFC!!! Darn…

[Was just browsing blogs and realised... So many people's got emo songs on their blogs!! oh oh..]

Anyway, so we had a good chat until like.. 1130pm. Could have stayed longer but I told her some ghost stories in my school and then we were both a little afraid and I had to walk her home soooo and I didn’t want to reach home at midnight.. Hahaha at that time, there was no other better options. LOL I had to walk her right up to her 11th floor apartment and then watch her go into her house… I guess not just ‘a little afraid’ HAHAa…

We had a really good talk. But it was all focussed on getting what we want for the ‘O’s.. It is that important to us!! To many too, but definitely us also. Were talking about DSA… At that point, I really realised the importance. Also talked about our choice to scrap through DSA (if we were accepted) or not if we get like close to 20 points. But I told myself that LOL I’ve managed 11 points before.. So why think about something above that! I was quite afraid. What if I really didn’t do too well? Day I got 19 points. Should I still go into the JC in which accepted me? I do not know. I keep telling myself not to think so much but definitely, who can help it? Our minds are our worst enemies. Though part of us, but we can never control them. They are the ultimates.

We both had the same sentiments. I’d feel useless and unworthy of the JC if I scrapped through with a close-to-20-pointer. Maybe I may choose to still enter it, since you know, the criteria is below 20 points. But I’d feel so… I don’t know. DUH right, if I got those marks. It’s just self-expectations.

And I expect myself to hit my target of a single digit. I am capable of it, I know it!!!

I’ve just got to work hard and bank in on the subjects I think I can really cope and rely on.

I pray I have the strength and the willpower. Psychological resilience must now really kick in.

Study group with H²MW is amazing. The most productive (omg I spelled it ‘reproductive’) study group yet! Because we tend to do the same subjects and help out each other. Well I’m the one who needs help the most most of the time hahaha… But it’s good!!! Can learn more.. HEhe

Gonna go out with them again to study! Just hope I won’t indulge on Macs everyday hahaha… Yesterday was bad, had a double cheese and an apple pie with a large cup of green tea (forgivable??) hahaha… My goodness.

Help me!!

7 more comprehensions, 3 more essays to work on. It’s great, must tell myself I love English more and more… Hahahaha… AND A MATH. I’m worried.

LOL Going to gym with Christiana soon… Managed to complete my Chem worksheet OMG!! LOLLLL Not quite actually but haha actually it’s fine lah.. 2 more Questions but I’ll just go to school to ponder about the other 2 questions hehe…

Meeting Fang Yin later on for a slow jog. I’m sure it’ll turn into a… Talking session hahaha

Ciaoz

HAHA I got my WIRELESS@SG registered! Hha at Macs now.. So happy. RIGHT. Back to work!
