Diary Entry - 8 March 2010 {~Physical Torture~}

2010-03-09T00:45:00.001+08:00

The term is ending. Like, oh it's ending. No comments.

Today was hellish. I seriously forgot to set my alarm clock yseterday night, so instead of waking up at 7AM, I woke up at 7:54AM when Javier called me to ask if I was meeting them. I sprang out of bed, got changed and rushed all the way to Khatib Station, then caught my train. After a bad morning of crazy rushing, I managed to reach school at 8:27AM. Which was not late. Be amazed. But my first period was Physical Education. I almost died. Did a bit of stretching for Sit-and-Reach and running. Standing broad jump was good, nothing else was.

Lessons were quite loose, nothing much, had no lectures, so we just wore our PE attire for the entire day. Tutorials were rather slack, managed to actually chat here and there, and even during breaks. Sort of formed a new Braces Gang, consisting of me, Caressa, Angel (who had braces today, but are removing them tomorrow), Yu Quan (who used to have braces) and Jialing (who is going for braces in about a week's time).

Went home after lessons, things were slack. Managed to catch forty winks and for the first time, I chatted with Sumie on MSN. Learned a lot about their current life and the stuff in Japan right now. Managed to catch K-chan NEWS live.

How I look forward to life in the future. I guess that's what keeps people living.

Good Day.

Diary Entry - 28 February ~ 6 March 2010 {~Normal Days in JC~}

2010-03-06T23:18:00.000+08:00

28 February: Went back to CCHY in the morning wearing the Youth Wing shirt. Went back so early my mum and I did pretty much nothing from 10 to 11. Duncan said 10 though. Well, went to meet the AYW Exco in the new Staff Room. I was the only non-Exco member. Never mind. Went to the hall at 11 to watch the concert, but that was after I ran home to change from shorts to jeans. The concert was quite short, but the VIP were quite cool people. Mr Ong, the Principal of the main school, and even Mr Kwek of NYJC. XD

Slacked around here and there, spoke to many people. Then later I came home to receive an SMS from Mdm Yeo. She asked me to join the AYW Exco. Her real purpose was to ask me to translate English articles into Chinese and be in charge of Chinese cultures. I don't want to have such a lame rank, please give me some administrative work which look more cool.

Started to run a temperature at night. Feeling bad the whole night, took my temperature to get 38.6 degrees. Slept not very early.

1 March: Woke up not feeling exactly very well, 37.5. Wanted to go to school to try to hand in the Council form, which I haven't even gotten. I went all the way to Lorong Chuan, to have a fever at 38 degrees again. So I turned back and went home. Rested at home and totally slacked until the night. Still had a slight fever, but I still completed all the work necessary. Went to see the doctor at night, got myself an MC. Wanted to open the letterbox because JLPT2 results should have been out, but I forgot...

2 March: Went back to school, did pretty much nothing memorable. Japanese class was alright, not that funny, but went to find Suzuki-sensei during break to chat with her about life. Heard that the JLPT2 results were really out by yesterday night. Sadded. Went home to open the letterbox, but the letter wasn't there. Dad took it home and opened it already. Damn. Scored 368/400. :D

3 March: School was quite short today. Had the Scholar's Tea Session, which was quite boring. The things they spoke about, we have heard for like 3 times already. ISLE is compulsory, and no, I'm not going. Went to use the library computers before that, and I checked my Litespeed for Japanese. Had one new private message, so I was really excited. Got it. Second Prize-Winner for Japanese Language Secondary Four 2009. :D Went for Choir practice. I almost died.

4 March: Nothing much too. Life is just quite stressed. Still had Japanese lessons after that. Not exactly very funny, but Japanese classes are enjoyable.

5 March: I can barely remember what happened. Oh yes. Release of 'A' Level results. Had Chemistry practical, then Maths lecture. School ended at 1300, went back to CCHY to visit. Chatted a lot with Mrs Chan. Then also Mrs Choo. Nothing much, slacked around then went home.

6 March: Sports Carnival in NYJC. Woke up at 5:30AM. Damn. Went to Kallang slowly. Reached late, but the rest of the school was late too, so never mind. Maths Trail was quite fun, but tiring. Ran past the bridge for a few times. Reminds me of Soukon. Came in third in timing, we had the highest score when we went in. Ended up we were still third in Maths Trail. Had a lot of class bonding time while waiting. Finished, proceeded to Plaza Singapura to have lunch at Pastamania. Not important. Walked to Bugis Junction to buy drinks (which was rather far) and walked around for a bit before heading home.

Okay, I'm not really in the mood to recall the past week because it was boring. So I shall sign off here.

Good Day~

Diary Entry - 27 February 2010 {~Chinese New Year Hectic Times~}

2010-02-27T20:36:00.000+08:00

I still type 2009 in the date.

Life in JC during Chinese New Year isn't very much smooth and slow. Tutorials and lectures make me sleep. And I can't ever have enough sleep at night. Why can't time just stop at night when I sleep so that I can sleep for 48 hours straight. Was chosen as the GP representative, so I'm in charge of collecting money for Newsweek, and other stuff related to GP. It's funny how I can suck at things like GP and yet be the representative for it. Well, because my CT cum GP tutor, Mrs Too, is a very nice person. Same goes to my CT cum Economics cum Project Work tutor, Mr Oliver.

Went to Mr Ang's house on 20 February with the 2H'07 peeps like usual. Chatted a lot there, random topics. Then went back to Northpoint to have dinner. Reached home rather early, so I slacked my time away.

Did pretty much nothing for the rest of the period. Study, study, more studies. Japanese lessons can be quite fun when we start laughing like possessed people. Made a few new friends from other JCs there. :D

Went back to CCHY on 22 February to help out here and there with the visit of the Japanese Lion Dance guy. Sakai Namiko-san was there, so I didn't have to do translations. Just chatted with the Japanese people there.

Met Suzuki-sensei while going home on Tuesday. She walked really fast, so we had to run up to chat with her. Suzuki-sensei is the best sensei to chat with. Things like JC life, etc.

Wednesday was slacky, so I came home at like 12 to sleep. Slept for like 5 hours straight. I was just that tired, really.

Thursday was fun at MOELC. Laughed like we never had. We felt retarded, but it was fun nonetheless. Rena almost had another heat exhaustion from laughing. Her temperature rose to 37.4 in the air-con room. She removed the thermometer to prevent herself from being sent home for having a fever. XD Two possessed people in class.

Friday was very long. Tutorials for Economics, GP, Mathematics and a Maths lecture. Then there was Alternative Assessment for Chemistry from 3 to 5PM. Then we randomly decided to go for a choir audition. The guy said "Good" at my lower notes, but the higher ones were kind of sad. I just can't sing in that condition. I could sing better during normal singing sessions. He later commented that it didn't sound "very comfortable, but at least you're not off-tune."

No, but I'm not going to join Choir because it has practices on Tuesdays.

Today, went for tightening braces. It's like really tight now. I can feel it. Dr Anna said my brushing for the inside wasn't very good. I don't know, I brush very diligently. I guess it's the toothbrush. Got purple rubber bands today. XD

Came home to sleep. But woke up with a splitting headache and lack of appetite. I'm like dying. XD

Okay, going back to CCHY again tomorrow for some Chinese New Year Alumni thing. No idea what you call it in English. So I shall sign off here.

Good Day.

Diary Entry - 8 to 16 February 2010 {~Chinese New Year~}

2010-02-16T22:10:00.000+08:00

Happy Chinese New Year~ It's the last day of the CNY holidays, school's beginning again tomorrow. Life can be so torturous at times.

8 February: Had a whole day of DISC profiling workshop. Saw my classmates for the first time, my class was 1011. Managed to find out my behaviour, which, like the one I've done less than a year ago, was I/C. Dominant I. Expected from me. Had some activities in our classes, then I had to rush off to MOELC to take my Japanese competency test to decide if I can take H2 Japanese as one of my H2 subjects. Managed to get through it, it was harder than the 'O' Levels, seriously. I did quite well, then I thought.

9 February: School ended rather early, but due to the bunch of notoriously-draggy people who cannot decide where to go after school, we whiled away a lot of time. Went to J8 for Pizza Hut lunch, then wasted more time waiting for nothing so important. Went back to Khatib, Jialing had to go back to CCHY for band, so seeing that it's already 3+PM and that there's no more time for me to sleep, I went back to take a look at CCS. Nothing was going on, people just practising on their own, the teacher wasn't there, only Yu Lan was there with Weifeng. They looked bored, so I sat down and chatted with them for quite some time. Went off to look for Mdm Goh at the hall, since I haven't seen her ever since the O's. Chatted for a bit, she told me that some Japanese people would be visiting the school for an exchange with the school's Lion Dance troupe. Nothing much went on, so I went down to the staff room. Managed to get access into the staff room, and I was looking for Mrs Catherine Chan, but she wasn't around. But I saw Mdm Sue instead, so I went over for a chat. She told me a lot of important things for JC life, so we spent quite some time there. Ended up going back home at 6.

10 February was a rest day, went home so early to sleep.

11 February: Had my first H2 Japanese lesson. College ended early, so I had to while away time in J8 again. Nothing to do, just wasting time and money having lunch at Manhattan. The serving was generous, but I don't like the oil. Went over for Japanese class, ended at 7:30PM. Lessons were rather relaxed and going slow. The sensei looked rather friendly, that's nice.

12 February: Chinese New Year celebrations at NYJC. The concert was short, and ended at 9AM. We rushed off back to CCHY because we had to attend a prize presentation ceremony. Ended up reaching at 10AM instead of 9:45AM which we were told to reach at. Went up to the Lecture Theatre in our JC uniforms, and sat around to take attendance. Prize presentation went on first, so we got to watch the rest of the concert behind. CCHY Alumni rocks. Joined the Youth Wing and got an alumni tee for $15. >_> Went to have Sakae buffet lunch at J8 (AGAIN), had a filling feast stuffing sushi down my mouth. I love sushi. Lunch ended at around 6PM, ate so much I was so bloated. Xueying came over after her lessons, everyone was ready, some went home, while Duncan, Marvin, Xinglai, Lingshan, Xueying and me went to Orchard because Lingshan and Marvin wanted to shop for New Year clothes. Ended up with nothing for Marvin, but a one piece dress for Lingshan and some necklaces shared by the girls. Took a bounce train back to Khatib and reached around 10PM.

13 February: Chinese New Year Eve! Woke up rather early, prepared for some random things here and there. Had nice lunch at home and sat around. Went over to Grandma's place to play a bit of poker cards before we set out for Hotel Intercontinental for our reunion dinner. Had nice food there, although the service was a bit slow due to the number of customers. Walked over to the Kwan Im Tong Hood Cho Temple to pray like usual. Then walked around Bugis, bought a T-Shirt with hood at the Giordano at Bugis Junction before heading home. Spent my countdown in the shower. I came out at 0001. =.=

14 February: Chinese New Year cum Valentine's Day! What a combination. The Chinese New Year mood was so much stronger that I seriously forgot that it was Valentine's Day. Went to my maternal grandma's house in the afternoon. Had lunch there, and talked for a bit. Headed off to my paternal grandma's house later. They played mahjong, while I slept for a few hours straight before dinner. Had dinner, then poker cards again. Managed to get triple 7, but still ended up losing $10. T_T Spent a lot of time trying to take a nice family photo, but ended up with no satisfying results.

15 February: Second day. Slept in and had lunch at home. Headed off to my granduncle's house. Did practically nothing there because I barely had any topics to talk to the relatives about. Stayed until 8+PM because everyone else was chatting away and it was not nice to leave. Left, then visited my grandma's house for the third day in a row to play poker cards and take more family photos. Finally managed to get a satisfying one. Won a bit of bucks here.

16 February: Last day of holidays. Woke up quite early to prepare to go to Mdm Yeo's house. Met at Sembawang, though two people were late by half an hour. Went over to Mdm Yeo's house, played poker cards, again. Managed to win $20+ at first, but because Dad wasn't here to pick me up early because my brother was playing DotA, I lost those money all back and ended up losing $6.50. =.= Shoot. Went to Bugis to find my Aunt, then went to the temple to pray again. Had McDonald's for lunch/dinner, then went home. Completed my Maths tutorial homework for tomorrow, and relaxing now. Tutorials start tomorrow, life is not going to go easy anymore. *sighs*

Wishing everyone a Happy Chinese New Year, and a prosperous new year ahead with loads of good fortune.

Good Day!

Diary Entry - 6 February 2010 {~Happy Birthday to Sakai Izumi of ZARD~}

2010-02-06T21:06:00.000+08:00

坂井泉水さん、お誕生日おめでとうございます！時が経つのが早くて、もう２０１０年になりましたが、天国でいかがお過ごしでしょうか。

Lessons have started proper in school. Orientation was over by 2 February, and I would say that it was fun. Especially the disco night. Reminds me a lot about the CCHY Graduation Night 2009. Without the Academy Awards decorations, but a whole lot more of sweat.

We thought that they would play the song, A Night to Remember, during disco, but no, they didn't, during disco. Instead they played it to accompany their last performance from the 31st Student Council, for their mass dance last year.

Being the very bonded and high Chung Cheng Alumni we are, Marvin, Anna, Lingshan and me went to the back of the hall while everyone was already seated. We started to dance our Graduation Night dance, while the OGLs and the Student Council danced their version. Later I went to pull Jiansheng and Qunjie out to join us. It was crazy but a whole load of CCHY fun.

Then lessons started the next day in NYJC. GP lectures, random talks here and there. They were all lectures for now, tutorials only begin after Chinese New Year. Everyone was okay. Just okay.

Yesterday, my schedule ended at 1100, but I had to stay until 1230 because 1) I cannot leave the school before its "Official Dismissal Time" at 1230, and 2) I had to wait for everyone else who had Biology/Physics lectures.

In the mean time, I did my Chemistry lecture work, and SMSed Duncan to make sure that he came over to Bishan to join all of us for lunch since his school released early too. Xueying didn't have school nor work yesterday, so I asked her to call Lingshan and the rest if they wanted to meet at Junction 8 for lunch together. So it sort of became a 4H'09 lunch @ Junction 8.

They left rather early though, so we just walked around for a bit more before going back. It started pouring when we were on the MRT, so I took it all the way to Northpoint. I wanted to borrow a book from the library, but I couldn't find any good ones for now, so I left empty-handed. <_<

So, why the reading groove? Because I borrowed and read Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac from the library the week before. It was made into a movie in Japan starring Horikita Maki, Matsuyama Kenichi, Tegoshi Yuya and some Caucasian guy. It sounded like a lot of fun, so I borrowed the book and read it. It was an awesome read because the plot was full of twists and turns. I'm really anticipating the movie right now, but it's not going to come out anytime soon. Especially the DVD.

Today's a free Saturday, went out to Northpoint in the morning, went to find Mr Goh at Burger King for nothing, then went shopping for New Year goods. Chinese New Year in one week!

Good Day!

もう学校が始まったか．．．

2010-01-29T00:30:00.000+08:00

真夜中なのに、突然日本語で何かを書きたくなって、ここにきました。

今までも信じられません。学校がもう始まったことを。Oレベルが終わったのは二ヶ月ぐらい前でしたね。この二ヶ月、いろんなことをしたとは言えないと思います。だいたい家にいるばかり、コンピューター使ったり、テレビ見たりして、実際にしたことはあまりなかったね。

昨日まではオーチャードでぶらぶらしていたが、今日から休みは終わりました。これからは高校生になって、忙しい生活を送っていくでしょうかね。

中学校ももう記憶に残して、今はもう中学生じゃない。チョンチェンの学生じゃない。なんか、すごく悲しい。

毎日会っていた友達も会えなくなって、人との別れはつらいですよね。そして親切でやさしかった先生たちにも会えなくなって、もう先生たちの授業にいられないなんて、悲しい。

突然、そう思ってしまいます。でもこのままじゃダメだね。これからも頑張っていきたいと思います。

皆さん、よろしくね。

Good Day.

Diary Entry - 28 January 2010 {~First Day of School~}

2010-01-28T22:34:00.000+08:00

Without noticing anything, school officially started. Got our posting results on the 27th, and first day of school is today, 28 January. That's like super fast.

Until the 27th we were still walking around Orchard aimlessly, chatting all the way along Orchard station to City Hall station, not spending any money, just walking.

Then this morning we met at 0645 at Khatib MRT to school. In CCHY uniform. I'm proud to be wearing it even after 4 years of wearing it everyday. I don't know, but I love Chung Cheng High Yishun. It's a fabulous place with loads of fabulous people. And we met one of the most fabulous teachers, Mr Lee, at the platform. He alighted to go to school while we boarded to also go to school. >_>

First day was expectedly boring. Orientation, and it's for 4 days. We sat on the ground to listen to talks for the whole morning. Played random games with random people which I do not know at all, then did some crazy dance steps which we have to do on the last night. What?

We're going to Sentosa tomorrow for the orientation. And I just selected my subject combination. 4 H2s, Japanese, Chemistry, Mathematics and Economics. These are what I think will help me in the long run, since I have not decided on what to do.

My dental appointment was postponed to this Saturday. My brother would visit the dentist with me because he has a decayed tooth.

Oh, I forgot to mention that we went to Chongwei's Mum's company's bungalow this past week from 18 January to 22 January. It was quite fun, but boring at times too. The movie in the karaoke room, the random biking, night cycling, seaside talks, TV watching (that's like lame anyways), BBQ... Alright, nothing's so special about it, but it was still fun. Oh yes, I remember a fun thing called Left 4 Dead 2, which we played at the LAN shop at Elias Mall. It was a whole load of fun killing zombies. Especially when you play it with friends and start shouting for help. XD

Then there's more orientation, more stress from school coming at me really soon. I hope I can cope with it. Just the thought of it and I feel like I'm going to crumble. *sighs*

Life seems gone. For long.

Good Day.

Diary Entry - 11 January 2009 {~Results Revealed~}

2010-01-12T02:10:00.000+08:00

Finally, the day has come to get our GCE 'O' Levels result slips. I managed to sleep last night somehow, but this morning was torturous. I couldn't sit still at all.

Ended up reaching the school hall quite late despite all that, everyone was quite seated, so I joined our class at the last row. XD Everyone else was right in front before Miss Kaur's table, while Mrs Choo walked around our class. She told us that "If your name is called out later, stand up and go up. Don't make them keep calling your name."

So 1400 hours came and Mr Ong started showing us our school's performances for the O's last year. It was quite a long wait before the text "Outstanding Performers" appeared on the screen. Then it showed a table with 6 rows. Then my name appeared on the top row, with 8 A1s and 2 A2s. Next were Joping, Qunjie, Sheryl, Qiguang and then Chongwei. These were the 6 A1s and above. So we went up in order to get our result slips from Mr Ong personally and get our photos taken.

The next slide said "Top Student" and my name appeared. I did it. Although I didn't get 10 A1s like I foolishly hoped to, but I shall learn to be content with whatever I have. I got A2s for Biology and Higher Chinese. I don't know why I got an A2 for Biology anyway. But I didn't expect that I would get A1s for English and Combined Humanities instead.

The 6 of us were then called down to take photos with Mr Ong while Mr Ong talked to me for a bit while walking down. He also told me, Qunjie and Joping that he has faxed our phone numbers to the press in case they want to interview us by phone. Somehow the photos are currently on the school website.

I really thank all my teachers who have put in so much effort to help us win this war. Mrs Choo Poh Poh, Miss Manvinder Kaur, Mr Goh Ching Poh, Mr Lee Kah Chin, Mdm Connie Yeo, Mdm Goh Bee Hong, Mrs Ang Lee Boon, Mdm Sue Chuay Hong and Suzuki Misako-sensei. There's also Miss Fanny See whom I did call and inform about my results in the hall.

Called my parents in the hall and informed them about it, then I also SMSed my aunt. We later went out to Eatzi to have lunch, when Dad told me that aunt would be treating us to dinner. So after lunch, I went home, got changed, and went out for dinner at Novena Square. Had a nice dinner. :D And I also received monetary rewards from my Aunt and Grandma, thank you~

Well, my Mum promised me some too, but I haven't gotten them, and won't be getting them soon, so... XD

After dinner was Haagen Daz ice cream. Seriously, it was my first time having it. Although I had a bad cough, which had gotten worse after fried chicken lunch and ice cream after dinner, I enjoyed the meals. :D It's sort of a dream come true for me. Thank you everyone who has helped me in one way or another.

Alright, I shall sleep now, it's 2AM, and we're going to NYJC's Open House tomorrow morning. I don't know why we are actually going there since we've already spent 2 days there, but we'll just walk around then go home, I think, I hope.

Alright now, I shall go rest already. Good Day everyone! :D :D :D

Diary Entry - 1 January 2010 {~Happy New Year! あけましておめでとう！~}

2010-01-01T01:00:00.000+08:00

My first post for the year 2010! Ended up that no one was going out, or at least I didn't, so I just counted down to this year sitting on the sofa watching TV. What a way to celebrate a new year. But let's hope that this year is fruitful for everyone! *applause*

Nothing on for New Year's Day, I'll see if I should slack at home or go out somewhere to chill, but I'm going out on the 2nd to Grandma's place, then chalet on the 3rd! This week may be a bit busy here and there, but I'm looking forward to it!

新年の初めてのエントリーなので、日本語でも書きたいと思います！あけましておめでとう！本当に時が経つのが速すぎますね。アッという間に２０１０年になって、僕も１７歳に近づいているようです。新しい年にいいことたっぷり経験させてもらいたいなと思っています。みんな、今年もよろしく！

まあ、学校も多分一ヶ月間で始まるので、新しい学校、期待してますね。新しい環境、新しい生活、なんかお楽しみにしてます。成績も後わずか１週間半ぐらい。

まあね、今年も日本語の勉強、ガンガンうまくなりたいと思っています。それでは、新しい年にたっぷり、思いっきり楽しもうぜ！

2009-12-31T18:00:00.000+08:00

まあ、なんと、今日も更新できるというか、家で何のすることもないので、更新しています。

今年に最後のエントリーになると思いますが、今年は色々大変だったね。来年も簡単には過ごせないと思いますが、みんなで頑張ろう。

なんか、大晦日なのに、僕は４時間も昼寝もした。本当になんのすることもないし、ゲームもないし、まあ、家ではみんながいるみたいですけどね。兄も出かけないし、珍しいな．．．

来年からは．．．何の目標を持てばいいのでしょうか。もっともっといい人になることにするか、勉強についてもっと頑張ることにするか、今はわかりません。

今年も残るわずかな６時間。あと１５分で第６０回NHK紅白歌合戦が始まるようです。今年も楽しみにしています。しかし、明日か明後日までは見られないと思うので、待ちます。

まあ、なんのすることもないので、何かを探してみます。それで、ここで書き終わります。今年の最後はこれですまないが、誰も読んでいないので大丈夫かな。

それでは、来年がいい年になりますように、みんながいる世界をみんなでもっと素晴らしい場所にしましょう。

Good Day~!

Diary Entry - 30 December 2009 {~あと一日~}

2009-12-31T02:21:00.000+08:00

いよいよあと一日で２００９年の終わりだな．．．今年は勉強ばかりしてて．．．まあ、勉強はあまりしてなかったんだけど、結構つまらない年だったね。

去年よりは全然面白くもなかったな。来年はいい年になりますように、心を込めてお祈りいたします。何でもうまくいけるように。

しかもね、あと二週間ぐらいでOレベルの成績が公開されるということで、緊張緊張！！！とにかく全部A1だったらいいなと思っているので、できればそれがいいね。

まあ、将来は多分日本語と関係のある仕事をするつもりなので、進路はなんだか決めています。翻訳者や大使館で働きたいと思っている。頑張ろうね！

明日は年の最後ということですけど、何の予定もない。誰かと出かける予定が全然ありません。何でかな。みんな仕事とか、くだらないことで忙しいというか、暇じゃないということで、多分一人で年をあけることになるでしょうね。淋しい！！！

クリスマスイヴは男三人で、クリスマスの日は一人ぼっち。年をあけるのも一人かよ．．．

といっても、明日の朝からは両親の学校で手伝うことになって、朝７時起きということで．．．面倒くさい~せめて１０時まで眠らせてくれよ．．．何か、夜に予定がありますように。

まあ、もう結構遅いので、ここで書き終わります。明日は多分更新しないとおもうので、ここで皆さん、あけましておめでとうございます！２０１０年が皆さんにとってすごくいい年になりますように、みんなで新しい年に頑張ってね！

Good Day!

Diary Entry - 26 December 2009 {~Metal Bands~}

2009-12-27T03:34:00.000+08:00

They have successfully set into my mouth already. Now I have hands and legs which cannot move very conveniently, and a mouth that feels stuck. Metal wires don't taste that well.

And they are scratching my lips. I hope I get used soon, but brushing is a chore. Brushing teeth takes me about 15 minutes to brush, interdental brush, and rinse. That's a lot of work.

My next appointment is in January, after receiving my results. My results are coming so soon, I can't believe it. I hope I get awesome results.

Then there's also the 4H'09 chalet next Sunday. Full of things to do, I'm resting at home nicely for the next few days. :D

Nothing much to write, because I'm sleepy, and I want to sleep to forget my wounds and metal bands.

I shall sign off now. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 25 December 2009 {~Merry Christmas!~}

2009-12-26T00:32:00.000+08:00

Merry Merry Christmas! Okay, it's already over.

Went out yesterday on the Eve with Qunjie and Chongwei to visit Duncan's family chalet in the morning. Supposed to meet at 10am at Northpoint, beside Starbucks. But I received an SMS at 10:02am from Qunjie who told me that he just woke up. So I ended up waiting at Northpoint with Chongwei while peeking at someone who was watching the latest episode of Bleach in Starbucks. XD

Took a bus to Duncan's chalet. Decided to go for lunch at McDonald's, then go cycling after the rain stops. We did, and rented an hour of bike. But that was not a very good idea. Just as we were heading back to the shop, there was a rather steep turn, and the ground was wet from the rain. I steered, lost balance, tried to break and stand firm, but the bike skidded off along the puddle and caught me. I fell, splashed into the puddle and grazed my elbow and knees. That was bad.

Went back to the chalet and played some card games with the guys and Duncan's sister and cousin. Then Chongwei had to go so we sent him off to some traffic light. Went back, rested for a while and decided to get ready for the barbecue. Duncan started the fire and we ate a lot of stuff. Duncan's family were all very friendly, it was a fun Christmas Eve... if I didn't fall. XD Thanks Duncan anyways.

Then we worried over the last train and bus, so we left at around 11:30PM. We walked to the bus stop, but the last bus just ran away. So we headed back to the MRT Station, and there, we sort of cheered for Christmas because we passed 12AM there. Then we started sending and receiving Christmas greetings from everyone. Took a long train trip back to Yishun. Qunjie then told me that the last bus is gone, so I had to walk home with my injury. But it turns out that the bus that takes me home was still in service when I reached home. >_>

I opened my letterbox to find a whole stack of advertisement booklets from the various polytechnics and random letters. I also received a Christmas card from Sumie (my host family's mother) who is in Perth right now.

So I took a painful shower and went to bed at around 4am after watching Soukon.

Today was boring, so I slept until 1:45PM to wake up for lunch. Today's my last day with bare teeth in two years or so, so I ate a lot of stuff. Getting my metal bands on tomorrow morning, so I've got to sleep earlier tonight. To do so, I shall sign off right now.

Good Day~ And have a nice New Year!

Diary Entry - 16 December 2009 {~The Week Before Christmas~}

2009-12-16T22:13:00.000+08:00

Happening~ Today was the first appointment for the metal bands at ToofDoctor at Tanjong Pagar. Recommended by my aunt, that place was good. Had a simple check today, had 2 X-rays and was made to make the mold for the study model by biting into some blue plasticine-like material. Don't ask me what they are, I have no idea.

Next appointment is this Saturday, 19 December 2009. I'll be seeing Dr. Anna Tang, the orthodontist to determine how many teeth to extract, before seeing the dentist, Dr. Choy again to do filling, extraction and cleaning on the same day. Then one week later on 26 December, the day right after Christmas, metal bands would come into play. Then one and a half to two years later, say goodbye to messiness and metal bands, and say hello to a new smile. :D

This is the shocking thing I heard today though, I don't know if that's normal, but the dentist, after looking at my X-ray, told me that I have 4 wisdom teeth. At all 4 corners. I don't know why people have wisdom teeth, but I would be happy to find out that the wiser someone is, the more wisdom teeth they have. Because that means I'm wise, but it's okay. There's no telling when they will grow out of my gum, but for now I'll just proceed with the metal bands. They may come out nicely after my teeth are fixed. If not I'll just have to extract them and waste a bit of money.

Going to Sentosa next week, or so they told me. I hope I don't look bad with two lost teeth. I'm really hoping that I do not need to extract any on the upper jaw because Dr. Choy told me that the spacings on my upper jaw are large, so I might not need to extract any. I'm hoping Dr. Anna says the same thing. Then I can save $120 and the pain. :D

Well, extracting 2 teeth are better than extracting all of them, like what my Mum did just a few weeks ago to make her dentures. She's currently left with 1 tooth.

Anyways, I really have to thank my Grandma for sponsoring me with $3K as an advanced 21st birthday present. I know it sounds weird, but she was preparing to find me a platinum necklace for my 21st birthday 5 years ahead. Since she gave my brother a necklace worth $2750, she said she would sponsor $3K. Dad will be made to pay the rest of the involved costs.

Instead of getting a necklace for my 21st birthday, I'm getting a proper set of teeth. How cool is that? XD And I was telling everyone, that I chose 2 years of physical discomfort over a lifetime of psychological one. I will stand by this view. :D

Anyways, I'll go entertain myself now. Waiting for people to come online.

Good Day~

Diary Entry - 11 December 2009 {~4H'09 Class Outing~}

2009-12-12T01:58:00.000+08:00

Went out yesterday to find Qunjie after his work at a hellish restaurant. Seems like the restaurant really sucked. Never mind.

We ate at Pizza Hut, where we had Students' Special, $5.90++ for a pizza, soup and so-called free flow of Pepsi. Well, we only had two glasses. It was amazing though, that we sat in there for like 2 and a half hours just chatting about all sorts of things under the sun, and laughed like hell. I think the Pizza Hut staff must be very pissed off. XD

And today, I woke up early to go out for a class outing. Anna took much effort organizing it, so we went. Agreed to meet at Yishun MRT at 1015, but Duncan reached at... slightly later than 1030? XD And we were supposed to reach Ang Mo Kio MRT by 1030. Well, we were late by 20 minutes or so, but no one cared. Bought tickets to A Perfect Getaway and went for brunch at Pepper Lunch. First time having it, it was okay. :D

The movie was painful. The scenes were shot well, because the injuries looked really painful in the show. Ouch. The plot was full of twist and turns, but it was quite confusing at the end because of the excessive twists. Well, understood it though.

Then we came out, went to Safra Yishun to have karaoke session. The same 5 guys, roughly the same few songs, just a few new (???) songs for me. I don't know if they were there the last time I went though, but it was super cool. That I was looking for songs in the "Other Group Artists" section in the Japanese song section, and there were Doing All Right by Garnet Crow, Miso Soup by Tegomass, and under the Male Artists section was Yamapi, with Daite Senorita. And they were from the original PVs, instead of some made up PVs of people standing around in busy streets or looking at the sea. So it was fun singing them~!!!

And of course, 2 ZARD songs, Kimi ni Aitaku Nattara and Mou Sagasanai. Well, I sang Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku too, but the song was supposed to be Field of View's. Duncan apparently knew the song too because it was from Dragonball GT. :D Should have tried Don't You See! too.

Oh well, spent quite a bit of money here and there, but it was interesting. Wouldn't be spending too much this holidays again I think.

But I did a good thing yesterday. I was at the MRT station waiting for Marvin, who was late. Rather, we agreed to meet at 1330, but the bus was slow so I reached at 1345 or something. He was even later, he reached at like 1400. And just like a minute or so before he reached, this promoter came to me and told me that she was asking for donations to some disabled society. And it was $10. That's a lot, and being the kind self I am, I gave it to her and got this ticket thing for nothing. Well, there was a serial number, so I'm going to ask Mum to buy 4D. LOL. So, if Marvin were to have come 2 minutes or so earlier, I would have saved $10. But who knows, it's good to do good deeds. >_>

Going to Grandma's house tomorrow. Another random day out~ I'll sit around and sleep or play with my computer tomorrow. I shall sign off now.

Good Day~

Diary Entry - 9 December 2009 {~お久しぶり~}

2009-12-10T02:23:00.000+08:00

Dear blog, sorry to have neglected you for almost a month now. I did sign in after Graduation Night to try to post about it, but the photo uploader failed to appease me so I just closed the whole damn thing out of irritation. And my life, like usual, was awfully plain despite the freedom I'm supposed to be having right now. So well, I'm here to post.

I'll try to upload the Graduation Night photos in the next entry if the damn photo uploader does work. In the mean time, I'll just talk about what happened since my last post. When was it anyways? *checks blog*

Okay, I stopped right after 'O' Levels, I see. What happened after that? I went out with the guys to shop for Graduation Night ~~equipments~~ clothes. Well, I had the things I needed, I just bought a pair of man-made leather shoes and a pair of trousers to fit the requirements. >_>

Well, the shopping was draggy and the results didn't turn out very well. We kept going into extravagant shops where there are things we can't afford. So there.

Graduation Night was fun, all the random events. Getting a super lame Colours Award for what I do not know. Then apparently one of the awardees was confirmed to be down with H1N1 on that very day, so everyone had to wash hands. Well, who cares.

(Oh, by the way, I stopped typing for like 30 seconds just now because I heard some knocking sounds around the place. I stopped my music to listen, and realised that it was a stupid motor bike downstairs which failed terribly in starting its engine. LOL)

Next. Graduation Night was fun, yes. Danced and jumped around like crazy. Well I always was, so it was okay. Took photos with many people. Rather, I took photos mainly with the few that I don't talk so much with frequently, and none with the guys if I remembered. I don't have any photos with them.

Then at the end, there was a strong feeling of loneliness and sadness towards the school and everyone in it. 4 years just passed by in a flash, everyone grew up so much from who they used to be. Life just goes on.

Went out to watch 2012 on a Sunday I think. I started having a cough on the Saturday night, so I was quite suffering while watching. It was a nice movie nonetheless. But I coughed throughout just like how I did for Bolt last year. Then I came home to have a shower. As expected, I went down with a fever of around 38.5 degrees Celsius. The next day, it sort of went up to 39.1 at one point, so it was quite bad. Managed to survive the fever though. I went to see the doctor on a Tuesday I think, and he barely spoke to me for 3 minutes. Then I went out to take my medicine and paid him. $28. Then I went for lunch then went home.

Miracle was, my fever went down totally after just paying him. I haven't even taken the damn medicine. My doctor has reached a newer level of medicine. Wow.

Then I've been at home until now. I haven't seen any of the guys at all, I've only been going out with my parents to Northpoint or EXPO sales. Playing a lot of computer, etc.

Took some DVDs from my brother to watch. Nostalgic degree 120%, Yu Yu Hakusho. I only watched the Dark Tournament section, and I couldn't remember some parts, but remember some more dramatic parts. It was like 6 and a half years since I watched it on TV! How nostalgic. Actually, Yu Yu Hakusho was probably the main reason why I started taking up Japanese Language because I loved the songs so much. "Homework ga Owaranai", "Sayonara Bye Bye", "Unbalance na Kiss wo Shite", and of course, "Hohoemi no Bakudan". The me at that time couldn't read a single word of Japanese but now I'm around JLPT2. Isn't time just amazing?

Talking about that, yes, I've taken my JLPT2 last Sunday at Singapore Management University. It was in a seminar room. I didn't study. I skipped the practice sessions in MOELC because of Graduation Night preparation, and I couldn't print the materials. I read a bit online, but the vocabulary list was so darn long. I read from A to KA, and from there, I made use of 2 words in the exams itself. The rest are mysteries, but I made various correct guesses. The paper was fine!

And I've joined this K-chan NEWS Subbing Team as a translator in training. Somehow I began listening to K-chan NEWS too because it's a whole lot of fun. There are reasons why certain radio shows can continue on for 4 years or so, right? Master Hits, K-chan NEWS, both are great. I'll try to do subtitles for videos as well, but right now I'll start with simpler stuff. I can get really pissed keep doing subs.

Anyways, after cooping up at home for over 2 weeks, I'm finally going out to catch a breather tomorrow! That is, I'm going to find Qunjie at where he works to accompany him during his break. Apparently he hates his waiter job at Velocity, and he has a 4 hour break between lunchtime and dinnertime. And no one's working with him tomorrow, so I'll go with Marvin to accompany him through 4 hours of boredom. We're great friends, eh? Thank me if you see this. XD

And Friday's 4H'09 class outing. Going to watch some movies, then some other stuff afterwards. I have no idea what.

I'm starting to speak like I'm hosting a radio show. K-chan NEWS overdose. I listened too much.

I'll try to sleep now. It's not early already. Good Day~

Diary Entry - 14 November 2009 {~It's Finally Over!~}

2009-11-14T12:45:00.002+08:00

Right, it's over. What we've been studying 4 whole years for, it's over.

And now I'm feeling a bit empty because there's nothing much to do. XD It's like I've lost the meaning in life after feeling pressurized for a year or so.

Anyways, came home yesterday and all the trunking for the new phone line was all over the place. The double-sided tape was crappy and the trunking fell from the walls. So spent my time after my 'O' Levels fixing phone line trunking like the lifeless me does.

Then I slept, and went out later in the evening to catch Jennifer's Body. It was like, lame. Really lame. The plot was ridiculous. She eats flesh and she can hover. And she pukes out crude oil. Yucks.

After that was KFC for dinner and we came home. On my way home, this guy at the bus interchange came asking me "Hello Sir. Are you studying or working?"

Which meant that I've reached the age to be doubted as a worker? I'm old already. XD

Anyways, going out later again for an interview for my part-time job at Udders. Yes, mr brother's teacher's ice cream shop. I hope most of us get hired.

Alright, I'm going to rest and eat something now. I'll update again later today I think. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 11 November 2009 {~1111~}

2009-11-11T01:43:00.002+08:00

No, don't be mistaken, I didn't just put the subtitle as 1111 because it's 11 November. Alright, it has passed 12am so it IS 11 November 2009 right now, but that's not all to the subtitle.

Because, yesterday, rather, 10 November 2009, we took the Higher Chinese 'O' Levels paper. Indeed, I was pretty well prepared for the paper. What's so great about it? It's paper number is 1111. What a coincidence, but it was held one day early. We took 1111/1 and 1111/2. What a nice number, it's tell me that I'm going to get an A1 for it.

Anyways, that aside, it's after all, 11 November 2009. ということで、手越くん、お誕生日おめでとうございます~ Yes, it is the birthday of Tegoshi Yuuya of NEWS and Tegomass. Well, I just watched ItteQ today though, it was fun, but Tegoshi didn't pretty much utter a word. He just kept laughing at others' misfortune. XD

Well, yesterday alone had 3 papers. We're down to 2 MCQ papers for Sciences. Chemistry and Biology. Physics is all over now, which means that it's time for Mr Lee to rest until next year's war. He has put in a lot of effort in the past 2 years and is indeed the most caring teacher in the school.

Biology and Chemistry Paper 2 were manageable, so I hope I can perfect the two MCQs so that I get my 10 A1s for the O's. Well, I'm not that confident with English, Combined Humanities and Higher Chinese though. I hope I can get A1s for all of them and satisfy my own wild thoughts. Because it isn't very impossible, and it's only possible for me in the school. So I must try hard. :D

Alright now, the rest is up to the Cambridge markers. I hope the love my essays and answers. Please give me the A1s. :D

Signing off now, I'm sleeping soon. Good Day. :D

Diary Entry - 31 October 2009 {~Happy Halloween~}

2009-10-31T21:43:00.002+08:00

Well, it's Halloween. Somehow, I never celebrated it anyways.

Mugging very badly for Social Studies now, and I'm falling asleep without even completing any one chapter! Holy bull crap. I'm going to die. I hope I somehow can remember some facts here and there and link all my points correctly. Venice is so long. I can spend my whole life just remembering the RISE of Venice. What about the FALL? And there's globalization. I'm still short of the strategies. Going to study them tomorrow, together with some Iraq & Kuwait things, as well as Deterrence and Diplomacy. Time is so tight

But one great and awesome thing happened today! Or rather, yesterday, but I only got to know about it today.

That was, Massu read my mail on Master Hits! It was one I sent in quite long ago, I didn't send any this week. That mail was at least 3 to 4 weeks ago. Well~ He read it. And I did ask him to come over to Singapore when he's free to play. He said he wanted to see the Merlion and the Night Safari.

Well, because my question to him was to ask him what he would do if he won 10 million yen in a lucky draw. He said to buy loads of clothes, eat high-class sushi and come to Singapore (because I asked him to).

That made my day. :D Anyways, I shall embed the videos here. They were recordings posted as videos on YouTube. Thanks to ozbeef2008 for uploading every week.

Decided to make it small because the image is still. That was the whole show this week. My mail was at the end of the first part, continuing into the start of the second part.

Enjoy the whole show this week! Quite a lot of random noises because it was a radio show. Enjoy nonetheless. :D :D :D

I shall go read some more Venice. Good Day!

Diary Entry - 29 October 2009 {~4 Days Over~}

2009-10-29T22:28:00.002+08:00

Left with 11 papers I think. Around two weeks more till we conquer the papers.

Next week sounds really tolling, with the 3 heavy content subjects being tested on each day. Fortunately, on different days. Social Studies and Chemistry on Monday, Physics and Geography on Wednesday and Biology on Friday. Well, this weekend's reserved for Social Studies, next Tuesday's for Geography and next Thursday Biology. I hope I manage to remember the facts and know how to write them nicely.

I'm really aiming for 10 A1s. No joke. Well, Miss Kaur did say that even if you suck at Humanities, there are cases of people managing to clinch an A1 for it. So I shall try hard.

English was over. I'm not very easy about it. Well, the comprehension was alright, my composition didn't seem really good because the inspirations just did not come like during my two Prelims. I wrote a very lame story and I didn't really have enough time to plan. I hope I can get an A1 for English. Really hope.

E-Maths was simple, I'm quite confident of getting an A1 for it. A-Maths Paper 1 was today. I made a very very very stupid mistake because I didn't have enough blood in my brain or something. Apparently I wrote 0 x X^2 = X^2. Shit. That's like 3 marks gone. And the other one about the radioactive material looks like another 2 marks gone. I'm left with 75/80 at most for my Paper 1. I hope I still get an A1 and for that, I'm going to do better for Paper 2.

But I'm still not studying. I don't know where to study. I understand the topics, so it's up to application of the skills. I hope I have 120% form tomorrow to score an A1.

Next week sounds really bad. The last week is alright, with only the Higher Chinese Papers being a bit threatening, I hope I can do well for Higher Chinese too. *prays hard*

I can't imagine what to do starting from 9:00am, 13 November 2009. The last battle, Chemistry Paper 1, multiple choice questions. And I don't know what I can do until I get my results next year. I hope for something good to happen. Apparently my life is kind of shitty, and I think it will remain shitty.

Let me get the A1s, please. XD I'm quite paranoid. Very paranoid, and I'm going nuts typing nonsense right now.

To end this post, let's watch a video. Sunadokei by Tegomass. Xueying asked me to translate the lyrics, and I did. And I found that this song is great too, so enjoy.

Alright, I shall go read a bit on A-Maths. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 16 October 2009 {~'O' Levels Chapter 1 Closed~}

2009-10-16T19:44:00.002+08:00

Japanese is officially over. No more Japanese 'O' Levels papers. :D JC Japanese sounds hard, I'll try hard too then. >_>

The papers were quite fine. Manageable, I could do most, if not all, of the questions, and the compositions were okay too. Just that it was great trouble waking up at 5.30am and 6am to rush to the examination venues.

And guess what, I ran into Jane this morning on the MRT train. Haha. What a coincidence. She was taking it to school and me, to Bishan. And we just happened to be standing at the same door. LOL.

More papers are coming and it's quite sad because I still am not studying. My life is quite stupid. When thinking of what to do in the future, I really didn't know. What do I like? Nothing. Big problem here. No motivation, no work, no results. Shit.

English Papers are next on the 26th. 10 days from now and it's kinda shitty. I think I will flunk English because I can never score well for English anyhow I try. It's disgusting.

Never mind. I'm thinking of doing Physics today. But I get tired easily over Physics papers. Damn. I'm going to die.

Moving on to lighter topics. Waiting for Master Hits again to be uploaded tomorrow. And ItteQ coming Monday or something. In the meantime, I'm quite stuck on this very dramatic song again by Garnet Crow, from their newest album, Stay ~夜明けのSoul~. It's called Hello Sadness, apparently with reference to this book of the same name by a French author Sagan. The PV is beautiful and the one I found has awesome quality. Dramatic like usual. Enjoy, Hello Sadness.

Alright, I shall sign off now. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 3 October 2009 {~Mid-Autumn Festival~}

2009-10-04T01:58:00.002+08:00

Or so it was called. Not exactly though. Well...

Woke up late this morning for Physics remedial... It started at 8am and I woke up and checked my phone, 08:03am. =.= Rushed out and reached there like 10 to 15 minutes later. Well, it wasn't going to start anytime soon anyways.

Did pretty well for the second Physics Mock paper. Quite satisfied. Then came home and slept for a while before going out to Northpoint to buy something for Aunt's house warming cum birthday party.

Reached there and it was something like Chinese New Year, except that there was a lack of red packets going round.

The catering service was scheduled to come at around 6pm. Yes, it was, 6pm of 4 October. Aunt forgot to check her receipt or something, so when something went wrong, the fastest they could get there food there was like 7+ or 8pm. I had to leave early to go for the 2H'07 Mid-Autumn gathering.

Wasn't much anyways. Just lit a few candles and sparked off some fireworks. Was really short and had to go home really soon. Well, it was raining until rather late, so lighting candles in the open was a no-no. The winds were killing all the candles in no time. Qunjie didn't manage to complete his project, that was quite sad. I just sat around and looked rather blank I guess.

Then came home and played two rounds of very disappointing DotA games. Never mind about that.

きっと明日はsunny day!

Or so goes Tegomass's song.

Well, one more week of school before the 2 weeks self study session and then the big O. Not very easy, but not very hyped up as well. I pray that I can do well and that's all my mind allows me to do.

Anyways, it's late and I'm going to watch Detective Conan. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 26 September 2009 {~Busy Busy~}

2009-09-27T02:32:00.002+08:00

Mock exams are bad. Seriously.

Like, I'm stuck in some either freezing or roasting hall and forced to complete some random papers from the randomest place. Really, who has the mood to answer them?

Which explains my lousy results for the Physics paper because I crapped through it. Ever seen anyone wanting to kill himself during a Biology paper? Yes, that happened too. >_>

My whole life seems like it is like in some ruins. I can't make up anything from my life that is exactly successful. I don't know is it because I want too much and I can't get all that, but I still feel that my life is quite a failure. And I almost typed "my love is quite a failure" because I was listening to Kushami by Tegomass, and the part "Oh Love Love Love Love Love Love Love" came out. Never mind. Either way, the sentence is still correct. :D

Let's see. Less a month to go before we are struck by total fear and despair. I feel like killing myself. Or maybe, just die while I'm asleep. That sounds good. Like then I can be so free just roaming around the underworld. I'm bored. Totally. Gaaaah.

And no Master Hits this week yet. Tell me that someone's going to upload it this week too. I want to listen to the randomest stuff by Massu~ LOL.

Alright, I shall sign off here. Good Day.

臼井儀人先生へ、ご冥福を祈りいたします。

2009-09-21T01:59:00.002+08:00

The author of the hit manga and anime Crayon Shinchan, Usui Yoshihito-sensei, has been confirmed to be the male body found at the foot of the Arafune Mountain cliff. He has fallen down during his hiking trip, and the day was estimated to be 11 September this year.

とても不幸だが、臼井先生はこんなに早く天国へ戻りましたが、クレヨンしんちゃんはいつでも、子供たち、そして皆さんの心に生き続けます。皆さんに笑いをくれる何よりも面白くて、かけがえのない漫画だと思います。この期間、ずっとクレヨンしんちゃんに通して皆さんに幸せを下さっていて、本当にどうもありがとうございました。これからも、天国でずっと世界中の子供たちを見守っていてください。

ご冥福を心から祈りいたします。本当にどうもありがとうございました。

Diary Entry - 18 September 2009 {~Prologue to Disaster~}

2009-09-19T02:37:00.002+08:00

Once more. Mock exams starting next week. Which implies more lunch in school or outside. And loads of writing to do. Crap.

Got back my Japanese results yesterday. Not very excellent, 86.5. I'm hoping to get another mark or at least a fraction of a mark because one question seriously has a problem. It was in the listening. Don't remind me, I just hope I get the mark.

And Mrs Ang as agreed to moderate the results for the whole level's combined humanities such that we all get one grade up. So now, I get an A2 for Combined Humanities for Prelims 2, and an average of 70 marks, another A2 for Prelims average. My Higher Chinese got an A1, and A2 for average. Hope to get an A2 for English too, quite possible because the Composition results were quite high this time round.

Either way, I'm having an L1R5 of 7 for the Prelim 2, and 8 for average. Quite some improvement I would say, I shall work hard. Of course, 6 is my goal and I'm just one grade away. If 'O' Levels are like Prelim 2, then I think it'll be awesome. >_>

Waiting for Master Hits recording to be uploaded tomorrow. And we're dining out tomorrow because it was Dad's birthday on the 16th. Food.

Alright now, it's almost 3 and the weather was great. I can sleep well now. Good Day!

Diary Entry - 16 September 2009 {~Back with Results & More~}

2009-09-16T21:42:00.002+08:00

Been away for a week or so. Not really away. Just had not been blogging because there was nothing to write about.

Let's review my Prelims 2 results then. Well, like how the trend always goes, the results I receive on the first day usually are better than those I get on the second day.

English Language: 31/50 (Paper 2) [Well, it seems bad, but apparently it's actually quite good. I was one of the 3 who passed Comprehension. >_>]
Higher Chinese: 160/200 [The first time I actually got an A1 for Upper Secondary Higher Chinese. 80% on top of that. First time I got a 60 plus for my Composition, and 77/90 for Paper 1.]
Elementary Mathematics: I forgot, but it's something 80 plus. Not very good because there are many better.
Additional Mathematics: 73/100 [Yes, the killer paper 1 and random paper 2. Didn't manage to pull it up to an A1.]
Biology: 86/100 [Not bad I suppose.]
Chemistry: 85/100 [Topped, somehow.]
Physics: 84/100 [Not well done. There is a 90.]
Combined Humanities: 66/100 [A B3, somehow.]
-Social Studies: 31/50 [Apparently it's like top 6 or something.]
-E.Geography: 35/50 [Sad]

Only left with my Japanese results. I guess we should get them back tomorrow. I hope I top this year. Please allow me to. And let my results pull up my percentage too.

Well, and the something "more" mentioned in the title...

Tada! Mock Exams timetable starting from next week all the way. This is goodness crappy holy shit. It looked like a periodic table with the boxes and crammed words. It's almost up till 5pm every single day. *smacks head*

I shall try my best.

Moving on to less stressful topics, which are well, non-existent.

Managed to get NEWS' concert videos, and I watched a few already. Well, I'm not that free to complete everything, but oh well, I shall enjoy.

I'm bored and feeling shitty. I shall sign off now. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 9 September 2009 {~Kyuu Kyuu Kyuu~}

2009-09-10T02:13:00.000+08:00

It's 090909~ And somehow this day doesn't look very exciting although it occurs only once in a century, and it's way past 12am already. >_> So strictly speaking, it's already 100909. Never mind.

Anyways, what am I up to these two days? Listening excessively to 増田貴久のMaster Hits~ Well, it's the radio show hosted by Massu from Tegomass. I don't know if I should say that it's quite interesting, because many radio shows are interesting as well, but maybe it's because of Massu hosting it. He replies to fan-mails sent to the programme and sometimes also accept brain quizzes and tries to answer them. Of course, playing of Tegomass, NEWS and other Johnny's songs. It's quite short, spanning only 30 minutes every week, but it's fun to listen to. Yes, I was listening to the recorded ones on YouTube.

For two weeks, Tegoshi came to host with Massu as promotion of their single, Tanabata Matsuri and album, Tegomass no Uta~ And yes, on their album jacket, Tegoshi is making the mouth for U, and Massu the shape of Ta. Looks very cute. XD

Anyways, listening to a few Tegomass songs like Chicken Boy, Hanamuke and Moshimo Boku ga Pochi Dattara. Funny songs. :D

Okay, back to my own life. Nothing much happened today. Just wasted like two hours going to a LAN shop to play DotA. Like, why don't we play it at home. Seriously.

Well, came home, rested.

Then I suddenly had an urge to play Left4Dead for a while. Seriously, I have never tried the game before. But well, it wasn't the scary thing, it's just shocking when they jump out from nowhere. Imagine a Boomer squeezing into a small hole in the sewer... Oh and I died when I came out of the manhole. That Zoey woman was telling me to find a manhole. So I found it, climbed out, and got incapacitated by a Tank immediately. The Tank then proceeded to block the manhole cover and continued to jump on me continuously. Then I died. >_>

But I startled two Witches for the fun of it. Like, one was sitting beside some pipes, and there was this stationary machine gun emplacement thing there for me to us, and it could hit the Witch. So, well, just for the fun of it, I fired at her with all my might. She came charging at me, and died before she could touch anyone of us. :D

The next one was in the sewer, and I shot her with my PISTOL. Of course I died, but it was fun. :D Witches are so fun to meddle with. I saw this video on YouTube with this house filled with 100 Witches. Then they threw a Molotov and a Pipe Bomb in. Funny~

Okay, then I did nothing. Seriously. Should be going out tomorrow, shall refer to my parents.

Yes, I woke up at 7am this morning to listen to some radio before sleeping again at 8am. Cool or what? >_> I'm stupid. But never mind. :D

Alright now, I shall sign off here. Enjoy the last few days of freedom. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 7 September 2009 {~Distances~}

2009-09-08T02:25:00.005+08:00

The word distance is another simple yet deep word. It can be very superficial, yet very profound.

From the perspective of a physicist, it is just a quantity for movement. A product of speed and time.

Well, I've been watching two long distances being conquered today. First was the Tsugaru Kaikyou Relay (Tsugaru Straits, the waters separating Hokkaido from Japan's Honshu.), where celebrities, professional athletes and a blind girl participated in a swimming relay to swim from Aomori to Hokkaido. It was 42km long, and the sea was very tough to swim in. They failed to conquer the distance last year, so they sought revenge this year on the 24 Hour TV programme. 24 Hour TV is a special TV programme that airs annually, or maybe not every year, in August. The show runs live for 24 hours straight, and they are hosted by a group of celebrities (recently they all come from Johnny's Entertainment). In the show itself, there are often marathons challenging people's limits. This swim was incredible because it has shown us the determination and teamwork of the swimmers, and the will of a blind girl. Miyagawa Daisuke from ItteQ also participated in the swim to lend help to the blind girl who failed last year.

Another distance was the 126.585km marathon ran by Imoto Ayako. Well, I watched all the cut out clips aired during the 24 Hour TV today. It was amazing. She persevered all the while and finally reached her goal, despite being a bit late. Her dream also came true as Tegoshi run forward to give her a tight hug. Her will and determination was amazing. She was referred to in the programme as the Heroine of Heisei.

During her run too, they sang ZARD's medley, and during her last 3km, they sang Makenaide, a song which they said Imoto likes a lot. They also repeated the two choruses many many times to drag the show, or something. It was great to see that ZARD is still remembered by everyone. And her songs continue to touch people's hearts, bridging the distance between life and death.

Another distance, one which is indeed hard to conquer, is the distance between people. Not the literal meaning, because globalization has helped a lot in shortening distances between people in different countries. But rather, social distances and emotional distances, if I put it that way. Two people may be right beside each another, but their hearts can be miles apart, and the distance cannot be covered easily just by mere power. This distance can hurt because it isolates one's heart from others, and to be able to be beside someone and not be able to communicate or even acknowledge each others' presence is a very painful thing. This distance is the most abstract and most excruciating.

I have no idea, all these just popped out of my head all of a sudden. Distances are just amazing. How they can take on many forms and do different things to different people.

Anyway, I've seriously come to realize that Massu's smile is really very bright. XD

No idea why, but when he smiles, it sort of makes you lighten up too, like what Tegoshi said about Massu's smile in a TV programme before. And Massu's expressions are often very cute and adorable, like in Summer Time and other occasions. During 24 Hour TV, he was trying to direct the camera to Tegoshi and Becky, and he called them "Tegoshi-kun, Becky-kun!". "Becky-kun" is not for a girl like Becky, so everyone laughed and his embarrassed face looked so funny. Of course, the name "Massu" sounds very cute too. Sounds like a rodent or something. XD

Anyways, ending this long long post with a video before I go to sleep. Another video from Tegomass, this is a coupling song for their 3rd single, Ai Ai Gasa. The name is Moshimo Boku ga Pochi Dattara, If I Were a Dog. Look at Massu's expressions at times because he makes such funny and cute expressions. *jealous of others' faces*

Alright, enjoy the video. The ending part is when they discuss that song title, and look at his face when he went "Pochi?!" and after that. :D

It's a little large, but oh well, to see better. :D Good Day!

Diary Entry - 6 September 2009 {~世界の果てまでイッテQ~}

2009-09-07T02:44:00.002+08:00

Right, that's what I've been quite crazy over recently. Because it is a wonderful TV variety show that touches our hearts deeply.

Main host is Uchimura Teruyoshi, other regulars include Tegoshi Yuuya from NEWS/Tegomasu, Becky, Miyagawa Daisuke, Imoto Ayako, Othello, Mori San Jyuu.

It's a TV show whereby viewers send in questions about places all around the world and these celebrities visit these places to solve the mysteries, often facing a lot of difficulties along their way.

One long-running series is the one about "What is the most exciting festival in the world?" question, and Miyagawa is the main character leading this section, visiting around one festival every month and participating, often leaving records worldwide. He alone has won second in the famous Britain Cheese-Rolling Festival and was the champion of the Wooden Car Festival in Thailand. Until now, there are 3 times where Uchimura and Tegoshi joins Miyagawa to participate in group festivals, and they won the third one held in USA where they had to run past logs. It was very touching to see Uchimura trying so hard and encountering a miracle until the very last minute.

Imoto Ayako, also the runner for the 24 Hour TV marathon, is named the Rare Beasts Hunter, and goes off to look for rare animals all over the world. She has raced with cheetahs and Komodo dragons, tested the biting strength of a lion and what not. She amazes me with her determination to complete the 126.585km marathon during the 24 Hour TV, and as promised, Tegoshi gave her a nice long hug right after she passed the finishing line. As long as we are determined, we will get what we want. She also scaled an almost 6000m mountain in Africa, also impressing me a lot.

Other activities include solving questions such as "Can human fly with an umbrella?" or "How her mystery circles made?". The topics are very interesting and hilarious at times.

I've been watching a lot of the festivals these few days and I must say that I'm deeply impressed by the celebrities' willingness to present the excitement to the crowd. It is hard being a celebrity indeed.

Oh well, enough of advertisements. Let's see, what's there to talk about. Like, there's nothing.

I think I dream a lot these few days because exams are over. I think I dreamt of something this morning, but I'm not very sure. LOL. Never mind, leave it.

Spent another pointless day slacking around. It's 3am again. How time flies. I should sleep earlier but no, I can't because my life is inverted.

From Imoto, I've also remembered that it is good to have a dream and ambition. Well, not exactly about occupation, but something like "I want to become a wonderful person like that" or "By the age of XX, I want to be able to do this!". Having goals like that make life easier and chases off fear at times.

Well, I hope I can burn all the way till 'O' Levels end. Let's work hard!

Good Day~

2009-09-05T20:26:00.002+08:00

ああ、やっと終わりました。中学生活の最後の校内試験が。よかった。

'O'レベルまで七週間ぐらいある。全然やる気ないな．．．今は結構困っております。どうして謙譲語使ってるも知らない。それがこの僕です。

まあ、今日は寝ました。長い時間。午前中に起きて、午後三時にまた寝ちゃった。そして6時に起き、マージャンしました。今は祖母の家におります。そうそう、その三十二階にあるマンション。でも今日は部屋の中にインターネット使ってます。ベランダにいると、インターネットが切れてしまう。

何のしよっかな？ゲーム？ビデオ？わかんない。でも、今週は楽しく過ごしましょう！

And I think that it'll be too sad if I kept posting in Japanese. I don't know why, just had the urge to post in Japanese these few days. Well, let's see, slept a lot today. Woke up at 12 noon, napped at 3pm until 6pm. At my Grandma's house right now, not on the balcony, but in the bedroom because the internet signal totally sucks on the balcony. XD

Exams are over~ Prelims, at least. Few more weeks until the dreaded O's. Let's see how I can fare. I'm troubled right now because I don't know what to do. Well, things will work out.

And I dreamt again this morning. Something stupid and meaningless. Got woken up by my Grandma's phone call though. XD Funny.

Alright, I shall get something to do. Good Day~

さあ！今日も試験！

なんか、つまらなかったね。少し寝坊しちゃって、急いで学校に向かってから、一時間だけの試験を受けた。それで、家に帰って、寝ました~

なんか、三時間も寝たけど、まだちょっと眠かった。日本語の試験だった。本当に五年シリーズとはずっと違う問題がいろいろ出て、困った．．．

マジで、日本語のSSのようだったよ、問題はやったことと全然違って、普通なら半時間以内でできる問題は、ギリギリ４５分間で終わったんだ。

聴解も普通と同じように早かった。話すスピードが。そして問題と問題の間は長くて、マジ眠らせたんだ。

まあ、日本語の試験も終わったし、後は成績だけね。今年はなんか一番になれたらいいな。

そしてね、昨日の作文さ、僕が｢私が尊敬している人」について書きました。その人はもちろん、ZARDの坂井泉さんです。また泉水さんに助けていただきました。去年の中国語の作文でも彼女について書いて、かなりいい成績が取れました。今回もお願いいたします。

さあ、明日はバイオロジと物理のPaper 1だ。全然勉強してない。まあ、なんとかなるだろう。

それじゃ、いい曲を聞いて、寝るつもりなので、またね！Good Day!

テゴマス－片想いの小さな恋 Tegomass - Kataomoi no Chiisana Koi

2009-09-03T00:14:00.000+08:00

I have posted this video before, but the lyrics are really very well written. I'm in love with the lyrics actually. It speaks about the crush of this guy on a girl, and how he wants to end this crush but yet cannot bear to end it, and that he does not dare to confess because it may cause tension between them. It's really well written because it uses very simple words to express the feelings of a crush very well. Enjoy.

眠れないほど好きです叶わない小さな恋
君なんです君のことです布団の中もぐりこんだけど
まぶしいその横顔全然届かないよ
忘れなきゃ忘れられない心の中溢れる

この片想いに終わりがあるのなら教えてよ
この片想いを気づいて欲しい
後戻りできない恋なんです

「どうしたの元気ないね?」覗いたしんぱい顔
君なんです君のせいです机の中しまいこんだけど
優しいその言葉にうつむくほてった顔
伝えたい伝えられない心の中揺れてる

この片想いに終わりがないのならそれでもいい
この片想いをまもって欲しい
まだ何も出来ない僕なんです

告白なんかしたら笑顔さえ見れなくなるから
ここから見つめるだけでかまわないよ

この片想いに終わりがないのならそれでもいい
この片想いをまもって欲しい
まだ何も出来ない
この片想いに終わりがあるのなら教えてよ
この片想いを気づいて欲しい
後戻りできない恋なんです

English Translation:
I love you so much I can't sleep. This little love that cannot be fulfilled.
It's you, it is you. I snuggled in my blanket, but...
That gleaming side profile of your face, I can't reach it at all.
I must forget, I can't forget, it overflows in my heart.

If there is an end to this crush, please tell me.
Please notice this crush.
A love that knows no return.

"What happened? You look tired." Your worrying face looked at me.
It's you, it's your fault, I buried myself on the table, but...
Through your kind words, my blushing face, looking at the ground.
I want to tell you, I can't tell you, it sways in my heart.

If there is no end to this crush, then just let it be.
Please protect this crush.
I who still can't do anything.

If I confessed, I won't be able to see your smile anymore.
I don't mind even if I looked at you from here.

If there is no end to this crush, then just let it be.
Please protect this crush.
I still can't do anything.

If there is an end to this crush, please tell me.
Please notice this crush.
A love that knows no return.

素敵だった？本当に片想いの感じを表せたので、とても意味の深い歌詞だと思います。

それじゃ、お楽しみに。

Good Day~

時が経つのが早いよね。アッという間に九月になりました。

今日はなんと、長い一日だったね．．．物理のPaper 2と高級数学のPaper 2、そして午後には日本語の文法と作文~！！！疲れた~

でもね、今はもう12時になっちゃったけれど、まだ眠っていない。どうしてかな~

最近、なんだかまた落ちたようだ。そう、あんなことに。全然要らないことなのに、何でいつも無理やりくっついてくるのかな．．．

月曜、また夢見た。あんな切ない夢を。マジでむかつく。そして今日もそう、横に歩いてたけど、視線が全然ぶつかってなくて、ただ黙って歩いてただけね。むかつく~

もう忘れようよ。こんな思いは要らない。

明日は試験~化学Paper 1と日本語の読解と聴解。簡単そうだが、勉強しなくちゃ。

それじゃ、次のポストに歌詞を更新するので、読んでね。

またいつか、日本語で。Good Day~

2009-08-30T21:49:00.000+08:00

I PASSED MY A-MATHS PAPER ONE. WOOTS.

Well, it was by a SMALL margin, but I'm happy enough.

Congratulations to Duncan too. He said after the paper that if he "passes this paper", his "grandma will be resurrected". And he should get back his grandma somehow. >_> BECAUSE HE PASSED TOO. XD

Gee, ate too much today. Having a bloated stomach and a bad hiccup. *hik*

Having my Japanese Prelims Oral tomorrow, nothing much to worry over, because there's nothing I can worry about. Then all the rest... PLUS, GCE 'O' Levels Japanese Language Oral Examinations on FRIDAY. That's like every school day to MOELC. *sadded*

Well, time for TV. I shall rest well today. Teachers' Day~

Good Day~

Diary Entry - 28 August 2009 {~Half Down~}

2009-08-28T21:59:00.000+08:00

Like, almost more than half my Prelims 2 are down and gone with the wind~

But my A-Maths still don't look good. Crap.

Next week will be tiring. Teachers Day Celebration, followed by Prelims Japanese Oral on Monday. Tuesday is an off-day for us. A-Maths Paper 2 + Physics Paper 2 + Japanese Usage & Composition on Wednesday. (I am so going to die). Chemistry Paper 1 and Japanese Reading and Listening Comprehension on Thursday. And there I thought that my Prelims were over when the last two papers are over and done with, this comes. Biology and Physics Paper 1, followed by actual 'O' Levels Japanese Oral on Friday.

Every school day next week is a visit to MOELC.

Talking about that, we just went for the talk about H1 and H2 Japanese yesterday. It was terribly scary. They were saying that H2 Japanese is like a General Paper in Japanese. And that unless we are really proficient in the language and have passion for the language and the Japanese culture, we are highly recommended NOT to take H2 Japanese. However, taking H2 Japanese allows me to not take Economics as a contrasting subject, which is good. Well, Junior College life will be totally no life for me I guess. Everything seems so packed with coursework and things like that. T_T

It was 七夕 on Wednesday, and you guessed it, another lonely year for me. But it's okay, I'm too busy for those things too. *Optimism +1* Talking of this, Tanabata Matsuri just begins playing on my shuffle playlist. :D

So boring. So lame. But, it's the weekends anyway. Still, there's Physics tomorrow. *sighs*

Never mind, I shall enjoy the night. Good Day~

Diary Entry - 24 August 2009 {~Preliminary Catastrophe~}

2009-08-24T23:50:00.000+08:00

Shit. Badly.

Kicked off the day with Chemistry Paper 2. It was manageable and was easier than that of Prelims 1. That was a good sign. I could do most of the questions, albeit some careless mistakes and things like that.

Totally killed during A-Maths because the whole cohort seemed to have died very very badly. Not just the normal exaggeration, but totally. This was one of the worst examinations nightmare of the cohort, the paper it was just terribly difficult and there was a certain extent of mental blockage. Everyone had around 30/80 marks deducted because of blank questions. Me too. *cries*

Then after the heart-wrenching A-Maths paper, it was time for English 'O' Levels Oral. It was scary. Waiting there was like waiting to be executed. The teachers looked amicable and friendly, which was a good thing. I think I did relatively well for my Reading Passage and Picture Discussion, but I think I lacked content in the Conversation part because my mind was so scrambled. Am glad that I managed to throw in some vocabulary here and there though. I hope I can get around 36/40 for Oral. Because the other parts are hard to score in. This is bad...

Well, so it was like that. Came home to sleep. Didn't revise any work today because it is going to be English Papers 1 and 2 tomorrow. Going to watch one more episode of Majo Saiban (The Witch Trial) before heading off to dreamland.

Hope tomorrow will be a great examination day. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 22 August 2009 {~夏祭り~}

2009-08-23T00:11:00.002+08:00

いやあああ、行きました！

Okay, I shan't post in Japanese.

But before I start describing how it went, I have to say, I'm never going to be so nice and I must fight for my own gains.

Like while queuing up for the tickets, which was very very long, this Japanese uncle came over to sell his tickets. 5 of them, just nice. And somehow, he came and he started speaking in Japanese, as if he knew I understood. Well, I knew that he was selling his tickets, and he stated his reason. I didn't catch/understand it completely, so I stopped to ask him what exactly was happening and he said something about "over", and I didn't know what was. At first he was using a vocabulary which I didn't understand. So while trying to figure out what exactly happened, I didn't know that there were such people like that auntie who cut into our conversation and bought the tickets away. I was too stunned for words because she came like the wind.

Well, I have to say, she knew her rules and guides in queuing long queues. Next time something like that happens, I am so just going to grab the tickets first. Being nice and civilised doesn't work in such situations I think.

Anyways, the festival was alright. But my brother said it was very different and less enjoyable compared to what he had the last time. Bought some food, got a Pokemon paper fan which was uber cute, and played the Yo-Yo Fishing thing. Well, I'm getting good at it, being able to fish up 4 Yo-Yos with one hook. But because I was rushing for time, I just let it die later. XD Bought some Pokemon Origami paper, Magic Dice, and a Natsu Matsuri T-Shirt. Well, it was the 2007 one, which was one of the nicest designs. Gonna wear it casually soon.

Well, then it was a long way home. Went to Tampines for dinner at Manpuku. Gee, it was expensive. And there was this woman sitting at the table beside us, and she was fat, eating her very heavy meal with her family. My brother said his stomach wasn't feeling very well, so he pointed at the food at that table and said "I can't take such heavy food like that now". And the woman thought that he was saying that she was heavy or fat, so she stared over like throughout the whole meal. What a nuisance, just admit that you're fat, and understand English please. Yes, and please, don't wear a lousy T-shirt and shorts and go into a restaurant to eat, those are for coffee shops.

And we went home from there. So tiring walking all over the place. Feeling quite great that I bought a lot of stuff, again. My wallet is crying...

Well, going to study tomorrow and work hard towards my dreams~ Muahaha. Good Day!

Diary Entry - 20 August 2009 {~Prologue of Prelims 2~}

2009-08-20T23:18:00.000+08:00

Here we go again. Prelims 2 starts tomorrow and it kicks off with my worst subject, Social Studies. Crap. No choice, I just have to hope that something good happens.

Anyways, today was quite tiring too. Every Thursday is tiring. Had Japanese lessons today. Well, after chatting with Edmund, we have decided that we shall make a song.

Well, I can't read nor write music at all because I'm a music-retard when it comes to notes and things like that, but I sure can write lyrics. And he can compose, or so he claimed. So we agreed that he shall compose the song and I shall write the lyrics to it. So looking forward to making it a great song. Be sure to check out for it.

Social Studies tomorrow and my head is aching now. I must sleep. I shall sign off here. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 18 August 2009 {~Falling Flat~}

2009-08-18T23:11:00.000+08:00

Well, not really.

It was yesterday, a great day because it rained in quite a while, and heavy one on top of that. So it was so enjoyable walking in the corridors with the strong winds gushing past me while preparing to go home, even singing Liu Wen Zheng's song. But who would have thought that such cruel fate awaited me.

Crossing the road without an umbrella on a rainy day is not advisable for people of any ages. Well, because it was raining, we were supposed to run across as soon as the light turned green. We've all done this many times already so it was not a problem at all. Just that this time, there was someone, I don't remember whether was it Xueying or another lady holding an umbrella. Because she has an umbrella, she was slowly strolling on the road while I had to run. So I had to overtake her to reach there quickly, and I stepped to the side to try to overtake her. Who would have known that Marvin's leg from behind would trip me accidentally, making me fall on the slippery road. It was good that it was slippery, and that I'm a Secondary Four student wearing long pants, or my right knee would have rotten.

It still grazed for a bit against my pants and now it is injured, but not that badly. My left palm was also grazed when I fell. *sobs*

Well, I did manage to stand up immediately and rushed to the other side before anything worse like being run over by a car happened. No, that would not happen because I ran during green lights.

So there, that was my poor fate yesterday. XD

Today is another boring day, sitting around, doing almost nothing at all. Slept for 3 hours for my nap, this isn't helping much but hell, it was enjoyable.

My ulcer hasn't recovered and I just sustained another injury. What bad luck I have this year. Boo.

Okay, I shall watch some TV shows right now. See you again. Good Day~

Diary Entry - 15 August 2009 {~Happy 200th Post~}

2009-08-16T00:57:00.002+08:00

Well, it's been quite some time since I actually started blogging. Nearing 3 years already, how time flies...

Woke up really early and feeling crappy today because of Physics supplementary early in the morning. Went there to do one Paper 2, which was so boring. Came home and slept some more.

In the afternoon, Mum told me that we should go visit my maternal grandma at the hospital with my paternal grandma before she gets discharged on Monday or so. Well, not that she has recovered, unfortunately. The doctors just do not have any cures for her illness, because it was due to old age. There's no way to save degenerating organs and things like that, so she should just be discharged and rest at home or something.

She seemed quite fine this afternoon when we reached, she could speak and even raise her legs to allow blood flow. But later she went into a daze, not knowing whether she wants to sleep or not. I left earlier with my paternal grandma because my aunt went to fetch us.

Came home and rested more. Today just seems so tiring for no good reasons. Still on Tactics Ogre. It's quite addictive to see characters level up over time. :D

Now, video time. GARNET CROW's new single, Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete. I have added it in the playlist already, so this is just a better version. And I love the video of the PV because it looks so nice with the flowers and such. And Yurippe is a beautiful lady.

Enjoy, Hana wa Saite Tada Yurete. (The flowers bloomed and just sways)

Great ya? Good Day~ Happy 200th post.

Diary Entry - 12 August 2009 {~Day of the Soup~}

2009-08-13T00:26:00.002+08:00

At first I thought that she was just joking, but somehow, she really came with a brand new pot and a brand new induction heater to make soup for the class today. Well, I was the one who washed the chicken wings and threw in all the herbs, she just stood and instructed me though. No matter, it was her thoughts that counts. She bought those things anyways. Thanks Mrs Choo. XD

That was slightly before recess. There was Physics SPA Skill 3 before the soup making session, and it was rather disgusting. I hate SPAs. Really. Well, now that it's over, I can rest well and stretch.

Feeling quite accomplished right now because I completed 5 sets of homework in a day. That may not be a lot, but it is to me because I'm lazy. Somehow I managed to catch an hour or so of sleep before continuing with the rest of the work. Chemistry, Chemistry, English, Social Studies, Japanese~ So much work and I'm still stuck here wanting to watch Detective Conan~ XD

Anyways, been quite interested in Tegomass again recently because of their new single and album. Tanabata Matsuri is nice, and another great song is Kataomoi no Chiisana Koi. I love the lyrics, how they are simple and yet bring out the true emotions of a crush. A short, live version is embedded below, together with Tanabata Matsuri PV.

Enjoy the videos. Detective Conan time~ Good Day!

Diary Entry - 10 August 2009 {~Coincidence~}

2009-08-10T22:31:00.000+08:00

Things are not turning out exactly well.

Went to my maternal grandma's place today again to see her. Seems that her condition has deteriorated further since two weeks ago. Now she can barely stand, and she needs people to move her around by carrying her instead of just supporting her while she walked.

When we went in, she was lying on the bed, showing some signs of a stroke. Seems that her mental condition is still okay, except the fact that she hallucinates at night. When there are people around her, she can understand what people are saying and can still respond accordingly. She could also recognize Mum. Later while she was carried out to sit on the chair in the living room, I was by her side holding her hands to keep her company together with my Mum. Seems like she is afraid of loneliness and needs someone to be with her all the time.

While holding her hands, though through a towel because she was feeling cold at first, her hands were trembling. The doctor said it was a stroke on the small brain which controls the limbs, causing her not to be able to move freely. Later they called for a civic ambulance to send her to her designated Mount Alvernia Hospital. Yes, at first she rejected the idea of a hospital, but later showed no signs of rejection and even designated that "Christian hospital" because she used to visit there. No, we're all Buddhist.

Which brings me to my point of coincidence. It is my Brother's birthday today. And exactly 22 years ago, he was born at Mount Alvernia Hospital. Who would have thought that 22 years later, Mum would visit it again on the very same day with her own mother. Brother and I didn't visit the hospital because he didn't want to visit a hospital on his birthday, which is deemed to be unlucky. And so my parents decided that the young ones should go home first.

Grandma is still hospitalized for further observation, and I think she's scheduled for a brain scan to see what exactly is wrong with her before specialists can prescribe any medications. I pray that she's alright.

One more weekend has passed by and one step closer to the 'O' Levels. Time is passing so quickly and so many things are happening all at once. And here I am procrastinating on my work and revision. This does not bode well for me. I need to perk up. I need help...

Alright, I shall attempt a few A-Maths questions now. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 7 August 2009 {~Record Breaking "Absentism"~}

2009-08-08T01:03:00.002+08:00

Or so the word was coined by Miss Isma herself.

National Day celebration, and guess how many people out of 45 came to school today? Yes, 24.

Miss Isma came personally to take our attendance and there were 26 people then. Later Junhao was forced to go home because he had a 7 day medical certificate and later Duncan did too, because he went up to 38 degrees. Miss Wong who came to take his temperature with her ear-thermometer had it malfunction. XD

Then we were banned from the Hall and from anyone else because we were badly infected by some unknown virus. Ended up not being able to watch the last National Day celebration in CCHY. *sighs*

But we got to paint our fishes... or something. My fish looked so disgusting I don't even want to mention about it. XD

Forced to leave at 10am because we weren't supposed to come into contact with anyone else. Depending on the situation, we might not need to attend school on Tuesday, or we might be quarantined.

Came home and slept. Parents came back at 12.30pm and woke me up to have lunch, and then I slept again until 2.30pm. Went out to register for my JLPT2 before going to shop at Bugis Junction. Planned to spend my $50 voucher at Kinokuniya, but didn't manage to because of the lack of variety of books there. Ended up getting myself a handphone pouch at BHG, or rather, Dad got it for me. Not very happy with it because there are pressed marks on the PVC leather as it was squeezed in the package with a metal hook thing. Sadded.

Came home feeling hungry like nothing. Had a huge serving of macaroni and slacked all the way until now. Going to Grandma's place for the third Saturday in a row to celebrate birthdays. I shall see what I can do tomorrow.

I shall slack somemore now. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 6 August 2009 {~Virus is all over the place~}

2009-08-06T22:54:00.000+08:00

Guess what, of the 45 people in class, 11 were absent this morning and 4 more went home halfway through the day. So at the end of the day, we had like 2/3 of the class left because everyone else went down with fever. I have no idea why nothing like that had ever happened before this period of H1N1. I'm quite positive that the virus is somewhere in my body right now, just that probably my body killed it before it attacked or it is still sleeping. Well... Let's wait.

So we were supposed to see the Principal today during assembly, but he requested that we do not turn up lest 4F and 4G got infected by our deadly class. Now our classroom is an infected area, and Miss Isma says that she will get it disinfected tomorrow. Sounds so cool~

Besides that, Miss Kaur also went down with some illness today, so it's like the whole 4H'09 is attacked by a strong virus, and yet I'm doing all right. I tried to get myself to catch a fever so that I could leave school early or something, but my temperature could barely get to the 37 degrees mark. Interesting day. :D

I don't know why, but we are still required to attend the National Day celebration tomorrow despite us not being allowed into the AVA room today. Weird.

Never mind, but I'm too tired. Had P.E. early in the morning, then there was also Japanese class today. *sighs* Randomness...

Let's look forward to tomorrow and see if I come down with anything. XD

Well, I shall slack around more while I'm at it. Good Day~

Diary Entry - 2 August 2009 [~One Week's Absence?~]

2009-08-03T00:18:00.002+08:00

No, this week was just as normal. Which is why I didn't really feel like posting anything at all. Because there really was nothing much to post about.

Let's see, Chemistry Actual SPA tomorrow, but I'm too random to be bothered by it. I guess it's something really plain and such. Got back our Prelims 1 results slip last Wednesday or so. Did moderately I guess, but I think I could have done better. Shit, I need my motivation. This year is REALLY bad. I must buck up. Help me, allow me to help myself. Really. Stop all these nonsense. *prays*

Went for a haircut this afternoon after realizing that my hair is in quite a mess after a month and a half or so. Feeling quite refreshed with shorter hair right now. And it's back to normal assembly tomorrow morning, no more slacking around in the classroom and back to more boring and lame sitting-in-the-parade-square nonsense. With no chair and no tables, and sitting on the ground is super lame.

Back to having Mdm Sue's lessons every Wednesday too. Well, did oral this week and we'll be having Comprehension next week. Really, her lessons kind of scare me, but I think it is this intimidation that drives students to study.

More and more lame and boring things are awaiting me. Life in Secondary 4 is indeed draining and plain. Well, if only Heavens is kind enough to solve some of my troubles and add some spices to my life, I would be extremely grateful.

Then again, I think I really should sleep already. I hate Chemistry SPA. Totally. I hate life. *shakes head*

Good Day.

Diary Entry - 27 July 2009 [~Happy 16th Birthday to Me~]

2009-07-27T22:39:00.003+08:00

One year has passed since my last birthday. I'm utterly astounded by the passing of time. This year hasn't been that great a year for me, but well, I hope it turns out well as I turn older.

Anyways, to express my gratitude to all who have wished me a Happy Birthday, I shall list them out one by one in chronological order.

Jane, Yathei, Dad, Xinglai, Qunjie, Chongwei, Duncan, Marvin, Javier, Anna, Yencheng, Alpha, Jasmine, Jian Sheng, David (from J4.16), Kai Ling, Hei Kern, Diana, Ziyun, Winnie, Mum, Xueying, Edsel, Veronica, THANKS A LOT. :D I hope I didn't miss out any, sincerely sorry if I did. XD

So counting back, there were quite a lot of people there. :D

Well, got 2 presents from the guys, the first being this Winnie the Pooh head thing which was the same as the one Pauline got for me last year, and the other was the big-footed dinosaur at Popular. Then Anna also sent me an Amethyst on Facebook, LOL. Mum gave me an angpao when I got back home. Thanks everyone for the thoughts. :D

Came home after school to leave my bag at home, and went out for lunch at Ei8hteen Chefs at GV Yishun. Well, the food was nice and affordable. But it's just out of the way since I stay so near school. Went around to shop for a bit in Northpoint before heading back home.

So tired after reaching home. I dozed off on the sofa for an hour or so. Woke up and went on to play Pokemon Platinum. I feel like beating Cynthia today because it is a special day. And it was 2 years since I first defeated the Ruby WEAPON in Final Fantasy VII, so I must win by today!

Alright now, I shall go grab a bite or something. Really, thanks everyone for the kind wishes. I shall work hard to become a better person this year.

ADD-ON: Okay, also thanks to a very special person by the name of Edmund Goh Di Xian who was planning to send me a 16 Happy Birthday SMSes at 2359 hours. Well, I had a hard time receiving 16 SMSes though. It was a nice intention, THANKS ED-CHAN. XD

More school tomorrow. I'm 16!

Good Day~!

Diary Entry - 26 July 2009 [~Another Grandma & Another Year Older~]

2009-07-27T00:51:00.002+08:00

Woke up early today, hoping to catch the 30 minutes of Forensic Heroes II I missed on Wednesday, but I still missed it because I got the timing wrong. Or rather, Dad got it wrong.

So I went on to play Pokemon Platinum. Cleared Victory Road today, and went on to fight the Pokemon League. The Elite Four was not too much of a problem with Giratina on my side, but Cynthia's Garchomp got me dead. *sighs* Indeed, my levels are too low. My highest level was 52, Garchomp was at 62. O_o

Went out at around 2 to my maternal grandma's place to visit her. Seemed like her mental condition has deteriorated further since the last time we visited her. She could still recognize us, but we heard that she has gotten a little paranoid over things. And she could not sit still at one chair, she had to ask the maid or anyone else to help her to the other chair or into the bedroom every 5 minutes or so just because she didn't like that seat. And she has lost the strength to walk safely alone or to shower herself. Her maid had to aid her in everything. It was sad to see her like that.

My Mum's sister also seemed to have somehow managed to hide her grief about her boyfriend's death just yesterday, and she could even laugh and joke a bit. Indeed, the Chinese saying that misfortune never comes alone is no doubt correct.

Well, after we left Grandma's place, we went back to Northpoint for some sort of dinner at KFC. Then went off to shop for a while without buying anything for myself, then we headed home.

I didn't even realise it. 12 midnight passed when I was washing my face. Look, I've got no life.

I didn't even remember that it was already my birthday until Jane SMSed me to wish me Happy Birthday. Thanks so much, old pal. XD

Okay, I shall sign off now to "enjoy" my birthday. Didn't manage to do any work this whole weekend. Crap. XD

Good Day.

Diary Entry - 25 July 2009 [~Long Day with Grandma~]

2009-07-26T00:34:00.005+08:00

What a long day it was... Went out at 11+am to Grandma's old home to help her move some stuff. Some to her new home, some to the dump, some to the salvation army, a lot to my house. >_>

Spent a lot of time there, at least 2 hours or so. Then it was lunch at Crystal Jade. Treat from Aunt. :D Didn't eat a lot, but the bill was quite there. Went around Junction 8 to look for a cake and in the end, got this Nutella cake (the name was that) from Polar and went to Grandma's new home.

Man, condominiums are great. I love the balcony. The breeze, the view... Sat outside there for almost all the time there, playing Pokemon Platinum on my laptop. Caught Giratina. Wahaha. Some nice photos around there...

There's the crescent during sunset. The two layers of colours, what I saw in Japan appeared again here.

And then it was cake cutting ceremony for my pre-birthday celebration! 2 days prior.

Sorry for it being tilted, I'm too lazy to turn it over. Do it yourselves ya? LOL.

And after eating cake, we went out for Bak Kut Teh at a famous shop around there. Well, don't really like those food, but it was my dinner. Ate and went home. Reached home at around 2330. Showered and stuff, just came online at 12am or so. My eyes are sort of closing.

And the plans for Sakura tomorrow is sort of cancelled because we are all so tired. Haha. Well, might go visit my maternal Grandma tomorrow though.

Yes, and Mum received this piece of news through the phone just now at Grandma's new place. My Mum's younger sister's boyfriend just passed away due to a heart attack this morning or so. Right one month after Michael Jackson and of a similar cause of death. Though I do not know him well, but still, rest in peace.

Okay, I'm tired now. Shall sign off. Let's see what might happen tomorrow. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 23 July 2009 [~Racial Harmony Day 2009~]

2009-07-23T23:57:00.002+08:00

Once again, that time of the year when the class goes crazy over getting costumes from all over the place. Racial Harmony Day 2009~

Well, Miss Fanny See is no longer teaching, but we made it a point to uphold her legacy and the whole class managed to grab some costumes by today. So eventually, we won the Best-Dressed Class award! Well done 4H'09! :D

Mdm Connie Yeo also won the Best-Dressed Female Teacher award. Apparently she was quite shocked to know about it as well, and commented that "Huh? Just wearing this and I win a prize?"

Well, it was a tiring day alright. Right after photo taking for the best-dressed class, I rushed home and out again for Japanese class. Yes, I was very tired, but was quite looking forward to the lessons.

Went through 8 sentence patterns today, somehow Sensei managed to squeeze it all in.

Yes, and I got back my results for Chemistry today too. The total is 80.8/100, which I suppose is the second in class, following Sheryl who beat me by one decimal place or something around there. :D

Also borrowed Totto-chan from the MOELC library today. The story seems long, but I might just finish reading it somehow. Going to bring it to school to read it.

Planning to sleep earlier today, which is now. So beat... I shall retire early. Good Day~

Diary Entry - 22 July 2009 [~Overcast Solar Eclipse~]

2009-07-22T23:01:00.002+08:00

Everyone was talking about it. That a solar eclipse will occur today in the morning and that it will visible in Singapore. Well, I think it was, but this very morning, the rain came gushing down like a storm. Well, I love that weather, if only I could sleep a little longer. The strong winds crashing against my window and the rain playing their best tune was so captivating.

Well, still had to go to school nonetheless. Got back quite some results today. Got 78/100 for Physics, at least I got an A1 for not studying... I thought I flunked it for sure. Well, Heikern got 80.

Then Social Studies was it, I PASSED. And got B4. 14/25 for SBQ and 17/25 for SEQ. Quite satisfied, but I know I can do better. :D

English was okay, considering that many people didn't manage to pass the Comprehension section, I'm quite pleased with passing both parts. The Comprehension was a killer.

Still a B4 for Combined Humanities. *sighs* And B4 for English. And I guess it's another B for Higher Chinese. *sighs sighs*

I wonder how 'O' Levels will be for me. Sounds like some culling session.

Racial Harmony Day celebrations tomorrow, let's hope that the whole class goes in ethnic costumes and let's win the best dressed class award!!!

Alright now, there's still Japanese class tomorrow. Somehow I'm looking forward to it every week. Going to borrow Totto-chan tomorrow~

Okay, I shall sign off early today. Good Day!

Diary Entry - 20 July 2009 [~Devastated & Drained~]

2009-07-21T00:27:00.002+08:00

Somehow today seemed so tiring... Well, partially because I slept at 1.30am in the morning, so was totally drained in the morning. The first paper we got back today was devastating enough to send chills down my spine, or something like that.

Higher Chinese Paper 2: 68/110. Devastating? Well, the China-born people managed to at least get some 70+ marks. This paper was a killer, and as expected, Mdm Goh edited the answer for one question away. So we got back 1 more mark. Was actually having 67/100. T_T

Next was Mathematics. Got back our Paper 2s. Did badly for A-Maths Paper 2 as expected, because of the diarrhoea and stuff. 68/100... Well, at least the combined results got me an A1 after all. 76.58 or somewhere there. :D

E-Maths was good, 89/100 for Paper 2, and the 78/80 for Paper 1. Too lazy to calculate.

Had like 5 periods of Physics today. Two periods right after recess, and because Mdm Yeo was absent, Mr Lee decided to take over the last three Chemistry periods as well. Did a lot of stuff, but I was so tired I could not concentrate at all. And the heat was enveloping the classroom like usual. It didn't rain today.

I want rain. I love rainy days. Just sitting in my room, listening to the rain knocking on my window pane, playing a rhythm that no human can imitate exactly, the feeling is just so calming and soothing. Rain, fall on this Earth.

Although it was a bit bright and dazzling this afternoon, I decided to catch up on some sleep because I was really beat. Thought I could wake up in around 1 or 2 hours' time, ended up sleeping for around 3. Wahaha, it was energizing, albeit time consuming. Is the word used like that?

School starts late tomorrow, which is good news for everyone. Late school = more sleep = happier me. :D

I just hope I can stay happy all the while. Sometimes reality just strikes too hard.

Anyways, added BAMBINO and Hikari from Breakerz to the playlist, and changed the banner to a GIF image, now it changes between ZARD, Vincent Valentine of Final Fantasy VII, Hanabishi Recca (and the 8 flame dragons + Yanagi) from Flame of Recca and Queen Diana of MAR. Wanted to make a Dark Mousy of D.N.Angel one, but I'm too lazy today. I made the rest in the past. Maybe I could make one tomorrow.

And yes, Tegomass just released a new single, Tanabata Matsuri. Quite a cute song, but their images are sort of... unbecoming... Not cool. Oh well... >_>

Good Day.

Diary Entry - 18 July 2009 [~Sakae Buffet & Sentosa Beach~]

2009-07-18T22:07:00.002+08:00

Back from a day of tiring and enjoyable activities. Went out early to get our Sushi buffet at Sakae at Dhoby Ghaut. Ate so much and it was so filling. I must have exceeded the worth, so I'm happily full and satisfied. Sat there from 11.45am to 2.30pm thereabouts.

Then went to Sentosa with them, but Chongwei joined in a while later at Vivo City. Didn't bring any extra shirts or pants, so I tried not to get wet, but I still got wet somehow while playing with the sand. Built a giant mound of sand for nothing, and just sat around, enjoying the sea breeze and looking at the sea. The sea is a magnificent thing indeed.

Well, spent almost the whole day out, and the beach is indeed marvelous. Left at around 6pm and went back to HarborFront Centre to have a drink before taking a bounce train home.

The photos are with Marvin, but I don't think I'll be posting any. So, Good Day. :D

Diary Entry - 17 July 2009 [~BAMBINO & BANG BIO~]

2009-07-18T00:31:00.007+08:00

Lousy title, I know.

Slept so late yesterday that I was so giddy this morning. Gotten back our Biology Papers, A and E-Maths Papers 1, and I got to know my grade for Chemistry.

So, why do I BANG BIO? Because my Biology sucked. Somehow I only got a 69.6 or 70.0, depends on how Mrs Choo does the calculations. That's sad, somehow I could do the questions, but I just got them wrong. *sighs*

A-Maths was good, I got 70/80 for Paper 1. Mr Goh wrote 69/80, but he miscounted 1 mark on one page. So there. :D

E-Maths was better. 78/80 for Paper 1. The 2 marks gone were such a heartache. First, the question was saying that 120n is a perfect square. Find the smallest possible integer value of n. I used trial and error, and I got 30. But I wrote the answer as n=3. =.=

And the other, I wrote down the working as n(P union R), but I calculated the answer for n(P intersect R) for Set Theory. Those were my marks. DAMN.

We did not get back Chemistry, but Mdm Yeo said I got an A1 somehow. Quite happy for the first paper of the day. Well, then there's still A-Maths Paper 2 and Physics, both of which I'm quite worried for.

Oh, and Miss Kaur said that I passed my SBQ by a small margin somehow. She said the SBQ was very hard, and it was an impressive feat that 11 out of the 45 students in our class passed it. I'm so happy to be one of them. Well, maybe because the topic was quite related, my Mum's favourite at that. XD

Alright, BAMBINO. Just BREAKERZ's song some time this year. It's so catchy and cool. I shall post the live performance of it, and DAIGO sings really well live. And, I've compared the live version and the PV version, they sounded subtly different at various parts. So yes, it was live.

Pardon it for being small, but because the video was in widescreen, so the dimensions were hard to fix. And I love the "Aww!" parts. :D

Qunjie was planning to go out somewhere nice and beautiful like Sentosa tomorrow, but I haven't received any details at all, and I think they haven't decided where to go, so I shall sit and do my own stuff.

Fine, I shall sign off here. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 16 July 2009 [~Pokemon, Prelims, Romantica~]

2009-07-16T22:31:00.005+08:00

Well, hasn't posted anything since Monday. Was quite busy with a lot of stuff on my hands. Yes, Suzuki-sensei said that by playing or watching movies, we are qualified to call ourselves as busy. So I was this past few days, playing Pokemon Platinum, studying a bit here and there for Prelims 1, and started watching Junjou Romantica yesterday.

Speaking of that, really, there's nothing so wrong about watching a Boys Love anime. Just watching doesn't mean you have to be part of it right. The plot of that show is great, and the characters' love for each other despite them not adhering to social norms is something to behold in my opinion. Well, Romeo and Juliet became such a great hit for having two lovers who defy social norms, I don't see why we should not appreciate Boys Love. It's just an anime anyway. They have their rights to fall in love with anyone, as long as both parties are willing, I think it's okay.

Pokemon Platinum is another hit. Okay, my emulator is sort of sucky and slow, but the game is good. Still at 6 badges because I can't bring myself to play for long each time. And there was school. My party now consists of Torterra, Staraptor, Gastrodon, Probopass, Houndoom, and a Bibarel (for HM moves). All except Bibarel are at around level 40. I know, their levels are low, but I'm still training. Still quite a long way until the Pokemon League.

Right, Prelims are OVER. Prelim 1, at least. Guess there is a 4-week break before we face another hurdle, but I'll just have to get past it no doubt. I shall recharge up these 4 weeks, and my birthday is just around the corner. Just great that I get to celebrate it without Prelims.

Okay, I shall sign off now to relax a bit. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 13 July 2009 [~Downward Spiral~]

2009-07-13T22:19:00.007+08:00

What's wrong with me? Seriously. Lady Luck is on holidays. First I was late for school, then this morning, someone woke me up before 5am by opening my room door, and I had to stay awake since then. It was E.Geography and A-Maths Paper 2 today. *yells*

Then, for some odd reasons, I had a diarrhoea this whole day. I had the same breakfast as usual, nothing happened. But my stomach started acting up during the last 30 minutes for E.Geography, and then it came again during A-Maths. What's wrong, totally.

Well, at least the good thing was that I could do the Geography paper. A-Maths was... well, I don't know how to solve a few questions, but the rest of the class didn't seem very much better either, so that's that.

Came home and decided that the best thing I could do was to sleep to avoid encountering any unlucky things. So I slept. Woke up, watched DAIGO's episodes on Shimura Zoo, while he took care of a neglected penguin called PenPen for 4 months before releasing it back to the penguin enclosure. It was so cute. Penguins are great. Piplup included, LOL.

Anyways, it's Physics Paper 2 tomorrow. I shall do a bit of studying tomorrow... Or later. Damn myself. I hate myself.

Alright, that's that. I shall sign off here. Good Day~

Diary Entry - 8 July 2009 [~Not So Lucky Day~]

2009-07-08T20:48:00.003+08:00

Damn. WHY?!?! LATE AGAIN. Twice this year, despite me having never been late for school ever in the past. And there was Prelims this morning. Woke up only at 7.30am because my alarm clock got turned off while I changed the tone this morning. DAMN. *smacks head*

Today was Chemistry Paper 2 and A-Maths Paper 1. Chemistry was hard, everyone said so. Mdm Yeo was giggling away at the end of the day. Gee.

A-Maths was doable, but not exactly easy. I think I can get an A1, but probably a low one. I didn't think of some methods, so the answer was wrong or something. Well, Qunjie's with me. XD

Tomorrow is E-Maths Paper 1, followed by Biology Paper 2. Man, Prelims... I'm not even studying for Biology. I still have a Japanese Composition to write. Due tomorrow. But I don't know what to write, not how to. Dang...

Everything's a mess. I must make it a point to set both alarms from today onwards. NO MORE LATE FOR SCHOOL, EVER.

I shall get ready to print my Book Review and watch some TV dramas now. Doing All Right~

Good Day!

Diary Entry - 4 July 2009 [~Happy-4-Birthdays~]

2009-07-04T22:20:00.003+08:00

Alright, that was a lame title. But really, I can remember this day every year because 4 Japanese musicians share this birthday~

They are Akanishi Jin from KAT-TUN, Masuda Takahisa from NEWS/Tegomasu, Nakamura Yuri from GARNET CROW, and Gackt! Happy Birthday, wahaha!

Anyways, as you might notice, I have changed my Music Player from the playlist one to this video one, and the tracks are slightly different as well. All of them are either PVs or live performances. Of course, all the birthday stars get at least one video in there. Enjoy the videos and the songs because they rock!

Haven't done any work yet. So not feeling like doing anything. *sighs* WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!

I shall go read some Social Studies now. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 3 July 2009 [~Sine Curvy Mood~]

2009-07-03T21:19:00.004+08:00

The mood today was like a sine curve. Started off in the morning as quite lethargic because it was Prelim 1 English Papers 1 and 2. And I forgot to bring my thermometer to school because I changed my bag. Damn. Ended up going downstairs to take my temperature.

Paper 1 was quite a breeze, Situational Writing was normal like always and the Composition part was incredible. Inspiration came endlessly while I just wrote on and on~ Wrote 6 pages of bombastic randomness about Freedom. My story was about me being kept under pressure at home because of my strict mother, and how I longed for freedom which I deemed as happiness. I finally acquired my freedom, but the ephemeral happiness soon revealed a face of distress. Then I began to understand how noble my mother was and looked forward to return home. Something like that. That was when it sort of went up to the peak of the graph.

Paper 2 sucked totally. The passage was ridiculous. Something about the dead, then about some Egyptian king. The only part I truly understood for Passage A was the part which mentioned that "Michael Jackson's "Thriller" should be played in the background." or something. But hey, was this paper set after he died?

Anyways, that was when the graph went to the rock bottom because the whole level seemed to have flunked it.

Then it was Qi Guang's and Kai Ling's birthday celebration. Had a nice cake and the two birthday stars were totally made a fool of, but they seemed to have enjoyed it lots. Happy Birthday you two!

After that was lunch at McDonald's. It was a sight to behold. All the fries and drinks and chilli sauce and burgers stacked up accordingly. One whole tray of fries shared by everyone. It was fun!

Anyways, that's like all for today. Watched more Pokemon anyways. Shall sign off now. Good Day!

Diary Entry - 2 July 2009 [~Prologue of Prelims~]

2009-07-02T23:52:00.004+08:00

Few more hours until paper starts. English Paper is tomorrow. Tension is rising again!!!

Really, English papers are weird. You don't know how to prepare for them besides reading up on the formats and some good phrases, you feel that you are at ease, but then you worry for it because you always feel that there is not enough to prepare yourself for. So, it's contradicting.

Had a nice 2 hours nap just now because it was raining so nicely outside. I love listening to the symphony of the rain in my room. It's relaxing.

Woke up and had dinner at 5+pm, then slacked until Pokemon showed. Watched that last episode for Diamond and Pearl, then went to watch the following episodes online. I love Pokemon! But I missed all the other episodes in Johto and the front part of Sinnoh. Gaah.

Didn't have Japanese lessons today because Suzuki-sensei is under quarantine after returning from Japan. Apparently, her father passed away during the holidays and she had to stay there until 28 June. And she came back and got quarantined, so she could not come for lessons and we had to do it online. Anyways, she called me the other day to inform me. I was quite taken aback while I received the call because I could not figure out who exactly was I speaking to. Then she said she was Suzuki. That was when the Japanese conversation started. And the work for Japanese kind of scares me too. I was flabbergasted at the sight of the whole list of vocabulary she has posted. I should not have slacked so much during the holidays. Why do I always live to regret yesterday? Heavens, help me.

Anyways, I don't know what to study for. Read a bit of Mdm Sue's materials and I guess that's it. It's all up to my creative juices which I hope will work tomorrow. It's hard to say.

English always seems so easy until you get back your papers. Then reality strikes that what you thought was correct turned out half-baked. It's saddening. And thieves have to sneak because they don't want others to notice them, because they are stealing things, WHICH IS A WRONGDOING. Without the wrongdoing part, you don't score a mark. Don't they have common sense that stealing is wrong?

I shall try to improve my English from now onwards. Some subjects are just so hard to study for. Higher Chinese is another hurdle, and my Combined Humanities. Without all these, my life would have been more relaxing. Getting all A1s is not an easy feat for a lazy kid such as myself. *shakes head*

Also, have been quite hyped up on Amagi Goe once again after falling in love with it again as a result of investigating it with Jane, a fellow Ishikawa Sayuri fan. Wahaha.

So, I shall let all enjoy the awesomeness of Amagi Goe!

Enjoy the video, and good luck for my Prelims 1! Good Day!

Guu Guu~

The new term was quite peaceful~ At least I started doing some Maths and stuff. Gotta keep it rolling.

The two days were quite smooth, just that I had this terrible gastric pain yesterday morning in school. I had a packet of Milo in the morning but I was still starving. Sort of hurt for over an hour or so. Gaahh...

And today too, I was starving at lunchtime even though I had a normal recess. My appetite must have increased during the holidays. Rawr.

I'm not too sure if we are going to have Mdm Sue's lessons tomorrow after school. I'm fine with either. But she's intimidating alright.

My A-Maths is bad. I can't integrate. XD I shall try hard. :D

Alrighty, I shall go work hard now. Good Day.

Diary Entry - 27 June 2009 [~Day @ Grandma's~]

2009-06-28T01:37:00.003+08:00

Woke up at slightly past 11am this morning and found that it was early. Indeed, my Dad woke me up because he didn't know how to describe Mum's job as a canteen vendor. There you go.

Got changed soon and got out to Grandma's place for lunch. Her house was almost empty because everything is in my home right now. Gehehe.

The plan was to go take a look at their new home after Aunt got back from work, so I fooled around with my laptop and took a short nap from 1445 to 1525. Got to her new condominium, which was... I'm at a loss for words to describe it. Well, it was great looking and seemed awesome for one or two people, but the rooms are terribly small and I can't imagine having a family staying there. So there you go.

Had dinner at Alexandra Village or something nearby their new home then went back to their current house. They continued with Mahjong while I fooled around more with my computer. Gehehe.

Ended really late at almost 12 midnight. Got home to shower and I'm blogging right now because I'm waiting for my hair to dry. Spent half a day with Grandma. Wahaha.

Still a bit shocked at Michael Jackson's sudden death. Just hours before he died, I was watching his Thriller video on YouTube after talking to Jane about the Indian Thriller. I believe he was still alive and kicking then. I read another article about him that said that he was very energetic and enthusiastic about his comeback concert, but unfortunately passed away before his comeback and before his fans could once again see the Michael of old.

This of course reminded me of ZARD as well. Why do great musicians always have to leave us so early? They have lived for barely half a century. Indeed, life is fragile. While I am blogging right now, who knows what may happen tomorrow and in the near future? Thinking of that again reminds me of Mdm Goh's philosophy of life, 活在当下, to live in the current reality. Do not look too far forward, do not reminiscence on the past excessively, live now to the fullest to not leave any regrets in your life should anything unlucky happen.

Once again, Michael Jackson and Sakai Izumi, may you rest in peace.

Good Day.

Before I start elaborating on our outing today, let me first express my sorrow for the death of Michael Jackson, who has unfortunately passed away yesterday due to cardiac arrest.

I only heard about it this morning when I was on my Dad's car to his school to help out at their stall with the pre-school reopen cleaning. That was when I was about to SMS Qunjie to ask him to check if what I heard was correct, when my phone rang. Marvin has SMSed me to inform me of the shocking news.

Michael Jackson, although I was never really a huge fan of yours, but I do appreciate your music and you have definitely changed my life somehow. For that, I thank you and wish that you may rest in peace.

So I was at my parents' school stall helping out with cleaning the dishes and stuff. Went home at 12+ after having lunch. Showered and left for Yishun Safra again for pool then karaoke. :D

Pool was normal, was quite lucky and had some lucky shots. Then Ziyun said she was not going to join us for karaoke because she was broke. So we called Jane to get her there immediately. Went for karaoke at 1530, and sang for 4 hours.

Started off with a tribute to Michael Jackson, Heal the World.

Then things got heated up with Umbrella and things like that. Sang a lot today because Edsel and Jane were quite passive and did not choose many songs. Or maybe it was because I was too active in selecting songs.

Really, sang loads of Pop and Enka, like ZARD and Mikawa Kenichi. I finally got to sing さそり座の女 today, though the MV was disgusting. Also sang other songs like 北国の春、北国夜曲、津軽海峡．冬景色、風に立つ、夫婦善哉、東京ホテル、泣かせ雨、心を開いて、世界はきっと未来の中、運命のルーレット廻して、Promised you, Get U're Dream, 新しいドア~冬のひまわり~、眠れない夜を抱いて、もう探さない、願い事ひとつだけ、Truth、深い森、真実の詩、and of course the most exciting performance, 天城越え。

They wanted to hear the 恨んでも part, or at least Jane wanted to. And it was so fun hanging out with them and screaming around.

Ended off at 1930, took one photo and left for home.

Photo!

It's a little blur, but oh well.

Peixin spirit, ROCK ON!

Good Day!

晴れてから雨

うわぁ~長い一日だったな~

もう、久しぶりに６時起き。眠かったね．．．けど、朝の外は凄く気持ちよかったな。旅行しているように早起きして、外が真っ暗で、空気もさわやかだったし、なかなかこれから早起きしていきたいなと感じた。だけどね、そんなことは起こらないんだね。明日はまた昼まで寝るから。

まあ、いろんな家具を運んできたな。部屋にも新しい感じがする。前とはほとんど違う様で、新鮮感があるよね。そして結構広くなったし、綺麗な感じだ~

それでね、運んだあとで雨が降って、空も暗くなったから、もう夜７時になっちゃうと思ったら、まだ３時だったんだ。

けどね、今日指切ったんだ。左手の親指がペンナイフに切られて、血が出たんだ。今はばんそうこうが貼ってて、なかなか指が使えない。ケヘヘ。

さっき、ソファでうたた寝しようとしたら、寝坊しちゃって、ポケモンを見なかったんだ。悔しい．．．

まあいいっか。クレヨンしんちゃんを見に行くんだから、Good Day!

Wahaha! I'm still high. Don't know why.

Went back to school early morning for a bit of Chemistry. I could do Chemistry! Wahaha!

Totally randomly crazy today. Don't know why too. Wahaha.

Getting "new" furnitures tomorrow. Courtesy from Aunt because she's moving soon. Wahaha, my room gets a new look.

And I'll have to wake up at 6am tomorrow. No wahaha. Tiring. But my whole house gets a new look. Yay.

I keep speaking in short sentences today. I don't know why, but WAHAHA.

Totally too random. I shall stop. Wahaha!

Good Day!

Diary Entry - 17 June 2009 [~Day Out @ Karaoke~]

2009-06-17T23:07:00.003+08:00

Well~ back from the 4 hours karaoke spree~

Man, we love karaoke. 4 hours of non-stop crazy singing and screaming. I think we're qualified for the loudest group there just now. XD

They have quite some great songs there. Quite a lot of ZARD's songs as well. I only sang 4 of them though. 運命のルーレット廻して、愛が見えない、痛いくらい君が溢れているよ、Good Day.

Also got to sing some oldies like 東京ホテル and 泣かせ雨. Well, I selected さそり座の女, but the MV was too disgusting so they decided to skip it before I could sing even three lines. The MV started with a wig dropped on the ground, followed by two men. One was sitting before the mirror, fixing back his woman wig, the other was on the bed, half naked. So it was too frivolous and they skipped it.

There was also some Cantonese songs lik 千千阙歌 and 曼珠沙华. Enjoyed a lot of singing. Decided that there was not enough time so they rushed through all the later songs which them spammed totally. Like 5 pages in an hour. We didn't complete them of course but it was fun.

Also had some very high songs like Sweat (A La La La La Long) and Umbrella. Ended with 我难过 and we basically screamed the song. :D Heavy metal style.

Karaoke is great for relaxing. And it's not so extravagant, so really, we should visit it more often.

I should post some photos, but they are still with Marvin and he's too lazy to get the cable, so we shall wait.

So much work waiting for me. *sighs* I shall watch more Crayon Shinchan for the time being. :D

Oh yes, did I mention that there was supposed to be girls going out today? But they decided that they were busy yesterday so they backed out. Well, the same price with more singing time for us. Ain't that bad a thing. :D

A La La La La Long~

Good Day~

ZARD - 素直に言えなくて

2009-06-15T22:47:00.002+08:00

作詞作曲：坂井泉水
歌：ZARD

星降る夜は　いつも　Lonely-night
　溜め息で　霞んでる
　冷たい　ベッドは　少し
　広すぎて　眠れない

※やさしすぎるから　つらくなってゆく
　このまま　ずっと　気付かないふりで
　笑顔に変えたいの

　”ひとりにしないでね”って　素直に　言えなくて

　腕を組んで　歩いた　Rainy-night
　あたたかさに　酔って
　夢を　見て　いたいから
　うしろは　振り向かない

　楽しかったけど　つらくなってゆく
　これからは　強くなるから
　きっと　涙は　見せないわ

　”ひとりにしないでね”って　素直に　言えなくて

※Repeat

The nights when stars fall are always lonely nights

Mist appears as I sigh

The cold bed is a little

Too wide, ahh, I can't sleep.

*Because I was too nice, things started to become difficult

At this rate, always, acting like I have not noticed

I want to change it to a smile

"Don't leave me alone," I could not say it straightforwardly.

Holding hands as we walked, Rainy Night

I got drunk in your warmth

Because I want to dream

I don't turn to look back

It was fun, but things started to become difficult

From now on, I will become strong

I will not show you my tears

"Don't leave me alone," I could not say it straightforwardly.

*Repeat

Quite a few days since I last updated.

Let's see, finally, ECP is over, but we were all left with some very memorable and lasting memories of it. We were given 20 pieces of work assignments. To be done in two weeks. :D

Well, was seriously touched by Mr Lee's pep talk yesterday. That part about never walking alone. He's such a great teacher and someone just fails to appreciate him. Some people are just stupid.

Well, moving on to happier topics, I GOT MY NEW ZARD CD. :D

My aunt went to Hokkaido two weeks or so ago and I got her to buy me ZARD's newest single, Sunao ni Ienakute, the version with the DVD of Ano Hohoemi wo Wasurenaide performed during the What a Beautiful Memory Tour 2008.

That was the CD cover. :)

Alright, we've got so much work and so little time. *sighs* But we'll endure this hell and excel~ Yes, it rhymes.

Gonna enjoy all of these two weeks.

Gonna end this post with the edited music video of Sunao ni Ienakute. The video itself was from the 1991 version, but the song is the new one.

"Don't leave me alone," I could not say it straightforwardly.

4 more days left till the merciful two weeks holidays. Looking forward. But I'll have to persevere through this 4 days of random hell.

Every teacher is spamming cartloads of homework on us, and it is really demoralizing to see our results for tests and assignments being so low. *sighs*

Well, the holidays is sure a good motivation to work hard for. Two weeks to regroup and put our thoughts in order would be nice.

Recently I have been quite interested in DAIGO, the special guest voice actor for Detective Conan Movie 13. Well, his band, BREAKERZ's, song, Everlasting Luv was made to be Detective Conan's opening theme for recent episodes, it was quite mesmerizing. Also, don't forget Garnet Crow's new single, Doing All Right.

DAIGO is actually the grandson of a previous Japanese Prime Minister, so he's actually sort of a higher class person, but well, he sounds funny and all.

And I have defeated the Elite Four in my Pokemon Emerald. :D Tried on Saturday night with my dream team of all level 47. Died at Drake because they were too weak. Trained somemore and challenged again on Sunday with all at level 53. Won with my Blaziken slashing Wallace's Milotic. It used surf on me and my Blaziken was left with 1HP, and I beat him. :D

Video Time! Everlasting Luv by BREAKERZ.

Okay, I'm feeling random again. I should sign off.

Good Day.

Yesterday:

Lessons were supposed to have ended at 1330, but it dragged on all the way until 1430 because we were told to stay back to have our bags checked. Apparently 4F got their stuff stolen and they were investigating to find the culprits. Gee...

Okay, went home and my parents told me that we were going to John Little Mega EXPO sale. So we went and changed my brother's pants for a larger size because he was too fat. There, I also got a new pair of Levi's sneakers, a new pair of shorts, and a new slingbag. All together they were barely $80. The usual price of the bag was $79, I got it at $33. :D

Have been playing so much of Pokemon Emerald recently. Restarted that game because the old thing wasn't working well. Now I'm still quite under level. My Blaziken is at level 40, the rest were all 39 or something. Which is bad, I need around level 60 to get through the Elite Four without a scratch.

And today, school, followed by the English 'O' Level seminar. Two examiners from Cambridge came to give a lecture on what to do and what not to do during our English papers.

Another 3 hours of Physics Lecture tomorrow morning, followed by SGSG in the afternoon. Well, life is hard.

I don't know what to do now. I shall play a little bit more of Pokemon then go to sleep. Good Day.

English Prelims Oral. XD

Quite a breeze, the picture was understandable, the conversation topic was quite bizarre, but somehow I managed to think of something which sounded logical.

The conversation prompt went like that:

1) There are various heritage centers in Singapore, have you ever visited any?

So I talked about how MOE organizes trips to Chinatown, Kampong Glam and Little India, and how I've learned about the history of Singapore, how our forefathers worked hard to earn a living, how the coolies endured so much sufferings and how we should always remember these experiences of our forefathers and thank them for their grooming. Something like that.

2) It seems like you are quite interested in our heritage. So, which part of heritage do you think is the most important?

(Yes, which PART of heritage.)

I stunned for like 5 to 10 seconds, trying to understand what she meant. Then I said something about how the physical aspects like objects and monuments will spoil and be destroyed, but the thing that will live on are the thoughts and memories of the past. We should always pass on these tales to our younger generation, always reminding them that our success is not the be taken for granted, etc. Miss Trixie Lim thought it was good. :D

Okay, then it was more of Pokemon for the rest of the day. Groove for Pokemon is back! Have been replaying Pokemon Emerald since yesterday, now I have 6 badges and my dream team starting to come into shape.

Blaziken - Fire/Fighting
Tropius - Grass/Flying
Sableye - Dark/Ghost
Whiscash - Water/Ground
Solrock - Rock/Psychic
Magneton - Steel/Electric

I have 12 types in my team and they can counter any types that come. :D

Just that they need more intense training to fulfill their potential. And I need more money. XD

Anyways, something about school. No Mdm Sue's lessons today, that was what Sheryl said after she asked Miss Kaur. Went home early, skipped lunch, playing Emerald and slept.

Nothing much to do. Slacking right now. Maybe I should sign off already.

Good Day.

Today wasn't a good day. For the first time in my life, I was late for school! T_T

Because today is Tuesday, and my alarm clock for every Tuesday is set later. But today starts at normal time because it's extended programme. It started at 7.40am and I woke up at 7.55am. God.

Rushed to school and was still late. *sighs*

3 periods of A-Maths, followed by 2 periods of Physics. Draining and tiring. More to come. *sighs*

Recess, lined up for so long and there wasn't food at last. Had to stick with 3 seaweed chicken and nothing else.

Just finished writing a letter of apology to Mdm Sue for us not informing her of the Mock Exams schedule and having to make her waste her lessons plans. *sighs more*

Well, at least, we had some funny times. We took some random videos in class today. We had a Primal Split done by Marvin, Chongwei and Xinglai, Finger of Death and Impale by Xinglai and Marvin, Wind Walk by Qunjie... XD

Mum and Dad got me a pair of jeans from John Little Expo Sale. :D Wee~

Okay, I don't know what to say. I shall sign out for now. Good Day.

Yesterday:

Prize Presentation Ceremony at MOELC~ Left school at around 1215 to go MOELC for my Second in Level for Japanese for Secondary 3 2008 prize. Reached there at 1330, sat around and waited until 1500. Started the thingy, listened to some long talks. Went up finally to get my trophy which weighed a lot. Held it for so long during the reception that my left arm hurts now. XD

Today:

Woke up at 1200 and went out at 1300+ for SGSG at Yishun Library. Did Chemistry and A-Maths there. Then decided to walk around Northpoint with Qunjie and Duncan for a while and saw this Bossini up to 60% off sale. SMSed Dad and told him to come. He came later with Mum, shopped for a bit before going home.

Actual plan was to DotA. Gave it up because of lack of feel. Decided to go crazy about How Well Do You Know Me quizzes on Facebook. XD

I have nothing much to say. It's the holidays, not. Two more weeks of extended programme. *sighs*

Good Day.

Tired...

Didn't have Japanese class today, but had to go to the centre to collect my CA2 results and get the remaining stuff from Suzuki-sensei. Well, scored 69/73 for CA2. :D

Could have reached home earlier, hopped on Dad's car at Khatib MRT and that was a wrong decision. They took me to the supermarket and started to walk around, stopping to look at everything. Spent like more than 30 minutes there.

Mock exams are over! Chemistry was okay, and we had 2 situational writing for English. So boring. Miss Kaur then decided to use the assembly period to teach Oral skills. And our Prelims Oral is on 3 June. *faints*

Having Prize Giving Day @ MOELC tomorrow for my Second in Level for Japanese. :D

Oh, and my reflections was chosen for the school newsletter. The one on the Japan trip last year. I didn't realize that I wrote THAT long. It filled one whole page. XD

Alright, I think I should take a nap on the chair. Meanwhile, enjoy a video from GARNET CROW. No, not their new single, I'll post them when I'm not tired. Now, please enjoy a slow and sort of sad song, titled Kimi wo Kazaru Hana wo Sakasou, meaning, Let's Make the Flower Which Decorate You Bloom.

Good Day. :D

Hurrays! My computer is back functioning. Seems like a problem with my battery. Overused it I guess. I haven't unplugged it since we got this computer 3 years ago. So it died. Now that it's back, I shall try to treasure it. :D

This weekend had been quite mundane. Went for Physics lecture yesterday and then SGSG later in the afternoon. Did quite a bit of work, and now I'm back on the computer again. I don't know what to do.

Prize Presentation is next Friday, going back on Thursday to get my results from Suzuki-sensei. Having mock exams on Monday to Wednesday. Crap.

Alright, I'll go slacking.

Sports Carnival 2009. Did nothing much. Sat around, watched some games. Sort of participated in the crocodile thingy and didn't win any shit. Lost like crap. Too sad to elaborate.

I'm down on luck. My computer just died. I don't know if it was overworked or it contracted some terminal illness because I downloaded too many random stuff. It shuts itself down for no reason. Or rather, it goes POOF and the screen goes off, together with everything else. GOD.

Well, shall take this time off computer to do some work. I need to catch up on my Mathematics and things like that. And we're going for Physics Supplementary tomorrow morning, followed by SGSG in the afternoon.

I shall go rest now and do some work.

I still have my Social Studies homework to do. And I'm blogging. Why? Because I feel a strong urge to vent my feelings right now.

Today was a bad day. Very bad. Besides the fact that I was tired like throughout the day, like always, we had a lot of work. Miss Kaur was absent. That seemed like good news for the first half of the day, until Mdm Yeo came into our class while Miss Kaur was being relieved by Junhong. And she threw some Chemistry SPA Skill 3 worksheets at us, and they were due TOMORROW.

Then later during Social Studies, Mdm Sue came into class. And she gave us a lecture on how we must read up and how 4H = Hopeless. She said she doesn't see effort in our work. I can't even bring myself to put in effort into my life, not to mention my work. She said we should put in all our hearts when doing work. If I were to have done that, I would have died of a heart failure long ago. I don't have that strong a heart to put into my work, really.

I'm still having my Japanese CA2 tomorrow. And all those crap and what not. I feel screwed.

Well, a piece of not so good nor bad news. Got back our Higher Chinese composition today. Well, my situational writing was average, my composition scored 41/70. Sounds bad? I was like the second in class. The highest was 43. Mdm Goh really kills people with her composition marking.

Anyways, I shall go complete my Social Studies. I left my SBQ paper in school. And Marvin was nice enough to scan it in for me so I can at least complete it and hand it in by tomorrow.

Good Day. And it's damn warm outside.

Holy, today was quite infernal. Had mock exams for Physics and E-Maths. E-Maths was okay, but we didn't really have enough time to complete the paper. I managed to, somehow, but one question was left blank because really, what did the gradient show?

Physics was the killer. Seriously. Like everybody taking the paper didn't know how to do it. I only did like half a question of section C, where I should have done 3 questions. Section B was totally killer with questions totally out of the blue and I've forgotten about most of the Secondary 3 stuff. Lenses, tension, pulley, I need to dig them out and I need Mr Lee's help. XD I really gotta buck up and stop being complacent about my Physics. Hehe.

Alright, moving on to happier topics. Wait, there doesn't seem to be any. Oh yes, I entered the Semi-Finals for my Japanese Speech Contest. My speech was about "Love". Yes, the big word which I don't understand. But I chose this topic because it was easy to expand on.

More mock exams next week. Going crazy. I still haven't touched my Fall of Venice template. *sighs*

I shall go work on it now.

Before I sign off, today is the 16th anniversary of Yureru Omoi by ZARD.

Enjoy the nice song.

I haven't updated in a week. No, I wasn't really that busy. Just that nothing special happened. Whatever. XD

Had mock exams today. The Express Chinese students were taking their Express Chinese mock exams to prepare for their 'O' Levels in June, while we just took other subjects. Had Social Studies and English today. Was crappy. Social Studies was manageable. English was crap. We had 2 hours to do what we thought was just a comprehension with vocabulary, without summary. Then I was about to fall asleep after completing, and then and there Mdm Samboo had to announce the question for the summary. With 30 minutes left and a totally unknown passage, I crapped through. XD

I also spent the past two days looking for a quote by ZARD which I found a month ago. Somehow I saw a picture of her with that quote, but I forgot where I saw it. I remembered roughly what it meant. I even put it as my MSN personal message that time. So I checked my personal message history and found it. It was from her poetry book. And it read:

さよならは決して「別れ」というネガティブな意味じゃなく　明日への｢はじまり」

Meaning, "Goodbye definitely does not imply something negative such as 'separation', but it means the 'start' to tomorrow." ZARD is indeed amazing.

Went for my maternal grandmother's birthday dinner on Saturday night at Yan Palace Restaurant. The food was nice, but I was quite full for some reasons and could not eat much. No idea why. I don't usually get full so easily. Hmm...

This past week was also quite Kouhaku Fancy Dress for me. Had been watching quite a bit of Mikawa Kenichi and Kobayashi Sachiko on YouTube. Here's a nice one. The song sounds catchy and the set up was cool. So is Mikawa Kenichi. XD

Enjoy.

I don't know why, I didn't take my temperature yesterday. I just took it. Guess what? 38.5 degrees Celsius. I'm officially down with a fever. With Physics SPA in just two days. DAMN. What sin have I committed, seriously?

Quite a confusing day. Decided last night that I should wake up early to go join the study group at Long John this morning. Well, it was because Mr Goh was there. But, I didn't have any Maths question to ask, so I decided to go later. Woke up at 10.15am when the session started at 8am. XD

Caught a bus there, did some Chemistry. Mdm Yeo really gives too much work. XD Then we had lunch at KFC, then more studies again. Then we went to play 1 hour of DotA before leaving for home.

Walked back, and somehow my whole body began to hurt on the way. Damn it, felt terrible after showering. Took a nap, and when I thought that I've slept for long, it seemed that I haven't slept for even 80 minutes. Weird.

Woke up still feeling quite terrible. Took a Panadol and sat before the computer again. The medicine took effect shortly after and now I'm feeling less painful. Still painful. XD

I wonder why things are so weird nowadays. Everything is messed up. >_<

Oh yes, and Mr Oh had his wedding today. LOL.

Gonna continue doing my work tomorrow. I don't know. Qunjie and Marvin are playing DotA now, I'm left alone again. *sighs*

It's the 14th Death Anniversary of Teresa Teng. Although I didn't know her when she died, I know that she had played a very important role in my life. It was partially because of her that my parents dated. I would like to express my utmost gratitude to her and thank her for the awesome songs she has sung.

Today was a dry day. So tired this morning. Slept so soundly yesterday night because I was so tired. Chemistry, Mdm Yeo gave us a pep talk about how we should balance our other lives and our studies, about how we should exercise and enjoy life to its fullest and not just focus on studying, although we have a lot of carry this year. I agree with her. I hope that this weekend can be constructive.

Played badminton during P.E. Didn't really do much, it was quite light.

Then had E-Maths Probability Test after recess. It was okay, but I think I have made some careless mistakes. Was really tired and unable to think well just now.

Miss Kaur began scolding people again today. I don't know. Life hasn't really been that smooth this year. I don't want to care. Crap.

Then we had Higher Chinese. Mdm Goh had to go for Oral Examinations, so Mr Oh came to relieve us. Wrote compo. So boring...

Then it was Geography supplementary. Seriously, I'm not catching up on Geography. I feel that my Geography is deproving. Can't concentrate in class. Somehow.

Miss Kaur again, had to finish her speech-writing assignment before I can leave. Added in some stuff and then went home. Slept for almost 4 hours and woke up to slack again. *sighs*

Going for study group tomorrow morning. Shall use this chance to do homework and catch up on things which I do not know.

Alright, I should sign off here.

Happy Birthday Programme Poon Chong Wei! LOL. Okay, it's like already 5 May now. And Happy Birthday, Kudou Shinichi. :D

Today was fresh. I first thought that we went back to our classrooms for morning assembly because of the imminent rain. But later it appeared that it was because of the Influenza A H1N1 that we had to cancel all assemblies for the morning pledge-taking and for after recess. Nice. :D

Heard some dramatic stuff this past weekend during the Zephyr Saturday Night Talk. Well, some were true and some were made up. All sounded interesting though. XD Especially Marvin's absolutely cool impromptu love story by the sea. I should ask him for permission to post it. XD

Weekends are getting nonconstructive nowadays. I don't know. Well...

Got my Herbalife products today. Finally, say goodbye to bad cleansers.

Some people are so lucky. Not that I'm being envious or jealous, but just passing a casual remark. Dont' you think so? Well, if that light rekindles, I would applaud the involved. :D No, not sarcasm. Really, I mean it.

My eyes are itching and closing. For one reason or another. I should sleep. Waking up early tomorrow to complete my Chemistry in school. *sighs* I hate homework.

Higher Chinese paper was manageable. Most of it at least.

Well it could have been better if only I didn't catch a cold WHEN the paper started. Am I like unlucky or what? I was fine all the way until when I received the paper. Gosh, swine flu... >_<

Was so tired and sick I decided to sleep for a bit just now, and like always, I overslept. Woke up at 12+am instead. Which explains why I'm still around at wee hours. With my nose still running.

Having a buffet tomorrow. Well, I hope I can eat. I hope I have my appetite tomorrow. Like, quite a large portion of the class fell ill today. What's wrong anyway. Coincidence?

Yes, and I had my Japanese class today as well. So tired. Had this sort of detective game where you had to use logical thinking to deduce the criminal and explain why you think that guy was the criminal, in Japanese. Well, it was quite fun. Too much Detective Conan makes you really good at deduction. :D

But it would be nice if we had more clues. Just statements from people don't help much.

Well, it's just a game, so there goes.

I don't know what I should do now. I can't sleep. *sighs* Maybe I'll watch some Conan.

Marriage

2009-04-29T23:17:00.002+08:00

Continuing with the topic about marriage discussed during Mdm Sue's lesson like mentioned in my previous post today, I suddenly felt like posting something about marriage.

Well, she mentioned something about marriage being no longer everlasting, which I think is quite true. Marriages get annulled so easily and so childishly. Tying the knot no longer means that the couple are stuck to each other for the rest of their lives. It just means that they are now legally together, but this knot can be untied as and when both parties agree to it. Why do people then get married so hastily before even finding someone they truly understand and love?

And what I responded to her question was this. Marriage is entwined with many other aspects of life. After marriage, one has to share his finances with the other half, they have to share the burden, change their lifestyles to complement each other and put in consistent effort to nurture their marriage such that it does not end. Like what I have thought of the other day, marriage is like a conversation. It takes both parties' active participation to ensure that it will last and be lively. If only one party is doing all the talking, or worse, nobody is talking, then the marriage will eventually die like a conversation.

For a marriage to be everlasting, both parties must love each other. However, this is easier said than done. Love may die off. It is not easy to keep love up for eternity, it might even be impossible to do so.

Though saying so, I believe that love is a very special feeling that does not come easily, much less true love. If one is really in love, then that special feeling should be cherished and not wasted. If two cannot be together, it is always alright to stay as friends.

Well, this post had been random. Wishing all loving couples eternal happiness and togetherness. :D

It's Chinese Mid-Year tomorrow? I haven't even noticed it. Not in the mood to study. I still have my Japanese homework to do and my head feels awfully out of place. Hmm...

Just had my Root Beer Float and now I'm totally not in the mood to do work. Shit, back to my old self again. STOP IT!!!

Had Mdm Sue's lessons again today. It was less heavy today, we were discussing livelier topics like marriage and such. But I was really tired, so tired I felt like sleeping during Mdm Sue's lessons. Of course I would not.

Oh yes, and we also had health checkup today. Wasted around 1 hour of our time. Did some work there and slacked around, playing True or Dare and something stupid like that. Had a great laugh over dancing before the checkup room. XD

My vision without glasses: R 6/36, L 6/60. XD

My vision with glasses: R 6/09, L 6/09.

Hey, I hadn't even finish reading those stuff when she cut me off. How does she know that much?

And so we joined in Geography lessons halfway through.

Slept in this morning since school started at 9am. I love Tuesdays.

Well, the morning was quite unbearable. The heat was killing everyone. I hope this no longer comes again.

Oh yes, and I was told that I should not shake my legs because it makes me look like a retard in my class. But if I don't shake my legs, my blood cannot flow. =.= LOL

It's health check up tomorrow. Well, we get to skip some lessons, and it will be really boring. Eye check, and I think that's all. Nothing else. It's boring. Gah.

It's HMT Mid-Year examinations this Thursday. Gotta get pass it and enjoy the Sakura Buffet on Friday. Labour Day. Yay.

Oh yes, we had this stupid National Education Quiz in the computer lab today and we sort of missed CLVS2 for it. The quiz was quite retarded. Really. And, what's Mee Pok Man? Was there ever such a movie?

We're getting a lot of new furniture in near August because my aunt is moving and she will be getting newer ones. We'll take hers and change the layout of the house. :D That will be in August anyways. Probably around my birthday.

My birthday is still far away. XD

Recently I'm quite hooked on the dance for Koi wa Thrill, Shock, Suspense of Detective Conan. Conan is so cute. XD

Also watching quite a lot of Tegomass's videos on YouTube. They're really funny. Haha.

The stifling heat is killing me. Man, I'm already losing the will to do work and you have to deter me further with this heatwave? This is getting crappy. I'm melting.

Seriously, sitting in class is like sitting in an oven. The surroundings feel even warmer than my body temperature. I should go for a swim this weekend or something. Such that it would actually rain. XD

School days are TERRIBLE when you get roasted in class with lame classes and boring topics to study. Really. The workload never seems to lighten and yet we are dying of heat. *sighs*

The plant is dying. Really. People, save the earth, when it dies, you won't live either.

Okay. I have nothing much to say. The heat is making me lose my marbles. To prevent saying anything wrong, I shall sign off. :D

I passed my 2.4~ Okay, it's not anything to be so proud about, but for me who really really suck at sports because I'm really really lazy, I'm quite glad that I've passed. :D

I'm hungry. It's like 0154 hours and I didn't have dinner. Well I did, at like 5+pm? And I slept, and woke up, had ice-cream and starved until now.

Oh, and the night before, the wind was so strong. Like, 83km/h and that was like the strongest wind recorded in Singapore for the past 9 years? Yes, all the stuff from the kitchen sink came flying down. And that night, the clouds stained the sky red with fury as lightning bolts flashed through the thick layer of clouds. How artistic. Well, it just made me feel emotional somehow. XD

But today was stifling. I can't cope with the heat very well, I get agitated when it's hot.

One random story of life. It just occurred to me that it was funny.

The Oily Analogy. When you integrate a differentiated equation, you get back the original equation before differentiation. So there. Mr Goh explained it this way. "It like your margarine. You melt it, it becomes liquid, and when you put it back into the fridge, it becomes solid again. You get back same thing." How oily. XD

I'm trying to make this post long. But it's late in the night and I can't think of stuff. Seriously, I need some excitement in life.

Good Day.

Happy Earth Day! How have you contributed to saving the Earth today? XD

Not trying to become like Qunjie, whose blog is really full of philosophical stuff, but I think that we really should put a bit of effort into conserving the Earth. After all, it's the only place we can live in and this is not your home, not my home, this is OUR home. Why do we fight for personal fame and defend our properties but not fight for Earth?

Okay, it's Earth Day, and this semi-tree-like being is throwing its weight about. Like I'll believe what a lifelong faker has to say.

Forgetting things like that, let's move on to more human-life topic. Yes, life. Okay, it's Biology SPA tomorrow. I hate these stuff. Burns my brain.

Mr Goh is absent again today. Had a few free periods these two days and yea, we just wasted them like all the other periods. XD

And seriously, recently, I've been watching The Oprah Winfrey Show recommended by Marvin. It's really interesting, every episode is of a new topic and they affect our lives in one way or another. :D

I don't know what else to talk about. I shall sign off here. Good Day~

Today, I saw ZARD online on MSN! OMG!!!

Frustrated. It's warm and stuffy and I'm bored.

And there's this prick in class who thinks that just because he was rejected by a girl he can annoy everyone around him and thinks that he has all the reasons in the world to go crazy at people around him. It's disgusting. A guy who thinks that he has won the race but ended up slipping on a banana peel and having others overtake him. Pathetic. A guy who laughs at others without considering himself being way worse than others. Shameless. A guy who thinks that he can force his mindset into others just because others' mindsets differ from his. Selfish. A guy who cannot pull himself up after a fall. Cowardly.

Think about it. There's no one else around with the same qualities. Annoying and irritating.

That's what we've come out with today.

Anyways, today the Vice President of the United Nations Association of Singapore came to our school to give a talk about the United Nations. Sounds powerful eh? Sort of.

But well, today was long. Class, Higher Chinese, UN Talk, English. So boring.

And I can't find a decent game to play. Screw it. I'm like roasted. So warm...

Gaah... Aching all over.

NAPFA 5 items today. Quite glad that I managed to pass all of them. Didn't do that well for Standing Board Jump though, I forgot to take off my shoes, and when I did it later without my shoes, my back was already aching from the other stations, and then I couldn't jump. *sighs*

No idea why, but my back is aching for no reasons. The spine, feels like I sprained it or something. Never mind, it will heal.

Well, at least I managed to do ONE pull up just now. Took all my energy and forced one out of myself. The teacher-in-charge there was Mr Lee anyways. XD

Okay, then the rest of the day was just lamely boring.

Skipped Japanese class today because of NAPFA.

Oh yes, I haven't updated this for quite some time because my home internet modem adapter when berserk and screwed my whole modem up. So I was out of internet since Saturday. Only got it back today when Dad got the new adapter, with the warranty.

So tired, Chemistry test tomorrow. And, 2.4km run next week. My greatest nightmare. I really need to train. *sighs*

Alright, I shall sign off here. Good Day~

*sighs* Terrible weekend. Okay, it was long, with a Sports Day and Good Friday, but seriously, so boring and not constructive.

Didn't manage to do any work up till now. I feel like a failure. Why can't I just find my motivation to do my work? My mind wanders elsewhere all the time, procrastinating over and over again, while homework just piles up endlessly. There is so much work in my bag I don't even feel like digging them up and finding what I need to do! Terrible crap.

And, my internet has got some problems again. *sighs* My home is cursed.

Some people are just so carefree, being able to push themselves to complete their work and yet still find the time to enjoy life to its fullest, going out with people they enjoy being together with, while I'm just stuck here in hell, faced with tonnes of homework that never seems to be finished. Seriously.

I try to complete part of their work, but they give twice of what I can complete everyday. How do I complete them? I feel shitty.

Everyday is like a new beginning of the lamest chapter in the lamest book. What is there to look forward to? Homework? Stress? This life is just so lame. So wanting to die.

I see why students murder their teachers and commit suicide. I feel like doing the same thing as well.

*sighs* I want to see meaning in life. There is none.

*sighs* This is lame. *sighs*

Whatever. *sighs*

Yay~ I'm done with my CCA!

Right, went there today and completed my stuff and I no longer have to attend it any longer. Officially stepped down. :D

I might be going to watch the musical performance next week at MOELC. Heard that Sakai Namiko-san will be going there for the Taiko performance.

And darn, I'm tired. I have Mdm Sue's lessons tomorrow. And I haven't studied my Spelling List. Crap. Shall do that tomorrow morning.

And I have Show and Tell. Shall do about this photo frame thing which I got from Japan. :D

Oh yea, it's someone's birthday today and I completely forgot about it until Qunjie reminded me after school. XD

Let's see, it's April's Fool tomorrow. What can we use to trick teachers...?

I shall go think while I'm sleeping. I'm tired. Good night.

Aha, it's been like more than a week since my last post. Had been quite busy recently over the randomest stuff.

So they came back from Nepal last Saturday, and ya, there was nothing too special.

And I forgot to post this yesterday because I was so tired. Happy Birthday Qunjie~ Lols.

And umm... oh yes. Seems like Mdm Sue wanted to start a value-adding lesson for the top few English students in the class, and got Manvinder Kaur to choose. Somehow, I was chosen. O_o.

And I went today. Quite some stress, but quite motivating. :D

And I should officially step down from CCA starting this week, but I'll be staying around for a few more weeks just to finish up one more seal before I 功成身退. :D

Then I'll have more time to complete my work and stuff like that. I'm starting to feel motivated. Please, motivation, stay with me.

Alright, life has been just like that. Haven't had much happening around me recently.

But yea, we all had great laughs these few days in class. Mainly because of AOI and Xinglai. Everyone sort of knows that AOI likes Xinglai, and lol...

Yesterday, after Higher Chinese lessons, Chongwei grabbed AOI's TIME Magazine and placed it on Xinglai's desk. He didn't notice it at all, thinking that it was a promotional booklet by Ngee Ann Polytechnic. So I told him that the girl on a random page is very pretty, and he picked it up, thinking that it was the same book. He flipped through and flipped back to the cover page.

"Heh? Why do I have a TIME Magazine?"

The whole class burst out laughing. XD

And today. Xinglai came back late after recess, and then AOI uttered "Why so late?" at him.

The whole class burst out laughing again. XD XD

Let's wait for more to come. :D

Okay, I still have some work to complete. Good Day~
