Bah. Bah. Bleh. Shit...
another tiring day at school, but nothing too bad happening until last period, civics... according to civics tutor posting results will only be released one month after we submit our application, and we have to report back to our current provisional one until then. and unlike how we were promised earlier we ain't getting any day off after results release. 2 periods of civics on the next day and back to the mindless slogging...
since we have to stay there for so much longer than expected, there goes all plans to pon all tutorials until the last week at tj... i think i might have put too much hope and expectations on the results release. deluded myself too much that all this stress piling up can lessen a li'l when results come out... looks like tt's not the case. during civics i was in a totally horrible mood. i wonder how many expletives i would have come up with if i voiced out what i was thinking... and even though civics tutor cracked a few jokes can't seem to lighten up...
thankfully it's a li'l better now. last time when i felt down i would sit in bed, thinking bout the sad incident again and again, getting into the state where tears are about to flow out but just can't seem to do so, tire myself out like that, fall asleep and everything will be so much better after waking up. this time was feeling a li'l better, thought sleeping will help clear everything but ended up feeling a li'l more irritated than before after that. thankfully have a few funny animes just downloaded and it managed to lighten things quite a fair bit.
there goes the rather decent week it'd been. at least not as horrible as last week, but hopefully things will get better. results will probably be out on monday given there's no announcement up til now... but then again results release don't seem so holy a day anymore after realising that there's more to come.
civics tutor suggested to those feeling stressed out to take 3 subjects after 2nd intake cos most pple end up dropping a subject after promos if they're not going for scholarship. seriously considering it now... i don't think i can take 2 years of this kind of timetable... to think i actually wanted to take a maths s paper just out of interest sake. if only things can work out all fine... and really regretting dropping higher chinese now. so i've been failing more than half of my higher chinese tests but i think might have been able to scrape through o levels what... sure, have to put up with zhang for 2 more years but it's a lot of time a week for chinese. and whatever is worse, chinese teacher now knows zhang and sometimes remind me of her (thankfully she like only a mild version of zhang, or at least for now)... ponned her lessons the past two days thinking i would never attend her lessons again but looks like have to go back now with the plan... and she wanted a parents letter when she saw me today... bleh...
oh, i was on taking 3 subjects... i'm really at a loss. on one hand i really like maths and wanna take fmaths, but it happens to come with physics, and chem is needed for quite a lot of uni courses... so if i'm gonna take 3, probably gonna be fmaths i'd be dropping... on one hand i'm telling myself if i can concentrate on 3 and score well then it's alright but on the other hand i have the interest and think of those triple science students who's even worse off then me. surely if they can handle, i shouldn't fair too badly right...
i can't really pinpoint why jc life just seems such a big step from secondary school... actually as bad as the time table seems it's only one or two super late days while the other days are like secondary school. but somehow every day always drag on. sec school have it's fair share of lessons i really dread what (i remember those days pointing at the timetable on the board and going sigh, bio...) but somehow there are days which can just pass by like that... and there are days where basketball can stretch to 8 but it doesn't feel half as long as when the days end at 5.15 or it club stretches to 7... maybe it's the travelling, but i'm already so tired 3 lessons into the day... less travelling help can't help that much what...
there are days i try to convince myself that it's not so bad and i'd make it through but gimme one tutorial or two and i'm dead beat yet again... hmm, maybe i will take to dad one of these days and talk bout skipping some tutorials in the coming days... don't think he'd be too happy with the idea, but... or maybe i can try talk to some of the teachers and state my stand and see what they say... hmm...
bleh, i still have so much to rant bout but don't really feel like continuing anymore. at least i've gotten some things off my chest and not feeling so bad anymore. note to myself to rant bout the 2 voices and adapting to secondary school next time i am in this mood again (probably tml)

New week, new outlook
Start of this week looks very promising... good, means i've managed to completely shake off the blues of last week...
on monday was kinda dreading the long day, but thankfully it passed pretty alright. having last lesson with mr ngoh always help cos he makes the lesson seem so fast. but the tutorials made me realise how much i've been lagging behind... thanks to that cny period of ponning, i'm still very uncertain on the transformation stuff, and trying to learn new stuff, do tutorials and copy down answers all at the same time is not easy at all. ended the day feeling all stressed up (but in a 'good' way where i'd just be ranting bout how stress i am but not feeling too down)
later went for banner painting for cg. was thinking bout skipping but in the end decided against it. turned out i was one of the only 6 pple or so (and one of the 2 guys who went)... but don't really regret going. interesting to note that the two of us who went happened to be the ones who have missed all the cg outings up til now... makes you wonder, don't u...
ok, so as usual, guys can't help much with painting lest someone wants to have the banner ruined... so yichao and me just went out to buy stuff for them and sat at one side, talking... was a really nice conversation.. somehow we seem to share pretty similar experiences and things in common, so it was really nice sharing lots of stuff bout urself and hearing more bout others. been quite a long time since i've had such a sincere, engaging talk...
in the end we did help out a li'l in the painting but i almost screwed things up by painting a part i'm not supposed to... oh well... thankfully all turned out fine. so even though i left quite late and ended up not doing the catching up on work as planned it was worthwhile.
on to today... was dead beat on way to school (goes to show early nights doesn't mean more rest). almost late... reached school when everyone had already started assembling. but sun was nice in the morning... beautiful orange hues in the 'horizon' (ok, so technically not it with so many buidings blocking... but was very far to one side) and the sun was a pretty dark orange/red circle... too bad don't have sunglasses and cannot stare at the scene... nice...
ok, so had 3 lessons but seemed like eternity. then with my 'revised timetable' i'm done with the day ^^. managed to convince lymon, aaron and lik to pon too so we went to princess to watch hide and seek. gonna miss princess to a certain extent when i leave tj... $5 tickets, empty cinemas to urself... the best place to go after ponning lessons (today makes it the third movie i'm catching there after ponning lessons)... almost makes me wonder how they can sustain the business... i'd be really, really shocked one day if i catch a movie and can't 'qiao jiao' on the seat in front.
hide and seek... interesting movie... quite nice. but lots of confusing parts which don't really quite understand. so in the end the four of us went mac, got ice cream and sat down discussing bout the movie. managed to figure a lot of things debating on them and settling on the most logical argument. wonder if the scriptwriter actually had all the 'theories' we have for the story planned or maybe they were just fillers and we're making too much out of it. but still many parts we don't quite get after discussing... the ending especially makes u go 'huh?'... think i wanna watch it again if i have the chance to fill in the answers.
thankfully not much horror involved in it. never really liked horror shows, esp those with those gory scenes with blood complete with bugs, etc... just plain gross... not really scary but overall feeling was good lah. nothing much to bash it anyway.
after that, lymon and lik went back for cca and aaron for lessons (-_-"). i proceeded to amk central, thinking of doing the long due catch up in the library. but as usual before i start work i'd need to do some wandering around, so went around the usual spots... popular... sembawang book store/sports link... then the food... curry puff, waffle, goreng pisang. new rotiboy stall there, nice ^^ though it's a li'l too salty and light on the coffee imo, but still tasty nonetheless.
was preparing to head to lib already then met zhi hao. didn't realise i haven't really talked to him much since streaming in sec 2. somehow he missed even more bball practice than me haha. so did some catching up, talking bout jc life, life in general, etc. really glad i can have two good conversations in 2 days... but after that was totally in no mood to do work somehow and decided to head home in the end.
still remember start of year i actually did my tutorials before the lessons itself and filed everything up nicely under its respective divider... now ack to my old self, fishing for single pieces of paper from that big stack... gotta do sth bout this soon. ok, i must go to the lib tml to at least try catch up a li'l!
hmm, i'm in a ranting mood today haha. think i can go on and on bout my life and everything under the sun. still have more to say but well, they aren't really important (not like this entry is...) so think i'd stop here before the pc starts playing tricks on me again and make me lose everything.

Coaster-ride
this week has been scary... really scary... so many things going through my mind. the angel and devil battling almost non-stop inside, and though i've been wanting to side with the angel, it doesn't seem strong enough. so up and down it's been the whole week since tuesday... at least the week's coming to an end. i can't take many more days like this or i'd go mad so very easily.
but guess i shall look at it from the bright side this time... every moment i struggle means a step closer to strengthening my mettle to overcome the problems. i'd be a stronger person coming out of this!
and this week also told me that it's fair time i start looking for some hobby to do during free time so as to prevent myself from thinking too much. a long time ago when i was still a very small kid it was the television like most people, but slowly it became not stimulating enough (u're just staring at moving pictures i thought sometime back) and my mind could wander even while watching tv so i switched to video gaming.
sadly the o levels took that away, what with the mindless mugging leaving li'l time for anything else... after that it was lots of hanging out with friends so there was li'l hurry to find something to do with spare time. but now, with school back yet again, i'm left with nothing much to do. not that i wanna get myself caught up with all the work piling up... preparation for o levels is enough work for some time. for now i'm fine just finishing up stuff only when they're really pressing... but i digress...
nowadays gaming can't seem to really captivate me. maybe it's too long since i've did so seriously, or maybe i've been doing it so long i can now navigate through a game while daydreaming too... trying to get back into watching tv nowadays but with scv gone there's a limit to the no. of interesting programs... oh well, time to slowly try out new things this coming week...
next week gonna start ponning certain tutorials... last rest before the work really piles up after second intake that even if i skive much it'd be one hell of a hectic journey. i'm thinking of taking 3 o levels, but then i wanna take f maths, which comes with physics, but chem's needed for many uni courses... bah...
some things i'd miss after leaving tj. will miss quite a few teachers. mr ngoh have been a great fm tutor and lecturer, gonna miss his lesssons, and mr ng and mrs lim (who always remind me of miss tan somehow) are pretty good. mrs foo, chem tutor is quite good too... at least physics teachers will be changing. totally lost interest in it after the horrible lectures and even worse tutor... oh well, enough ranting bout this for now.
my hopes and wishes don't seem to come true often (;P), but hoping the coaster ride will end. new week ahead, things to look forward too, results coming out, tutorials to pon... let's go...

The days crawl by...
Everything seems to be passing by so slowly nowadays... maybe it's cos i'm starting to count down the days... the days to results release, the days til the first term will end. week 7, day 4 sound like it's ending real soon but then there's still 3 weeks and a day more... i really shouldn't be doing this...
some are saying that they're kinda scared of receiving results but someow i'm not really feeling that... actually more of anticipation... maybe it's cos i got my options settled... i'd get into aj if i can, ny next and poly for optometry if not. think i'd be satisfied going to either three so as long as i don't get 20+ and can't enter into the optometry course i wouldn't be too disappointed with any results. i've already tried my best, so can't do anything from here.
after reading up a li'l on optometry i seem to have quite an interest in it. seems like something i wouldn't mind doing as a job at all. kinda sad when i found out that local unis don't offer that... so time to go exploring career options yet again.
life's slowed to a trot now. the last two days and todays have passed just so agonisingly slowly. hopefully things can pick up soon...

Recap
Quite a lot of stuff happened recently, things that i wanna remember, so here i go...
*+-+-+-+*
|CNY EVE|
*-+-+-+-*
so we went back to zhss after first lesson which was civics. ponned an fmaths lecture cos didn't want to make others wait...
didn't do anything in particular there. at first stood outside hall but did nothing. later went down canteen accompanying terence who wanted to eat. later class took a picture with huang lao shi (how i miss his chinese lessons now...). also went to get the testtubes we paid for. i still haven't broke them surprisingly haha.
next big group from class stood outside staff room around ms chan but not much talk going around. in the end most of us just standing around talking with our own group...
later got chased out of sch cos gates closing. no plan on what to do. no suggestions, so slowly group by group broke off to go places on their own
in the end bout 10+ of us left went mac. ate after much standing around (i think almost 30min of idling)... quite a number of pple got frustrated/irritated (i think i was one of the 3 or 4 not to feel like tt) kinda sad thinking bout it. finally we get to get together and this happens...
but then i got quite irked when a particular person started lamenting bout the lack of class spirit and compared it with his jc class. maybe it's cos i take quite a long time to warm up to other people so time is often the key to friendships for me, but i can't understand someone valuing something tt's just a month old or so against bond of two years. granted he was disappointed with the day, but... well, at least the episode's over now and i'm still hopeful for future class outings and such... may whatever class spirit we might have still be present and we can remain in contact.
*+-+*
|CNY|
*-+-*
went back malaysia as usual. used to detest these trips as a young kid but now starting to enjoy it more. sad thing's how there's the age gap between my cousins and me so i never can really talk much with them, but i digress.
i really should have brought camera there. was thinking bout whether to do so before the trip but decided against it at the last minute. big mistake. so many pictures i wanna take.
only a night there, so not much happened, but it was a very relaxing experience. at night went out for dinner and we took my uncle's jeep to the restaurant. always liked jeep/pick-up rides feeling the wind... but this time it was even more special. i looked up, and my, was it a starry night... never really gazed at stars before and was it magical the feeling. couple tt with the fireworks around (though fireworks are banned there, there's this rich family who would just willingly pay the fine every year during cny)...
back at grandma's house, there's this place outside... sort of a porch, and i'd sit on the wall against a pillar (argh, so hard trying to describe it... the camera would have come in so useful here) and again just look at the stars. if i was more poetic, i would have written a poem, more artistic draw sth and more musical would have written a song. too bad i'm not any of them.
and also figured out the reason for my slight deafness, it's not so much of the cymbals while i played the drums in co, it's more of those firecrackers or whatever you call them (those things u'd light up, throw and it'd explode in some nice colors...) didn't play it this time round, but looking at the younger kids playing it brought back some fond memories...
surprisingly i wasn't too into gambling this time round. last time it'd be tong xiao mahjong when i went back but not this time. just played some simpler games with the younger cousins with small stakes this time round.
while i didn't bring my camera, my was i glad i brought my phone. was thinking of leaving it at home but dad wanted me to bring it cos his hicard's running out of money and wanted a backup. whole day just brightened up so much after receiving an sms while gazing at the stars that night. thank you ^^
*+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-*
|Friday - Ponning|
*-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+*
ponned quite a fair share of lessons already but friday was something even more. so we went back sch after the holidays, and my first period was swimming. after that, when i was back in the canteen ash came over and suggested ponning. cos i had plans to skip tuesday (which happenes to be the longest day, compared to friday, the shortest day), i was kinda against it, but well, they convinced me in the end
so the five zhss guys there, ash, lymon, aaron, lik and me ponned sch after that first lesson (me and lymon still feel so -_-" for going sch to attend just swimming). even though we ponned, didn't have a plan in mind. ash wanted to play pool, aaron and lik lan and me and lymon bowling.
so we debated on what to do, and it got a li'l frustrating in the end. thankfully managed to prevent things from spilling over. in the end we just decided to catch the movie tt's showing then, which happened to be seoul raiders even though none of us knew anything bout it. thankfullly it was quite a good movie. and the cinema was so empty, could put leg on the seats in front
after that aaron went home and the rest of us went city hall and suntec shopping. saw lots of funny cards and also the pooky ty bear which was just so cute! too bad didn't have enough money for it. well, ash wanted it anyway too and it was the last one. in the end he decided to see if it'd be there the next day to decide whether to get it but while we walked out of the shop a lady got it. so sad...
in the middle of shopping we got anderson's ice cream craze and went to get it. while sitting down, we played quite a silly game, guessing a movie title by asking 'yes/no' qns. sounds dumb but quite fun in the end haha. but showed how little movies i watch.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: If i can change the alphabet, i'd put u and i together ^^
(from one of the cards... sweet...)

in the end bout 10+ of us left went mac. ate after much standing around (i think almost 30min of idling)... quite a number of pple got frustrated/irritated (i think i was one of the 3 or 4 not to feel like tt) kinda sad thinking bout it. finally we get to get together and this happens...
but then i got quite irked when a particular person started lamenting bout the lack of class spirit and compared it with his jc class. maybe it's cos i take quite a long time to warm up to other people so time is often the key to friendships for me, but i can't understand someone valuing something tt's just a month old or so against bond of two years. granted he was disappointed with the day, but... well, at least the episode's over now and i'm still hopeful for future class outings and such... may whatever class spirit we might have still be present and we can remain in contact.

|CNY|
*-+-*
went back malaysia as usual. used to detest these trips as a young kid but now starting to enjoy it more. sad thing's how there's the age gap between my cousins and me so i never can really talk much with them, but i digress.
i really should have brought camera there. was thinking bout whether to do so before the trip but decided against it at the last minute. big mistake. so many pictures i wanna take.
only a night there, so not much happened, but it was a very relaxing experience. at night went out for dinner and we took my uncle's jeep to the restaurant. always liked jeep/pick-up rides feeling the wind... but this time it was even more special. i looked up, and my, was it a starry night... never really gazed at stars before and was it magical the feeling. couple tt with the fireworks around (though fireworks are banned there, there's this rich family who would just willingly pay the fine every year during cny)...
back at grandma's house, there's this place outside... sort of a porch, and i'd sit on the wall against a pillar (argh, so hard trying to describe it... the camera would have come in so useful here) and again just look at the stars. if i was more poetic, i would have written a poem, more artistic draw sth and more musical would have written a song. too bad i'm not any of them.
and also figured out the reason for my slight deafness, it's not so much of the cymbals while i played the drums in co, it's more of those firecrackers or whatever you call them (those things u'd light up, throw and it'd explode in some nice colors...) didn't play it this time round, but looking at the younger kids playing it brought back some fond memories...
surprisingly i wasn't too into gambling this time round. last time it'd be tong xiao mahjong when i went back but not this time. just played some simpler games with the younger cousins with small stakes this time round.
while i didn't bring my camera, my was i glad i brought my phone. was thinking of leaving it at home but dad wanted me to bring it cos his hicard's running out of money and wanted a backup. whole day just brightened up so much after receiving an sms while gazing at the stars that night. thank you ^^

|Friday - Ponning|
*-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+*
ponned quite a fair share of lessons already but friday was something even more. so we went back sch after the holidays, and my first period was swimming. after that, when i was back in the canteen ash came over and suggested ponning. cos i had plans to skip tuesday (which happenes to be the longest day, compared to friday, the shortest day), i was kinda against it, but well, they convinced me in the end
so the five zhss guys there, ash, lymon, aaron, lik and me ponned sch after that first lesson (me and lymon still feel so -_-" for going sch to attend just swimming). even though we ponned, didn't have a plan in mind. ash wanted to play pool, aaron and lik lan and me and lymon bowling.
so we debated on what to do, and it got a li'l frustrating in the end. thankfully managed to prevent things from spilling over. in the end we just decided to catch the movie tt's showing then, which happened to be seoul raiders even though none of us knew anything bout it. thankfullly it was quite a good movie. and the cinema was so empty, could put leg on the seats in front
after that aaron went home and the rest of us went city hall and suntec shopping. saw lots of funny cards and also the pooky ty bear which was just so cute! too bad didn't have enough money for it. well, ash wanted it anyway too and it was the last one. in the end he decided to see if it'd be there the next day to decide whether to get it but while we walked out of the shop a lady got it. so sad...
in the middle of shopping we got anderson's ice cream craze and went to get it. while sitting down, we played quite a silly game, guessing a movie title by asking 'yes/no' qns. sounds dumb but quite fun in the end haha. but showed how little movies i watch.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: If i can change the alphabet, i'd put u and i together ^^
(from one of the cards... sweet...)

You're welcome
(Don't ask me bout the title, k? =P)
well, after some convincing from 'someone' (;D) i decided to come back after all... so for now this is the entry i was typing the other day, sans a lot of stuff i typed. i'd just let the photos tell the story then...
'Affectionately called the guitar string sculpture by the few zhss guys in tj...' (don't feel like typing the backstory bout it anymore... sorry...)
'Fmaths teacher Mr. Ngoh. His lessons always pass in a breeze. Doing a chinese project on him, hence the pics, so why waste them when they can be used as filler here...'
'The view from my window. Quite cool imo haha'
'My keychain collection.. stopped collecting now though'
'My prized possessions.. favoured half of my collection (the others are in the cupboard) beside my bed. even used to sleep with them just a few years back haha'
'My room'
'My best friend, before he turned against me recently... now known as the rebels...'
'The garfield mousepad i bought that day. No. 23 of my collection (yes, i have one of the weirdest hobbies the last time, collecting mousepads)'
i guess this seems pretty abrupt but then again the intro's gone after that time and i totally don't feel like typing them anymore... hopefully i'd be back blogging more frequently after this...

Last entry for some time?
I'm feeling really crappy bout blogging now... just one of those days i feel like blogging and these things happen. when i reached home modem was acting up on me like yesterday... tried to fix it for an hour, almost gave up feeling all frustrated then finally managed to solve it. so i came online, came here and proceeded with my entry. almost finishing and lo and behold my graphic card crashed on me as usual along with everything.
so i probably won't be updating for quite some time now. i think i just need time before i can gain back some trust in blogging from now... not tt there's any fault in blogging but i no longer feel right with it at the present moment. oh well, time heals all wounds so hopefully i'd be back sometime, but i can't say bout the near future. so goodbye dear blog til then...
