CNY afterburn Update
Hey peeps, long time no update. Been real busy with CNY and stuff. You know clean up and the big spring cleaning in addition to ang baos, food, visitation and gambling. Didn't really gamble this year but I won $7. Going to use that to treat myself to a new set of guitar strings. EXP and Elixirs sounds nice. (:
ANYWAY, CNY was not exactly fun this year. I enjoyed myself but it was much more fun last year since my cousins and aunt from my mother's side was in Singapore. But I still manage to rake in $700 from Ang Baos. (: So happy. And I get to actually keep the ones that both my parents gave. Quite big ones too. Well, there were gatherings but the energy level was like...sluggish compared to last year. Everyone wanted to sleep cuz they were tired. 3 days just went like that.
Back at work...things as usual. I suppose...getting a bit busier in the morning but afternoons are quiet so I don't work afternoons.
Sigh, posting is tomorrow. I don't know if i end up in JC or Poly due to my poorly planned choice of courses. $17 just to choose a school. WTH, that's not even registration fee for the school. Really hoping I'll get into DADP. I want to GET INTO DADP. If not I'll appeal for it. 40 students the chances are so dangerously slim...T.T Going to work my butt off and get into a university after that. But I still got NS to serve...HOW BLEEDY DIFFICULT IS IT TO GET A DEGREE IN SINGAPORE!? Ans: VERY. School starts next week for all the JC people...and I have so much time to hang out alone. Sigh...I want to pick up new hobbies again. But it is costly to do so. Hence I shall just practise drawing and guitar. Improve on both. (: Deviantart account needs a revival too. I miss ACSBR and 4A2...sigh...Can't believe I miss the hectic class periods and all the messing around we all did.
I'm gonna post more, need to get over the sleepy spells and laziness. (:

Oh Crap...
Hey guys, been sort of busy. Now I got 3 keys things to do this week. Commercial for Julia, Sermon for preaching test after CNY and a chereography item for performance arts after CNY too. Haha, happy me. Just got news that putting DADP as 4th choice was a bad move. So...I guess I won't be going anywhere I want... T.T. I'll go now. Praying I will get into DADP. (:

SP... now isn't that obvious? Now I'm just waiting and hoping to be posted into either ACJC, CJC or Applied Drama and Psychology. If I go into JJC I'll just die. The chinese speaking population there will own me. Sigh...there is no drama in that JC too. I wanna catch up with ppl whom I've not met for a long time and I miss some friends who have gone overseas. (: Take care.
Gonna work tomorrow so I have to turn in now, nights.

O level Results.The Next Step.
Hey all, the O level results came out yesterday. Here are my results.
L1R5 - 15
L1R4 -12
English -A2
Literature in English -A2
Combine Humanities(SSH) -C5
Mathematics -B3
Additional Mathematics -B3
Physics -B3
Chemistry -B3
Art -B3
Chinese -C5
Chinese(Aural/Oral) -Merit
That's the report for me. I thought it was okay at first. But then when I really considered it, I knew that I was in a very bad state. I mean 15 points won't really get you into a good/decent JC. At most a semi-decent one. So now I'm in a deadlock. Oh yea, my dad scolded me for getting 15 too...sigh. Oh well...
So now it is dilemma time. My most eligible choice of JC right now is Jurong JC (ACJC, SAJC, NJC all out of reach) and I am having to consider DADP (Diploma in Applied Drama and Psychology), DTVM (Diploma in Creative writing for TV and Media), DMC (Diploma in Media and Communications) or Diploma in Mass Comm. Sigh...I am so flippant of JC and Poly. And my mum is asking me to take courses like Optometry and stuff in poly too. -.-''' Got till Friday to decide so I will have to do a lot of homework.
Anyway I have some random pics here, My brother at Orchard Rd.


here is a pic from after O levels where we were going to Swensens to sort of celebrate...

P. Arts class today...We did more drama stuff. Relaxation techniques and all. Haha, improvisation was a mess cuz it felt a bit unnatural again...-.- Need to adapt. And we had a short clip from Into the Woods to work on. Lol, now everyone is addicted to the song. And it was HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY KIM, whose birthday was yesterday. Here is the pics...wanted to take more but I was too lazy.

The class excluding me. Oh, Tara too.
ladaladala~~~ Got to go sleep now...Working tomorrow. -.- 7am. ciaoz

Speeding bullet, flying time.
HEY! How time flies huh...O level results are going to be out next Monday. It seemed like yesterday that I was complaining about English paper 2 being in the evening and ending at night. I didn't even get to eat a proper dinner. Like what the heck. But anyway, I am looking forward to a good day on Monday and good results. And if I don't get what I expect, well...I'll just work with what I have to excel. ACJC is optimal and HERE I GO!!!
Been working these few days and I just realised why I didn't have a job for the past 2 weeks. My colleague's salary was $300...mine was $600 thanks to the 11 days work marathon. Haha so they stopped me for 2 weeks. How is that justifiable? I mean how y no. of hours you work = 6y. amt of pay. So I worked more and earned more...does that give the company a right to put me on the shelf during the festive season? Why don't I get a chance to earn money and festive rates too? -.- Unfair.
I want to improve on guitar but have no money. Who is so ever kind enough to give me guitar lessons for free, I will promise to be the most attentive student. Haha, NXGen is coming up...4 months of courses. I will make time for everything. Haha, if one cannot have time to clear his workload for other things, how will one ever have time for family? So it is 2 hours of study a day for me and i will do my best to stay commited to it.(:
signin' off. catch ya'll later.

Performing Arts Week 1.
Hey guys, haven't updated in a while but nothing exciting is going on really, it is just work, guitar, play, work...cycle goes on.
Anyway, Performing Arts started today. I'm suppose to be doing a journal on the year's progress. So I figured, why not just do it here then copy it in later seeing as to the fact that it is easier to think while typing. So today was sort of like orientation day for Performing arts. Haha, mindmaps on what Performing arts is. I missed out so many things and it is actually quite good to know that I can cover so much ground on theatre. Mime, puppet, street, musical, etc... Well, today it was mostly a touch and go one movement, music and drama. its quite fun given the fact that most of it was new and it is a change to the normal speech and drama lessons, where like everything is near predictable. Haha, time for change and new things are to come. (: There was a bit of music interpretation too. So weird...
I just finished my informal journalling of the lesson. Anyway O level results are going to be out soon and I am not confident at all... Don't think I prepared well for it. Oh well, what ever wll be will be with the results. I'll just take it and do my best. Sigh, feeling left out. Somehow mysteriously, I feel that a lot of things that teens are suppose to "make time" for, is absorbing ALL my time. Like family, part time jobs...etc. I really think I need to just take control of my life and say no. too much of a pacifist. Even fetching my brother is time consuming. I went to school to fetch him, and waited at the auditorium. He wasn't with his class. And they said that he went down to the transport center. He wasn't there...finally after running from Transport center to Auditorium twice, the PSG parents found him and brought him to the auditorium. Headache...-.-
I guess that's all for today folks. cya. (:

A few tips I got out of a nifty book.
Winners and Losers
Losers look at themselves and say,"What a sorry state I am in."
Winners appreciate all the good things that are going on in their lives.
Losers find someone to blame when something goes wrong.
Winners ask,"How can this be prevented in the future and what lesson can I learn from this?"
Winners take chances and learn from their mistakes.
Losers do nothing so that they won't make any mistakes.
When someone says, "You look great today
Losers say,"You mean I don't look good on other days?"
Winners say,"Thank you for your kind words."
Losers wait for things to happen.
Winners make things happen.
Losers sit at the beach and watch the world move.
Winners go out and move the world.
Losers will say,"It is impossible."
Winners say,"The possibility will be found by me."
Losers take failure as a disaster.
Winners take failure as a lesson.
Losers live without rules.
Winners set standards for themselves.
Losers live on Hope.
Winners make things happen (to give hope.)
Losers ponder the inabilities they find in themselves.
Winners build on the qualities they have.
Losers say that their parents are unreasonable.
Winners try to understand their parents.
Winners appreciate when being corrected,
while losers go on a vandalizing spree.
Winners work for their money.
Losers rob a store.
Winners seek help when in need.
Loser turn to drugs.
Losers always think that the grass is greener on the other side.
Winners own the grass on both sides.
Losers choose to live their life carelessly but can't understand why they end up in a hospital.
Winners end up in a hospital wearing a white coat taking care of these losers.

The words in () are my interpretation.
LOL, anyway you would have noticed a new item I added to the top column of my sidebar. Yes I am now semi-pro blogging and advertising for nuffnang. Dunno what are the benefits but I hope to enjoy doing this too. Pls support! (:
[Edit]
Today was my brother's first day at school. Seems like he is enjoying it. I got to talk to some of the prayer grp members today too. Things look to be bleak, but I believe that faith will overcome it. Going to join them next Monday for a morning prayer session. Saw Theophilius, he was playing for Praise and Worship at chapel...not sure if he played for the primary school students too. He looked stoned. Anyway here are the pics of the first day in school for my brother.

Sleepy much?...

Blur...

End of school!!! Haha
