HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY
so we ended up writing the cards on the spot and managed to give all of the cookies. sadly that meant that we didnt have to eat ourselves :(
aces day walk was retarded. i walked the really long way with lots of loops, and most of my class took the short way. like we were walking, then as we had just finished one loop we saw kevin wong and kevin low walking in the other direction. then on the last loop, their group joined up to the path at the same time as us. that cut like at least 5 minutes of their walking time. grr. so i went back to school and decided not to go back to class, so i sat in the SAC with kevin (lim) and drank ice milo. and ate his brownies. which were notbad. notbadatall.
well. its a one week break. hopefully i wont have to go to school much. just played need for speed carbon on the xbox, and i must say, running away from police cars is rather fun.
study.

at last. i spent 20 minutes fiddling with my template to get up a title for each post. considering that i have no shred of an idea regarding html or whatever it is that is used to code blog templates, thats quite an achievement. im so proud of myself.

emergency brakes
screech the brakes.
played soccer today, but since it just HAD to rain at 6, i could only play at 630. and now my shoes are WET. grr. well today had less people but just as many vulgarities. either way my team pwned them. there. think you're that pro eh. cant even beat us and i dont even play soccer properly. and this small boy went around telling everyone he trashed me 10-7 in a soccer game. he cant even kick the stupid ball. we pass to him, he attempts to stop it and it rolls past him. totally awesome.
well. teachers day is tomorrow. russell cycled out to buy cookies, so now russ jonas and me will have presents to give! fascinating. just that we have to write the notes 2moro morning. somehow must find time between aces day run and teachers day concert.
speaking of time. i was reading a book the other day talking about time warps. according to it, the earth is stuck in a time warp where everything has already happened. there is no future, only the appropriate time for something to occur. everything in the universe has been discovered already, all the inventions invented. just waiting for that moment to spring out of the time-space continuum and shock us with unerring effeciency. the only people experiencing real time are those travelling in space. if only life were that simple. well, maybe we're better off the way we are with unpredictable circumstances.
world scholar's cup. i think i shall take part in it with jeremy and russell. not that i think itll get me into an ivy league university, but i think itll help me to study and stuff. either way, the topics are fascinating: science (astronomy and space exploration), social science (explorers of the past and present), economics, literature, fine arts (8 artworks and a movie), math. social science sounds the most interesting. i just cant wait to .... mug. for that at least.
lousy term 3 average of 83.9. a project term and i cant even get top in class. get beaten by kevin wong again. ive figured, i have to beat shaun by 6 percentage points in end years to top the class. anyone want to help me mug? ive got to prove myself. break out of the 3 year slack mood ive been in since sec 2.

pretends
lets pretend
my tagboard is stagnating. just like the Soviet economy under Brezhnev. one thing i dont understand is why Gorbachev couldnt privatise the entire economy, or at least major operations like UralMash. market forces should have sorted themselves out after a bout of chaos. i guess that in the fragile situation, he didnt want to take chances.
life is a gamble. gambling, therefore, is like multiplying the risk factor by, well, by a lot.
contemplating life. walking along a river. a torrent. jumping in and out can either get u nice wet and refreshed or get u washed down the current. which can either give u a kickstart or drown you till u die. well. aint that absolutely awesome.
not one of them involving you

reality
my tuition teacher used an interesting analogy on us destroying the world. he says, its like knocking holes in the wall. each generation just knocks one hold. one small hole. i mean like, its just a hole, no one cares. presuming that it doesnt rain. so this just goes on and on. until one day, the house collapses. and everybody GETS CRUSHED BENEATH THE CONCRETE AND BLEEDS/SUFFOCATES TO DEATH! ok fine he didnt say the dying part. but u get the picture.
well. played soccer today outside my house with a bunch of vulgar small kids. fascinating combination. and the all think theyre so pro. one of these days someone is going to bash them up. just like someones gonna kill nishad. eventually. hope it wont have to be me though.

whats with us humans. we always get attached to people places and things so easily. like ill bet that all of us are gonna miss our classes when we go to yr 5 next year, regardless of how much we HATE certain people in them. and as much as i dislike my new house, ill probably miss it if i shift. when i shift. like in many years time. so why do we have to give ourselves reasons to be upset? i suppose its to make us happy. now that might not make sense to u but listen. the only reason why you would miss someone/something is if u enjoyed their company. enjoyment = happiness. even if u didnt enjoy their company, at least ur life was more interesting. or maybe its a sense of continuity and stability. either way uve got to end up missing things and people as long as u have emotions. cos nothing lasts forever.
we had a funky chemistry lecture on friday. too bad it took up white space and made us all go home late. but at least it was interesting. an interesting lecturer: mr alistair chew. an interesting topic: drugs. although not all the jokes were funny, most of them were. maybe ill take chemistry option b next yr, if its really abt medicine and drugs, cos that way its biochem, and its much more interesting and applicable. after all im not gonna grow up to mix chemicals together and titrate them till they explode or anything.
i actually did homework this morning. both math assignments. after that, however, i havent done anything. :(. got to get my dragon in dragonfable!
playing tennis on jason's handphone is fun.
thats all i ask of you

doom
i am doomed.
my bio got an average of 78 this term i think. like what the. thats 5th lowest in class. all because i didnt memorise the stupid random questions. i personal believe that such a system shouldnt be used to evaluate the intelligence of students. asking students to come up with mcq questions themselves, as long as they are related to the topics studied in the past 2 years, will result in a massive number of TOTALLY RANDOM CRAPPED UP QUESTIONS. a third of them will be impossibly hard but related, a third will be totally unrelated to what we study but somehow linked to the broad topics we study (like DNA), and the last third will be slack questions that are kinda weird. of these, a questionnaire of 60 questions is chosen. thats 60 out of more than 150. so, all the slack questions are kicked, and the test is made up of 2/3 freaking hard questions that are from some obscure notes we probably forgot by now, and 1/3 random questions that are about topics that we have never heard of. and now, a teacher gives the class rep a compilation of half the level's submitted questions, and the bio rep doesnt tell anyone about it. for some reason because i was absent no one even told me that there were questions going around and when the test was. so then 3/4 of the class goes and memorises all the answers to the questions given, and when the test comes out, gets the first 30 questions correct. now. it aint that hard to guess the results. and since i didnt see the questions cos we got them the day before and i had to study for chem and do backlog, i get 40something upon 60. low 40s i think. or 30s.
either way my average is going to suck this term. not helped at all by my history average of 71%. for some reason i got 13/25 for my assignment. passing by half a mark. thankfully my report did better and i didnt fail overall.
someone help me to mug please. i need to mug my brains out for term 4. i have got to beat someone.

reset
i deleted my entire sms inbox today. well i figured that eventually i have to delete it, and as much as i dont like deleting my messages, especially ones that mean something and ones that i could possibly use to blackmail :). but seeing as how they dont mean a thing in the eternal picture and they have to go someday, why not now. so. an inbox with 3 messages in it. lets see how long it takes to hit max capacity once again.
COSI kids came to our school to perform on monday. they came to our church on sunday, which could be why the dances were so familiar. so in a span of 2 days, i watched them perform 3 times. fascinating. makes me want to go on a mission trip again, minus the dengue fever. and hopefully with a greater faith experience. i guess thats what i really want.
my maid is leaving on friday. thats sad but as i said, nothing lasts forever. nothing of this earth that is. the people we meet everyday, they all have to go away someday. we can only hope to see them in heaven. i hope i see you.
well. down for worship at fl this sunday. means no friday night for me. well, at least no night of work. a night of singing and playing guitar. hey, that aint too bad a swap.
1 more day to MEP Higher Music Practical (Prelim/Final Year Exams)

holiday. holiday. please give us a holiday.
we have won the battle, won it brave and bold
let us off we've won the gold.
(to the tune of I Love You from Barney)
well according to drong, that was the only cheer he could hear properly. not surprising, seeing as how the student supporters only started cheering properly when the saints first equalised in the 2nd half of the match. u need pissed supporters to get a good cheer. either way, the point is that we won. rather the c div rugby team won. yay! go rugby.
and because i didnt pon rugby, i now have a messed up throat and i came home at 8 plus. darn it. my first mep prac prelim is in 2 days. i have got to start getting my head into focus. thats kinda hard since its still throbbing a little from the cheering. signs of not having cheered for too long. now when i cheer my eyeballs feel like their gonna drop out of my head. now that would suck wouldnt it.
now. im sleepy. i shall practice once thru some of my pieces, and then do my cmath hw. and go sleep. have fun everyone!

in our society, its the best and the rest. with a widening income gap even within the top people in society, this presents a problem.
thats about the only thing i heard from the national day rally. since i have all this stupid work so i guess ill have to watch the speech another day. hopefully i remember. tomorrow we have to stay back for rugby cheeering. i wouldnt mind if it didnt mean reaching home at 8 and having no time to do work...
well. better go get started so i dont have to sleep late.

log
backlog. lots of it. although i have a feeling not all of it is backlog and some of it is just homework with really late due dates.
woke up at 11 am today. not good, looking at the amount of homework, and the amount of practice i need to do for mep prelims next week. the perils of going for prefects dinner. speakin of which, our performance was ok i think. got isaac to do take your mama as a 2nd song, but then there was no mike so no one heard my guitar. darn. should have used my electric, except the first string broke. darnit. supposedly, the senior admin when they first arrived said "i hope the prefects dont sing again this year. thats the only thing they cant do". hopefully we've proved the wrong and rene wasnt lying when he said they said i was not bad. o well. have to wait till the holidays then we shall improve. and hopefully eventually record something for fun.
anyways i died for my ioc on thursday. did line by line without linking every line to the theme, which she said was BAD. and i didnt talk enough abt literary devices. screw langarts.
set me on fire

compliance
leek got pissed with us today. he went on and on abt us having to learn not to do things behind people's backs. and about keeping quiet and showing r-e-s-p-e-c-t. and then he went "fine complain about me. here. i give u more things to complain about. complain that i am not teaching you. videoshoot it if you want".
usually, i would get pissed with the teacher and think he's being a total fag. but i just happen to agree with him. firstly, he doesnt even give us much homework, compared to the amath homework which is at least 2 assignments a week. and someone just had to complain to the senior admin abt him giving homework. secondly, my class is so damn screwed up that i hate it. lousy dynamics with teachers. thirdly, when he scolds us, he is different. he doesnt scream at us or use vulgarities, let alone strong words. instead he speaks politely and nicely. which i cant say for some students.
im sorry that i hate u. i just do. i hate the way you act, the way you talk, the way you treat others, the way you think of yourself. i hate the stupid complaints you have. i hate you.
gideon was talkin abt an analogy from anger management during lunch. i think its really interesting. "there are 2 kinds of angry people. the first kind is the customer who is angry at the cashier for making the queue move so slowly. the second kind is the cashier who keeps it all inside and one day explodes, takes out a gun and kills everyone in the store." i hope someone explodes in your face one day. think ur so great huh. wait and see.
but on to happier stuff. 2 tests tomorrow, ioc on thursday, mep prac prelims next week. dont you feel all warm and fuzzy inside now. after all who doesnt want to spend the next few days mugging/practicing. hopefully ill do that in the first place.
till next time
counts.

blockades and airlifts
life is depressingly fair. its equally miserable to everyone. the only difference is the people who decide to be happy anyway and the people who decide to drown themselves in sorrow cos they just cant be happy.
well that was one lousy national day holiday. firstly cos of the homework, and secondly cos of the fact that i didnt finish my homework. that leaves more backlog for this week.
i really dont feel like blogging now, what with 300 words left to write all the stuff i need to. maybe when i get through this mess.

cartons
i dreamt of stompboxes yesterday. a whole suitcase of multicoloured stompboxes. and the day before i dreamt i was at a concert with people. this cant be good. i should be dreaming about my 1500 word history essay thats due on tuesday involving an in-depth analysis of 2 book sources. now where did i put those books. OH RITE. i dont HAVE any books on the Berlin Blockade.
a wonderful national day eh. woke up late with a neckache. went for breakfast at ghim moh market and spent at least 10 minutes queuing for the food. then came home, tried to do work but only did one question. went for lunch at vivo, came back at 5 plus and played axis and allies. well, one measly round of axis and allies. then ate dinner, showered, and realised that my GDC is now spoilt. it gives me "ERR: INVALID DIM" whenever i try to graph something. well, this has happened before, but it solved itself after a few weeks. but it just so happens that i NEED MY GDC for the amath coursework due next week. now aint that convenient.
i kinda hate my life now. well not really my life. just me. wonder why.

walking home at 3.20 feels so good. the sun is shining, i have only one bag, the week ahead looks good (psst. im not thinking about homework. what homework? we have homework?)
finally handed in ihs project today, so thats one thing over and done with. so today im doing prefect work. which ive backlogged as well cos of the concert. why oh why do we have guitar next week. i must think of a reason to not go, what with mep prelims coming up and all the coursework due dates.
i was thinking about my old house the other day, and well, it makes me sad. why does life has to be so. grr. and to make things worse, other than location, this new place (well 2 years isnt so new) isnt much better than the old one. the swimming pool is smaller and shallower, there are no people my age to play soccer with, the compound is so much smaller, there is no field or open spaces, there is no multi-purpose court. and most importantly, i dont know anyone here. bring me back.
we have to use turnitin to submit our ihs paper, and i just spent a long long time trying to figure out my password. when i clicked on the forgot your password? link, and entered my email, it asked me for my secret question and secret answer. yes it asked for the question as well. so obviously i couldnt remember the question, let alone the answer. and it was only just that i saw the small print at the bottom of the page saying: if you forgot your secret question, please click here to have a reset password email sent to your email. rawr. and when i reset my password, i realise that it requires a number. which is probably why all the passwords i tried didnt work. so, there is a very high chance that i just reset my password to the original one. o well.
and you will find

season
its over.
well concert went surprisingly ok. even though i messed up on one or 2 songs, but at least i didnt forget the notes for scherzino. actually i think i could have just used the score and just taken another stand but. o well. anyway it didnt exceed the time limit, but sadly that was cos they kicked out 3 items. 1 solo guitar and 2 choir small group items. i feel so sad for the ppl who practiced for it, but i guess we cant do much when an order is given from the powers that be.
well then. after the concert we were all hoping that the debrief would be different, and it was! firstly we had 10 minutes to go walk around, then we had to bring the guitars and stands back to the music room. after which we stacked up the chairs. then the debrief started. chin and i missed the first part of the debrief cos we were bringing the leftover guitars back to the music room and eugene gave us milo. so by the time we got back the debrief was underway. so, the only thing we heard was the part about practices restarting in a week and the existence of holiday practices. now isnt that a good way to spoil the mood. after that there was no scolding! not for the whole orch at least, so we could go.
in the end i went for supper at KAP with chin and chan yi sheng. i think. i cant remember his name. i only noe he is a master sergeant in ncc land. yea. so we were all stuffing ourselves with wonderfully salty fries.
well. that was a nice concert. and the first one i ever got a flower for, so thanks to xx and evonne for coming down. too bad they couldnt go eat supper cos xx's mum came to pick them up. well then i hope that sunflowers dont die easily.
now its on to ihs report. sadly i doubt ill be able to submit a draft, so ill just hope for the best. i uploaded ellius' pic there, thats the one we took at his last bio lesson which our wonderful bio teacher converted to a farewell party. wow didnt noe she was so nice.

festival
what a week. reminds me of BOB/FPS week, staying back everyday and stuff. except this week its everyday from 3 to 7.30.
tuesday: stayed back from 3.15 to 6.30. got the scores for the songs we are playing together with choir and everyone started to sight read. so when the Senior Admin and the people from MOE came, we were all sightreading the music. not bad eh. got home and did IHS
wednesday: stayed back from 3.15 to 7.20. did a sort of full run. which took 3 hours even though our concert is supposedly 1.5 hours long. how amazing. got back at 7.30 and had to eat dinner before my guitar lesson at 8. luckily he could postpone it, or it would have been at 745 and i wouldnt have been able to eat. rawr. after that, did CmPS stuff for the next day's PC lessons that we were teaching. how wonderful i had to do a ppt and feedback forms for the Sec 1 class we were doing.
thursday: stayed back from 3.15 to 8.30. spent lots of time doing nothing, then did a tech run. whichever way u spell it. hopefully we sound good enough for tomorrow. eitherway, there isnt much of a chance to improve. when i first went to the music room, mr daniel was there and he said he wanted to hear the primes cos we were playin out of time. as it turned out, i was the only prime 1 there, so when we played the song he couldnt do much. after all, how do u play out of time with only 1 guitar. jl, matthew ge and mark's FOC trio is really really cool. i shall go learn it in the hols. i hope.
now i have to write a script for 2moro's publicity announcement, which for some reason i am doing. and then i shall go sleep so i wont die 2moro. i hope there isnt a 1 hour long debrief after the thing, cos that means i cant go out for supper. like dude, how often do i get to go out for supper.
one day more
