fascinating
<3 switchfoot.
when i get a band in the holidays, we shall go learn switchfoot, even though itll probably be hard. looking for someone with drums and noob enough to jam with us.
well today's guitar was interesting. it was a combined rehearsal with choir, and the little sec 1s sing so super high. there were like 5 guys in the soprano section along with the girls, and its really interesting to watch them. we had to like sight read the 2 songs we are playing together with them, and i must say it isnt too bad. just that we will have to have a gigantic improvement by friday to put on a gold deserving performance. which isnt that impossible, since we kinda did that for syf.
doing my ihs now. cant wait till next week, cos then ihs will be over (i hope), guitar will be over (i think), we would have handed over 3/4 of our council work (supposedly) and the sec 2 cmps pc lessons will be over. well. we shall see if that really works out. and ive got to get a feedback system out for this thursday's lesson when we wrap up our pc lesson module on handicapped people. hopefully itll be an absolutely success.
just realised my last post was quite long. go read. :)

what a weekend
well. samuel's birthday was on sunday, 29 july.
so we celebrated it on saturday with our cousins and aunty do hui's family. in other words, we sat around eating nasi lemak and then played xbox. and we all got pwned in burnout revenge by our 4 yr old cousin, who now wants to borrow it. his father just called and said that if we didnt mind he would drop by later to pick it up. how fun, after all they play xbox/computer everyday. they meaning my uncle and his 2 children. so anyways, my brother got axis and allies for his present. which is kinda my fault cos i like it and i suggested it. i hope he likes it too XD. but the highlight, or rather the lowlight of the evening was my baby cousin joshua peeing into the sink. now i have no idea why someone put him in the sink without his pants on, and well, he peed into the sink. now isnt that fascinating.
sunday: we went to salvation army peacehaven. i was with all the p5s and p6s, cos its a children ministry excursion thingy. because of that i missed my duty playin guitar for fl, but cant be helped since i signed up to play guitar at peacehaven the week before. so anyways we went there and did pretty much the same thing as last year, which was singing songs (or in my case playing) and giving out cards to the people there. sadly, there was one 40 yr old man there, who used to be a captain of something at shangri-la but now has had a stroke and so is at the nursing home. but seeing the people there happy really made us happy too. there was this blind man who sang along with us while we were singing, and im quite sure his voice was louder than those of all the p5s and p6s combined. that is, until lucas and nicholas started competing to see who could sing louder. eitherway, it was really heartening to see someone in a situation as such being so enthusiastic about life.
now for today. charity cafe. we were selling hotdog buns and almond jelly w/ longans. as can be expected, all the hotdog buns were SOLD OUT by the time it was my duty slot, cos they were selling it for 2 bucks. now that would be fine if our hot dog buns hadnt come with meat sauce and if the stall next to us hadnt been selling plain hotdog buns for 2 bucks as well. the first thing that happened to me when i went down was me getting convinced to buy 3 satay for 2 bucks. i must say, it was really nice, although i would have certainly been more willing to part with my money had the satay been a tad cheaper. then, upon realising that we were out of hot dog buns, i bought a plain one from caleb and then heaped xi min's meat sauce onto it. mmm. tasted good. next up, selling almond jelly and longan to random people i dont know. and it was rather successful, considering that nobody likes almonds. or so i think. anyway there was this bunch of ib girls who were like absolutely dao and didnt even want to listen to my sales pitch. luckily one of their friends decided to buy. after all, its just 50 cents. and i sold 2 to people who didnt want to eat it, so one of them gave me back the jelly. how nice of sean. at the end of the day we earned 207.05 from the cafe, the 5 cents being from someone i sold jelly too who had an extra 5 cents he didnt want. i think it was hadrian ro, our wonderful record breaking canoeist.
and now im stuck at home trying to do homework, but as u can see i am blogging now. and blogging does not equal homework. which is not the point. the point is, in the 2 hrs ive been alone at home our house has been visited by 3 people. one of them was xi min's mum, returning us our containers and tongs we used for charity cafe, and another one was sam cheam's mum who came to give us durian for my bro's birthday present. how kind of her. uncle michael also came, to talk to my father. unluckily for him, my father was not home and he still isnt. so uncle michael decided to go home and come back 2moro. i wonder if he drove here on purpose.
the intricacies of life.
absolutely wonderfully fascinating.

watching
i sit and watch
the world pass by
and leave me behind
as i wonder
what did we do
wrong or right
does it matter?
a life reduced
a life reborn
a universe changed
a heart moved
left behind
undetected.
i have no idea why i wrote that or how i wrote that. its just random thoughts. like subconscious + conscious states of minds collaborating to make me more depressed. im so sure i needed that.

10 chinese newspaper article reviews/reports/whatevers in one night. think i can do it?

soaring and crashing.
thats life my friend. evidently, we dont always get what we want. although you probably already knew that. i myself happen to believe that i USUALLY dont get what i want, but im not in any position to bitch. cos i decided, if i want to get pissed with people for being so complainy and thinking that their life is "oh-so-much-worse-than-everyone-else's", ive to stop doing that myself. i dont want to be a hypocrite. i want to know what others think of me and i want it to be what i think of myself, although at the present moment im not that pleased with myself anyways.
well. if we dont get what we want, we can always want what we get. accomodation, like Roosevelt. which brings me to the point that mr alvin tan said that our presentation today was evaluating the situation after ww2 with a marxist view, even while accessing capitalism. well then, are we inherently marxist. after all, who wouldnt want to live in a utopian world where everyone is totally equal. just too bad that u cant live in THIS world to do that.
and we sit here and wish

the aftermath
here i am, reduced to stalking people's emails.
time to find out: singer, drummer, guitarist, singer. wont tell u which bands. and im not stalking them cos i like them or think theyre hot. not all at least. just so you noe.
but like seriously, i must expand my social circle to include PRO people. not that my friends arent pro, but these are like UBER PRO. at least 2 are.
now its time to catch up on work. i hope.
stupid chem prac made my hands smell like vomit. i hate chemistry practicals.
theres gotta be more to life than this
living day after day

back from the dead. i hope.
burn
well, that was one helluva week. have been in school from 7am to past 10pm everyday this week. except monday when i went home at 7.30pm. so i havent checked my email for a week. although mr andrew wong says he saw me online the other day, which means someone was using my com. man.
well. BoB is over. FPS is over. FOA is coming up. Project deadlines are coming up. Ellius is leaving. and i didnt get to go for ellius' farewell dinner cos of stupid flu and cos my mum wont let me. RAWR.
and i really envy the BoB bands. they get a real sound crew, a real stage with 1000 audience, smoke machines, light effects. and the barker guitarist is too pro for words. i must go make friends with him and learn to be pro. i dont care, the next time there is something like this, im gonna take part. no matter how noob i am.
on to lighter things. our wonderful chemistry teacher is so pro that when someone asks her a question, she goes "thats a good question" and proceeds to conveniently forget that questions need to be ANSWERED. and then when her "TEACHER'S DEMONSTRATION" practical fails, she goes. "oh Jonas, its your fault" and everyone was laughing at her. finally she goes "alright, watch me as i show you how to keep the setup properly" and promptly goes and removes the delivery tube, setting the test tube on fire. just before her demonstration she told us that we must be EXTRA careful when dealing with hydrocarbons, as they are HIGHLY FLAMMABLE, and that if we explode them, we will fail our practicals for the rest of the year. well mdm, im sorry to inform you but YOU FAIL.
im sorry if im being evil today, but i dont like the fact that i have the flu and i couldnt go for ellius' farewell dinner and stuff. theyre at his house now and im stuck at home. rawr. and he is leaving on monday. well life's like that.
well i was thinking about someones message the other day, and yea this is what i have to say. (i think you know who u are). in life, there's always stuff we lose. and sometimes you really really hate life for it, but good things never last forever. at least worldy good things. but can you imagine, when we die and go to heaven, we leave everything behind. would you be willing to drop everything and go. i noe lots of us might hesitate, even though whats waiting for us there is the epitomy of greatness. but still we like to stick to what we know, what we can feel, and what we have grown to love.
life.
so fascinating
so fragile
so much potential.

this is your life
are you who you wanna be
thats the song im listening to now. am i who i wanna be? im really not sure. what do i want to be? succesful, smart and pro. i wanna grow up to be someone i can be proud of. i wanna grow up to be someone others wanna grow up to be. but can i. sometimes its hard enough being mediocre when ur aiming for better.
questioning the worth of existence eh. why do you need to question. isnt life worth enough. although that angsty hamlet doesnt seem to agree since he thinks life is suffering. well then, i dont believe so. i mean life is suffering, but isnt that what we live for. to suffer and then be happy. i mean if you want to make an effort you can see something good in everything, but only if you want to.
its never too late to start and its never too early to stop
well at least try

what are we living for?
most people would live for the future. like all the jobs you are going to have, the money you will earn, the love you will gain.
others would live for love, for acceptance, for appreciation.
i want to live for GOD. because i know GOD will provide all the love, friendship and happiness we need.
well then. today we had a nice bio prac on cabbages, brussel sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower. of which all the answers were given on the net. SO FUN. anyways. i want to thank you for all the encouragement and spotlight shining. it was really helpful and all, so even though you probably wont read this, thank you.

havent been blogging lately, and doubt i can blog much now since i probably have to go sleep. anyways. today's menu is: FLICKR UPDATE! FRIENDSTER UPDATE! BLOG UPDATE!
phew. what a lot of work. this week has been really slack, but fun too. but ill blog abt it next time if i remember. now i shall just ask questions and hopefully ill think of answers to put in my next post. which will make it nice and long and useful. for me at least.
what are u living for? the present? the future? yourself? others? your beliefs? GOD?
or are u clueless. are u just taking whatever life throws at you. oh sure we are all plannin for what to do when we grow up, or at least when it comes to the next major exams. but what about the core of life. the meaning of life.
