Back again. Haha, been blogging a lot recently but I just want to start polishing up my grammer and vocab for the up & comin' O levels examination, which in my opinion is a horrible plan that destroys the happy memories of a childhood and traumatises all of us.

Anyway, back to Saturday. One my my favourite days in the week, cuz yesterday was the last school day and tomorrow there's no school. Woke up at 11am after sleeping at 3am. Haha, conversing with Jos till 3 am is a sure fire way of letting you get to sleep. No offence intended. But yea, after that I went to my aunt's house to have breakfast with my grandma. And I went to my cousin's house to collect a pair of specs my dad had forgotten to bring home before. Then headed home and took a nap. Went to FORUM for my bro's drama lesson/examination today. Then hung round Macs for 2 hours. Yea, after his lesson I had dinner at pepper lunch and on my way back walking through Borders my brother asked me to look up. Haha, saw the pretty lights all around which I never noticed a lot before.


The circle of lights.

Covers my day. As you can see it wasn't exactly eventful. Hmm....I got to finish my art pieces by this week and that's a MUST. Ah well, I'll just have to make time to do everything I gotta do. (:

Oh yea, my bro just got his first tooth "extracted" or rather...plucked out. Here's a pic of his smile. Haha.


Toothy grin, huh?

Well, catch ya'll next time. Ciaoz.

Had a bad start to the day...was late for school. But who cares? Anyway, by the time I got there everyone was alrdy at the sports hall giving out prizes to teachers. I think this year is probably the most touching year for teacher's day where Mr Lawrence Mak was nearly in tears for S4-A2 of 2008 when all the different students gave him the gifts. They even got him a jersey. Haha, talk about class spirit. This love-hate relationship between Mr Mak and us is quite a funny thing since we nearly made him pop a blood vessel in class at S3-A2 last year. The he thought that it was going to horrendous in Sec 4 but we did one better, and did improve on our behaviour by a bit at the least to say. Haha, Mr Mak is like one of the coolest math teachers I have ever had. He is probably louder than Mr Leong my Pri 6 Math teacher who had a reputation of lifting lil' primary school kids by their collars and yelling at them in their faces. Despite that, I think I am on friendlier terms with Mr Mak because of his openess and love for our class. Even though he says he gave up hope and what not, deep down we all know he cares. Lol, there's an excerpt written by my fellow classmate to Mr Mak on teacher's day:

"Hey MR MAK: Firstly a very happy teachers day. From the bottom of my heart a big thank you for all the help these past two years... your help was as indefinable as like the Geometrical Proofs ..... your jokes never failed to put a smile, like the Cosine curve, on our faces. Yes at times you might have appeared to some to be inconsistent like the Sine curve, having many MAX points and MIN points, BUT to me your Interquartile Range = 0 ... you were constant through out ... always great! If a graph of the humour of teacher against their effectiveness was plotted, you will be at the MAX point. You are the Angle of Elevation for our distinctions. The Probability of you not caring = 0. Your hard work is equivalent to the absolute valued function of a graph ... never on the negative side ... if we were to Differentiate you, we will get your Gradient function: Assuming that gradient functions = to a teacher who has the passion to teach ... we respect you ... after all the trouble and pain we put you through you never fail to come back stronger and continue to teach us ... I honestly thank you so much for all the hard work .... you were amazing and splendid! Happy Teachers' Day! - Cumara"

How appropriate for a Math teacher who is probably ending his career in teaching Math for English since he is an original English teacher. (: So after the prize presentation, we headed off to Lido for the screening of "Money no Enough 2", my third time watching it. But it was cool with all the students and teachers. With all the class jokes like "Hwa Fen" the pollen supplement where Pereira and co. laughed at Pek. then the whole class joined in. After the movie we had a dialogue session with Jack Neo. He's a cool guy, Shaun says he sounds a bit like Mr Peh. So after all was said and done we all rushed off to Seoul Garden.

So Lucas, Nicholas, Ke Li, Ian, Jeremy, Benjamin, Shaun and I walked to Takashimaya to get our seats at Seoul Garden. So we got settled in early and everyone got to the seats.


The first few to get settled in, and Lucas is in the spotlight again. Haha.

So we had our long lunch. And everyone did all that crazy stuff again. Cook crap on the trays. Throw in Coke...that kind of stuff. And after our lunch, cuz we had time we decided to just walk round and look for Ke Li's new slippers cuz his broke yesterday. So our first stop was at Stadium.


Nicholas playing the guitar with the guitar in the bag. Haha.

[edit]

Some Giant Crocs outside the store.


Size comparision, I'm a size 11 by the way. LOL

The we walked to Artfriends for a bit to get the clay Lucas needed for his new baby cousin's first footprint. Cute idea...lol. This continued to Heeren where we saw the stores selling Ed Hardy products, Reef, 77th Street and finally Everlast. Where Ke Li got his slippers and Lucas bought Nicholas a Billabong wallet from 77th Street.

So after that Shaun, Ke Li and I headed and walked to Plaza Singapura cuz Shaun and I were to meet Julia. So Shaun and I went to Mos Burger to hang out while waiting for Julia. Then we took a bus to Bukit Panjang for cellgroup at Eunice's house where it was held in the function room. Then we had decorations, games and praise & worship and I had to head off. Sad but true. Got home and rested. I missed someone.

Well, that's a wrap on my day. And still Happy Teacher's Day. Still got a few teacher's I have not personally thanked yet. Will do soon.

Finally found time to talk to a close friend of mine. I have felt recently that maybe because of my schedule, we have not been communicating as often. So the relationship weakened a bit. But I prayed about it and thank God that he answered my prayer and I did not lose the frined even through this period of time. Woohoo, prayer does move things in our lives. (:

God's plans are to prosper us, never to fail us. :]

YO! Prelims are officially over, so now it is time to mug up for O levels. I think I did really badly for prelims, which is probably true.

Anyway, I can't be bothered about what has passed. So today I went out for nearly the entire day. Woke up at 9 am and made my way to Lucas' house. Then we played ping pong and rockband. Yea... So after that we went to have our lunch were Lucas treated us to quite a spread, ordering Thai style curry fish head which is over $20. Yea...



Here's the man and the fish, haha.



Let's EAT!

Lol, I was taking these pic for fun so sorry if it offends Lucas or anything cuz it intrudes on his dining privacy. So after that we went back to the house and I was playing rockband alone on the drums. So lonely cuz everyone was playing DoTA or CS or something else. Haha, then I am that noob playing PS3...oh well. Then Shaun and I left Lucas' house at 1.40pm to make our way to Plaza Singapura.

When we got to Plaza Singapura, it was a wait in Starbucks. Then Willy arrived and we started to discuss some stuff. Followed by the arrival of Weasley. So after talking and all, Shaun, Aaron Weasley and I headed to YMCA cuz Pastor CK was having a talk there. The session was rather refreshing for me. Haha, then we hung round a bit and I headed off to Harbourfront. Had dinner...came home. That wraps up my day outdoors.

My brother's homework went missing and OHHHHHHHHH its MY FAULT! WOW. My 6-year-old brother's homework is gone and I get blamed for it? Huh? Can someone tell me what sense is there in that? Oh and my parents say I think my friends are more important than my family. OH WOW AGAIN. If that was true, I would have more friends now wouldn't I. I wouldn't be that only loser in JG who can't seem to have anything in common with my classmates, even those who were like the main 4. I think my friends are more important when I have to be with my mum taking care of my bro after JG classes when everyone else just goes out with their friends. Great, you know I am so irresponsible to my family that I AM NOT FRIGGIN' BOTHERED TO HANG OUT AT HOME ALL DAY TO HELP THEM OUT. FINE.

*Extra special Thanks!

To them: Thank you ALL for making my academic life such a good experience. I may not be a student who is memorable but I just want you all to know that you are all people who will be remembered by me as of now till forever. Especially after your name is etched to this blog, you all have played a big part in my life and moulding my character all along. I thank you all for the hardwork and effort that you have put in to nurture the future generation. Indeed teaching is a noble career to partake in and I hope that no matter where you go in life in the future that you will be honour as great people who did great things. THANK YOU ALL!!!!(:

p.s. Anyone not mentioned is either forgotten or not very significant to my memory. Apologies.

That's might have been how my week went. I'm really getting a bit lazy to post. MUST REMIND MYSELF TO POST MORE!!!! Yea.

So here is how my exams are going. A math, got depressed. Chem and Physics paper 1, CAN DO!!!! Chem, duh...1 stupid error. But still can get my A1 I think. Physics...uhh....I dunno la, feel better and feel depressed also. Mixed up.

Haha, last Thursday I did something so crazy...I ain't gonna talk about it. But it is mad alright. Yep, then everything became so surreal until I began to feel blur and zone out at times. You know I have a bad habit of pondering upon how the time-space continuum came to be formed and how time will always keep repeating itself for the rest of eternality after a certain event happens. Like, after you breathe in at lets say 12:03:1. Then for the rest of eternality, that timing will be repeated at you breathing in. A bit confusing but that's how it works I think.

I noticed that most new bloggers do this...a lot...especially on their first...post...I think...it is...sort of...a habit?...That new bloggers have sometimes...looks very dotty...

I aim to join a marathon next year. Haha, mad me but oh well I do need to train up for NS cuz it is an obligation and JC ain't gonna make it easier. So I guess I'll need to start training up ASAP. *Sigh* I can't believe I am going to do something this nuts. I think the stress is getting to me.

Haven't been able to go for services this past two weeks. I hope that there will be a breakthrough soon though. Time to pick up a heart of servanthood. (: <--The smiley face has been rare the past few days. But it still does come around. Rant rant rant...blah blah blah. Haha, Pastor CK cme down to my school today and I had to lead a tour of the school. LOL, still remember the cool shooting gallery at the basement. Haven't been inside before though...*sigh* I always wanted to. I think it is probably the coolest place in the entire school. Guys and guns, how cliche. Well, all that's left now is E math, A math. Not taking Chinese no more. I think it is a good move on my part.

Doesn't matter what people think about us. It is simply how sure we are of ourselves. Be a star and take the highway to the high life.

Standing along the corridor,
people pushing pass me to the door.
I am surrounded by murmurs,
nothing involved me, just whispers.

I sit alone in class,
a step away or two.
And as time creeps pass,
I soak myself in blues.

A decision I once made,
a choice I was made to take.
Additional work I laid,
all within my head.

As lessons dragged on,
and classes stack up.
Everyone was gone,
I still at the start.

I look within my heart,
find my passion to work.
There, I found no smarts
leaning on hardwork.

No idea where this poem in my mind came from. But I guess it just got blurted out. Haven't posted in quite a while. The papers are going to the dumps...I expected so. Funny how we can solve problems for others yet are unable to help ourselves. Ironic and unfortunately true in my case. Sigh...

ciaoz.

Hey people. I've been real busy lately with the prelims and all. Last time I posted was really....quite a while ago.

Quite a number of things have happened in between. SS paper was okay...History was a bit better I guess...yea. But that's not what I really care about. Chinese O level results came out. And I got a C5 really thinking about what I should do. 8 more subjects to worry about. Sigh, kept getting questions about whether I am doing it again or not. I really don't quite know.

Really in quite a mess here. Exhausted with quite a lot of stuff on my neck. But thank God for my friends and cellgroup for supporting me all the way. Haha, I'd probably have lost my mind by now if it wasn't for them.

I don't feel like posting much info this time...so I'll just leave something that I'll conjure up impromtu.

On an open field,
looking upon the brilliant stars.
I wonder what tomorrow holds,
as I drifted into a welcomed rest.

A choice between a duo of friends,
one that never should be.
A choice of forever and a choice of end,
pain that's left for one to see.

A choice between a twin event,
a dilemma some would say.
A choice may be of who went,
choose, but only one can stay.

A choice within this weary mind,
one I hope, is not blind.
A choice made with teary eyes,
a single step on a fine line.

By me! Yay, I haven't written a poem for quite a while. I used to enjoy doing this for a past time, but I guess somewhere along the stress, I lost it for a while. Poetry is a wonderful art, and I like it lyrical cuz it just brings out a strong essence of it. Well, it is getting late and I've got a lot of things to accomplish in a rather short span of time. So, toodles.

Oh yea, I just want to give a shout out to the Julia Gabriel guys and gals. GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR GRADING EXAM!!! GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT AND GO BREAK A LEG!!! BE CONFIDENT IN YOURSELF!!! TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL: THE CLASS KNOWS YOU CAN DO IT. WOO HOO!!!

I know I may not be in the class anymore guys, but just want you guys to know that I believe that all of you can pull it off with outstanding achievements. (:

Hey Guys, it's been quite a week. Prelims have started, things are going into full swing...etc etc...

It's been rough, with all the things going on I still have art to do and physics to finish up. I pray that time will just slow down for a moment.

The Prelims have begun and English and CME were the first two papers. Relatively easy. I suppose I'll need to mug up for my prelims if I want to use DSA. But good news is my audition is on Tuesday next week. 3.30pm. Pray it'll go smoothly.

National day is tomorrow, I don't feel very patriotic but I guess there is a sense of enthusiam in the air. Haha, maybe it might be nicer this year...the performances always seem so stagnant. But today there was a really funny air show. A lone copter with that mini Singapore flag. It looked weird. Then no one sang the national songs and did the rather gay happy dance. Gay = Happy. WOW.

Went to go watch money not enough 2. It is a nice movie. Sad story but interesting underlying meanings. Worth the price. (: I still haven't caught dark knight....T.T

Happy B'day to Nick Yue. Lol, his b'day is on the start of prelim exams...how great.

Got nothing much to say... This is going to be a long and tiring weekend. Haha, ciaoz.

Woo Hoo! The energy is still running high but it is super warm. Anyway....HEY PEOPLE, haven't been on my blog for quite a long while, I always wanted to blog but something always comes up. But I managed to find some time now. Was going to post some pics this time round, but I changed my mind since most of them are not really useful.

This week has been okay. I notice it has only been 7 days since I blogged, but it really feels like a year or so. Well, that means 1 week is actually a lot of time to do stuff. But the weather is really just killing off everyone.

The school week wasn't that bad. Nothing really interesting happened during curriculum time apart from a few jokes pulled off by my class as usual. There was an incident with snipers and machine guns during a lit class when the teacher wasn't there. Half the lass "died" in unison. Please refer to Andrew[AO]'s blog for more details. It was funny but rather idiotic. And the week ended with a job forum. But I still don't quite know what's installed for me if I do drama. Sigh, I guess life ain't always fair. Got a DC somewhere along in the week, I think I need to postpone it because of the fact that I have to submit my DSA and that I have art class on Monday and Tuesday respectively. Prelims are in 4 day's time. Coming really soon but mine has alrdy started.

Well, I don't hold much of an opinion against my school. But I think for this DC that I got, probably won't get served and that might spell trouble for me. Just because I had to rush for art class and didn't go see my physics teacher who is BLANTANTLY unreasonable. Might end up with in house suspension I guess. But all I need to do is have time to study. I'm cool with it.

{EDITED}
Festival of Praise this year was BRILLIANT! Though it is sort of like my first year, but it was quite cool. Saw so many people there. Had Parachute band come down, along with Rueben Morgan and the Hillsong team. Haha, great fun, great energy and the awesome presence of God. And the sermon was really funny too. But before all that, I went to play pool with Darice and her friend, Julia and her friend, In Soo and Ivan. The place was really packed and it was quite fun playing pool in such a long while. And just for mentioning it, Jenzi and Eunice, the two "queens" arrived late when we were having dinner. So we left them there...and somehow they couldn't see the indoor stadium. How cool is that? And both were wearing boots. Lol, try to be tall.

My aim is to start rekindling friendships that may have gone cold and start friendships that could be. (: Gotta learn to be a people's person and connect with society.

I probably should scoot to bed now. Ciaoz!

Be responsible TO Others and be responsible FOR Yourself!!
