Woots had a great day for our JC1 end of year ceremony. The day started off with us writing and receiving notes from each other. Didn't write for anybody till now,and I den decided that I should really go and write... So i wrote to about 10 people,and got like 7 back. Not complaining,because within some of those I really found out that I've just been kinda unconfident of my personal abilities... You can LEAD,some say. Shows a lot of initiative,says another. WOW. I mean,my parents always tell me I'm capable,but I never believed them. So it means a lot to me when my classmates actually tell me I AM capable. So its all good....
Penned down MY newsletter today. Ms Tay made us do it,but I ended up enjoying myself writing it. Basically its all about describing your life and what you see yourself as in the future. Thought I wrote a lot when I covered about 70% of the whole mahjong paper,but chrlotte finished filling up the entire paper la! I was like whoa,and she was like wut.... Well but at least today was truly a lighthearted session! Loved it much,because I sent well wishes and got some back as well... At least this gave me some sort of affirmation that maybe I'm not that outcast as I thought I was... But I wanna thank chrlotte for helping me to understand that it's perfectly alright to feel left out at times,that I shouldn't let it bother me too much since its ordinary... Felt a whole lot better after that... Thanks a lot my msn buddy! =)
Went to Long John Silver cineleisure for lunch this afternoon. Found out that they no longer have their have their triple crunch combo! So sad,since that was one of the most budget variety meal that LJS has ever offered.... So today had to spend $1 more than usual for my food. I'm a cheapskate so don't -.- me on my tagboard haha,every dollar saved is important! But of course there are exclusive excuses if I wanna go out lols...
Watched Love Happens after the lunch. Let me just give you a heads up: The plot is screwed up. Its supposed to be a love story,but it ends up screening more of the struggles the lead actor has to go thru. No link right? I mean there are good scenes that actually link to the plot la,but they are few.... It shed some good light on the movie,but it failed to live up to expectations lol... Well at least I kinda picked up some stuff from the movie:
1) When life gives you lemons,make lemonade! (Makes sense what,why sulk about it when you have a better solution at hand...)
2) Devote 5 minutes of your time everyday to smiling. You'll find that the world is much brighter after that. (Seriously,I think this is a good method. Only glitch is that I rarely manage to be able to complete this simple 5 minutes. Looks like I really should start,and make myself more optimistic too!
Well at least teaching viewers such lessons is something the director does pretty well. Now all he/she has to do is improve in the skills of his profession. No point being a jack of all trades and cannot make anything big... So sad that there are no competent directors showcasing their pieces in cinemas recently lols.... Hopefully Jennifer's Body is good... Well in certain aspects it sure would be! What movie can screw up that much with Megan Fox in tow? Haha kinda doubt it....
Anyway I'm kinda thankful that I'm back in the business and chasing her now. The odds,to be completely honest with you,are at 95-5 against my favour. Then you might ask why I'm still trying. The answer is simple,it is the fact that I have bad odds which pushes me to persevere on. This gal's a sharp cookie that I ain't gonna give in to so easily,not this time. I'm gonna press on!
Anyway I heard this song during our end of year ceremony,and I think it sounds real good! Since I don't have my conventional playlist yet,let me post a link of the song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsT2URr1Igc
Its called little wonders,and sung by Grammy-award-winning artist Rob Thomas. Enjoys!

Promo results are out! And I must say that I am already quite satisfied with my results. Can't ask for much when I haven't been going all out to study right? Anyway I got BEDUCC. All of my subjects improved with the exception of chemistry,which I deproved in... In fact there are 3 subjects(GP physics and maths) that I jumped a minimum of 3 grades! That really made me more satisfied.
And my long-awaited iTouch is in the house already! My parents went to buy it just now. But they don't wanna pass it to me yet,wonder why grrr.... Hopefully they pass it to me soon so that I start downloading all the touch screen games,especially the fighter jet game I saw Yong Ren playing the other time! Just can't wait really... My parents made it clear that this is gonna pass off as both a reward for the promos and my birthday,so there will be nothing to receive on the 4 Dec tis year haha...
I wanna watch my sister's keeper,love happens and valentine's day! Saw all 3 trailers on chrlotte's blog,and I think they're awesomely touching and cool. So anyone wanna go watch with me,just let me know k? Would love to go and escape from PW anyway....
Ok gotta go memorize my OP speech for tomorrow's dry run. Ms Tay says no cue cards,so gotta really practice byes.

Haix I had a screwed up day for OP dry run,which lasted the whole morning. Haven't memorize my script yet,and so I ended up reading from it quite a lot. So of course that was spotted as a flaw,and it was one that almost everybody had today. So on wednesday ms tay says no more cue cards! Growl.... Now I gotta really remember everything I want to say,or I am gonna be so damn screwed this wednesday. Cannot afford to stutter in front of the class,no friggin way.
Well that concluded the suck part of the day. The following activities were much more positive. Had our stupid Breaking down barriers talk for a whole damn hour,what a bloody waste of time. Well at least time passed much faster while talking to wee kang and gary. Haven't managed to interact with both of them at the same time,ever since we changed seats,so it was cool.
Then came the release of GP results. Trembling the whole time because this is the primary make or break paper,determining whether you'll make it thru promos or not. All worries faded the moment I received my essay,as it confirmed instantly that I would easily pass my GP already. I only needed 8/50 marks from paper 2 to get an E,because I got 36/50 for my essay! I was so damn happy! I was only expecting a 28/50 or something. Well guess I should learn to have more confidence in myself huh? Anyway fyi gabriel got 39,while jie er and someone else got 38. In the end I got 27/50 for paper 2. So my overall is 59.9(-.-)percent! Round it and I get a B! B for GP! This has got to be the most meaningful paper to me for the entire promos,regardless of how much better I might do for my other papers. I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to wards my tutor Mr Melvin Lee for transforming me from a goner in argumentative essays to a much more decent writer then before. Thanks Mr Lee!
Now just gotta keep fingers crossed for all the other subjects,which will be released tomorrow. All I can pray for is that at I at least sub-pass this horrendous chemistry paper,and that see me thru promos. Best of luck to everyone as well! Ok now gotta go do I & R draft 2 due for submission tomorrow byes.

Hey guys,I have reason to believe that I've kind of chilled already. Well with the exception of one of course. Anyway maybe I'll just give an updated of the past bunch of days...
Saturday: Had to wake up kinda early to go school for service learning workshop,supposedly designated for me and abhi to go but oh wells since when did he participate in these workshops,i'm the only consistent one. Leaving that aside,woke up at 630,washed up went for a mac breakfast. I know I said that I'm scared of mac already,but it doesn't apply to breakfast since I haven't eaten it in awhile. reached school on the dot at 8am. The facils are from a non-profit group known as trybe,who have been helping many youths in Singapore to become better student leaders. I must say I have learnt a fair deal from the workshop. Guess I'll have to read up again to remember what was mentioned,think I forgot already.... Lols. Oh yes dorothy went with me in place of abhi,ya.
We were supposed to end at 5,but some sort of unexpected bonus came and we got to leave at 3. By then everyone was just shacked,there were activities and tasks that require brain juice you see. Everyone just wanted to go home,but this bonus can at a damn apt time for me. I had been yearning to go for it but knew I couldn't thanks to the packed weekend I have. Now I have the chance,of course I rushed for it! Its none other then the xbox 360 gamefest at vivocity! I knew I just had to go,Just listening to the new titles releasing and out on field testing had me drooling. Biggest of them all was forza motorsport 3,the super realistic car simulator like no other. However its too real for me,the cars are freaking hard to control with joysticks,really need the steering wheel,costs $129 though. Dad? A hint for you?
Anyway the other game that I enjoyed playing there was Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Arising. This one is good,I would say on par with the incoming Modern Warfare 2. Now I'm just waiting for MW2 to come out so that I can decide which one I want to buy,definitely either one of them,nothing less. I think Halo3: ODST just plain sucks. its like some bad copy from some other game producer trying to emulate Halo3's success. No energy just plain stinks already,and there is this visor mode which shows objects in red green and yellow. So what is the point of playing when you can see the enemy coming from a mile away without scoping? I'd just stick to Halo3,thank you very much.
Sunday: Sorry I get super carried away with games and football in case you haven't notice. Anyway this is the big day for me,both in the afternoon and at night. Afternoon was because the class is coming over to my father's office to wash his 5 trucks in return for $200 he is contributing to our fund-raising project. I was downright determined not to screw this up,feel that this is the best test and gauge of how the class would respond to tasks allocated to them,as well as to see whether I'm able to gain the respect of the class to even follow me on some simple order. I just couldn't convince myself still that I'm really accepted in the class,so ya this was a good opportunity.
And everything turned out great! Initially we were stumped,but that must be cause I wasn't there(shameless... -.-),went to fetch Nathanael who stopped a bus stop earlier. After that we gained momentum and I think we really purred like F1 V8 engines yesterday. We moved and we did great. Well with the exception of some. Mind you I didn't point these people,out my parents did. These people(includes boys and gals) were apparently moving from place to place,trying to do something here and there but were generally stationary. Maybe you guys know(I'm sure you do.),but I shall not point them out here. Anyway the workhorses were identified as well(my parents are not unreasonable people okay),and neither would I mention them here,because that would be just plain biased. Kudos to the rest of the class for their efforts. Cheers!
Anyway by the time I post this,LIVERPOOL WON MANCHESTER "NOOB" UNITED 2-0! Haha too bad devil boys,the angels just swept you off your feet real badly. We're back in the game! And nothing is gonna stop our renaissance from here. You'll never walk alone!
Dedication: Starstruck by Lady Gaga. Love the starting part,and the rest of the song just makes you wanna mooooooovveeee. I'm just partying from the win right now,and this song is perfect for it. It's in my playlist,so enjoy!

Sorry that I haven't been blogging in the past few days,but I just need to get some stuff off my back first,some stuff that just seems to be conflicting with everything that I thought I actually knew for certain. Yet I've been proven wrong many times these few days. I'm sorry to say,I'm not even going to mention the wonderful class outing our class had on Monday,because these few days have neutralized every bit of fun I've probably had and even more... Maybe the class noticed my different behavior today,maybe not,I do not know.
Seriously I'm damn pissed with our form teachers,myself,and the class,in that order. I just cannot believe that the teachers just started printing out consent forms for the truck washing at my dad's office,WITHOUT even asking ME if my parents would be cool with that at all. I was so fking surprised when abi just asked me to turn around,and suddenly i'm confronted with some fked up development. And for the fking record,now you know that it wasn't me that came up with the date in such a short notice. If anyone of you at least know me enough to note my personality,damn right I would NEVER have been so sudden. I would have asked at least two weeks in advanced,and even try to keep dragging the fking date just to make sure majority of the people can go for it. So please STOP making those fked up sarcastic comments or skeptical looks,especially a few of you,because I was not the mastermind behind this shit. You people didn't have to make it worse than it has already been.
Was it my imagination? Was it just my lack of confidence/self-esteem that I feel that I'm constantly under harsh lighting? Why don't you people tell me? I do not think my eyes and ears can fk up to the extent that I cannot see or hear the criticism directed at me. I feel,that for all this while I'm probably the one in the class looking in from the outside and trying to fit in,instead of being inside already. Would the word ostracize fit the bill here? I don't know.
I guess the only comforting thing is that I know I have some people whom I can trust,though I can count them with just one hand. It just feels like these people are the ones that have kept me going during the difficult periods of my time in class...
There could have been so much more that I could have mentioned,but I think this is enough. The class is still going strong together,and I do not want this to ruin whatever bonds(whether van der waals or giant covalent) anyone of you have created with me. This,is simply a mention by itself,by it means nothing until hopefully some of you would prove me wrong,that I was indeed hallucinating. Because I feel like I don't know nothing anymore,everything is so uncertain now.
This goes especially for you,my lady. Your skepticism of me is killing me and every bit of hope I'm harbouring for you and I....

I'm back from malaysia! Actually reached home on sat but was too tired to blog,and sunday night was spent facebooking like crazy since i just got my account back. So i shall blog now den,better late den never!
As usual la,i went there and ate like a pig(though i would never end up as one ahah). I ate a whole bunch of stuff during my 2D1N stay there. Here's a list,in chronological order lols: mee hoon kueh for afternoon break fried fish with soya sauce + mee hoon kueh again + wu xiang + a full coconut + Apple lemon drink for dinner... nasi lemak with beef rendang + lontong for breakfast pecan butterscotch cake + chicken cornish + apple kasturi drink at secret recipe melaka for lunch... wanton mee at my fav stall for afternoon break...
And den we left... So as you can see I was really some glutton there. But its kinda standard that i stuff myself silly whenever I go back to tangkak,there is just so much nice food to eat there! Of course i did not just go for the food,came to visit my uncle and his family,as well as my cousin who was admitted to the local hospital for dengue... By the time we went in to look at him,he was already on the fast track to recovery,and was duly discharged the very next day,thank God for that.
Oh i managed to reap some rewards from the trip other den personal gastro satisfaction... Me parents got me a new wallet from body glove and a pair of shoes from Levi's! Great stuff... Already starting to use them... Gonna wear the shoe for this morning's lunch with the class at The Cathay,and bring the wallet along too...
At least all this have managed to keep my mind off her for awhile... The trip worked...but only for awhile la... The feeling of uncertainty is creeping back up on me.... I don't know,i really friggin don't... I think i'll just leave it behind for now,go to sleep,and get set for the lunch++ tomorrow....
Congratulations to jenson button by the way,winning the F1 world championship means a lot to any driver,and he definitely deserved the title,since he has had a wonderful racing season this year. Kudos to Brawn GP as well,for bringing the constructor's title home too. Man if there was something i'm jealous about from all this,its gotta be jenson. He's got a hot ass girlfriend to celebrate with man,and he probably is gonna celebrate with her all night long,literally..... Jenson,you are a great guy,but i'm gonna try to wrench jessica michibata from you. Someday,i promise... =P
Oh and lets not go into how Liverpool was defeated by Sunderland shall we? If you try to mention it in my tagboard i'm gonna punch you till you flip the next time we meet,i promise...

Carn sleep,I just carn friggin sleep. I seriously don't know what is the problem with me... Once again I carn stop thinking about her... I already promised myself to chiong for her after promos,and now that its after promos I still feel that I don't stand a chance with that guy around... What to do? It seems like I have a extreme tendency to be attracted to girls who are damned hard to be moved because they already have a guy in their minds(excluding the gushes they make over celebrities of course)...
Initially it seemed so effortless,I was apparently doing pretty well approaching her,and I was real hopeful about it. Then came the bloody bombshell that she likes a guy from one of her social networks a lot. I was just so damn devastated la,I couldn't understand how the heck am I always this unfortunate... Life just stinks to the core la,really hate it for the past 2 months already...
So many a times I told myself I gotta just try for her all the way no matter what,but I throw myself into self-doubt after awhile. I cannot help it,not when there are often overwhelming odds against my success chances. I gotta come up with a solution fast or I'll suffer next year,when A's would be around the corner. Praying for a solution(hopefully divine) to pop out from now till the end of the holidays,my time limit to prevent this problem from spilling over to the new year if possible.
Is it gonna happen? We shall see. Dedication: Because of you remix by Ne-Yo featuring AC. Because of you I'm having migraines,but I damn well hope its gonna be worth it in the end... The sweetest drug that I cannot taste,the one that can cure my insomnia and migraines...

I shall be lag and say this a day after I should have: ITS OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Promos have finally come to a close,and i'm damn glad about it... Burn books till its monday la! Dang that is when we gonna get right back into it,thanks to PW and CL... But oh well at least it should be much relaxed as compared to the usual study schedules....
The reason it took me a day to post this was because I wasn't at home last night. Me and alvin went over to kenneth's house to have a gamefest,to be more specific a Halo3-fest haha... Me and ken went to my house straight after school so that I could pack that 5kg Xbox 360 backpack of mine... Brought only one game with me,Halo3,cuz i know pretty damned well that it will end up being the only game we play in the first place lols.... When we first arrived it was past 8 already. We started off by watching GI JOE on the com first,cuz kenneth's grandma watches TV until 10. The movie was okay,I like the fact that it is super high-tech,but it was too much of a combination between transformers and star wars la.... Shows the lack of director creativity lols,but it was good nonetheless...
Once the movie was over we rushed for the TV. We quickly set up all the cables and plugged them into the TV,but then the stupid TV refuses to produce any images. We were seriously damn pissed,even more for me since i was the one who had to carry that friggin pack all the way to his house. Luckily the images miraculously started appearing,and being hyped about it,we kick started what would end up to be an 8-hour almost non-stop blast.
We spammed a mix of campaign and split screen gameplays. Unfortunately I only have two controllers,so we had to take turns.We settled the campaign mission that I've been creeping away from for so long,cuz the mission was seriously damn scary,its spawns Flood everywhere. But we finally took it down on Cooperation mode,so it was all good.
The multiplayer was the real highlight of the night. We played rocket launcher slayer matches,where I took a mongoose to terrorize both of them with my flawless acrobatic stunts,jumping right on top of them and blasting their head off haha.... Another game modes saw me pawning both of them again,with a sly mix of grenade throwing skills,a shotgun and sometimes a Ghost.
We were just having so much fun that we din stop till 7am in the morning. By then we were totally wasted and we slumped into explosive-filled dreams for the next 3 hours. We woke up after that and discussed the matches we had till 12,and went over to yew tee point for lunch at LJS. We came across julia and wan kei and we had a nice chat all the way till the mrt carriage. So nice to know that the two are still together after 3 years and counting... Hope i'll get my chance like that someday...
Well that is all there is for the past heck of a day. It was really great and hopefully there are more gamefest to follow after this. Halo3 is great for multiplayer and we should really exploit it haha. Would be great if there are additional controllers though. Ok still damn tired gotta sleep byes.
Chao.

Hey ppl,din post anything in the last few days cuz i was doing up my music playlist for the blog,so was too damn busy editting codes of corrupted music files etc.... Din even have time to drop in a few words ahha....
Now i have a playlist on the blog already! Feel free to press play choosing whichever song you like from there. Its all hip hop and RnB there though. But if you noticed,i placed a notice below that playlist. A playlist for conventional music listeners is coming up! It should basically contain songs that most people would actually listen to more often on the radio,so hopefully people will come to my blog more often just to listen ahha... Still i hope people would listen to the hip hop playlist more la of course,but its your wish really,once that playlist is up... =D
Drop in a dedication in the tagboard about what song you feel should be in the conventional playlist and i'll try my best to find it and add in for you. Gonna make my blog somewhat a music blog for people to enjoy as well,so pls do let me know what songs you want to put in alright? I tink i might have a anime playlist in the future if this blows up big ahha... Hopefully it will and my hit counters will just mushroom... That would be cool! =D
Now that i have the playlists i'm just gonna dedicate songs from it for easy reference... Gone will be the ultra long lyrics or youtube links haha,its all in the hole with this blog! So now lemme just dedicate..........Just dance by lady gaga! Think its still her best single so far,although paparazzi is not too far behind.... You really should get the song from me and listen to it through headphones,cuz you'll totally love it at the bridge right after the 2nd chorus.... The effects of that part would be brought out very nicely with headphones. So please do ask me for it if you wanna try! Though its a little old(any song 2 weeks old is already old to me btw ahha),its still good stuff right there! Ok gotta go mug my econs liao,haven't started one bit yet,so really gotta chiong! See ya jocks!
Chao.

Hey hey ppl. Yes this blog is going official! Like finally man... Took me quite awhile to set this up,but i would have taken even longer without help from berny,so thx buddy!
You might be wondering wth is a Halo fanatic doing toying with a Final Fantasy blogskin. Well to be very honest with you,I do not know. I used it because there is no sutiable Halo blogskin around. And this is the only decent one i found so far that can cover the entire screen,so I used it. Might be an insult to FF fans out there. I'm sorry if thats the case alright?
Apparently the skin came with the imeem player itself,so that was rather convenient.... But I'm probably gonna change the playlist soon. Then I might no longer need to paste lyrics of songs like I did back at my space...
Well my "opening ceremony" is done for now. Gotta mug like crazy for Math promo paper tomorrow,since I failed it for the mid years... Alright see you guys soon,probably after the paper tomorrow...
Oh yes,no song links or lyrics today,gotta jet.
Chao.
