Goodbye, my love.
You've suffered enough after two years of my complaints and ramblings about everything that sucks and what not.

The suspense is killing me man.

-

But anyway, I've finally learnt the entire reed making process and technically, I can make my own reeds now. But of course, I haven't succeeded on any out of my two attempts yet.

Just the thought of being able to make my own reeds in future makes me wanna fly. Happiness, I tell you. (:

Today's the stupid school's official opening ceremony.

The school's filled with a whole bunch of hypocrites lah.
What the hell's with the flowers and everything? It's not like the school's like that. It's like putting up a bloody facade to make people think that our school is so damn good. We should change the school vision from
Nurturing champions of today and leaders of tomorrow
to something way more suitable. Like maybe..
Nurturing losers of today and hypocrites of tomorrow?

They way they're doing it? I think this is really the case.
So much for warmth and all that shit they try to teach us.
While the Sec 4s are having their Orals, just keep playing the drums and all that, and claim that it can't be helped. What the fuck.

Seems to be like sucking up's everything they care about.
So much for giving us a conducive environment eh?

Where is the love man? Where is the love?

Thank God this whole shit's gonna be over TODAY.

Prelims I starts on Monday.

2008-07-10T16:56:00.002+08:00

Prelims I next week.
Feeling super lazy. :(
我的梦怎么办？

2008-07-09T16:20:00.002+08:00

They're not calling me back. :(
WHY DID I GO AND PLAY CHESS?!?!?!

The phone call of my life

2008-07-08T20:35:00.003+08:00

Today, I probably got the most important phone call in my entire Secondary School life, or rather, in my life, at least up to now.

AND TO THINK THAT I DIDN'T ANSWER IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL THE PHONE RINGING BECAUSE I WAS PLAYING CHESS WITH EDWARD.

And they didn't call me back all day after that.

I FEEL LIKE DYING. :(

Happy Youth Day

2008-07-07T21:55:00.003+08:00

Made sushi with the Ba today.
The entire family loves it. (Hahaha, I think so.)
It must be my superb sushi making skills.
Hahahahahahahahaha.

So much for youth day.
Making sushi isn't exactly the most youthful thing.

Ah well.
School's a bitch.
Just the thought of breathing the school's air makes me feel like dying.

Thank God this week's quite slack.
There's only remedial on Thursday.

And there's gonna be reed making lesson on Wednesday!!!
Super looking forward to it.
Awesomeness.

Feel like catching a movie.

Oh anyway, Prelim I is like totally in one week's time. ):

BYD Pictures

2008-07-04T20:36:00.002+08:00

Okay. I've got to go and photoshop Daisy in. Hahaha.

I love the pose in the first photo. I still think it's super funny.
We should make the whole world do it. Whooo!

18 dayzzzzzzzzzzz.

2008-07-02T23:20:00.002+08:00

I just realised, if I don't get a call from ACJC within the next 20 days, it means...

Hahahaha. Being a kiasu shit.
Even though I already know, it still doesn't feel concrete enough.

Had a talk with Leon.
It's quite worrying. ):
And I start to wonder if that was a wrong choice we made back then.

Be Yourself Day

2008-07-02T20:40:00.002+08:00

Think the people in the school super uncool.
I think at least more than half the school was in school uniform.
Our class won some award for having the most participants.
I'm glad Waihon decided to join in in the end.
Majority of the participants were the Sec 4s and 5s lah.
I guess its cos of the "It's our last year, just hoot." thing.

I like my batch of people.
Not just the people the I know and are close to, but the other people also lah. I mean, we don't give the school problems like every other day, and there are like quite a huge bunch of smart asses who will get the school the A1s they want and all that.
Of course there are irritating shitxzxzxz, but on the whole, we're still super cool.

Feel the love. (:

Went to Carl's Junior at Vivo for lunch with the gang.
Quite a pity that Daisy wasn't there. :(
It was nice catching up and all.

There was this longgggg silence some time after we finished our meal, like we ran out of things to talk about. Sucks that this is happening. It's either our lives got too boring, or our lives got too boring.

Maybe cos we're all to caught up with work, examinations and all that. Haha, but it sucks to think that maybe one day we'll all sit down a meal, and it's gonna be in total silence. A very very awkward silence this time.

The other class photos on the class blog.
Blog the other pictures when I get them.

2.4km Run. :(

2008-06-30T21:21:00.003+08:00

Failed the 2.4km run, again. ):
School totally sucks. ):
Weather's super hot. ):
Homework a lot. ):
Insufficient sleep. ):
Money not enough. ):
Fats getting more. ):

Life's super sad.

-

The ones who brought you "The Guitar Man" and the famous.. 'If"
If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you?

Oldies are awesome.

2.4km run is utter hate.

2008-06-29T11:18:00.002+08:00

THAT 蕭敬騰 CD MUST BE A LUCKY CHARM.

WAHAHAHAHA. TOTALLY LOVE THE GUY MAN.
AWESOMENESS.

But anyway, the the album's really good. Everyone should go and buy. Wahahaha.

2008-06-28T23:30:00.000+08:00

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Os Chinese Oral

2008-06-27T20:33:00.004+08:00

Gone in a flash.
Sucks to be the last candidate, I tell you.

It was rather okay, other than my shivering due to nervousness.
And the examiner kept completing my sentences for me.
And they tried to cut me when I had some more to say.
Sooooo weird!

GAAAAAAAAH.
Hopefully I do well. (:

萧敬腾 - 收藏

萧敬腾 album tomorrow! :D

Bunch of assholes

2008-06-26T20:36:00.003+08:00

I abhor the way the school functions now.
Rafiq was right. I think the school spirit's totally destroyed.

Nobody felt the joy and all that that we used to feel when we went to school. No doubt homework and studies were a whole lot of crap, but there was still fun, laughter and so much to share.

Now, everyone's just burdened, and I say, BURDENED with a whole pile of work they tag as essentials to getting your EHHHHH ONES.

It's irritating how you see your friends get so caught up with work, that even when you crack a joke, they think you're irritating, and they're like not even willing to talk to you. What in the world is happening?

And they make a big fuss about the whole school opening shit, coming up with dramas about how good and how enjoyable school is, which is a bloody facade. I can't believe they even have the cheek to do so. Irritating shit.

And thanks for arranging the band performance to be when people are supposed to be eating. I'm SURE there'll be actually people listening to our music. You might as well just play a CD, don't waste 70 people's time, when nobody's gonna be appreciative at all.

WHAT HAPPENED TO FEEL THE LOVE?!?!?!
I can't wait to get out of this stupid place.

2008-06-25T22:25:00.002+08:00

I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT MY CURRENT ATTENDANCE FOR SCHOOL IS ONE OUT OF THREE DAYS SINCE THE NEW TERM STARTED. HAHAHAHA. SUCH A PONNER.

No lah, Monday was horrible.
Tuesday was worse. (Due to the fact that I was actually in school)
And today.. I had to calm my nerves. Apparently it didn't work very well.

I can't concentrate on studying!!!!

Audition

2008-06-25T20:29:00.002+08:00

GEEEEEEZ.

A Minor is officially the most hated scale.
Db Major is next in line.

Walau, I cannot sight read to save my pathetic life lah.
Oh my god, auditions are super scary, I could've peed in my pants. Okay, skirt.

I wish I could roar.

I think I should get back to the books.

BBQ @ RAYSON'S ON FRI

2008-06-24T20:24:00.002+08:00

Loved the company. Pity not the entire gang was present.
Sorry we had to leave early, Rayson!
Rest assured we had fun. Especially with my team mate.

WHOOO.
I WANT TWOFIVE GATHERING!

AUDITION TOMORROW.

~!@#$%^&*()
CHICKEN NEH NEH.

2008-06-23T15:04:00.003+08:00

I didn't go to school.
I couldn't stand up in the morning.

Basket.
I thought first days of the term are always more relaxing. (There's some grammar error somewhere, I can't fix it.)

But anyway, guess what, I can feel the stress from my house yo.
WHAT HAPPENED TO FEEL THE LOVE? :(

Walau. I just want to get over and done with the whole Os thing, go to JC, complete As, go to a University, accomplish some shit, get onto the Dean's list, get a job that I enjoy and earns lots of money, and enjoy life.

Long way to go, though.

School

2008-06-23T00:29:00.002+08:00

It's the end of the June Hols, and school starts tomorrow!
Okay in fact, today.

Basket. After the whole June Hols, life's gonna suck all over again. Neh neh.

First day of school, first block, and we're gonna take a Chemistry test! How welcoming. Geeeez.

I should be sleeping. But I have a whole lot of homework undone, and I haven't finish studying for Chem tomorrow. I'm still contemplating if I should do it or just go to bed.

I think I should go to bed. (:

Bye.

2008-06-21T00:24:00.002+08:00

Ellise: Neh neh. I'm still in the I-MISS-BAND-SO-MUCH mode lah!
Liling: SAME HERE! I think i'm suffering from depression man. Haha. Nvm, we'll see when we're free then we'll go down together.
Ellise: I KEEP LOOKING AT THE PICTURES, AND I STILL FEEL LIKE CRYING, ESPECIALLY THE ONE WITH THE 5 OF US. WALAU EH. Feel like dying.

Neh neh. I really really really miss everyone. Even though it has only been like what, two days? Life sucks laaaaaah. Feel like dying.

Watched the concert DVD with Liling & YJ today. If I was the audience I would've been complaining like siao lah. 20 bucks. Some of the pieces were really quite messy lah.

Watching the video definitely doesn't beat the feeling when I was there at that very moment.

Feel like quitting school. Super not motivated. Zzzzzz..
Dying to grab a Green Tea Frappuccino from Starbucks. Geez.

-

DSA audition is on Wednesday.
Thanks for the four day notice.

Feeling super worried now.
Walau, if I screw it up, it means I'll have to study really really really really really really really (x 90384y289457289349) hard, and probably retake chinese if I get a B3. Neh neh.

Passing Out Parade 2008

2008-06-19T20:21:00.019+08:00

PRE-POP PREPERATION

We bought lollipops for the entire band and attached notes to every single one of them. Even some of the messages were very short, but hopefully they felt the sincerity. (:

BAND CAMP

The 3D2N will be one that I'll never forget man. All the fun, laughter, jokes, late night roti pratas, trying to get to the toilet to bathe in the middle of the night without getting caught, the NCC alarm clock, the beautiful music with many variations we got on the entire second night, dayong sampan. Gees. I wish it never ended.

To our dearest conductor.

Just in case you didn't take a picture of it. Hahaha.
I don't believe that you didn't shed a single tear man. I feel like crying even when I'm reading it now lah.

PASSING OUT PARADE

I must say, it wasn't the most organised, the best we could do, but I still enjoyed it, because it's truly the very last time I'd be part of this big family.

Wished Mr Tan was here too. :/

Anyway, a big thank you to the leaders and everyone who planned everything. (:

David, my successor.

I'm sure you'll be able to do a great job. Since you, Tingting and I are all LIMs, I'm sure you'll be able to get that same sense of satisfaction we got when your journey ends.
I hope that talk we had on the second night helped in one way or another.

I hope you keep in mind all the advice we gave you. With that and experience, I'm sure you'll be an awesome leader. Jiayou okay. Don't forget, we'll always be watching.

MY BELOVED OBOE SECTION

Mousey!!! Hahahaha, you look like you smiling very hard.
Your one and only junior, who is also the coolest ever, has finally graduated.

Learning the oboe has been such a long journey, and it will go on. Thank you for having so much patience to teach me the skills and techniques in oboe playing. Oboe playing is like the love of my life. I hope I've not disappointed you. Love you!

I wished Danny was there too.

Tianji!

You are the best junior a senior can ever ask for. Thank you for taking the initiative and responsibility to practice each time I was too busy with other stuff. Because of that, I was able to handle my posts. I'm glad you've falling in love with playing the oboe like I have. Continue to work hard, you'll be an awesome player. Jiayou okay!

Kaicheng!
Don't make me tell you that you suck again lah, please. Feel like a super big bully. Work hard okay. The starting is difficult, but as long as you work hard, you'll get there. Rest assured, you definitely have the potential. You just need hard work and practice. I don't want to have to come back and tell you that you suck and that you're a disgrace to the oboe section, please.

And oh yes, CLEMENT! Thank you for coming! Hahaha.
I hope you like the present that I got you. Heh heh.

Linda, CHICKEN NEH NEH!

The way you woke up on the second day was HILARIOUS. Oh my god, I will never forget that. Well, thank you for everything, especially when we were new to being leaders, you were there to guide and help us and everything, we couldn't have done it without you.

KDS!

HAHAHA. Sorry lah, but we always call you that behind your back.
Band would never have been so fun and all without you. Thank you for everything! All the best maintaining your figure, and of course, with handling the band. You'll definitely do an awesome job. We're all behind you. I'll really really miss you!

MR TAN!

Even though you weren't there, but I'd still like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to lead the band. You know, until today, I still have that tiny bit of fear of you, and I think it'll be there forever. I really wished you were there, but oh well. Do know that we love you! I'll miss you a lot too. (:

SHOONG & JING!

Shit, why did I remove my tie! :(
FREE HUGS! Leading the band with the two of you has been so wonderful that it has left such beautiful memories for me. Thank you for bearing with my nonsense, giving in to me and all that. I'm really sorry about my stupid temper, and for venting my anger on you guys all the time.

You guys are the best companions, best partners ever. I'm glad it was the two of you, and nobody else. All the quarrels, Sheng Siong and Candy Empire trips, meals, Kungfu Panda, digressing on the phone. Gees, I couldn't really start crying even thinking about them. I'll miss working with you guys sooooo much!

BIBIANA GOH!

Yes yes. School will be such a bitch without you. You three-quarter band member! Thank you for always being there to listen to me complain and offering suggestions, espcially when I was facing problems with my job and all that. I love you!

From Junior Band Festival 2005, End-of-Year "Concert" 2005, Muse Festival 2006, Ensemble Festival 2006, YPSB 2006, SYF 2007, Taiwan Trip 2007, Band Concert 2008 and to our very own, Passing Out Parade 2008.

I've finally come to the end of my Secondary School band life. The ending's beautiful, yet, I wish it never ended. I could cry a river looking at the photos lah. I'll cherish all the memories.
I'm suffering from post-POP syndrome man.

Joining the band has changed my life so much. It has taught me responsibility, commitment, initiative, perseverance, to compromise, teamwork, co-operation, and to become a better person altogether.

Commonwealth Military Band, I love you.

HOORAH!

2008-06-16T00:06:00.002+08:00

BAND CAMP, BAND CAMP!
I was never so excited about band camp. This is the excitedmost time. And probably the last time.

Yay yay yay!
I bet it's gonna be super fun this time.
I can't wait! :D

And hopefully POP's gonna be super good.
~~Of course, with my superb mace throwing skills.~~
Fwahahahahaha.

BYE SUCKERS!!

If you miss me, you're very welcome to come for the

2008-06-14T22:05:00.002+08:00

WALAU, MY NOSE IS DAMN IRRITATING.
IT GROWS PIMPLES LIKE ALWAYS, AND IT KEEPS HAVING MUSCUS.
ARGH. WHY CAN'T IT BE A NORMAL, HEALTHY NOSE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE'S?
D:

Anyway, really sorry for being unable to go for Top One, Ji.
:(

Confirmation's tomorrow.
Don't really feel anything. -.-
I'm gonna continue with junior cathechists. At least have some connection with church besides going for weekly mass. Need to atone for my sins. Heh.
(:

Getting sick of studying so hard.
Ms Faith's chocolate method thingie ain't working at all.
Neither is planning a timetable and all that shit.
:(

JERLYN!

2008-06-13T20:28:00.002+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, 鸡 !!!

I decided to go and dig out some pictures for the occasion.
Pictures from Sec 2! :D

Practicing for the 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand Dance', I think.

The best way to direct the aircon to yourself.

And of course this one! (Ignore the hair)
I think this is the only picture that I have with you alone. Either that or I just lost the others.

So anyway, I hope you enjoyed your day!

-

YJ & Liling came over today.
Did the little stuffxzxzzzzssxzxz. Ahem.
And we went back to the old school bubble tea shop for some food.

I totally miss the old school, and the band room, of course.
The old band room was like. Awh man, feel the love.
~~I quite miss the cockroaches.~~

The bubble tea shop aunty still says "Chilli?" in her weird accent. Super cute. And she dyed her hair. Hahahaha.

I wish we were still at the old school.
There're so many pleasant memories.

2008-06-12T10:57:00.002+08:00

Kah Hwee did the invitation card this time!
And the one I did last year. Click!

I think it's pretty good, just that the background's a bit too dark.
Tianji should go and help with the designing, and carry on the Oboe Section tradition. HAHA.

I'm looking forward to band camp!

Photos!

2008-06-11T16:09:00.004+08:00

Day out with Youjing and Liling yesterday.

The old lady wanted to join in the photo taking. Hahahahaha.

Everybody started taking photos with the Panda after we did. Hahahaha.

The fan we got from the Kungfu Panda Popcorn Combo. Hahaha.
Po and Sheefu. :D

Had fun digressing with the two. Hahaaha.
Awesomeness. ♥

There is no price for AWESOMENESS.

2008-06-10T23:48:00.002+08:00

Watched the movie with Youjing & Liling today.
The Panda's super cute. :D The Dragon Warrior!
I think it'd be less funny if it was in chinese,
cos in the movie, Shifu was like Sheefoo and Tailang was pronounced with an angmoh accent.

The movie's awesome if you need a good laugh to relax and all that. (:

Went to buy gifts for POP also.
Took picture on the exact same spot the other time we were shopping for stuff for the concert. Hahaha! Post the pictures next time. (:

FUN FACT NO. 1
We made jelly last year. *HINTHINTHINTHINTHINT*

FUN FACT NO. 2
We went to Sheng Siong last year and wrapped the sweets like siao. *HINTHINTHINTHINTHINTHINTHINT*

FUN FACT NO. 3
WE'RE GIVING A REALLY BIG HINT!

Then, went for the class barbeque.
The one that I was being very negative about, but turned out fine, except for the rain part. Fun running in the rain, but my mum's not really happy. :/ And the wind was super scary. I finally know what the meant by the 'howling' wind. Brrrr.

OLDIES!

2008-06-10T09:13:00.002+08:00

I've been listening with oldies.
Started with Abba, cos I thought since we were gonna play the Abba Gold piece I should go and get a feel of how the songs sound like.

Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, Fernando, Knowing Me Knowing You, Thank You For the Music, and so many more.

Then, I thought of some of the other groups that I listen to, but not so frequently.

They're awesome too!

Not forgetting the guy who sang 'American Pie'.

And "Vincent", the starry starry night song.
Priceless collection, indeed.

And of course,

This is probably the best film ever!

Starring John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John.

Feel like watching it again!
Anybody got DVD or something? Hahaha.

I think these oldies are waaaayyyyy better than the type of music we hear these days. Lyrics, background music and everything. Way more meaningful.

Looking forward to band camp!

DILEMMA

2008-06-09T23:59:00.000+08:00

SHOULD OR NOT?

2008-06-09T20:20:00.002+08:00

After Os, I want to go on a holiday.
I'm not going to bring my hand phone, and I'm gonna be totally detached from everyone I know for at least 2 weeks.

Awesome idea yeah?

Hahahaha. Don't think it's gonna be possible though.
I'll do that someday! :D

Band Prac

2008-06-07T22:47:00.002+08:00

Hahahaha, screwed my timetable for today. :(

Had a band prac with the Sec 3s and 4s today.
Feels sooooo good playing with the band again.

I like Abba Gold! :D

Band is such a love-hate thing.
Sometimes I totally love it, sometimes I totally hate it.

And you know, music is a real pain in the ass.
It unveils all your secrets.
Your thoughts, your feelings, your everything.
Big mouth!

-

D is for disappointment.
H is for hope.

Hope for improvement.

Craving for coffee and doughnuts. (Confirmed)

2008-06-05T22:58:00.001+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARDY!

Hope you felt like a winner, at least for today.

Got myself into trouble

2008-06-05T14:14:00.002+08:00

Starring 林俊杰，李玖哲，张勋杰 and 曾怡宣。

This was out like some time ago, and I've been wanting to watch it, but I didn't give in to temptation and chose with stick to the huge stack of books.

Today, the devil tempted me again. And what do you know, I gave in.

But hey, I'm supporting our local talent! And you should too. (:

2008-06-04T13:05:00.000+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRO!

CMB's Passing Out Parade 2008

Date: 18th June 2008
Time: 1900 hours
Venue: School Hall

ALL ARE WELCOME! :D

Don't judge a book by its cover

2008-06-01T11:34:00.003+08:00

Just because you look like one, it doesn't mean you're the one.

Eg.
Just because you look like a scholar, it doesn't mean you're a scholar.
Just because you look like a leader, it doesn't mean you're a leader.
Just because you look like a loser, it doesn't mean you're a loser.

Hard work, effort and sincerity should never be left out.
Sacrifice is inevitable.

My First Reed!

2008-05-30T15:55:00.004+08:00

TADAAAAAH~~~

I TIED MY FIRST REED!
Okay no, I retied it cos it wasn't sealed properly so this is the second time, BUT IT'S THE FIRST REED! (Nevermind you don't get it. But this is a historical event so I have to blog about it.)

Believe me, it's not as easy as it looks.

Had lesson with Yibin yesterday. Together with Liying.
If I were Yibin, I would have kicked the both of us out of the house, instead of entertaining us with the piano and all that. Thanks yo!

Yes, I'm that much of an ass. :S

BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

The point is, I TIED MY FIRST REED!!!
YES, I'm super happy. HAHAHAHAHA. :D

There's sooooo much more to playing the oboe, I tell you.
And I can't wait to learn them all. :D :D :D :D

GUESS WHO THESE DEFORMED LEGS BELONG TO?

Super disgusting. EWW.

It belongs to..

THAT KUKU ON YOUR FAR LEFT.

2008-05-28T22:18:00.002+08:00

ATTITUDE KID IN DA HOUSE YO.

Asses.
My class is filled with asses, and I'm fonging irritated.
Sometimes, I wish I could lower their pitch and amplitude.
Fonging irritating. Getting on my nerves.
You're being cool? I suggest you rethink that.

There's band practice with the Sec 4s for POP tomorrow!
Totally looking forward. Weeeheeeee!
LIYING, HERE I COME!
~~llurRbxzX lLurRbxxz!~~

I've started learning the mace stuff for POP.
My arms hurt! Fwahaha. But it's super cool. :D
Time to build the muscles!

2008-05-26T20:42:00.002+08:00

FONG CHINESE LAH.
I DON'T WANT TO RETAKE!
I REALLY REALLY DON'T WANT TO RETAKE! ARGH!

Feeling super uneasy now.
有一种不祥的预感！

Fonggggggggggggg!

HOLIDAYS ≠ HOLIDAYS

Study hard ahhhh!

Tomorrow

2008-05-25T17:12:00.002+08:00

I'm wishing that tomorrow never comes,
on the other hand, I'm hoping that tomorrow just comes and goes as quickly as possible.

Tomorrow's my first major examination since PSLE, if that was considered a major examination.

It's not that I really suck at Chinese and all, but I just can't help feeling nervous about it. If I don't get my desired results, I'll be like super duper disappointed, to the point that I might end up stabbing myself.

Okay no, I take that back.

I love all the idioms and 俗语 and 成语 and 过渡句 and ...

Ah, whatever it is, I just hope everything goes well and everything goes well.

加油 EVERYONE!

Went for ACJC band tune-in yesterday. It was quite cool, the people were friendly and outgoing and all. And come to think of it, I haven't played in a band since the concert in Feb lah! Totally missed the feeling! Super cool. (:

Thank God I still sound decent on the oboe. I thought I completely lost my powers after approximately 4 months. :D

Fun in the Instructional Room

2008-05-23T22:37:00.001+08:00

Love the specs. HAHAHA.

2008-05-23T20:25:00.001+08:00

Chinese Os is on Monday!
I really don't want to have to retake it at the end of the year.
Pray hard I don't screw up and ruin my life!

Going to go and remember the super cool phrases and all. (:

加油！

Reed Making

2008-05-19T16:56:00.002+08:00

My first reed making session today!
It was really fun and I really learnt a lot.

You know, frankly, I haven't seriously sat down and played the oboe seriously since the concert in Feb, and I feel as if my whole life is being taken over by studies, and oboe playing was like becoming less and less significant in my life already.

I recall a time when I was going to school because I wanted to go for the band room everyday after lessons ended. There was Liying, and the whole bunch of music enthusiasts there, made me feel that whatever I was working for, there were people heading in the same direction. That feeling of unity was super motivating.

And then, band became all about forcing, persuading, convincing. Frankly, I never really enjoyed band every since Liying left. Sometimes I even feel burdened. Like, you're working so hard for something, and there are just some people out there who don't give a damn about everything. They're just there to ruin things. I never got that feeling of unity anymore.

Os is the big aim now. But after today's lesson, I've decided that I'm not going to neglect oboe playing for my studies. I've come to a realization of how much I really enjoy playing the instrument.

I never want to stop playing the oboe.

Fong.

2008-05-19T00:43:00.002+08:00

I was doing the stupid Circle Theorem worksheet when I decided to change my song on the comp. So I turned on the screen to change songs, then I saw that I had a new e-mail. It was a notification from Friendster that someone wanted to add me. So I went to check it out.

It was so dumb, so I decided to check out the person's friend, and I went on to her friend's friend, friend's friend's friend and so on.

I obviously don't know the person at all. Some stupid Sec 1. Hahahahaha. I guess I'm just one of those used to add on to her number of friends.

Zomg, I feel used. Fong it.

Friendster is getting really stupid these days.
People think the more friends you've got, the cooler you are.
The more bitchy your picture looks, the more popular you're gonna be.

HA, HA, HA.
At the end of the day, everything on Friendster is gonna end up being someone's GOSSIP TOPIC.

So much for making friends huh.

I'm an ass lah. I'm one of those who goes on Friendster to look for things to gossip about. Hahahahahaha.

But seriously, how real can a friendship built from an online acquaintance get? Yeah, some people can probably just make friends with someone just by looking at the person's picture. Me? I don't get a sense of security from that. It's like, a baseless "friendship". Like, how can you even consider that kind of thing friendship? ...

Ah anyway, my whole family's in Hong Kong for holiday now, while I'm stuck at home with my Maths and everything else. I had to take the public transport everywhere I went over the weekends, and I can't describe how irritated I got with all the stupid ugly Singaporeans.

You know how crowded the MRT stations are on weekends right. I mean, weekdays already damn jialat. Then the wonderful SMRT bothered to go and paint the arrows on the floor at the doors of the trains to tell people entering to stand at the side, allow the people to get out first then go in. Basket, the people just stand in front of the door and push ley! The people inside don't get out, how you get in?

Damned idiots on the escalator also damn irritating. Yeah, just stand on the entire escalator and pretend you own it. Just form a group and block up the whole thing so that people who are hungry after 3 hours of tuition and can't wait to get home for dinner can get hungrier so that their dinner will be tastier when the finally get to eat it so much later since I'm blocking the way.

Then those who get off the escalator then slow walk and block the way even more evil. Trying to make people trip and fall is it?

Idiots.
Feeling super disgraced.
Ugly Singaporeans! Urgh.

林宥嘉 - 你是我的眼

2008-05-17T10:12:00.002+08:00

原唱：萧煌奇

如果我能看得见就能轻易的分辨白天黑夜
就能准确的在人群中牵住你的手
如果我能看得见就能驾车带你到处遨游
就能惊喜的从背后给你一个拥抱
如果我能看得见生命也许完全不同
可能我想要的我喜欢的我爱的
都不一样

眼前的黑不是黑你说的白是什么白
人们说的天空蓝
是我记忆中那团白云背后的蓝天
我望向你的脸却只能看见一片虚无
是不是上帝在我眼前遮住了帘
忘了掀开

你是我的眼带我领略四季的变换
你是我的眼带我穿越拥挤的人潮
你是我的眼带我阅读浩瀚的书海
因为你是我的眼
让我看见这世界就在我眼前

Shit.

2008-05-16T23:10:00.002+08:00

Can you believe it?
I couldn't solve a fonging math question the whole fonging night.

Ms Faith was talking about people getting stressed up, becoming short tempered and all that. I think that's what's becoming of me.

I'm irritated by everything.

Happy 500th Post

2008-05-14T20:30:00.002+08:00

It's a regret that this had to be a post, venting my frustrations.

Hell no, I am not dropping any fonging subject.
I don't care if you think I'm over reacting about it, or I'm being too defensive, but I'm fonging insulted.

It's not that I've been fonging failing physics since sec 3,
and it's not that I've not been doing your lesson reflections and homework diligently, and it's not that I suck at the shit subject.
I don't even copy homework anymore lah.

Can't the dumbass fongers tell we're all trying?

Stop coming into class and start nagging will you?
We, or at least I, am not that stupid to not know the importance of the fonging examination, and I am not such an emoshit to just ruin my future like that.

Don't even mention any shit about dropping any subject in my face please.
I've already been stuck with the 9 fonging subjects for over a year + +, I'll do it all the way. Don't come and talk cock.

Thank you though, if you meant well.
I'll get my fonging name on the fonging screen.

Reed Making

2008-05-13T22:55:00.002+08:00

MY REED MAKING TOOLS ARE HERE!
That's step one to making an oboe reed. (:

I think it's really difficult,
cos I tried scraping my sec1 reed from long long time ago, of course, after washing all the moss and fungi and who-know-what growing on it, and before I scraped a bit of the thing out, i cracked the entire reed and it split into half.

Hohohoho. Long way to go, but super enthusiastic about it. Teehee.

2008-05-11T23:11:00.000+08:00

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Monster

2008-05-09T20:52:00.002+08:00

O is a monster.

It deprives you of your sleep,
now it's even taking away family time.

It makes you feel guilty everytime you take some time to blog, like now. Such a sucky feeling.

This is really stupid lah.

Every night is like a 1 to 1 duel with your pile of homework. You persevere, you force yourself to stay away until the wee hours of the morning(okay maybe not so late), then before you start going into deep sleep to allow your body to rejuvenate, your mum's screaming at you to wake up for another day of school.

You go to school, take roughly 10 minutes to walk from where your mum drops you off to the canteen, look like you're going to die in everyday lesson, the teachers start asking you if you're okay with that concern look of theirs. You feel like telling them that life like that really sucks, but you just smile and say that you're just tired.

School is a fucking chore now.

I totally miss the times I'd wake up everyday in the morning and walk into the school with anticipation and all.

O is a monster.
O makes school like that.
O takes away your life.

But what to do, O determines your future.

Neoprints

2008-05-07T18:31:00.003+08:00

I remember the time we first met,
the first few months when we were just getting to know each other,
the stupid times we had all the "chapters",
and all the times we go crazy together.

Like, feel the love man.

Today's neoprints were like super successful.
Hahahaha. Think everytime we take it gets better. :D

I'm still like totally amused by this stupid face pose. Hahahaha.

I think I should photoshop this and put hardy's face in place of mine. I'm damn winner can! Urgh.

And last buy not least, my favourite one.
This is like my masterpiece. Heheh. :D

I FONGING ♥ YOU GUYS.

I wish there was still the good-old 2/5 gang. Not anymore I guess.
They've all moved on to.. loudness.

WTF

Chinese Prelims

2008-04-30T20:31:00.002+08:00

The paper was quite okay.

Paper 1 was alright.
I was hoping they would come up with some question about teenagers and bad company and all, cos I had a lot of thoughts about that. In the end, I wrote about how CIP can help students learn to care for each other. :S It was quite okay lah.

Paper 2 was quite challenging. Like Shuyi said lah, need to write a lot of things in your own words, cannot copy from the passage. That was difficult.

It didn't feel like some major examination or anything. It felt like we were just having mock exam. Zzz.

有智慧的人，懂得如何驾驭金钱，可以用最少的金钱换取最大的快乐。糊涂的人，尽管拥有了大笔财产，却只会苦心经营而没有去享受金钱的价值。金钱的价值就是这样操纵在你自己的手中，让你去主宰或让你把主宰权让给它，由他来操控你。这是游戏规则。

世界上还有许多事物是根本无法标上价码的，尽管金钱标价无孔不入，但它绝对不是生命的全部。所以，聪明地对待金钱，发挥它最大的效用，这才能算是真正懂得享用金钱的价值。

“空即有，有即无”，当你双手空空时，并不代表你什么都没有，因为你有机会握取你想要的东西。

每个人的生命内都逃不过生老病死，但若一个人懂得如何珍惜生命，懂得因生命而感到满足，那人才真正掌握的生命的真谛。

I'm impressed with myself. Hahaha.

Adam Khoo Workshop

2008-04-25T20:02:00.002+08:00

Attended the workshop from Monday to Wednesday.
Actually the workshop's called "I am Gifted, so are you."
But I think it's more known as Adam Khoo Workshop. Hahaha.

Learnt stuff about how to study more efficiently and all that. Quite fun. I liked the speed reading activities. My trainers were like super cool. And their life stories are like really super amazing. Makes you wanna be a successful person too.

Yup, got super affected by the parents thing, at least not to the extent that I started wailing like the other people lah. But I did write a letter to my parents and all that lah.

"You have the power of the choice. Choose to grab opportunities."

I took that "poster" home.

I think it's like super true lah.
A lot of times we choose to like just sit at a corner and not take the opportunity to answer a question in class, or do something else, cos we don't want other people to think of you as some geek or loser and all that.

Don't know if the impact of the course on me is gonna be like some 3 day thing like what the seniors use to say, but at least I know what I wanna do in future.

Didn't go to school today cos I was sick. Fever and all that.

Time passes damn quickly. Chinese prelims is like next week. ZOMG.

Basketball & Frisbee

2008-04-18T21:29:00.002+08:00

CONGRATS TO THE BASKETBALL GUYS FOR WINNING!

YOU GUYS ARE THE COOLEST!
Like really awesome. :D
Super happy for you guys. Hahaha!

And the team's in for Frisbee Semi-finals! Super cool too.

Got Adam Khoo Workshop next week.
Somehow looking forward to it, somehow think its gonna be useless.

Change

2008-04-15T20:21:00.003+08:00

"The only constant in life is change. Those who are able to adapt to the change will be the survivors."

- Ms Faith

At least I think she said something like that.

And her meaning of change is making me sit in the first row, depriving me of my small snacks, power naps and so many more things. I can't wait to find out what I gain from the front.

You know, one of the things that keeps me awake in class is like suan-ing Mr *ahem*Koh*ahem*. And normally when I do it from my former seat, the people around me will hear the joke and laugh, but he won't hear it. Now that I'm in front, NOBODY will hear the joke, and I'll laugh to myself. But that's not the worst thing. The worst thing is, THE GUY WILL PROBABLY HEAR IT. I'm like super near the board.

Never in my approximately 10 years of education have I sat in the first row in the class. Okay, except for the short period in Sec 2 when I sat at first row, at the corner with Kok. (Hey, I was relaxing. Hehehh. Relac one corner uh!)

I guess it's gonna be a whole new experience.

BUT WHAT'S WITH THE FIRST ROW?
Yah, it's probably a chance God gave to me to motivate me to stop eating in class and lose weight. Maybe. Hahahaha.

Well, look on the bright side.
There's still some bit of coolness at the front lah. (Mostly because I'm there, neutralising all the uncoolness the teachers come in and spread.) But yeah, at least there's like Theck Yee, Ameer, John, Zhen, Waihon around, and Bok, Hardy(the loser) nearby, and Jerelyn not so nearby anymore, and yeah. Awesome. Okay, maybe not so.

Ah well, life still has to go on, even though it sucks.

Floorball tomorrow!
I totally love the game. :D

Oh yes, I'm sitting with Ze Xun.
Ze Xun has been my classmate since like Sec 1. And he doesn't like talk to me at all. Wtf. Am I that scary? I'm starting to suspect if I'm a neila deep down inside. Oh wait, it's just him. HAHA whatever.

I fell down.

2008-04-10T21:49:00.002+08:00

I thought this was something significant, so I should blog about it.

I am seriously not fated to play any form of sports.
Even after I've found some love for Floorball,
something at to happen, particularly to the RIGHT side of my body.

In case you don't remember, I sprained my right ankle about 6 to 8 times over like 3 months in Sec 2. And another 2 more times a few months later. It all started because I stepped into a hole on a grass patch while trying to take a photo.

And at that time, it was NYAA physical recreation thingie time, and I was playing frisbee.

Nevermind I didn't complete the NYAA shit,
but the curse of the sprained ankle went on.
Subsequently, Mr Lim organised frisbee games and all that,
and GUESS WHAT? I always sprained my ankle the DAY before the game or something.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

And not that I'm like totally into floorball for Games Day, which is tomorrow..

I FELL DOWN YESTERDAY WHILE PLAYING WITH THE 4/1 PEEPS.

WTF.

Yah. It's only bruises and all, BUT IT HURTS LIKE FUCK.
And my knee is swollen! Walau eh!

Bibiana says that I'm not fated with sports, I'm not fated to lose weight.

SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT.

Ugh.

Feeling damn suay.

But anyway, class jersey is done.
I think it looks neat and smart. Totally love it. (:

Bibiana's Birthday

2008-04-08T20:26:00.002+08:00

HAPPY ~~BIRTHDAY~~ BERSDAY BIBIANA!

Collars up! Hahahaha.
I wonder what Alvin will do when if he sees this.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your day.
Wasn't the cake like super cool? Heheheh.

And guess who was the lucky soul to get this unique slice of cake with a strawberry on top? Hahahahahaha.

FEEL THE LOVE YO.

杨宗纬 - 幸福的风

2008-04-06T20:46:00.003+08:00

因为我永远只能一个人生活
孤单的快乐哀愁
偶尔可以伪装潇洒
只有心里慌乱起来自己喝酒

因为你只是一个美丽的偶然
吹淋我不经意降落
谁知道你不同
谁知道你不走
拥抱著我说终于找到了我

你看穿我的轮廓亲吻我的奋勇
不在乎我曾经的错
如果不是你的款款温柔
还以为真爱只是一个传说

请相信我的承诺虽然有点笨拙
但我看见幸福的风
如果我把我的手放在背后
愿不愿意牵著一起走

愿不愿意牵著到最后

Floorball

2008-04-02T21:04:00.003+08:00

I like floorball.
I think I've finally found the game for me.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

I think if I played it like everyday, I'll get damn good at it,
and I'll totally lose weight. Hurrah.

In case you haven't realised, Mother Tongue prelims are in like about 3 weeks time. Hohoho.

Told my mum I wanna continue playing the oboe.
She said okay.

Told my mum I wanna buy a reed making kit.
She said okay.

Told my mum I think I should pay for oboe lessons and continue learning.
She said okay.

Told my dad I wanted to buy an oboe soon.
He said okay.

Told my mum we should pay my chinese tutor for 2 hours lessons instead of 1.5h cos she always goes over time and I'm improving.
She said okay.

Told my mum I needed money for pens and correction tape.
She has probably seen my gigantic collection of coloured pens, but she still said okay and gave me money without questioning.

Complained to my mum about Mrs Teo.
She continued complaining with me.

Told my mum my watch died.
She got me a new one.

I think she trusts me a lot.
Makes me start thinking about the time she wouldn't even let me go to Westmall with my friends.
And the time she wouldn't let me walk to piano class alone, and made Mercy walk with me and wait for me there.
And the period of time I totally hated having need to tell her stuff. (I like to complain about school stuff and all to her now. Heheheh.)

We've all grown.
Cool.

2008-03-30T21:56:00.001+08:00

CHEMISTRY IS SO DIFFICULT!

Class Jersey

2008-03-28T23:05:00.005+08:00

Whoaaaaaa.
I haven't blogged in almost a week. Cool shit.

The week's been about studying, and studying, and yah.
My grades have improved, which is a happy thing.
Remedials are driving me crazy.
I'm quite amazed that we're actually finishing the syallabus.
I had lunch with the bonks a few days back.

Finally done with it and sent for printing.
Quite about the whole jersey thing. My first one in four years. And my name's super huge. Heheh.

Here's the design for the tee.

It's not gonna be exactly like that. I got the t-shirt outline thing online so it's not the exact design of the t-shirt.

It's gonna be quite cool, so yeah.
We totally left the school logo out, and so did the other classes. Hahaha.

Anyway, I took a picture of the biggest loser in my class.
I was taking the photo and he actually bothered to smile at the cam.
Hahahaha, L is for Loser. In this context. Not the Death Note context.

Life's been like that over the week. Sian like hell.
Even plans for frisbee after school today got ruined.
+ the unpleasant remarks about the band I've heard these days.

Oh mannnnnnnnnnnn.

But tomorrow's tuition is gonna be super fun.
POLO TEE! :D Hahahahaha.

Alright. Bye.

2008-03-22T00:12:00.004+08:00

Went blog hopping, and I came around a lot of band junior's blogs. It seems that many of them are rather excited about the new ex-co posts, especially the sec twos, wishing each other good luck and all that. Glad to see that they're actually enthusiastic about their jobs, and it is a good thing.

But, do they know what to do?
And, will they take their jobs seriously?
Will the new system of appointing leaders a year earlier really groom good leaders for the band?

It sucks. Thinking about all these brings back that frustrating feeling I often used to have, when we were trying ways and means to improve the band, but nothing works cos nobody gives a damn about following the stuff we try to do. Maybe it wouldn't work out even if they did follow, but not following is like not giving us a chance at all.

There were many times when I wanted to post something on my blog, scolding someone, complaining about stuff, but it didn't seem appropriate cos it'd probably result in something worse. I bet you cannot imagine to frustration and all that.

But anyway, it's always the story about putting yourself in other's shoes.

Immaturity.
emotionally undeveloped; juvenile; childish.

I think it is only with maturity comes good music and good leadership. And the logic behind giving the Sec 2s posts earlier is probably to make them realise the importance of maturity, a wake up call to start growing up, and time to grow that sense of responsibility, the skills, and everything else. (This includes the coolness like mine.)

So yeah, I hope the ex-co position is not a "play-play" thing to the sec 2s, and 3s, and that they'll take it seriously, as a chance to prove their abilities and to learn.

Oh yes, Yici called me earlier on to ask me what to buy for Mr De Souza's breakfast. Hahaha. It was quite a funny thing, recommending him things to buy, even my mum was amused, and laughed at how it's now the new leaders' turn to get the breakfast. Hahaha.

My neighbour's cat keeps miaow-ing. Cute? Nah. At 12.44am, it's super irritating. Feel like throwing a rock at it, but its too dark I can't see it. So irritating.

(Yes, I realise the last part is out of point. Haha.)

Cross Country

2008-03-20T23:40:00.002+08:00

HAHAHAHAHAHA.
如愿以偿，I must say.

Today's supposed to be like the school's Annual Cross Country, but the whole thing turned out to be a total failure, thanks to the rain.

I'm actually quite happy about it lah. I'm not the kind who likes running and all, so it's actually quite a good thing that the whole thing got cancelled. And now that they've decided to postpone it to after the Mid-years, the sec 4s will probably not be required to take part, and so, I'll get away with it. Heheheheh.

It's either the school is cursed, or that this is a punishment for the school authorities for all the atrocities they did to the students.

Hated the way the P asked the people squeezing under the shelter to remain silent and actually squat over the disgusting and muddy grass. She should try suffering the shit lah. My class was lucky we had like a personal shelter and all, but the other people probably felt like they were in hell. Pity them. It's like, the surrounding conditions are already damn disgusting and horribly pathetic, and now they're not even allowed to talk. Torturous.

Went out with Daisy, Jerelyn and the Ba after that. Had lunch at LJS, which was pathetic.

My brother told me, when he was Sec 2, Combo 1 costed $3.15. When I was Sec 1, it costed $3.60. Now, it's $4.20. Yet, the price of the food and the amount of food happens to be inversely related!

As price increases, size of chicken and amount of fries decrease. So pathetic that my piece of chicken looked like potato wedges.

Walau eh. Don't the people have some integrity? :(

2008-03-18T21:22:00.003+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HANNAH!

I meant, Pawk. Heheh. (:

Today's a happy day.
I got like an A1 for PHYSICS.

Can you like imagine how KTS felt?
I'm probably like his most hated student, who sleeps in practically every lesson, gave him hell a lot of problems during the extended timetable last year, made fun of his green and dark blue polo tee and about him blending into the classroom walls, and irritated him a whole lot more cos of the things I do for the past few months.

I wonder how teachers feel when their shit students get good grades. Like, is it something to be happy about, or do they bear the grudge and go like "Shit. Why didn't she fail? F---." Well if I was like KTS, I think I would have sweared under my breath a zillion times when marking the paper. HAHAHA. Afterall, I think I really pissed the guy off very badly a few times lah.

Ah well. I'm getting back into the pace and doing my homework these days already, so yeah.

HAHAHA. Feeling like a super winner.

Announced the confirmed band leaders today.
You guys will definitely be able to do an awesome job!
Leading the band has taught me so much, and now that we've stepped down, when I look back, I'm actually quite thankful for the opportunity. Even though there were many screw ups along the way, I made the some of the best friends I've ever made in my entire 16 years of life. Super cool.

加油，David! Since you already have the coolest surname, you're already like halfway there! Heheheh.

Now, back to the pwonderful pworld pof pmaths! (Hi, Liling)

Watched it today.
Quite cool lah. The dance and all that.
Not the kind of must watch show though.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,

MR DE SOUZA.

Went for Yibin's recital with Liying & Tianji today.
Felt like I was listening to a CD. Or rather, watching a DVD.
It'd be quite cool if I could play like that one day lah.
Glad I went. :D
Feeling super inspired to go and practice super hard!

Step Up 2 The Streets tomorrow!

"避苦求乐是人性的自然，多苦少了是人生的必然，

能苦会乐是凡人的坦然，化苦为乐是智者的超然。"

From last week.
Pawk looks so black. Hahaha.

My Ba is super cool.

I remember a time in Sec 2, when we were in like English lesson, she was irritating me with the "Ellise.. I'm on the third floor.. I'm gonna get you.." thing. Then I accidentally pushed her too hard and she fell of the chair. And the class was like super quiet at that time. Hohoho.

I'm so sorry man. I really didn't mean to.

Heheheh.

Had lunch with Liying, Danny and Tianji today.
It was quite quiet and all, I think everyone was quite bored.
Ah well.

I'm gonna get a frame for my Jay Chou poster.
It kinda costs like $70. :/

Damned. The birthday's over. ):

Got a haircut, thanks to Mrs Abdullah's reminder.
Stupid aunty cut it so short. Feeling quite sad about it.
Now I gotta start growing it again.

Can you imagine if I had long hair? Omfg.
I should go and find a picture of me when I was young, with long hair. Hahahahaha.

NJC, or not?

This has been like the most terrible so far, since last year.
Quite scary lah. ):

Super bad at the Math and Sciences and English.

The only reason why Econs is an A1 is because it was an open book test. I think i failed the closed book one. But I sleep in almost every lesson, so, I really can't blame anyone.

Ah, time to work out a revision timetable and all that.
It's quite dumb cos like half the notes are in the files which are collected. But oh well, hopefully things get better.

Add oil!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAVID.

You're gonna be able to do a better job than I did.
You just need time to learn and gain experience.
All the best! :D

I can rap.

Can you imagine if one day I actually top the class for an examination in like Physics or Economics. The lessons that I always sleep in. I think the teachers will like totally think I was just lucky. But in fact, I'm just too cool.

I'll be like over the moon if I really did so. Then I'll have some basis that sleeping in class ain't gonna destroy my life. But I realise that I suck all the other subjects except for the humanities. I'm starting to do badly in those too though.

Walau walau walau walau walau walau walau.

Ah well. Maybe I'll stop sleeping in class.
I'm really trying. I didn't sleep in a single lesson today. Being totally cool about it.

Celebrated Mr KDS's birthday today.
The cake was super heavy, I bet I lost some weight carrying it to school. But eating the cake made up for it lah. ):

Well, though the celebration's really early(like 10 days earlier), I hope he enjoyed it.

And yeah, I rock. I will not get into trouble with the CSIs if anything happens. (Touch Wood).

Lunch at Little India on Sunday was good.

Shared a cab with Shannon, Dolly and Zhiyang.
The cab driver was really interesting, talking to us in some really chim chinese. And Dolly's probably right. I think he'll do better in chinese Os than many of us. Hahahaha.

But it was quite pleasant to have such a friendly cab driver lah. Hate the ones who worry more about their seats getting scratched than whether the passenger is comfortable. Disgusting service.

OH YES.
My cousin gave me this super huge Kungfu Dunk poster,
like the size of the ones they put up at the bus stops.
Super happy about it. :D

Hehehehee.

Acting cute at dinner one night. Hahahaha.

Had lunch with the people today.
Really cool, since we haven't got together for a long time already.
Sucks that we don't have so many common topics anymore,
but heartwarming to actually get together for lunch and all again.

The birthday cake,

Pawk's beef lasagna.

My seafood spaghetti.

Then when I started eating, I didn't bother about taking photos about the other people's dishes already. So, yeah. Hehehehh.

Now now now, don't be fooled by this.
It's not a real oboe. But I love it all the same.
Jerelyn and Daisy got me a mini oboe!
So touching lah.
Must be cos I keep ranting about wanting an oboe and all that.
It's really really pretty!

And the BA got me the Kungfu Dunk photo album,
which is also super pretty.

Today's happy. :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The concert was super cool.

I think all went well, except that the presentation of tokens of appreciation was quite messy. Other than that, all was good.

I'm glad the concert ended in a way where all the audience were like super high and enjoying themselves. Exactly like what I pictured it to be. Super glad about that.

Of course, thank you:

YOUJING & LILING

I couldn't have done it without you guys.
It's been great working with you guys over the past few months.
After all the shit we've gone through together,
all the mistakes we made,
I think we've really learnt a lot a lot.
At least I've learn a lot.
I'm really proud to have the two of you as my BMA and BMM.

LINDA

Senior Mentor!
Thank you for guiding us along the way.
We would have been much worse if not for you.

TIANJI

You're my favourite junior, always!
I hope you'll like completely fall in love with oboe playing,
and like pass down the love and all to the future generations.
Meanwhile, treasure the time you have left in the band!
Do as much as you can, and leave with no regrets.
Add oil!

HEYO. I really enjoyed myself tonight.
The dance part was super awesome.
I'm glad I have batchmates like you guys in the band and all,

DAVID, YICI & KAHHWEE

Thanks for the really cool photoframe!
It's really really very cute. Super touching lah!

To David: I'm sure you'll definitely be able to do a better job as a drum major than me. It just takes time to get used to stuff and all. If you need any help, just call me alright. You've been doing a really good job so far! So, yeah. Keep going!

LIYING & DANNY

Mousey, thank you for making oboe playing part of my life.
It's probably the best thing that has ever happened to me.
I'm really glad to have you as a senior, even though you were really scary in my Sec 1&2 years. I still love you a lot, Mousey!
I'm really proud to have seniors like you guys! You da best.

YIBIN

Thank you for teaching me to play the oboe!
I've really learnt a lot since we started having lessons and all.

Continue to work hard okay!

Supper with Tianji, Liying and Yibin was enjoyable. :D

Now, it's time for a good rest. :D

Bye.

2008-02-25T22:16:00.003+08:00

Tomorrow's the day.

Being a part of the band and the oboe section is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I've got awesome seniors, and a junior that I'll always be fucking proud of.

The whole leadership thing has also taught be a lot of things that no teacher or anybody could have taught me. Like Fabian said, it's now time to look back and reflect, learn from my mistakes and everything.

Feeling kind of sad now.
I cannot imagine how tomorrow will turn out to be, but I hope everything goes well.

Valentine's Day

2008-02-14T22:13:00.003+08:00

P.E. lesson made things so disturbing.

Mr. Tay gave us this totally random piece of information
about Valentine's Day in the middle of P.E. lesson
after we did our warm ups or something.
I was sitting at the back so I couldn't really hear lah.
But here's what Wiki told me.

Numerous early Christian martyrs were named Valentine. Until 1969, the Catholic Church formally recognized eleven Valentine's Days. The Valentines honored on February 14 are:

1. Valentine of Rome (Valentinus presb. m. Romae): a priest in Rome who suffered martyrdom about AD 269 and was buried on the Via Flaminia. His relics are at the Church of Saint Praxed in Rome and at Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland.

2. Valentine of Terni (Valentinus ep. Interamnensis m. Romae). He became bishop of Interamna (modern Terni) about AD 197 and is said to have been killed during the persecution of Emperor Aurelian. He is also buried on the Via Flaminia, but in a different location than Valentine of Rome. His relics are at the Basilica of Saint Valentine in Terni (Basilica di San Valentino).

The Catholic Encyclopedia also speaks of a third saint named Valentine who was mentioned in early martyrologies under date of 14 February. He was martyred in Africa with a number of companions, but nothing more is known about him.

Some sources say the Valentine linked to romance is Valentine of Rome, others say Valentine of Terni. Some scholars (such as the Bollandists) have concluded that the two were originally the same person. In any case, no romantic elements are present in the original Early Medieval biographies of either of these martyrs.

An overview of attested traditions relevant to the holiday is presented below, with the legends about Valentine himself discussed in the end.

The first recorded association of Valentine's Day with romantic love is in Parlement of Foules (1382) by Geoffrey Chaucer:

For this was on seynt Volantynys day
Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese [choose] his make [mate].

This poem was written to honor the first anniversary of the engagement of King Richard II of England to Anne of Bohemia. A treaty providing for a marriage was signed on May 2, 1381. (When they were married eight months later, he was 13 or 14. She was 14.)

On the liturgical calendar, May 2 is the saints' day for Valentine of Genoa. This St. Valentine was an early bishop of Genoa who died around AD 307. Readers incorrectly assumed that Chaucer was referring to February 14 as Valentine's Day. However, mid-February is an unlikely time for birds to be mating in England.

Chaucer's Parliament of Foules is set in a fictional context of an old tradition, but in fact there was no such tradition before Chaucer. The speculative explanation of sentimental customs, posing as historical fact, had their origins among eighteenth-century antiquaries, notably Alban Butler, the author of Butler's Lives of Saints, and have been perpetuated even by respectable modern scholars. Most notably, "the idea that Valentine's Day customs perpetuated those of the Roman Lupercalia has been accepted uncritically and repeated, in various forms, up to the present".

Happy Valentine's Day.

Starring Jay Chou, Charlene Choi.

Watched it with Jerelyn today.
Together with Jason, Jasper and Eugene.

My date with the love of my life was awesome.
Worth the money.
Didn't pay much cos Jerelyn got a free ticket and all.
But it'd definitely be worth the money.

I mean, yeah, the travel back in time thing
and the bball moves were quite fake lah,
(anyway, what's with Jay Chou and travelling back in time?)
but the actors did a great job.
Funny, touching, and everything.

I want to watch again!

Money money money.
Time time time.

Awh man.

Went to get Valentines' gifts.
Florists were super busy.
The sweets and chocolates shelf was quite empty too.

Feel the love lah.

Anyway, the movie's inspiring.
I'm gonna go and learn to play basketball.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Saying that Economics lessons are not a waste of my bloody time, is like saying I didn't eat a fonging piece of pineapple tart throughout the whole CNY season.

Like, what the fong is with chit chatting and spending a whole fonging lesson giving out test papers? And repeating stuff over and over again. And talking super slowly. And complaining about sore throat. And taking like 5 minutes to actually greet the class. And constantly hinting about dropping the damned subject.

Fong it lah.

Like wasting my damned life away.
Hate the Mondays with two Econs lessons.

No, actually, love it.
Can do all the incomplete homework.

新年快乐！
新的一年，希望事事顺利！

虽然今年的新年过得满无聊的，
但还是蛮开心可以见到很多不常见面的亲戚。
最喜欢的还是玩破壳牌，赢钱！对了，还有卤鸭。
最不喜欢的还是那些老人碎碎念。

今年的红包根往年差不多，没什么好说的。

超想要跟朋友们过这种节日，
一定会更愉快。

嗨！

Not that I didn't try,
but these days, it's difficult to even past tests.
Even feel like I'm gonna fail C.H. Damn scary.

Maybe I wasn't trying hard enough.

Made a deal with my Dad.
If i get 5A1s (including English) for Os,
I'll get my oboe.

And if I don't, we'll just come up with another deal. :D

I'm quite sure it's something
I want to continue playing like forever.
So I won't be wasting a few thousand bucks.

Anyway, I'm not gonna buy it unless I'm 101% sure I want it.

CNY's here.
Take care of the ulcers huh.

Get well soon, Ba.
School sucks without you, you know. Hahaha.

Happy birthday, Mum!

Happy birthday, Jerelyn!

I wish the brain was a sponge.
Then I'd be able to squeeze out the unessential stuff,
and take in all the stuff I currently need.

I think skinny jeans originated from the Indian culture.
I've got no proof nor evidence, but I just think so.
Nobody believes me, but I'm starting to believe myself more.
Bok totally thinks I'm lying.
But after seeing Ms. Jane's clothes today,
I'm quite convinced that skinny jeans did originate from the Indian culture.

Either that, or the Indian culture has just moved on to following the trends.

Pretty cool though.

Tianji's awesome.
They way I saw him teach Kai Cheng today,
I really feel proud of him.

Even though he wasn't very fierce and all,
he had a lot of patience in teaching the little guy.
I wonder how he even survived with me teaching him when he was Sec 1.
I recall not even being sure about my own stuff when I was teaching him.

I would have just got irritated by Kai Cheng lah.
I mean, who can be more kuku then him?
I mean, he's not the I.T. savvy kind,
but he's quite cool too lah.
Just needs to grow some maturity.

Tianji's my favourite junior.
He's totally cool.
I hope he gets a girlfriend soon.
And the girl better be a good one.

My oboe is so pretty.

2008-01-30T22:17:00.000+08:00

Chris,
you're a wonderful friend.

I really appreciate your honest opinions and all.
I wouldn't know what to do if not for you.

You're really great.

Ba and Jasper's totally wonderful too.
And of course, Shoong and Youjing.

Thanks to you guys,
I'm gonna be totally cool about it,
and do the right thing.

Kaleidoscopes.
Freaking cool stuff.
From a damn long time ago on a lunch with Pawk, Ji and my Ba.

This is the art of eating ice cream.
The one on the left is how the pro does it,
and the one on the right is how the noob does it.

I'm obviously the pro.
Guess who's the noob?

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Oh yes, sec 1s have joined the band.
Haven't had their first practice yet, but..

I HAVE A NEW JUNIOR!!!!!!

So, this is the new section photo.

His name is Kai Cheng(left).
He's funny and comical.
And he's Tianji's brother's primary school friend.
I'm sure they'll get along well.

I hope he grows up and becomes more mature,
and learns the oboe with sincerity and determination.
I hope Tianji learns to teach well with patience and all that too.

I didn't do a very good job,
I hope he'll be able to.

And lastly, Geog Field Trip!

Team 2 is the coolest.
Don't ask me why my shirt's like that.
The photo was taken at the summit,
so obviously I climbed a whole lot and almost died.
I probably didn't have the strength and energy to care about image.

Nevertheless, Team 2 is the coolest.
And our team facilitator is also the coolest.
Whatever it is, the 5 people in the photo are the coolest.

Frankly, I think I would have just gave up
and sat at some hut halfway through if I were in another team.
Either that or I would have just rolled my way down the really steep stairs after tripping over tree roots and rocks.

So yeah, I'm really glad to be part of Team 2.

Geog Field Trip wasn't as bad as I thought it would be afterall.
A pity I didn't lose any weight,
cos I went to have a big meal, and a lot of small food after that.

Bye.
