Anticipation
O level results NEXT MON!!! 2 months already gone *whooosh* ..... Can't believe how fast time flies.
I am really nervous about my results. As the O level results are coming, I feel that a part of me is going to be left behind--- my childhood, memories and friends.
The first 3 months in AJ is wonderful. ( lectures sux, though ) Wish that things could stay the same as it is now, no change, no painful farewells, just as it is now. The feeling is like, when I just finished secondary school. Everyone in my class parted ways, each pursuing their own dreams and aspirations. The days will never be the same anymore. All the joys, laughter and sorrow that we shared together had come to an end. Friends will just be memories.
Now, it is just the same. Everyone going to follow different paths, without knowing what lies ahead for each one of us and our friends. The memories of the happy moments we shared together will diminish over time and soon be forgotten. Though it has only been 2 months, I feel strongly bonded to the class, to everyone that makes up the class (13-05) Wish there would be more time for us to spend the last few moments together, enjoys each other's company before the feeling fades away.
My OG also has helped me a lot. Though it has only been a week ( and most of us has forgotten one another ), the time we spent and the memories we shared will always be treasured and remembered.
Enough of the lamentations. Basically, PE sux and lectures are boring ( I feel that I keep repeating this sentence every friday, so basically fridays sux ). Kenneth Foo chrashed AJ today but didn't see him. Shit!!! I pontang quite a few lessons ( civics and PW ) also.
I bought BoA's compilation "Best of Souls". YAY!!! Been waiting for her compilations and it finally came. BoA rawks!!!
Went home for a while and napped. Then went to cut hair. ( Ok Hanting, I have done somthing abt my hair, so don't complain. I have tried my best....).
Along the way, I saw a Dead or Alive figurine being displayed. The design is so beautiful and life-like. I like the character's posture also. Feel like owning it, but it cost $145. AAARGHH!!!
Yupz...That's all for today. I think I'll end off by wishing you all good luck for O level results next monday. No matter the outcome, stay happy and God bless you always. There is always hope. ^^ Anyway, I look forward to 4-1 class meeting next monday during announcement of results.
My Daily Bread:
Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your request to God.
And the peace of God,
which transcends all understanding
will guard your hearts
and your minds in Christ Jesus

Family Day
Whoohoo!!! After 1 whole week of preparations by my class, it's Family Day!!!
Came to school at 8, and the place is already full of ppl. My class' stall is already set up. WOW! I am impressed by my class' efficiency.
I am also impressed by the stupidity of the councillors. First activity of the day is a DANCE which we did 2 months ago during orientation. How the hell are we supposed to remember every steps. Worse still, we did it in the field. SO DAMN HOT!!!
End product: mass stoning! Haha! Even the councillors are hesitating with their moves. Good Job.
I realised that the carnival is not open to the public, just for AJ ppl and their family. Another brilliant idea. Spend so much funds to set up such big carnival, and not letting the public ppl in. So, basically, we were just rotating the funds around the school, more or less. HA!
My class did a game stall called "Touch Me If You Dare". The player is supposed to guess the item inside a box by feeling it with his hands, without looking at it. We spent so much % of our budget buying prizes, but came out with easily-guessable items. Once again, lack of planning. So, our expensive prizes were soon swiped away. In the end, me, myself and I have to come up with something harder to guess. Mashed marshmallow with egg yolk. Dough mixed with squashed tomato. And my masterpiece: Sponges marinated in tomato juice, egg yolk, seaweed, and mud. YUCKS!!!
I also pity the class' walking advertisement. Wearing the advertising board that wrote "Touch Me If You Dare". He got touched and harassed by ppl everywhere he goes.
Clement's stage performance. WOW!!! Super nice! The crowd is very wild, singing along, jumping, screaming, shrieking, whatever... He sang 5 songs consecutively. The singers that sang after him were totally thrashed, burnt to ashes and thrown backstage to rot.Yupz, literally.
I went to try out the hounted house. SO FUN!!! and Scary! A whole block dedicated to haunting. 3 classrooms joined together to form a haunted maze, then extend up to the next floor, another 3 classroom. The place was dark and cold with eerie music playing. Took around 15 mins to go through the whole thing. A lot of bloody ghosts, zombie along the way, chased around the maze by knife-weilding CLOWN. All are so well-made and played that the whole thing was perfectly scary.
However, the fun part was not the scariness of it. It is- US!!! We screamed, shrieked, yelled, wailed A.loud.A.P. every single step, throughout the whole thing, from start to end. Purposely, just for the fun of it. Heard that some of the "ghost" can't take our screaming, got scared and ran away from the room. When we finished, we got scolded. Haha. But who cares, we had fun. We spend the money for the fun of it.
NUS research today was canceled. YAY!!! But I still have to go for scouts back in Cat High. Nothing much happening in scouts today. We sawed and chopped woods for the campfire firewoods. Then build a 5m structure and tear it down. Go home.
My Daily Bread:
God has given us eternal life,
and this life is in His Son.
He who has the Son has life;
he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Valenti
So long nvr blogged. This week is so shittiful. Tutorials overload and tests, so can't find time to blog. I have been falling asleep at 9 everday this week. Tired of all the shits I have been given. So, I juz summarise the things that happened this week.
Monday
Valentine's Day. My First Valentine!!! Nvr had that B4 in Cat High. Everyone is so in the mood for Valentine. The girls in my class was so "romantic". Uugh!!! Wrong word to choose. Sending flowers and chocolates to the boys. Then act cute for the rest of the day. >_<''' I gave a valentine present for my mortal ( solo male valentiner in class). My mortal's reaction was a bit exaggerated than I had expected. Nvm, dun wish to talk about it. Bad thing is my mortal found out I am her angel, which hath brought forth many misery for the week. I joined AJ fellowship for the first time. They were like, WOW!!! So enthusiastic and faithful. So ppl, come and join us.
Tuesday
Longest day of the week, with the most shit, ending with an afternoon PE. My angel and my mortal gave me valentine gift. I'm sooo touched. Then went to Causeway Point to buy prizes for the Family Day. We spend so much for the prizes. BUDGET!!!And all we bought are stuffed soft toys. Weird choices by the girls. Only want to buy cute stuffs for them to act cute. Bought nothing worthy for boys. AARRGH!!! Went home at 10, then ZZZZzzzz-ed A.S.A.P.
Wednesday
Nothing to bull-shit about. Project Eureka (my science-research CCA) started to get fun. Paired up with Darren Tay and did a super-chim stuff that I myself dun understand a shit about it.
Thursday(today)
The class stayed back to prepare the decorations for Family Day after school. I painted the banners and stuff. Class-bonding. Yay!!! Finally.... Went home quite late oso.
My Daily Bread:
Love is Patient, Love is Kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self seeking,
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trust,
always hopes, always persevers.
Love never fails.

Birthday Party
PE today, as usual, ummm.... SUX! ya. PE rep pontang school and i tio sabo-ed to take over >_<. Basically we did the same thing as last week. And by the end of the lesson, I was hyperventilating. Just imagine Britney Spears singing " I am a slave 4 you" after running 10 rounds around the track. ( at the chorus part she was hyperventilating)
Lectures+Tutorials = Boredom+Xian+Sleepy
Then, come to the fun part of the day. It's Justin's birthday party. Yay!!! Reached there by 4 and we started playing PS, while waiting for more ppl to come. I got an Omega-level shock when I saw 2 of my old friends, Charissa and Veronica (their names rhyme), and started hyperventilating again. Apparently I have lost contact with them. Never expected them to know my cousin Justin. It's a so-damn-small world after all.
I also met up with a few Catholic High friends, Jerrick, Daniel, and Yang Bing. Camillus, Chen Ting and Mrs Angelin Tay were absent. It is so nice to see them again. At night, we all sat around a candle-lit table in his garden and talked about our life and our school. ( I got nothing to talk about AJ. AJ is boring). After that, we all gathered at the living room for the official party and watched "White Chicks". Sadly, there is no tau-pok session.
The crowd left by 11. I stayed over at Justin house. The End.
My Daily Bread:
I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,
for it is the power of God to salvation for anyone who believes.

Alma Mater
I woke up from my bed, feeling exhilarated. It is New Year's Eve!!! ( I always preferred New Year's Eve than New Year itself)
I went to school earlier than usual, meeting my friends to plan the activity for today's class outing. Some said that we are going to watch constantine together as a class, but I am watching it with my OG on Sat.... Still, I dun mind watching it twice, as long as I can spend my day as a class.
The New Year celebration today was SUPER BORING!!! We had to cramp together for 3 hours( Wow! I can't believe it is so long). The ass and the knee I hurt on Sunday made sitting down on the hard floor for 3 hours uncomfortable and unbearable. Then comes the part for the result of the class decoration competition. I could just picture our class getting called out and Li Heng going out proudly to the stage to shake hand and receive the prize, while our class is clapping happily. But, nothing happened. Li Heng is rotting on his corner, with eyes closed( literally thats how I saw him then). The noise is coming from the other parts of the hall and not from our class. Dissappointment...
Then come to the part of the day where I have been dying. The AJ cat highs went together to our Alma Mater, singing school cheers along the way. The path to Cat High brings back many fond memories. * sigh.... sniff sniff*
As I stepped into the compound, the sun shone, the birds sang, the breeze flowed gently, caressing my nostalgic heart. ( so narrative, actually the birds didn't sing, it's the crows cawwed, but put it that way to make the event more beautiful)
I went to the canteen, and I met with a few of my old teachers, Mr Toh and Ms Chan. We talked together happily about JC life and stuffs like that. Outside the canteen, the area is packed with people. They are wearing HOME CLOTHES. ( shit AJ, dun allow us to wear free clothings) Anyway, there are many booths that sell handicrafts, such as mask painting, calligraphy painting, etc, that were specially invited by hak boon (our principal) to showcase their talents and sell their products.
The students now have to go for assembly. I joined them and the programme was extremely FUN, trashes AJ's. I greeting some old teachers, namely Mrs Toh and Mrs Chung.
By 12 noon, most of my friends have arrived. In the end, only about 5 ppl watch the movie. Marcus ng, Mervyn, Chang and me went off to play pool. When I reached there, the stupid aunty chased me out for wearing school pants. My friend argued for 5 min, then I decided to go home. Not wanting to spoil their mood, I told them to play on without me. So i went home ALONE. (The crows cawwed louder) The school outing turned out to be so unpleasant. Disappointment.......
My family then went for dinner in Thai Village at Goodwood Park. ( well, my parents are in indonesia, so my current family is my gandparents, my uncle and my sis. The place was overflowing with ppl. We had to wait for nearly an hour to find vacancies. During that time, my uncle lectured me about the importance of taking Economics. He seemed to be knowledgeable about business and stuff (he is the vice-pres. for philips).
Finally I got a seat. And guess what! My cat high junior was sitting at the table next to me. His name is Nicholas Tong. We used to take the same school bus together, but apparently, he FORGOT who am I. I wished him and his family happy new year. His father is a very nice person. He wished me and my family back.
We waited another 1 hour for the food to come. We had shark fin soup, crab, abalone, chicken, prawns and steamed fish. ^-^ It has been quite a while since I tasted such delicacies. The dinner costs more than $400. GAACKK!!!
When I got home, I was so tired and sleepy that I jumped straight for the bed, without changing or brushing my teeth ( Yes, YUCKS). The next thing I knew when I woke up, It was already 5 o'clock. I MISS THE COUNTDOWN, NOOoooo0000......
In case u r wondering, I wrote this blog the next day at 5....
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Whooooo!!! Yay!!!
ZZZZZzzzzz

Ouch!!!
I went to church in the morning ( nothing much to talk about )
I went home after that ( oso nothing much to talk about)
Then I went to Pasir Ris for a soccer match in Siglap Secondary. ( Now I got a lot to talk about. Yay! ) Ya. Basically, I went to Pasir Ris MRT, arriving there 30 min late and the transport bus left already. Duh... So I went to bus interchange, and I dunno what bus to take. -_-'''( Why am I born so blur ) So I went to ask a store-owner about the school. But he just 'tao' me by giving me the 'be song' face, without even looking at me. Then before I could finish my sentence, he just said I dunno and walked away. WHAT THE HELL!!! I looked around for the map board, but dun hav. I called all my friends but none answered. I guess the game has started.
So i took 358 ( a townlink ) and searched around for the school. I went a long way for around 30 min, and before I knew it, I arrived back at the bus terminal -_-''' ( forget it. I dun feel like screaming ) I got down the bus, thinking I should give up and go home AND THERE IS THE MAP!!! 358 is the correct bus but should take the one that go to a different direction. I can't find the bus stop other than the previous one. So I went towards the far end of the terminal, and I see a long stretch of bus stops. Previously I thought the bend was a dead end or the toilet. There is 358, looking desolate and lonely.
I am already an hour late. I alighted one stop too early >_< , so I had to walk extra distance. Then I found the school. I looked through the fence at my friends playing the match against the school team, eager to go inside and kick the ball. Took me more than 5 min to find the entrance to the school. The gate is so damn small and insignificant. I am finally in the field, realising that the first half is already over. After apologizing to my friends and changing in a portable loo, I joined the second half. The opposing team is strong. We lost 5-1 to them. I play the defender. I was too enthu guarding my goal that I got rammed down 4 times AT THE EXACT SAME SPOT. OUCH!!!(x4) Another time I headbutted a flying ball with my NOSE. OUCH!!! again. But my friends complimented me for guarding the goal well. At least they did not manage to score any goals. By the end of the game, we lost 5-2 to them. My ass is bruised, my nose is in pain and my right knee was bleeding. After a brief farewell with the opposing team, I limped home with my friends.
On my way home on MRT, I met ZHi Hao. I Can't believe my luck....!!! He seemed to grown more thin. Sadly' he was alighting at the next stop, so i dun have the chance to talk with him. Maybe I wasn't so lucky at all.
My Daily Bread:
We know He lives in us and we live in Him,
Because He has given us of His spirit.
And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the saviour of the world.
If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God,
God lives in him and he in God.
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

Blemishes of The World
I finally get a tagboard.....!!!
A tribute to delfine for helping me. She's a nice gal ^^
As you can see from my title, my day today sux. Well, not totally. I went for ventures today at 12 noon. Fells great to be back and meet w many familiar faces..... ok ok with not-so-familiar faces, cuz i can't find most of my classmates, other than those who oso went for venturing. Shit the 5-day work week. Make us all suffer(maybe not all), especially me.
Our scouts troop is having a campfire on 19 Friday, and we already started making our preps. Not very sure on how the gateway and backdrop will look like, but my seniors promised us that this year we are building something different, not tower or bridges (so xian, everwhere also can find these. Towers, duh. Bridges, even the long gang oso hav one alike) . Shock and awe shalt befall upon thou whom set thy sights on the mighty structure. Cannot tell too much 'bout it as it will spoil the surprise. One thing for sure, it is going to be 6m high.(Reminder: it is NOT a tower)
So we set on building the basic structure. We made an arc and tripods with woods for an hour. An ARC using woods. Yupz, one long, curvy shit of woods tied together without any structural support except for guidelines. Omigosh!!! Then we make the curvy shit stand up on its ends, with the centre being 6m above ground.
The thing is I AM TAKING THE CENTRE GUIDELINE!!! So while the ppl around hold the base of the arc, I have to bear the greatest weight of the arc MYSELF!!! My gudeline was located at the C.G (centre of gravity) of the arc, which is made up of 9 woods tied together. >_< Luckily, there are 2 more guidelines beside me. So it wasn't so bad after all
Wishful thinking. I am wrong! My side guidelines soon left me and ran to the other side of the arc. So, while the arc and the side guidelines are exerting clocwise moment, I have to provide the clockwise moment MYSELF! x_x in order to mainain rotational equilibrium of the structure. And the best part: Holding it in position for >1.5 hours. (choke myself) No entertainment, no ppl to talk to(they are @ other side of the arc), standing alone at the centre of the deserting field under the unfriendly sun. HEEEGH!!! (unchoke myself)
We made it finally !!! we tied the arc to the tripod and i got to rest my bloody, rope-burned hand. ( surprised i can still type this blog). After admiring for barely 15 min and looking out for areas to improve again, the dreaded command came. " Ppl, gd job, now tear the whole thing down" ~ blipz~
Tearing the baby down is easy, physically but not mentally. It hurts! We build another different structure ( too chim for me to discribe ) and the cycle repeats. " I give you 15 min and i want the field to be clear." ~ blipz ~ ~ blipz ~
PS: Dear readers, if you dun understand a single thing above, dun panic. It's normal. All the terms are only familiar to the scouts and ventures. So just pretend u understand. Thnx
At the end of the day, i got nothing to make up for the hard work but blister-ry hands. By 8 am, I am sucked dry of my life energy. Totally bushed!!! We all went home after that, supporting one another along the way in case someone just drop dead. My journey on the MRT wasn't at all, ummm, pleasing.
I was in the MRT, packed to its last seat. I just hope that someone will give up their seat to me, instead, they give up their shit to me. Wishful thinking again.....
Standing in the middle of the empty space of the MRT, I am surrounded by weirdos. On my 9 o'clock. A chinese couple was doing the cuddly thingy. The man has tatoo on both of his hands and his neck. (Look more like severe burn marks. I am not suprised if he has eye tatoos on his buttocks.) He was squeezing his girlfriend towards the corner, making her eyes bulge and her hands waving frantically, begging for mercy. I stared at them hard, in case the court might need me as a witness for attempted murder.
At my 6 o'clock, an Indian couple doing the tellytubby big hug on each other, with hands groping each other's butt. UGGHHHH!!! Their backside were oscillating momentously from side to side, alternating their direction of motion with each other while clamping their fronts together. The female has greater frequency of oscillation but lss magnitude.
At my 2 o'clock, a malay couple were fumbling with each other's hands. The man is wearing a transparent( yupz! TRANSPARENT, not translucent) sleeveless shirt, or rather a singlet. And he already have a TODDLER. How can such weirdo father fathered such cute child..... tsk tsk.
And so, that's my journey home, witnessing the inter-racial forms of flirting. I am, again, in the centre. *sigh*
At home, I got thrashed by my mum for being home late ( 9 am)
Then, my sis came towards me and brandished her latest CD collection. She just bought
1) Final Fantasy X Original Soundtrack : $89.00
2) Ayumi Hamasaki Ballads : 18.90
3) Ayumi Hamasaki My Story : $20.95
Grand Total : $ 129.75
~~ faint ~~
That's the problem with my sis. Can't spend money wisely. Once she saved enough, splurging is inevitable. But oso can't blame her. She has not bought anything for ages. And now that all her desires has just exploded, she felt happy. Hahaz....
Haven't been diligent lately....*worried* Must start mugging tomorrow....
I still need help in
1) Uploading songs
2) Uploading Pictures
3) Setting up my archive
4) Displaying my blog title
so for those experts who has the will to help me, please do so willingly and you shall be greatly rewarded with my grateful thanks.
Another PS: My blog today might give the impression that i am a pessimist. But I AM NOT. I am an optimist who sees things 'optimistically'(is there such word) .

Freaky Friday
I need HELP!!! My blog is still lacking of many fuctions:-
1) Tagboard
2) Personal Profile
3) Archive
4) Songs
5) Pictures
AARGH!
Ya. Today is a downright 'sway' day. Getting only a 2 hours sleep yesterday, i was obsessed with setting up a blog account My lack of sleep nearly killed me. Early morning I walked across the road without looking at the traffic light. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT !? ( slap myself 3 times) The taxi honked at me and, lucky enough , i managed to jump aside. "Heeeng arh!*
Next is PE. I went to the track, feeling confident that i can clear the lessons easily. Then, the next thing that happened was 1 round warm up around the track, 9 pull ups, 20 minutes pumping, 20 starjump, 30 sit ups, 40 scissors and 4 rounds of sprinting within 6 mins, while the girls are SKIPPING ROPE. (><) Afterwards, i do not wish to relate. All I know is I crashed into a lot of ppl along my way back to class.
Lessons were boring, as usual. We need to finish up our class decorations as today is the judgement day. My class skipped project work lessons and persuaded our GP tutor to cancel the lesson( the boys acted cute towards the tutor. YUCKS!!!) so that we can have time for the decors.
In the end, the class looks stunningly sexy and seductive. The judges will CONFIRM be aroused by our PDG room, and give us high mark. ( It would be more sexy and seductive if we make the class lighting red. *sigh* ) I am sure we will win this time. ^^
PDG 13/05 rox!!! Everyone rox!!!
My Daily Bread:
O Lord, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!
Many are saying of me,
God will not deliver him
But you are shield around me,
O Lord; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.
To the Lord I cry aloud,
and he answers me from his holy hill.
I lie down and sleep;
I wake agoin, because the Lord sustain me.
I will not fear the tens of thousands
drawn up against me on every side.

Genesis
The Genesis of my blog account. Haha......
A tribute to keng wee who has helped greatly in this genesis (3 cheers)
Today was a tiring day. Lessons were excruciatingly painfully boring. My chinese teacher is unbelievable. Apparently since day one she called me with the wrong chinese name "shao lin" , before i finally enlightened her with the truth. The class laughed. HAHA!!! Then she kept rambling about the 12 chinese zodiac ( I bet she's either a snake or a dog/***ch) Sorry.
Being behind time in the CNY class decoration, the class was totally frantic about it. We stayed back after school to do the freaking decoration. I spent 2 hours drawing chicks, then making a collage of a volcano. I was proud of it, until ppl called it an octopus or a pine tree.
AARRGHH!!!
The class were co-operative and N2 (enthu) about it. Hallelujah! Before a J2 barged in, telling us that our class belonged to them *_* ...... " so sooli!! wi oready pooked te loom.... and wi cannot anihow cange te loketion or else wi will be screwed by te indian guard. So sooli... It's beyon aor kontlol"
AAARRRGGHHHH!!!!!
More bad news: My idea of making the class into red light district by covering the lamps with red plastic bags has been thrashed by the class.
AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! *_@
I joined a Christian fellowship group with a few AJCians. First time meeting with them and I was impressed with the members, especially Lionel who seems to have great faith in God. The fellowship group started this year with only 4 members ( I am one). We aim to strengthen our faith and serve the Lord more. I hope we can extend our reach within the college, binging the students together as God's ppl. May God help us with the evangelism.
