Jolena - Yep i did indicate my presence! Go check all your comments! Gaying is my speciality, sorry i cant stop that!
Hui Hui - Yep i do update when i feel like and have something to say. Thx for the concern for my illness. Regarding what happened, i know you ll understand.
Lois - Nah, Cedar is. They are bonded as a school. St. Margs is bonded by cliques. and yep, i m on the road to recovery.
Ds - One day, one fine day, and i hope that day when we see the sunset together, we ll be on that Cambodian beach you were talking about. I hope you are managing well on your own recently for OCIP, these are some things i cant help you if Ms Ye demands that you do it.
Mann - HELLO! you really do like giving nicknames to people huh!
WL - Downhill is more thrilling! Like on a slide. But if you go down too quickly, your butt will hurt, so i think we shld climb up instead!
Jocelyn - Haha yea. I m feeling better. Thanks!
Cassie - Nah, you did well, what matters is that you ve tried your best. Same goes for today.
Ying - It aint stupid answers, it s da truth! Haha yea and i admit your PW is worse off.
Sam - Yep, i m sure it ll be resolved. Thx for encouragement!
Weekends
I just wanna recover from this illness, finish everything that i need to and just sleep. Had a long sleep last night but was one of fragments. Fatigue s taking it s toll. Still tired. I m sort of looking forward to this coming week. EVERY DAY s something new.
Monday - LTA learning journey
Tuesday- Kueh Chang Chinese Cultural
Wednesday - Rapture
Thursday - Weng s farewell
Friday- THE MOST EXCITING - Parent Teacher Meeting
The most happening week ever, every day gonna be back home late. And the following week is test after test. Oh how screwed can i be.
Anyway back to the usual "WHAT I DID THIS WEEK LISTING"
Wednesday, hui hui s birthday. Sort of celebrated with a small cake lois bought and gave the present. It was just a mini celeb in a classroom.
Thursday, PE was soccer, played pretty well just that i scored an own goal. Deflected the ball past Tim when i misjudged and miskicked i think Gabriel s shot. Otherwise, i would say i did what i could to save my team defended and created chances. Linked quite well with some other class guy, Brandon. he s pretty good, nice late run to score from my corner. At least i m proud to say i passed to every team mate before but almost gave Jolena a concussion. haha. Sorry about that! Didnt see you coming.

>>> This is what i find in my phone when it s left to some one else s care.
Training after school was quite slack. Did exercises, lunges, squats, hamstring, crunches, core, and a bit of running. Training hard! Discussed about the farewell stuff till late.
Friday, even more slack. PE captains ball. Fun class time. Although i must say i m quite sick of always being the one jumping up and down. It s the most difficult job on the court. It s even more difficult than being a goalkeeper. Decisions have to be made within split seconds, whether to jump or not to jump whether to move or not to move whether to charge or not to charge. And the main thing is whether to go for it or not to go for it. There are shots that are impossible to save unless you get physical and really snatch the ball out of the captains hands. But you must risk injuring your self or the captain, that is the biggest decision to make, to concede or risk injury. There are so many times i just let my opponent score and feel bad about it but come to think of it, that s the right choice to make.
Anyway, i dun wanna be defender again!!
Had math remedial after sch at the canteen. It was a good session actually, good weather, good revision.
Left for Dhobby Ghaut after that. Went to zap up the last 2 best tics for The Dark Knight at the Cathay 8.30pm. Then walked around, had a light but expensive dinner. A hot dog that cost $5.80 and a Taiwan snack that cost $3.50. DAMN SCARY. Almost 10 bucks gone like that.
Migrated to Ben and Jerry s to do some Math before Ying Lun came and spent some 6 bucks on Waffle and ice cream. Saw Ian Chai there, changed a lot. Haha and i met Jason and Ms Tan too. I think some church outing and they watched the same movie as us.
.jpg)
>>> The Grand Cathay. Really gigantic.
The Dark Knight was good. It was just abit long, but other wise i find it really thrilling. It s a lot different from the first movie, this one s more realistic i would say. I think it s the setting. The first one was more of the Studio production. This one, they really acted out on real streets and there was more action. Joker was fantastic. Batman s voice was manipulated for sure. Harvey Dan is the most merciless one. And they shouldnt have changed Rachel to Princess Lea. Please, she doesnt suit this movie.
Saturday, CCAB. Not a good turn up rate. Only Wesley, Ryan, Ying, JJ, Ming, Me, Shawn, Jon Chen. But it was still pretty fun. Ball ramming was great. I felt so liberal for once in many months. Played average. But i m happy that i m calmer with the ball now and making lesser mistakes. Yay. Headers are getting better but still need to work on accuracy.
But i m disappointed. Why? Because i actually put sun block (FIRST TIME) before the session and i still got BURNT! argg. nvm, at least this time, everyone was burnt! haha!
Left the place for Holland V lunch with JJ, Ming and Ying.

>>> See, when my phone is left to the care of others, this is what i find in my Image Gallery. JJ and Ming, fun dudes.
Holland V Food Junction. Ate some black pepper beef rice that cost $5.30!!! plus drink $1.50. and more drinks at CCAB, omg i m really spending like mad. No good, i have to control the spending. Anw bridge session with the 3 was fun. Ming rocks to the core. Bussed to Dhobby Ghaut with him playing Worms on my phone. Fun time. Supposed to have PW but i didnt even know a thing. No time, no meeting place. Only about 3 plus then i realise it s national library and reached there about 5 plus. Whatever it is, it wasnt a good session. Back to work!
PW problem
When emotions are running high, when millions of thoughts are racing through the brain, when the heart is feeling so sore, when the eyes are filled with misery and perhaps anger, when the tongue lost it s ability to wag, when the ear distorts everything it receives...
THE BEST SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM IS TO JUST DO NOTHING.
Nothing. Simply nothing. Additional words could be the fuel to the fire. Attempts to resolve could escalate the problem. Whatever efforts would be just redundant. and i have to emphasize that this is at the spur of the moment.
It doesnt solve the problem totally, but it s the best alternative for the time being. It allows parties to cool down, think rationally, remove as much anger and resentment as possible, and a logical and practical solution will come eventually.
It may seem that i dun care, but what you see is not what you get. But dun worry something has to be done, i wont let this be a hindrance to our goal. It was a badly organised session, with no exact time and no precise objectives, we were just a headless chicken. Honestly, more need to be done individually before meeting, it is impossible to have 32 fingers and 8 thumbs on 1 keyboard. Better planning is needed considering time is an essence now.
No point playing the blame game now, but we all know who s the culprit. Roar! 'pridefully'

Troubled
I forgot the feeling of being sick since i havent fell ill since er.. early last year? still human afterall. no matter how much care you take, these things just strike.
and i hate the feeling of being sick, cant do anything properly, miss out on so much etc. must recover fast! sat CCAB!! finally, after so long.
i think the biggest thing bugging me now is track. till now i m not sure exactly what s the problem. whether i make it to exco? whether the people in the exco deserve it? whether track will improve with our batch? whether i should join Sprints instead and abandon Distance?
so many problems, and no answers.
i m sort of glad FPSP is taking the back seat for the time being. even though it s fun doing and i dun mind going for another competition. can we qualify?
PW, WR isnt that good, thousands of appendix. so what if we have 60 over pages, the real report aint much of substance, must really put in effort to think and type. Just rushed through the first draft. Still have so much to do, brochure, poster, video, transcipt, post survey, website.
OCIP, i m confident it ll go through with our back up plan. just the parents. coz with the back up, cost isnt a worry anymore. and please Thai troops, just get the hell out of there.
Bio field trip, i think i m not going definitely. with so many things going on at the same time, and the research thingy dun really appeal to me.
Work shadowing aka stalking, Gabs bugging me to submit the form with him, but with such disgusting CT results, i doubt they ll even look at the form. And it might clash with OCIP. no good.
Last but never least, academics. Bad, i m not on track.
Is my life really going downhill? that s another question to be answered.

Week 4
Last post on 6th July, and i forgot everything from then till 13th. All i know is that lessons started again and i got back my pathetic results. BUDUDE! Isnt it just brilliant?
Ok, i remember 12th is FPSP practice at Paya Lebar Singpost Macs. Fried my brain for neurotech, what an irony. After about 5 hours, we finally left the place in Ms Ye s car to Bedok Botak Jones. Had fish and chips which i think i tried before, just couldnt remember. It was pretty good.
13th, PW meeting at 2pm.

Where else but national library? Did work from 2 plus to 6. what an achievement! Just sat at the level 5 lobby, plug in the powerpoint and had a productive session with some food. It was FIFA after that even after being chased away from the area. Went to Hans to continue and ate some fries Hui hui bought. And we went back again when the battery went flat. Fifa is plain fun and addictive, because i scored with a keeper again!! woohoo. What an achievement huh!
Monday, nothing much, can only remember training. Trained core and did 10X 50m lunges. Ached for the next 3 days, if you noticed, i ve been walking in a strange manner and having problems standing and sitting down. I guess i m having a preview of old age.
Tuesday, many people absent, Ms Ye too. So, no PW consultation. Cant remember what i did after that. Memory s really failing me. : (
Wednesday, National Track and Field Finals! Went to CCK stadium to have a taste of real competition. Really exciting. Had discussion for J2 farewell with ying lun and shawn while guan ming was starving badly. He simply cant take any hardships. Had Macs at Lim bang to fill my stomach slightly and had a long trip home again from CCK.
C div girls 4 x 100m.

>>> SJI! Won B div 4 x 100m! Great job.
.jpg)
.jpg)
>>> Cedar, probably the most bonded girls school
Thursday, Chinese A level listening compre. Was quite ok, probably got 1 qn wrong. Continued discussion for the track tee followed by training. Ok, honestly i felt a strong sense of achivement to complete 21 TWENTY-ONE rounds in 45 FOURTY-FIVE minutes. it was actually 20 rounds in 41 min, coz walked the extra round to cool down. Thanks monique, if not i would have given up long ago. great run. finished up core, discussed with lois about the class outing and went home dead beat.
Friday, highlight of the week. Commendation at St. Andrew s Cathedral. Yong Pin and Wei Li officially became councillors. Flew off to Dhobby Ghaut to prepare for July kiddos birthday celeb. Ran up and down plaza sing just to buy cake, get the paper plates, spoons, lighter and avoid the suspicion of the rest of the class. Thanks cassie and lois for helping out during the mad rush. Shouldnt buy ice cream cake next time!
Celebrated at Kopitiam, 3 candles, one for Vanessa, one for Hui Hui and one for Samantha. a bit lame huh. had lunch there and changed and went off to the Cathay to gather everyone again before setting off for paradiz. Pooled for 3 hours, inclusive of some bridging. Some started leaving and in the end only a few survivors went to plaza sing to have dinner and continued some bridging. Yong Pin wanted to do some shopping and only Gabs, Lois and me remained. Didnt buy anything in the end.
Saturday, FPSP Qualifying Round. Father dropped me at RGS and i went to Orchard to meet Tim and Wei Li. Waited for Yong Pin the latecomer as always at Yakun Kaya Toast Far East. Then left for RGS to meet Ms Ye, had a briefing and started at 11.

We started out pretty well, but took too much time for the challenges and had to complete 5 steps in 1 hour. Rushed for solutions and criteria. At least i completed my part but felt bad that i couldnt help yong pin with the criteria. i wasnt sure how to complete the sudoko. damn. should have at least read and know how to do. took a big risk. nevertheless, i completed the drawings though didnt label everything. overall, pretty acceptable outcome for a timed run.
Ms Ye treated us to lunch at Kallang Leisure Park (thanks again), the 99cents a plate sushi restauarant. Met some one there, had a quick lunch and rushed off to MJ with tim. Cabbed to pasir ris to catch the rockclimbing competition cassie was taking part in.
In the end it started late, and it poured, so we wasted our money cabbing. Waited about 3 hours before cassie climbed. Entertained myself with hp games, cards and a soccer match. I m amused by the way they played, despite the soaked pitched, they played passing calmly and had superb movement. There was always someone available to pass to. They never had to clear desperately. We must really learn to play like that.

>>> MJ s artifiicial pitch
After waiting for so long, the chairwoman finally climbed. (left)
.jpg)
Phone blacked out for no reason for the first climb, managed to only take a pic.
Videoed the second climb. (right)
It was a pretty good climb even though i know nothing much about rockclimbing. xD Yep anyway she got through to the last 16. Congratualations! Bowen slipped and couldnt get through. Nevermind, there s still a chance to be a sport in SA. Took a 39 to Tampines which was about an hour ride for 1 mrt stop. Amazing. The rest went to eat while i went home sweet home.
Chem class test coming up, tons of work to do, and i still wanna slack!!

4th July 2008, SAJC COLLEGE DAY!
One of the best days so far this year!
Ass nineteeners were selling SaintsWay Sandwiches, went early to help out abit, set up stall, then went on a mini campaign to help Gabriel with his SaintsIdol compt. Lois sneaked a bouquet of flowers to Ying Lun and passed to me so safeguard to avoid Gabs suspiscion. The campaign started with the bo liao guys of S19 walking around like fools with a sandwich! haha. Cassie was dressed up as a 'mascot' to advertise for Saintsway. My duty was to hold GABRIEL up right till my hand ran out of blood supply. (GABRIEL the placard) Ok cut the crap.. so we just cheered for him while Cassie ran on stage after his How to Save a Life and gave him the flowers, at the same time snatch the mic and advertise for Saintsway. FULL marks for Bravery!
The sandwiches were sold at a pretty good rate, did my job to pull as many friends as possible. Yea, eventually ran out of friends to pull. Was walking past some some muffin selling stall and suddenly heard some one call my name. Realised it s some girl from the stall but i didnt know who was she! So i asked her whether i know her and she started saying some story which i couldnt hear clearly but i figured out something like PS, KC, and buy muffins. Could it be YPS? Katong Convent? And buy their muffins? (obviously) I was so confused and was in a rush to do something so i just said ok ok, buy later. Whoa since when i have a friend from YPS in SAJC?? Better ask clearly next time!
Friends patronise my class stall, of course must return the favour rite, went around to present my consumerism skills and ran errands for busy classmates. Frequent the dunking machine a few times (they made a loss! subnormal profit) and Ying Lun called me to go play Xbox. FIFA 08!!!! Yea, played against Wei Shin, hockey guy from SJI and his friend. 2 vs 2. Didnt know how to use the controls and wasnt used to it and conceded a stupid goal in the first few minutes when Ying Lun and I clashed. After that, equalised 1-1, and led 2-1. Till 80 plus minutes, conceded another stupid goal. 2-2 extra time. Our team chemistry payed off, plus Barca vs Man u, compensated with so many one on one misses, and scored the decisive goal to win 3-2 after extra time. Really thrilling, Ying, we rock!!
Went back to stall and realised it s closing shop ald, Saints Idol over, Anthony Lee won, the one Yong Pin hates to the core. Gabs got some award, and some of us went back to play Xbox since we had some spare cash. Cassie, Yong Pin, and Gabs played Xbox Halo 3 while me, Tim, Jolena and Lois played Wii boxing. Quite fun but retarded. Xbox was more worth the money.
Played cards with Woei Xin, Gabs and Lois at the gallery after that while cassie and timo went to climb (again), yong pin and jolena had cca. Bridge wasnt good for me that day. The number cards loved me especially the DEEs, should really have played Dai Dee instead. Started out well but was on a losing streak towards the end. Went to Physio after that at SAS to settle my shin splint problem. Pain s still there but she said i can go back to run soon ald. Yay!
Went out with family to have dinner at Ngee Ann Alumni Club, pretty good food! Cheap and good, like some country club, but it s just a part of a polytechnic. Went to Sunset Way for Cold Storage and also some ice cream, (forgot the name ald). Suppose to be good, but i find it just average. Cookie Dough still da BEST!
5 July 2008, ANNUAL PARADE!
Met up for FPSP at Paya Lebar Sing Post with Ms Ye and gang. Had some brain exercises for 3 hours plus and left for SJI AP with Yong Pin and Tim.

>>> Brilliant sun set similar to every year. Some F16s flew by as well, of course for NDP rehearsal and not for us.
MARCH PAST!!!
Standard dropped from last year, but still the normal parts did well, only the new and unfamiliar ones were not good.
.jpg)
>>> Flag lowering and bye bye current CSMs
Went to Parade Square for the traditional crazy post AP session. Yup and my camera got lousier and lousier as the sun disappears.

>>> Matthew being taupoked and raped by Part As 07! And while i was laughing at him, taking this pic, it s my turn...
And they piled, piled, piled and PILED. Almost died! Couldnt breathe and the weight was killing me, rib cage gonna crash, chicken wings gonna come out from every where possible. TAUPOKs are dangerous!

>>> Matthew the gay and me. Post taupok.

>>> Tim s band had some ritual thing. in short, it s YAM SENG!
Left SJI at 8 plus and went to Paradiz for pool with Ying Lun, Zi Xiang, Jasper, Sebby and Heng
Khit.

>>> Playing against slut the pro.

>>> Ying Lun in his glorious moments.
This is what happens when you leave your phone unattended to bored friends.
It isnt that bad after all, as long as they take appropriate pics.

And videos...

>>> Ying in his not so glorious moments, stealing my hobby of stoning.
Left soon after about 10 plus and had a long journey home. Splendid day! and now, back to homework which i havent touched for a month.

Mood to Blog
Ok the scene was the CC, and Ms Wong was releasing the Econs results, and then there was this funny way of releasing the results, she ll read out those failures' names and they had to stay back right after to take a RETEST!!! lol. So, everyone was so tensed up causing a commotion and then she said there s only 20 plus failures in the whole cohort. So she read the names out one by one and they had to sit a side to be prepared for a retest immediately.
What can i say about this? It s just surreal, and SO REAL. Everything was like 3D and there was even echos, haha! So she read out the names one by one until the last one, there was a pause, and obviously you should be able to guess, it s ME, (if not i blog for what). Yea, and i was so stunned and shocked, but reluctantly walked to join the other 20 plus people and get ready for the retest. I was thinking omg, 3 Us, i m so screwed. Luckily i woke up and my misery ended. Really relieved.
But it was back to reality, and had to read up on Neurotech for FPSP. Stared at the screen at 5plus am isnt easy, stoned there for a few times, reading the same line over and over again. Went to sch, bio lect, and we all went to the kitchen, to cook pasta and also help out for jolena s group and college day. Yep, it was fun and relaxing. Was suppose to have FPSP but i think Ms Ye just threw it aside and decided to do some class bonding.
Ok, what did i do ...? Wash dishes, outline the big board, the poster, help out with the EV club flowers, cut cut cut, tie tie tie, pricked pricked pricked by thorns. haha left a drop of blood stain on a ribbon on a bouquet, you ll be so blessed to buy that one! helped out slightly with the sandwich costume as well, it s gonna be cool. Lectures were boring, GP just trying to copy whatever is there as fast as possible. PW was just stoning. College day tml! Gabs gonna sing, we gonna sell, it s gonna be fun!

Post common test
The past weeks were quite a disaster actually. Supposedly intense mugging but i was quite easily distracted with the TV on and the com just within reach. Honestly all i managed to do during the hols was to do some Chinese, read some chapters of bio textbook, revised Chem and Math.
I didnt know what to do for GP, how to prepare for it, or what homework is there. Missed the email that was sent. Only realised it the day before the paper. The paper was ok.. but i m not confident about it at all. Essay, wrote about whether youths today are more fortunate than youths in the past. The points were pretty easy and hardly used any 'bombastic' words. Just a simple essay. Paper 2 was quite confusing, wasted a lot of time on the first passage, trying to understand everything, and also wasted A LOT of time trying to think of alternative words to use, coz they say USE YOUR OWN WORDS. hate those 4 words.
Chinese, all i did was teng ye xian sheng the practices, still have a mountain of homework to complete. Overall chinese was quite ok for me, it s one of the only hopes for me.
Econs, mugged hard for Demand Supply Price, Elasticity. COP and PC read through and understood everything once but couldnt revise one last time before the exam. But luckily nothing came out for PC and COP only 1 6m qn. Managed to scribble some stuff, the rest were pretty good, but elasticity couldnt finish the essay, only managed to talk about PED, spent too much time on the definitions and stuff.
Chem, just a torture. I read through everything and mugged for topics from the start till chem bonding and then energetics and kinetics. It seems like i understood everything and memorised all the formulae and points one week before but i forgot EVERYTHING before the exam. I had to last minute pia the topics from scratch and try to remember the day before but nothing really went in, especially chem bonding. It was really a torture just to sit through the paper. I had hardly anything to write about in the structured questions segment. Coz all the info i had was in bits and pieces. As for the MCQs, i just have to blame myself for not practising chem much. No time to complete.
Math, was almost late for the paper. Honestly, i did not prepare much for math. All i did was to go through the lecture notes, memorise relavant stuff. And the best thing happened, i just went to sleep and slept for 12 hours till 10 am that morning and i realised i forgot everything AGAIN. All the formula and stuff, had to scramble to try remember and when i look through again, i found some questions i forgot how to do and attempted till no time and didnt finish looking through again, like modulus and graphs. dang. Anyway, i deserve to fail coz i didnt practise at all. Let Mr Tan down.
Bio, 8.30pm to 4.30am straight mugging. Miraculously i managed to cover everything except enzymes. And managed to REMEMBER. oh my. i really pushed my self for that. hopefully it ll yield some good results to compensate chem and math.
After the bio paper, went to kick ball at Potong Pasir Street soccer court. yong pin, wei li, zheng da, timothy, nicholas, jolena, samantha, while hui hui and pamela watched. Didnt play too well, expected, just finished exams, quite rusty. Then went to PS to eat BK, sat there chat, napped then left for training. Hardly did a thing, felt injury coming back.
Went home, Tim came, had dinner, did OCIP transcribing the interview. He stayed over, watched Euro 08 spain vs russia. 3-0. Went back to sleep for a few hours, had breakfast, left for AMK hub. Took cab coz will be too late if take train. Met the rest there and we went to some HDB flats to collect dictionaries, old textbooks and children s storybooks. Was sort of inspired by Cassie s enthusiasm considering that i was the zombie of the day, Tim was quite bad too! and went to every door, knocked, asked politely, and inject some energy into my speech despite having little for myself to last the day. So we collected and sorted out, while i stoned or went to La La land, waiting for the lorry to come. Loaded the stuff and off to Marymount Good Shepard. Lorry ride was fun. Reminds me of rollercoasters.
Unloaded the stuff, and left with Vanessa, Jocelyn and Jing yan since they had to go SMSS while i had to go to Borders to get a book for sis. Miss Orchard! The place i visited almost everyday after school for 4 years, now hardly. Argg.. feel like watching movie..
Saturday, met up with hui hui and yong pin supposedly to do hw but obviously failed. Jing yan suddenly showed up at Nat lib just when we were talking about her. Left the place to make it home for LOTR on TV. One of my movie favs. Gonna catch the last one this coming sat, ooops, recorded this time..
Sunday, cant remember what i did, but it s just slacking till Euro 08 final. Caught the 2nd half. Good match, Torres a gem. As usual zombie the next day, lecture time table, managed to stay awake though. Chionged OCIP stuff till 2am.
Today, settled some new PW stuff and going through phase 1 of ocip. advancing pretty well. PE was quite a failure, but still had some fun with the guys and woei xin the bb pro and the up and coming star pam. I know i suck at BB, but at least there s some improvement. Econs lect was just survey doing and hang man solving. Cassandra was too bored. and i stinked up the CC, all da way till chem. papers returned, screwed up big time. maths was worse but still, Ultramen are my friends for now. Soon they ll take off, soon.. i hope. oh and i hope they take away my burnt skin too. UV rays are cruel! ouch.
