So...since my monkey computer ate up my last post, i'm doing this for friday and sunday.

friday:
aces/teachers' day. we did the fun dance, and (thanks to brendan for reminding me) kee yong was going around dancing like he was drunk or something. teachers' day celebration was kinda fun. the items were wonderful. 'one night in beijing...' i NEVER want to hear that again. teachers who were old boys wished their teachers a happy teachers' day too...touching indeed.

sunday:
went to lincoln's place for class party/teachers' day celebration. his dog is just about the cutest thing in bishan. went aroung taking photos. got quite good ones too. there was a 'blackout warning', or rather, we brought in the cake for denis. then we played DD for a while. we had quite a good time actually.

some lyrics i got my hands on:

Mirai - Open Up Your Mind

moshimo ima subete ga umaku nante ikanai
makesou ni naru toki datte
hitomi wo tojireba kokoro kara
sekai ga miete kuru


In this world when life can be so tough
You must be strong
Just believe in yourself and don't you fear
So open up your mind and close your eyes
Take another look from the other side

kodoku na yoru demo mayoi osoreru toki mo
ima wa hitori demo kono ashi de doko made mo
aruite ikeru hazu dakara


Just hold on tight hitomi tojita nara
Look inside yourself kagayaki ga aru kara
Yes, subete shinjite hoshii
You can take another look from the other side

Just hold on tight kokoro kujikete mo
Reach into your soul ashita ga mienakute mo
Yes, ikiru tsuyosa ga areba
You can take another look from the other side
ai no subete ni deau made...

kono sekai de ikinuite-iku tame no tsuyosa wo
anata ni negatte-iru kara
kokoro no tobira wo hiraitara
nanika ga miete kuru


Just remember you are not alone
So don't you fear
Even though you're miles away
I'm by your side
So open up your mind and close your eyes
I'll be there for you no matter where you are

hoshi no inochi nara nagai kedo itsu made mo
onaji kono hibi ga kurikaesu wake ja nai
ashita wa dare ni mo mienai


Just hold on tight hitomi tojita nara
Look inside yourself kodou kanjiru kara
Yes, "MIRAI" shinjite hoshii
You can take another look from the other side

Just hold on tight kokoro kujikete mo
Reach into your soul ashita ga mienakute mo
Yes, chigau sekai ga atte
You can take another look from the other side
ai no subete ni deaeru yo...

Just hold on tight hitomi tojita nara
Look inside yourself kodou kanjiru kara
Yes, "MIRAI" shinjite hoshii
You can take another look from the other side

Just hold on tight kokoro kujikete mo
Reach into your soul ashita ga mienakute mo
Yes, chigau sekai ga atte
You can take another look from the other side
ai no subete ni deau made...

Just finished watching the Samurai X movie. AERIAL AMAKAKERU RYU NO HIRAMEKI!!!!!!!!! wonderful. really wonderful. too bad most of the people died. too bad there was no hiko either. then again, i don't really see a place for hiko to fit in...so maybe it's all for the best. i know i'll sleep well tonight...actually, i won't be sleeping, i'll be remembering the movie. and to quote a passer-by, "it's ok, samurai boy"

Thursday, August 28, 2003

Turns out that differentiation isn't as tough as i thought. hee. i think i can actually do well in this.

tomorrow is teachers' day/aces. fun dance. oh boy. i'm considering skipping, but lately all the excuses all seem so...old. i guess i may not be skipping after all...unless i think of a new excuse. so...schedule for tomorrow: bo liao around in school until 10, go home for a change, maybe watch LXG. i've been meaning to catch it for the LONGEST time. hope it hasn't stopped showing. all i've heard were positive reviews.

*NOTE*: Samurai X movie at 2200. BETTER CATCH IT

Wednesday, August 27, 2003

I may actually PASS english...if i do, i win. today was rather short. we had THE TALK by the big 3 again. continued the video. those actors were so fake...

back to reality, we have to start a countdown: 6 more weeks to SA2, ie 1.5 months.seems long, but it isn't. oh well, wish me luck.

by the way, PLEASE don't call me between 7 to 8. there's something called sayuki that i must see. thanks.

Tuesday, August 26, 2003

I'm feeling quite sad today. firstly, i failed history and elec geog/ss. including maths, that's 3 down. so there must be only 1 failure in my languages (preferably chinese). i pray.

there was a change of place in class today. i got shifted all the way to the other side of the room. close to the door. which means that my place is the ideal target for theives, vandals and god knows what else. luckily, denis places high priority on missing stuff...so ^_^

Monday, August 25, 2003

Sooooo...history got postponed to term 4 week 1 friday. whee. glory. i didn't study for it anyway. thank whoever's up there that the holidays were so well-placed.

Someone from 3/4 got caned today. dm toh said he used handphone and typed in the han yu pin yin for tian xie han zi. too bad he got caught. speaking of dm toh, 2 things happened in his class today. we found out he's going to china to recruit 'foreign talent' for the school. he'll be gone 8 days. terence is taking over as dm for those 8 days...dm goh...nah. the second thing i learnt is that i have a new favourite cheng yu. fa fen tu qiang, or "gia sai tor bia". hope your hokkien is good enough to figure it out.

the newest XME episodes (from 310 onwards) seem to be screwy. i can't get a clear video. oh well. i'll find a way.

training was kinda boring i suppose...3 games, the usual. NOTE: figure out how the cane thingy works.

that's all for today.

Sunday, August 24, 2003

Sunday. approaching week 9. history test coming up. oh boy.

heard that kazaa got banned. now i'll have to look for an alternative download place. where?? good question.

so, i was playing ranma for zsnes. i can never give up, right? right. mousse is the best character i've tried so far. only because of his air-> ground attack. i'm confident i can win almost anybody. ^_^

soccer season starting...or rather, started a while ago already. a certain scooer fan also has psle...maybe i'll unsubscribe from scv for a month or two.

oh well. till i find more stuff to put here, this will have to do.

Saturday, August 23, 2003

I swear, parents (the female ones) should become nuns. even then, they'd be extremely bad tempered nuns.

typing this out at my cousin's place. it's a tradition that we go over every saturday. no ps2 this week. spoilt. no ps2=no KH. this time, i can't do anything about it. oh well. you can't have everything in life.

these few days, i feel rather 'jiao'...or irritable i suppose. don't know why. maybe i'm bored...you think?
I'm running out of ways to start a new entry. This is for friday.

well, the much-anticipated sodium/potassium + water demo today. no kick. none at all.

during history, thian had to teach another teacher to key in marks, ie free period. alvin was a bit sad. 100 push-ups. who ask him play cai quan. poor guy. all of us laughing like idiots.

stayed back to finish up some maths assignments. i must use this opportunity to apologize to daryl. i'm sorry, but i didn't know you must personally hand up the stuff yourself. sorry for causing you to lose the few marks.

overheard the sec 1 cheering competition. lousy. that's all. the judges' faces were -_-' ...something like that.

that about sums up friday.

as you can see, my life is not too interesting. any ideas to spice it up?

got this when i turned on the tv 5 mins early for saiyuki.

Thought about many decisions on the way home. to quote something i (over)heard today, "if you'll never regret this decision, do it. if you think you will ever look back at any point of your life and question this decision, better don't do it." I question many of my decisions. like my humans choice. i suppose it's the best as i suck at geog and hate lit.

one choice i never regretted was going to cat high. i don't know why i'm posting this on a public place such as here, but i think that was one of the best decisions of my life.

i need help. i'm looking forward to maths lessons. even though it's been my worst subject since june of my sec 1 year. oh well. maybe it's the atmosphere in a maths class.

i forgot to bring home the newspaper and compre/summary. toh & goh are going to be angry. hmmmm...T&G?? mayyyyybe...or not.

now all i can do is hope they forget. going to pray.

Wednesday, August 20, 2003

28/30 for chem common test. i loved my life for 4.5 periods, then grew to hate it again when i found out my physics got 22/40. v_v. oh well. you win some, you lose some.

so...i may be forced to drop a maths if i fail the test on friday. good luck to me.

*NOTE*: never get retained. you juniors lose ALL respect for you. *coughedwin'sinexcobutisstillhatedcough*.

i really have quite little to write these few days, don't i?

Tuesday, August 19, 2003

I only managed to get into the site by doing a google search...wow.

i'll never look at xi you ji the same way again. i swear, a monk with a gun that says "game over" as he kills a demon!!? not in this life...or so i thought. sanzo is THE monk. and when did goku turn into a little kid? with a GREAT appetite to boot. so many changes to the original storyline. oh well.

a maths common test. 15/30. "clear failure". not in the school's eyes. hee~. actually scraped a pass. lucky me.

heard i failed english though. well, what can i say? i didn't expect it.

if i can just pass history and the second elec geog test, i swear i'll volunteer for any project the school is doing, as long as there is no clash with CCA or other stuff. let all the readers of my blog bear witness to this.

that's all for today. got a compo to write.

Sunday, August 17, 2003

Gastric flu sucks...believe me.

out of action for 2 days...didn't even get to touch KH this week. oh well. i might not be in school tomorrow, depends on my condition.

i need to make a correction to my previous post. friday was the last episode of the FIRST SEASON of Ranma, or so AXN claimed. Ranma will be back in november!! glory...

i really don't know what else to add...very few things seem to be happening to me these few days. i guess my life is reverting to the 'uninteresting' phase. i'll probably update soon.

Friday, August 15, 2003

COMMON TESTS ARE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that that's off my chest...

happiest day of the year so far. now comes the saddest. waiting for results. oh well.

today is Ranma's last episode *3 mins of silence*...so this is basically a ranma commemoration post. i'll miss it...='(

pretty short for today...too happy to type more.

Thursday, August 14, 2003

I'm an underperformer. sad but true. denis just conformed it and i have to stay back every day to do maths. but i'm not the only one, if that's some consolation. there's 8 other people who got pulled into the proverbial water.

only got ss, argumentative, a maths and chinese left. all in ONE DAY. yahoo. if i make it to sec 4 without getting retained, i'll pray and worship every god i know forever. i mean this one. with my grades, if i don't die, miracles must be happening.

raining today. didn't get home until 5++. just because i had to stay back for maths "remedial". being in a classroom with people who can and will cause you EXTREME PAIN is not much fun. my arms will be amputated by the time i'm 25. better make the most of it now. ^_^

i really don't know what to say. now i'm actually worried i may be forced to drop *2* subjects. i got into shit for history and i DESPERATELY need to improve on it and on a maths as well. i need to scream. i really do. so here goes: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

That's all for anger management/stress relief today. till i need more...

Wednesday, August 13, 2003

Guess who got 20/30 for maths? *FINALLY* passed. slapped myself to make sure i wasn't dreaming. yay for me i guess.

so...there's geog elec tomorrow...tourism. shouldn't be TOO difficult, can only hope for pass. history got rescheduled, so going to 3/10 for lessons.

PC/assembly was rather...funny. we had this sex-ed talk, and the speakers were mrs. long, anna tan and toh yee lin. of all the people...oh well. maybe there's a reason for this, like all the other teachers were too embarassed...or something like that. halfway through, aaron kwek and brian heng got called out by edwin heng for making some stupid noises when they were going to show the video.

sec 1s had their napfa today. stayed back for a while to laugh at adam and xue hua...felt bo liao i guess.

so much for my day. maybe will post again later.

Tuesday, August 12, 2003

Well, just finished studying physics. not too tough. *MAY* pass. good for me. i really don't know what to say...life is rather...monotonous.wake up, go to school, come back from school, computer, ranma, work, maybe TV or more computer, sleep. same thing every day.

*you know who you are*, i'm sorry your blog died, but you did a good job of reviving it...especially with 1.50

i have to stop this cycle. somehow, it's not the same as sec 1 or 2. maybe i'm the one that's changing...oh well. who knows?
Ok...i think i may actually PASS maths!! denis gave encouraging words in the form of "oops, 10...oops, 12"...hehehe...lucky me. this topic has NO RELATION to algebra, which is probably why i'm doing so well.

Slacked for 2 periods straight. DM Toh didn't turn up for chinese, so free period. then got bio common test. thank god i don't take bio. went to library to read some sanguo. did NOTHING constructive except reviewing the battle of Guan Du and Wu Zhang Plains. fun all over...

mdm. gay got pissed off at us because we didn't want to present during PW period. *quote*"the madam isn't so gay already"*/quote*. we ended up doing it after school. stayed till 3++. our presentation didn't meet criteria as it had to tie in with SS. strange that we didn't know. who cares...i think my history won't fail anyway.

so, that's all i have today, except that there are 8 more Ranma epidodes before Sayuki takes over.

Monday, August 11, 2003

First day of PAIN. many many common tests so you can't even scout for answers. maths tomorrow (lucky never take bio), physics on wednesday i think, both humans on thursday, and argumentative, ss and a maths on friday. yahoo.

so, training just began. now i'm a treasurer. no kick. as long as not working with edwin then ok. maybe get to steal some $$...hehehehehehehe...

thian didn't come today...or rather she had oral. whee, i'm ALIVE!! tomorrow got common test, so i think i'm saved again. i love the schedule. yes i do.

so.......what else do i have to cover?? need to finish *quote cedric*DM Toh's*unquote* chinese...at most chiong tomorrow.

terence is away for the whole week. just wanted to share the joy.

can't think of more updates, so i'll just stop here for now.

Sunday, August 10, 2003

Well, no holiday tomorrow. training resumes tomorrow. history not done tomorrow. gonna die tomorrow. whee.

100% school tomorrow...DAMN... too bad national day fell on saturday. next year, it's gonna be monday. yay for the general population of singapore. bishan is becoming more patriotic today...now got 5 flags.

training tomorrow. carry a ball there, carry an empty bag back. oh well. got to do accounts some more. wont reach home before 6.50++. hope i don't miss ranma. 4th or 5th last episode already.

lately, i seem to be making more typos. is it i'm too rushed or too distracted or too...whatever. who knows?

history not done. STUPIDLY left the book in school. thian will have my ass this time. oh well...as long as not forced to drop ok already.

that's all i have for now...should be updating tomorrow...or maybe later. see how.

Saturday, August 09, 2003

Listening to Bon Jovi...i dont know why i tell the people reading this my choice of music. maybe just for a good intro. ^_^

firstly, happy national day...*insert sentimental patriotic things that people will forget by tommorow here*. done.

i don't know why i try to update every day, maybe the novelty hasn't worn off. or maybe i have nothing better to do. or maybe i do it just for the hell of it. who knows? not me.

so...national day. not very enthusiastic response. grand total of 3 flags flying. im not one of them. ^_^ maybe because monday no holiday. will update soon...

Friday, August 08, 2003

apparently, the fairies slacked off today (refer to previous post). we got 2nd, with phillippe coming in first. must be because of the staff race. never saw terence and kee yong run so fast. quite sure that KY didnt give 100% though. he was too far in the lead. house spirit is contagious. for me at least. went down to help cheering. WHAT WAS I THINKING??

this sec 1 boy, shawn lee (sp?) ran for us even though he had a fractured wrist. good effort shawn, if you ever read this.

oh well. so much for sports day.

in the stadium, i met lots of old friends. talked a lot (when we were not cheering). i realize i haven't PROPERLY talked with some of them for a long time. lots of catching up. i miss 2/5 i suppose. made some new friends from other levels also. mainly sec 1 and 2. wonder how sports day next year will be like, sec 4 and all.

there's some things which no matter how much you want to say them, can never be said. even the internet cannot hide 100% of your identity. all you can do is keep it inside...or write a diary and burn it later.

maybe not.

as a smart guy once told me, "blogs are a good way of letting off steam" (sorry if this is not the exact quote). now, i couldn't agree more. although this is still realtively new, it's done wonders for me.

Thursday, August 07, 2003

today was rather stupid, actually. english, double chinese, chem, recess, double maths, house meeting. no movies for chem today. too bad. maths is getting more and more relaxed. there must be an evil plot to keep us back another year in sec 3.

house meeting was, to put it simply, a flop. nobody wanted to cheer. with this lack of team spirit, we can still be in the lead. some fairies must be HARD at work here. ^_^

even though esplanade concert and SYF are both over, the band still keeps practising. to say it nicely, they are extremely hardworking. to say it less nicely, they are persistent little buggers (NOTE: No offense WHATSOEVER to band members that chance upon this). speaking of band...there's this irritatig little...irritant. Toh something-or-the-other from 2/1. If you EVER do read this, do the world a favour and stop following in kevin teo's footsteps.

tomorrow is sports day/nat day celebration. to skip, not to skip, or get an MC? i wonder...i'll decide tomorrow. till then.

Wednesday, August 06, 2003

so i did get my hands on a ps2. *note that all names are not revealed to maintain privacy* to the person who made it possible, THANKS!!.

i'm redirecting my KH experiences to another blog so that it wont take up too much space here.

today was pretty slack. we saw a total of 4 teachers for lessons throughout the whole day. wednesdays rule. there was combined assembly. 100 mins of drama. congratulations to all 3/6 lit students for winning something in the competition!!

after school the comm had a little meeting at SICC. quite funny, actually. raised a lot of topics. 5.30 when i reached home. played a little KH (i found a power point that doesnt cause the game to hang every 5 mins. whee for me.)

Oh well, thats all for today.

Monday, August 04, 2003

maybe theres hope...i may be able to get my hands on a ps2 tomorrow. i'm praying

Friday, August 01, 2003

I feel...depressed. Just read 'I am David' again. really well written. from now on, i'll drop the good english here and forget about capitalization and other minor grammatical errors.

i'll get to touch KH tomorrow and forge the ultima weapon. i'm meeting many old friends in school these days, dunno why. all make me think of 2/5. good days. i really need to scream more to let off steam. i wont go loony so soon. still have x-men evolution episodes to watch ^_^. just testing some html tags:

hi
hi
hi
hi
Well... FRIDAY. whee whee whee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rather boring. Guess who failed maths (again). All the people that read this have the right to kill me if i take a job that has more complex maths than 1 + 1.

Heard the choir & band rehearsing for Esplanade. Not too bad (although, who am i to judge?).

Training doesnt start for another week, so these are my last few days of free time. I'm sure you can tell there's a lot going on in my life, no?

Till next time.
