ok. there's something wrong with stupid blogger. i've got a huge patch of brown colour now and it looks so damn irritating. bah.

anyway, i think my barber is the coolest barber in the world. oh wait. he's a hairstylist. kinda. but he owns a barber shop in hougang plaza near the lan shop there. my barber is like a playboy. all the malay girls, be it young or old can't seem to resist him. and there's this malay woman who always comes up during dinner to ask him what he wants for dinner and stuff like that. GOSH. what a flirt.

ok. nvm. i must thank him for my hair. it looks neat. X) ok. so today, we had paper reviews again. i know i've got 4 subjects secured to add to my L1R5, but i donno what i'll put for my last 2 subjects. which is scary. i do not want my marks to be pulled down cos of the other 2 subjects cos i'll be super disappointed if it does.

wee~ anyway, mary lee sent me an sms telling me i got A1 for chinese! i can hardly believe it considering i din study for it, merely jus flipped through the shou ce for about 2 hours and watching tv at the same time.

ok. so, today i ponned chinese paper review to join the non-chinese takers to go to dhoby ghaut to play xbox. so we kinda played truant and we saw farlow lowell, our school's renowned art teacher, on the mrt so we sort of freaked out cos we thought he saw us and he'll drag us back to school or something. hahaha. but its ok. cos he's also playing truant. never go work! COMPLAIN TO DR. ONG! haha.

played halo2, fifa street, burnout:revenge and nba 2006. halo 2 was a bitch. lost my touch after not playing the darn game for bout 3 months. it was sooo horrible. and then we switched games after 2 rounds. richard and i played fifa street. super funny. we played till the score was tied at 9-9 and then he won. poo.

then played burnout with dom then jerome. it was similar to the old version i think. and there was this segment where the aim was to cause as much damage as possible. i think keith would have owned everyone in that game. =x

played nba live with jerome. hahaa. the so-called "bball pro" could not let his fingers do the talking. managed to beat him by 1 point. 97-96. most dramatic moment was when he could have jus ran down the clock but he decided to action and i managed to steal the ball for a lay-up, winning the game. super funny.

BUT. undoubtedly, the funniest moment belongs to dom. ok. so richard and chen were playing nba live 2006 after i beat jerome. richard was holding quite a big lead before chen went on a scoring streak to lead by about 2 points. dom decided he had seen enough and played in the 4th quarter against chen. play and play until time left was 15 seconds. chen had possession. he was going to run the clock down since he had a 1 point lead. BUT, somehow, dom managed to steal it away from him. so we thought, WAH. DOM IS GONNA WIN! however, there was another twist to the plot. dom lost control of his fingers and he moved his player to the backcourt, causing backcourt violation.

it was like a 0.3 second moment of silence before laughter erupted. IT WAS SOO FUNNY. ultimate drama. oh. and i must thank the ah beng cashier at the xbox place cos he let me in even though i'm a week away from being 16. =)

so we had a late lunch cum dinner. the super indonesian stall at plaza sing's kopitiam. super nice man. grilled chicken. yummy. okk. i've gotta go for cell!

twist of fate

yesterday was a very very eventful day for me. i was practically out the whole day, having fun, chilling out. cool. i can foresee such days after the o's.

ok. i think my body system has been tuned, such that on sunday mornings, i'll wake up at 7.35am. but i din go for service cos i was too tired. haha. ok. so met richard and daniel before going to church for sunday school.

the funny thing was at the bus stop, we saw sandar(acl), jiawei and sebastian! they were supposed to be at service! haha! how ironic when sandar sent me a msg to go for P.U.S.H at 8.15am. hahahaha. oh well.

so we went for sunday school. sally din come today so we joined keith's class. after sunday school. we went for lunch at hougang before going to dota. we meaning jiawei, sebastian, daniel, richard and me. then we went to hougang plaza to dota. ohmyson. it was damn fun.

first round, i was on daniel and sebastian's team. we played ar and i got slayer. my gosh. it was horrible. even though we won as a team, daniel was getting all the kills and i was so upset with my inability to kill. how ironic when my character is called "slayer". =/ anyway, ended up with 2 kills only.

second round was better. this time it was jus me and daniel against richard, jiawei and sebastian. ar-ed and i got banehallow. i thought, geez, this will suck big time. but in the end, got MOM, 2 bashers and haha. basically two of us owned the other team. we ended up fighting with each other for kills! haha! yeah. oh well. it was fun.

then went home after that with richard cause dom and ben had not left their houses yet. ok. so later in the day, say about 530, we went to play soccer. it was quite fun. but we were quickly outnumbered. by 4 players! there was no way we would have won. jus imagine. i got past 2 players and wanted to shoot. guess what? 3 players stood in front of me. SHOOT WAD? SHOOT WAD?

oh well. but dom scored 2. ok, i've gotta give him credit for scoring 2 co one uncle was like pushing him around with his butt everytime he tries to get the ball. so yeah. but he could have jus shot himself if he din score at least one since he was in the other half of the field for the whole game. so yeah, good job dom.

ahh well. then we went for dinner at burger king. chilled and talked crap. haha. it was a wonderful day. chilling out, having fun.

ok. im taking time off sleeping to address some really urgent issues. which is really bugging me.

ok. its jus one really urgent issue. which is basically, the stereotypical viewpoints of other people from other schools. (refer to www.domataprom.blogspot.com)

yeah. if that looks url looks familiar, its dom's blog. apparently, there's this fuhua sec guy who claims that acsians are filthy, rich, show-offs, proud, arsholes, gays and only know how to break dance. ok. dom has made his points of all these listed already. so let me reemphasize his points. jus to make it crystal clear.

firstly. we're not filthy. in case you don know. acsi students are posers. they wanna look and smell good. they would rather be caught naked than wearing a torn and tattered shirt. we are squeaky clean people and yes. some are uber freaky cos of their high hygiene standards.

we are rich. ok. that's a really big misconception. there are people who come to school in vans. there are people who take public transport to school. my point is that, not everyone is rich in the school. and we don exactly approve of this impression we're giving to people. sure, we donate and make the headlines thanks to our very generous principal. but hey, it ain't our fault that our parents slog their guts out so they could give a good life for their kids right? and btw, dom im poorer than you. i've got $4 bucks in my wallet. so there, we ain't that rich after all.

proud.
wow. another misconception. as dom said, its a thin line between arrogance and self-confidence. sure, there are people who are arrogant in our school but the majority, and i mean a LARGE majority are not. we are fun-loving and crappy people. go ask the people who know us. we are NOT proud. we are taught to be self-confident.

arsholes.
firstly, its arseholes or assholes. not arsholes. as that fuhua guy spelt it. bah. nothing to say about that one. i don even know why we are assholes. sure, we talk crap. but we are not asspeople or anything. jus as dom aptly put it.

gays.
jus look at the numerous accusations of me being a flirt and please please read my previous post.

only know how to break dance.
i can't break dance.

so there you have it. and people do not call us a "farker school". and my gosh. its fucker not farker. oops. i cursed. but its jus what he said. merely repeating.

GOSH. THE SUDDEN PATRIOTISM.

wee! freedom! a brief respite. but some say if you can take the prelims, you can take the o's.

anyway, after chinese prelims today. went to meet ben, dom, richard, samuel, chen, jerome at the xbox place. those idiots were playing when i got there. saw shannon, keith, ashok, anjan, ivan, booby and kach over there as well. anyway, we went to the cinema to check the timings for the movie, a sound of thunder. then we made our way to lido instead to watch the earlier show.

ok. a sound of thunder is this really cool movie with a really cool plot but with horrible graphics and effects. basically, a time portal was invented by this smart ass old man with a cool goatie so that rich ass people could go back in time to hunt dinosaurs. the thing is, they cannot intefere with anything that happens and they can't step off the path designated for them. all these will affect the future and hence, the chaos theory and butterfly effect crap all comes into place.

ok. the thing is, this rich ass dude tried to kill this little harmless butterfly. and he accomplished that. hence, he disrupts nature. and things started to change. oh and the setting was the year 2055. then there all these futuristic cars they designed and i bet the actors acted behind green screens 3/4 of the time.

anyway, things started evolving. and trees were becoming so strong they broke walls. then there was this animal that was a cross between a baboon and a sabre tooth tiger. then there super huge bats that looked like that pokemon called golbat.

ok. it was happy ending, cos they somehow managed to create another time portal and go back in time to prevent that rich ass dude from stepping off the platform and killing the butterfly.

after that, we walked to orchard mrt then dom wanted to buy boots. so richard, samuel and i followed him to peninsula plaza to go see see, shop shop. but in the end, he din buy any boots. ok. so we walked to the food junction at funan to look for food to eat. BUT, there was absolutely nothing appetizing there. so the four of us walked to esplanade. on the way, we saw this couple doing "funny" stuff on the steps of the war memorial.

ok. we got to this glutton square whatnot thingamajig and so we ordered bbq seafood with rice. ordered like bbq squid, stingray and kang kong. wah, the food damn good lah! and the ambience was good also. and the sight was great as well!

you know why? cos there was this super duper muper hooper hot girl who was sitting 3 tables in front of us. and guess who spotted her first! SAMUEL! ok so we decided he had pretty good taste. the girl was like damn hot lah. ohmygosh. hahaha. seriously. though i hate to admit it, the three of us were like staring. but hey, cant blame us. we're guys. =P

ok. seriously. she's damn hot. but she was dining with a lao uncle, probably 40 years old. DAMMIT. AND SHE'S LIKE 20 OR SO ONLY. so we concluded she was in it for the money.

ahh damn. why can't we have this kind of eye candy everywhere we go? darnit. it certainly isn't everyday you see a hot babe dining 3 tables in front of you and you can stare and look and drool or nose bleed without getting caught. oh wait, samuel was convinced that she was us staring at her. i think it was jus him and not us. HE NO SKILL LAH.

oh well. after that took the train to tampines with richard and samuel before taking 27 home.

BEN YOU MISSED A HELL LOT OF EYE CANDY!

WAHAHAHHAHA. crap. she's damn hot lah. =/ dom and richard, better don come and say i'm pervert or whatnot, cos you guys were also staring and drooling and God knows what else you were doing. =P

ah well. soccer tmr! doh. street soccer. i hate street soccer.

the sweet smelling aroma of freedom. at last.


ok. not quite.cos unlike majority of the people out there who have jus thrown their books to one dirty corner in their room till the big O's come crashing on them, i have one more day before i follow in their footsteps. =) yes. chinese paper y'all.

nevertheless, today is the day where i shall stop studying. for awhile. until my birthday ends. eh. my birthday on 6th october! -hint hint-

anyway, it has been a pretty stressful, ok DAMN STRESSFUL 21 days. all the papers. all the screw ups. all the joy at knowing you've done a pretty tough question and got it right. its all over man. and im happy.

i think the only thing that sustained me throughout this period was God's grace. this tough and trying period of my life has truly shown me that God is in your life no matter what you think. He is always there.

and the saying that goes, "God will do His part if you do yours." well, i think it has been true to a certain extent. but nonetheless God has been extremely good to me. for several reasons.

firstly, He has kept me in good health. no matter how horrendous the weather has been, He has sustained me and have kept me going since day 1.
secondly, He has truly been gracious to me. the papers since a lot less tougher than i expected it to be.

there are a lot more stuff that i would like to add but i think i'll cut it short.

in any case, im out of jail. for the moment. =P


unlike this poor kid. awww.

this post is a result of reading dom's blog. about liverpool vs man united.

i'll do the match-ups thank you very much. cos im much more unbiased. =P


van der sar vs reina
old man vs young man.

van der sar has saved man united's butt twice already. even though he's like 34, he moves like he's 24. reina. younger. but prone to error in judgments. van der sar the clear winner. if there are any doubters out there, you try to prove a good case to me that reina is better than van der sar.

o'shea vs finnan
loser vs moron.

both lousy players. though o'shea sucks more. therefore, o'shea loses out on this one.

ferdinand vs carragher
lazy but talented bugger vs try also cannot idiot.

even though ferdinand is lazy and all, he makes up for it with his reading of the game and timing of tackles. carragher tries hard everytime. but jus cannot make it. even the commentators say he fails to make the cut for the england team. therefore ferdinand wins this round.

silvestre vs hyypia

lazy to say anything. i say this is a draw. both also good.

richardson vs riise/warnock/ troare.

whoever lah. they will still own richardson.

ronaldo vs garcia.
talented youngster vs talented youngster

ronaldo with his silky stepovers, garcia with his pacifier celebration. go figure. but ronaldo may be affected by the death of his father. so maybe his stepovers not so silky. still own garcia. even though he's good.

alan smith vs stevie g.

don need to say anything lah. confirm stevie g. smith jus hacks down players.

paul scholes vs xabi alonso

both great players. but alonso might jus nick this head-to-head. scholes too old already. alonso too accurate already.

park ji sung vs riise

aye. whatever you guys say, park is a good player. riise is a great striker of the ball. park can run circles with the ball. so i think draw lah.

rvn vs cisse

RUUD WILL OWN FUNGUS HEAD.

rooney vs crouch.

crouch will turn into a rottan and whip rooney's ass then he gets angry and gets sent off. simple as that. but rooney's talent and skill will make up for that. besides, im sure he won't be so stupid as to get himself sent off twice in a week.

conclusion:
man utd 7-6 liverpool.

im sorry. united will win this one.

the question isn't what more can i do. its more of, what more must i do.








oh well.





gosh. i feel so ill-prepared for my a math. that's not good. gotta study twelfth night tmr! and a math! and bio!

tmr is "mug-like-a-dog" day. maybe there should be a law saying that we can't have exams on monday. cos we gotta observe the sabbath on sunday. ahh. screw it. drong will never hear of it.

oh wait. he might. that would mean a whole lot of money saved on electricity.

weee. less than a week to the end of exams!



chem and history concluded today. hope i can do well enough for both.



i really hope for this year to pass quickly. so i can do things that i wanna do. =)





rooney the idiot applauded the dumb ref who gave him a yellow card. harshly. DUMBASS. guess what he saw next?


bingo.


rooney:"NOT FAIR!"

one word.







help.






please pray that by hook or by crook i get to acjc. AT LEAST acjc. cos i think i'll start crying if i go to any other jc slacker than that.

this is not bitching. its jus SOS.



that's a girl. that's not me. =) but we're in the same boat. get it? get it? ok. we aren't. im kidding.

ok. take a deep breath. as you see what i have to write bout the prelims thus far.

physics was a monster kill. paper 1 owned the hell out of me. and so did paper 2. i'll be extremely grateful if i can scrape a B for this one.

e math wasn't that bad. i have no idea whether its because i've improved or because the papers were easy. i can see myself gunning for an A1. no sure bet though. there's always the careless mistakes here and there that don seem to matter, and when it does, you curse like a dog.

i think i can only make it to acjc for the first three months. realistically. i can't see myself getting 6 A1s for the prelims. the list of A1s is shrinking like the 3 for $10 shirt you buy at the pasar malam.

and i think i screwed up my lit. damn. where has the optimism gone?

ah well. can only hope for the best now.

if you see me bitching in the next post, you will see me bitching everyday for the first three months next year.

oh well. we never do know what the future holds. lets hope chem and history doesn't kill me. or a math, lit paper or bio. =)

what more must i do?



like a vicious cycle. over and over again. ah well.












anyway, physics sucks.


stupid invention.


why did fleming exist?

the result of sleeping too much during kenneth seah's class = failure in physics

wow. haha. im blogging again.

anyway, i better blog while i still have the time. the next week and a half are gonna be very crucial. prelims. i really hope i do well this round. too many disappointments.

anyway, today. woke up by a phone call from my mum at bout 11.15am. din study. had lunch then slacked till about 2pm. then richard came and we went to church to play soccer. it was a decent game. something like 7v6 or 7v7. whatever it is, it was fun. daniel, the stupid dribbler, was dribbling past everybody. first half, i played jus in front of whatever defence we had. let daniel tay do all the work. haha. we were leading 4-1 at half time.

second half was a totally different story. i din quite understand how we let in 4 goals in 5 mins. anyway, we lost 10-6. managed to dribble around and have fun. haha. DIE LA. the chemistry me and pohseng once shared on the field is diminishing. hardly knows what he's gonna do besides take on the entire defence now. MUST PLAY MORE OFTEN! haha.

went for tuition in the night. managed to clarify a hell lot of doubts. and my tutor exposed my mistakes like hell.

anyway, a belated birthday to wanzhen! tried calling last night but the phone was like off or something. so nvm la. send sms. haha.

how great is our God.
sing with me, how great is our God.
all will see,
how great, how great, is our God.

ok. im back to update.

anyway, it has been a pretty slack holiday. monday was a slack day although i did mug. mugged chemistry and a math. so basically, its jus work then com. couldn't sleep that late cause i had school today.

anyway, woke up at 7am. when i woke up, i was contemplating skipping the whole day cos i was so darn tired. barely managed to drag myself out of my bed and into the toilet where i stoned under the shower for bout 10 mins. that woke me up a bit.

left the house at 7.30am. reached the bus stop where i was supposed to meet chen at 7.50am. he told me to be there at 8am. anyway, that flirt woke up at 8! and i waited for 20 mins before he actually came. hahaha. missed half an hour of physics though. which was good.

din really learn much during physics. he basically skimmed past the entire o'level syllabus. and he told us after 3 hours that he had gone through at least 20 MCQ questions and 1 essay question. that made me kick myself in the butt for not listening intently during that 3 hours.

anyway, had chemistry after that. managed to cut the time from 4pm to 3.15pm. so that was 3hours and 15 mins of nothing but chem. it was really quite horrible. in addition to the fact that we had physics before that, it was mind blowing. in a negative sense. had a migraine half way through the chemistry lesson.

then met qian, dom, richard and daryl for badminton and table-tennis. OHMYSON. STAR PAIRING OF TANMINGKIAT AND TANQIANLI lost to some korean shouters DOM AND DARYL. gosh. can't believe it. 16-14 and 16-14. the last point was the most drama. i dived to the net to recover the shot and fell. hahaha. but we still lost the point. DOH.

anyway, went to play table-tennis then went for dinner after that. stupid dom and richard suanned me bout the pau and chwee kway. get over it! hahaha. bout time init?

anyway, had some good fried prawn mee. and a small portion of porridge. SO FULL AFTER THAT. rushed home and got home at bout 9.40pm. darnit. i think i better go sleep. its pretty late and i feel so tired.

dom will lose to me 15-0 15-0 in badminton after prelims and dom looks like parkjisung with his funky hair. not the lousy hair that dom posted.



the striking resemblance



believe it dom. hahahaha.

its been a pretty fun weekend overall for me.

saturday, i played com till the afternoon. then richard came over then studied. studied a bit of chemistry and did some a math. i can feel my math improving. hahaha. hopefully, i'll do well in the prelims and get into a good jc.

anyway, went to play soccer at punggol after that. din really play that well. wasn't all that fantastic. partly cause of the field condition. it was muddy and i was stubborn. din wanna wear boots. totally miscued a volley before getting close with another volley. closest chance was when wen chong struck the ball diagonally across the penalty area where i slid in and missed. haha. narrowly though.

but i think that wasn't the most important part of the day. the most important part, that i can remember was when richard showed me some questions people from his church asked him. one was, can people really live without God?

i guess i couldn't really answer him properly. and i don think that i can now either. but i have an opinion on that matter. but before i do so, i must add that 5 people signed in to msn simultaneously as im typing this. ok. random.

anyway, as i was saying, i believe that people cannot live without God. firstly, without God, we would never have existed. he was the one that "breathe life into our nostrils". so without him, we would have been dummies. made for the same purposes as the megazoids and power rangers we once owned.

secondly, if you do not have God, you tend to have a more pessimistic point of view toward life than those who have God in them. im not saying that being a christian is smooth-sailing or anything, its far from it. its all about perseverance. but a life with God in control is truly fulfilling and its the best ever because you will know that there is someone who can handle things beyond your control.

btw, im not really sure whether that's the exact question or not. but it runs along the same vein.

anyway, im not trying to speak like im a really good christian with a superb knowledge of the bible. but its really more of my opinion.

emmanuel. God is with us.

ok. so the week is over. the term is over. and we have 1 week respite before continuing with the battle.

so far so good i must say. things aren't as bad as i thought it would be.

eng paper wasn't fantastic. but i think i did reasonably well. ss was not bad too. the source-based was warped. took me 55 mins to complete, leaving like 35 mins for me to write 2 essays. on venice. which jus means 35 mins of pure writing. cos there's like so much to write for venice.

anyway, physics prac. i think that was pretty ok too. no major screw ups. although i had a negative resistance at the end, because i altered my off reading to a constant reading, there weren't any major screw ups.

holidays followed. 2 day break. before today came.

english paper 2 was a killer paper. it was set to kill. confirm. if ben siow says its tough, its tough. never doubt a person who wins an internal essay writing competition by critising about some of our school's practices.

e math was not bad. i think i did relatively well. i actually feel pretty confident. hopefully, paper 2 doesn't screw me up. hopefully.


downfall of society. sad.

THE DIFFERENCE

i got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
i had so much to accomplish that

i didn't have time to pray.

problems jus tumbled
about me, and heavier
come each task.
"why doesn't God help me?" i wondered.
He answered, "you didn't ask."

i wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;
i wondered why God didn't show me.
He said,"but you didn't seek."

i tried to come into God's presence;
i used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock."

i woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
i had so much to accomplish
that i had to take time to pray.
