argh... torn between decisions... Mr. Wee approached yutong, mingxuan and me (out of the whole level) to get us to join some ST engineering or wateva research program on dengue over the holidays, to come out with a product to help fight dengue. he made it so persuasive i din dare say no, but now i dunno. do i want more slack time, or do i want more exposure? mr wee says he'll try make it tues AND thurs, which means i've got no holiday at all... wed SGB, fri band, monday AQ? ARGH!!!!! somehow, i feel like joining AQ more.... HOW?!!!! eeeks... y still so much happening to me? i tot i said i wanted a more laid-back, relaxed holiday to revitalise myself?? but how to refuse Mr. Wee, such a nice phy teacher? its a priviledge somemore... GRRR...

heh. my fone is screwing up. >.< think so. all my smses arent delivered tho they state delivered. tmd. i think that's been it all the time. NOKIA SUX! TMD So if i seemingly daoed u, please forgive me. i reply to EVERY sms i receive. unless its a crap sms, which is VERY rare.

anyway, i think my results are more or less confirmed, juz my SS, which is 69.6, so its either 70 or 69, which my SS teacher says should be 70. so my GPA average is 3.52/3.56 (depending on SS) and average raw is 72.6/72.7 (again depending) not bad la. did much better den i expected, esp after the turmultuous month i had. Hope is GOOD! =)

then after 3rd lang, which Mr Chan says he's prob gonna teach us again next year (YEAH!!!!!!!!!! WOOT!!!! WAHAHA!!!!), went jogging with geoff, longkuan and cheekeen. 2.4. during the run, i somehow got powered up. adrenaline for the unhappy reasons. hehe. anyway, did a 13+min jog. PATHETIC. MUST GET BACK IN SHAPE!!!! where's my 10min50?? tmd. den did sets. den we went to RJC to play tennis. my dad used to be a tennis coach, but he never passed down anything to me. so yea, i suck at tennis! but we had quite a lot of fun! enqing joined us too. woot! the AQ days, the relaxing times! Love it love it love it love it! it felt good to release all the toxins and jus let urself go. whee!!! hehe! felt so good!

ok, now gotta type out band stuff. gonna get a lil confusing, but still muz do. and chanter! hehe

thnx to my very close frens, who made me realise that u all care! u guys made it possible for me to tide past the rough times! thnx loads guys! ((((=

after watching Taxi 2 and laughin my arse out, i think i've gotten some seemingly stupid but sensible knowledge. It was proven when i played NFSU2. when u're going at stg too fast to slow down, and there's a danger of knocking into stg, juz chiong. chiong ahead, push harder, add the nitro-oxides, pump in the turbo, and go full speed ahead. sometimes, being too cautious will juz make u crash. and crash HEAVILY...

argh... the reason y i've been blogging entry after entry these few days is cos i need to get rid of some burden in my heart. something deep down inside, i dunno wat. lan, blogging doesnt help. wat i think i realli need is a walk. a walk with a realli close fren, to juz pour out my burdens, pour out everything, have a nice talk, and juz walk. something like wat i did during the heritage trail. walk and walk and walk. admire the scenery, laugh and make jokes, talk, juz enjoy the company of a very good fren. yes, that's wat i need. and perhaps add some speed thing into it, like er, take a open-top bus? now i know y ppl love convertibles. the strong wind juz blowing into ur face, maybe u can shout a lil. feels great. i wanna do it, yet i've got no time. or is it i dun feel like going. yea. that's it. i dun feel like going. who the hell in the correct frame of mind would wanna go for a walk? who'd wanna spare the time? who has the time? i've tried asking my dad. he hasnt taken leave during holidays for the past 2 major hols so that we can have porridge in chinatown before WALKING to funan to buy games. during these times, its not the porridge or the games i treasure most, but the walk. the walk when my dad and i would juz talk and reminisence every single memory we had. like he'd point out at one restaurant and say "hey, this is where we had ur 1yr old dinner celebration" or i'd say "hey dad, remember this place? we bought the furniture here for our new house! and i played cards with the boss' son, and...." juz so beautiful. gosh... i seem to be in azkaban. so much of happiness seems to be seeped outta me. all i'm trying to revive it with is material stuff. my mp3, my dad's new car, yada yada. doesnt work. doesnt work. worse still, BB life isnt how it used to be. no more soccer matches after parades, no more lunches together, no more fun activities outside parade. its getting too routinal. worse still, my grades are suffering. man... i dun like to go out alone...

come to think of it, i cant wait for the christmas season to start! then orchard will light up and bustle at nite! i love night life at orchard during christmas season. then amidst all of the big crowd, juz enjoying the lights, enjoying the ppl, enjoying the spirit. shop at centrepoint or taka, have supper... nope, no more of this nowadays. my family doesnt do this anymore. no fren can stay out that late to shop. nopez, all gone. all's left of me this "holiday" is planning planning planning. if nt, home blogging blogging blogging, NFSU2NFSU2NFSU2.

DAMMIT!!! *puts head down on the table and shakes head... =(*

this morn was listening to firefly, eyes kinda started stinging. then closed my eyes a while, then opened them. i was tearing... gosh. i think my eyes are too dry. eye mo! xD had a strange dream too, but shant say. i kinda felt more relieved, yet worse, yet betta after last nite's sleep... very confused feeling leh. and i was feeling so lathargic today i knocked into my toilet door! wah lauz. my parents were asking me about my piano results... i din dare say... i told them i dunno. for once, my mum couldnt see thru my lie... somehow i feel this year, tho much more exciting socially and less routinal, has become quite a failure of a year... my mind has been too focused on something, which leads to every other thing kinda falling apart... haish... geoff's rite, i need to pick myself up and get back to my normal-self b4 i start affecting the band as well with warped and hasty decisions...

Playing NFSU2 can get a lil irritating at times. makes me very angry too. i'm leading all the way, and suddenly the comp plants a normal street car outta nowhere and i crash. then i recover, chase the leading car and overtake. that guy suddenly has to swerve into me and spin me out. its a freaking 7min race! gosh... den gotta restart race. BAH...

maybe i dun need to be F1 racer la. WRC not bad oso. my dad's car dealer drove us to the HQ to sign some papers in his Impreza WRX. i mean, who cool can dat get? turbo-charged supercar! pity not STi, but heck! he pumps the accelerator, the opp reaction juz pushes u into the seat, and before you know it, he has to change gear and u're juz gaining more and more speed! his skills are good too! he was maneouvering through the obstacle-course-like car park like nth. woot! skills! dang. now number plate is SFZ6921, meaning when the car-dealer registers our car next sat and we get it, it may be SFZ 9---. argh... nvm. like my parents say, as long as can strike lottery, who cares? my parents ah... xD

i bought 3vcds today! taxi 2, taxi (american) and Monster-In-Law! all comedies. gonna get ready to laugh my arse off! =D where's e popcorn?

ok. RGS girls. Be warned. Bring ear-muffs or wateva u can to block out noise on 4th november, when u go to school. ronin or wateva singaporean band is gonna come perform at ur sch. RI walked out of the LT all deaf and headache juz now. so be warned. unless u're the heavy metal kind. *head throbs*

had this nearly 2hr discussion with ms tang on BB stuff. lots of stuff to do le. chiong chiong chiong!!!

gosh, i think i'm thinking too much today... (not academically, after ronin, i couldnt even do simple mole concept volumetric calculations...) got back my piano results... dun wanna tok abt it... i passed, if that's any consolation AT ALL...

oh yea, geoff and i were talking abt reality shows like bachelor and bachelorette. honestly, its a degradation of the human morals, conscience and society. wat's with playing around with love and such? are ppl that greedy? the mentality of "i'll pick all, then i'll slowly eliminate one by one to choose my guy/ger" dammit, the opp sex has feelings too! love is mutual, and ppl are using these kinda bo liao shows to possibly ruin someone's love life foreva? goodness. they shouldnt flirt around liddat lor! love 1 person den love 1 person, not go hurt that guy/ger's feelings. idiot sia.

went lanning with geoff. damn shiok, tho we din get to play CS.... sad. 1 on 1 dota quite fun sia! these kinda games very free roaming and long lasting. we took 1 hr and couldnt finish e game! xD

gee... i'm downright tired. shd sleep earli tonite... (like i ever do...)

This song is so beautiful, its even on my blog music now:

Can't take my eyes off you: Frankie Valli

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:

Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you,
stayAnd let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay..

i juz read this from a certain website:

As you have been told earlier, there is going to be a redox quiz held in week 8 (monday and wednesday depending on your timetable) during chemistry period. It is a short (20 minutes, 20 marks) quiz on redox and ionic equations.
You may want to take this opportunity after CT to study for it since it is going to be graded and counted towards your sec4 Chemistry CA component. An excellent way to start the new year!
Please consult your respective chemistry teachers during subject review next week should there be any doubts.


WAH LAU EH!!! I NOT STRESSED ENUFF IZZIT! EXCELLENT WAY TO START A NEW YEAR?! POOI! y did i join the school i chose to join? (u can see i din write down e name of e website and my sch name. or else, i'll get admin personnel hounding me like they hounded my frens... tok abt freedom of speech...)

Me dire pourquoi... quelqu'un me dire pourquoi... apres tout que j'avait fait pour toi, même si vous ne savez pas de lui... mais venir de lui penser, pourquoi devrait vous soigne? je suis mais une marionnette à toi, une marionnette disposée...

sometimes, life can be juz so down. and the thing is, its not even your fault. take a look at today's grand prix. all montoya did was to race to his very best, and a portruding drain cover that the race officials in China din check properly ended his race. Renault took the Constructor's Championship as well. (now i warn anyone against tagging abt this on my blog. u'll get it bad) anyway, makes me think wat i could hv done, tt i din even know, culd hv caused a change in someone else's life. or wat someone else did indirectly affected mine. it can be so co-incidental, so unfortunate, yet it happens. u think u'd hv brightened up someone's life, u made his/hers worse. u thought that by dumping a piece of rubbish on e floor wun matter, u caused some guy who's runing e corridor to die by falling hard on his/her head. sometimes we cant prevent it. that's the irony. gosh... that's part of the concept called "fate" for you. something happens to your life coz of stg others did, but no-one knows its gonna turn out like this, no one expects it. gee... stupid drain cover... >.<

i wonder... has our society gone too far into meritocracy? where results and everything matter, but not passion? where meer quantitative results on some ink, a piece of paper and 1 bit of memory matter much more than the burning passion, the beauty of the heart? why is it that ppl with the paper and nice looking numbers on ink get everything, while those displaying much more fervor, much more enthusiasm and much more love for the particular subject or stg get thrown aside? why is it that humans cant look into the heart to see how a person feels toward stg? so wat if someone is betta quantiatively? he/she may be smarter, may be more academic. so wat? it totally defeats the never-say-die attitude that others who may nt hv as much IQ or something similar? Edison or someone successful in a similar field of study once said "success is 1% IQ, and 99% hardwork with passion" shouldnt those who dont possess as much of the 1%, but much more of the 99% be given a chance? be given the oppurtunity? someone who has, in fact, longed for something that another with higher IQ, with less passion gotten so much easier? if humans could choose, all of us would hv chosen to be smart. most, at least. the thing is, we cant. we cant. Give those ppl with passion equal oppurtunities, look beyond the 1234567890 of logic and deep into the passion of the <3. c'mon, practice wat u preach. DO IT!

Boys Brigade -First For Boys @ 1:57 PM
after reading today's Sunday Times, and being asked by a few frens, I think i should address this issue of BB in RI (at the very least). my family background is kinda buddhist, i think. but i've never been uncomfortable or anything with the way Christianity is weaved into BB. And i've joined Bible Quiz for 2yrs. Wat does this say? BB yes, is a Christian Organisation. We conduct Singspiration, prayers, Christian Education. But we offer this sort of a choice for the Boys. In Christian Education, our teachers give illustrations of stories from the Bible and we often learn wat kind of lessons and such we can apply into our lives. Non-Christians still benefit from these lessons, like those of honesty, of trust and such. When there's more spiritual events involved, we give the Boys an option to join in. most, if not all, do. Junda, ACCAL, has a Taoist family background. he can still take part actively in activities. We do our planning, our execution and events in a more secular environment. We, in fact, operate just like any other UG does. we've got our drill, our physical trainings, our badgework and parades. As a Boy, I've benefitted loads from BB. its turned me from a selfish, immature, angsty yet introverted young kid to a more open, more matured, still emotional but not that angsty teenager. I've benefitted loads as a person, as a friend and as a leader by interacting with Christian friends, understanding the way Christianity works. Adventure Quest, one of our major competitions, aims to promote bonding and the essence of teamwork and perserverence in order to reach our goals. The aim of BB is not to turn everyone into Christians, but to use Christian values, the faith of God to teach and to infuse the character that we should possess in our daily lives. We often see this lacking nowadays in many students. Lack of respect, lack of moral courage, lack of basic discipline. BB helps. Lots.

At the end of the day, BB is still based on two pillars: Christian Education and Disipline. Therefore, yea, we do have religious activities, like prayers and such. Evangelism will occur, but its not forced upon. If u want to reject, no one foreces you to go to church and stuff. we just spread the goodwill of Chrisitianity, our faith. When Boys feel uncomfortable with the Christian part of BB, he can choose to quit. So far, i've onli known of one person who has. Everyone else stayed because they understand the objectives and aims of BB. "The Object of The Boys' Brigade shall be the advancement of Christ's Kingdom among Boys and the promotion of habits of Obedience, Reverence, Discipline, Self-Respect and all that tends towards a true Christian Manliness. "
(mind u, not "turn everyone into Christians, but the promotion of the values one can learn from Christianity")

The purpose of my post today is to explain wat we do in BB to give a clearer idea to ppl. Hopefully everyone has a clearer idea now. Phew...

woah... juz now i was playing NFSU 2 to chill out. then there was this very very long street circuit race. at the start, (as usual), the other cars used turbo and overtook me. somehow, my mind suddenly turned this whole race into a metaphor for an aspect of my life. The sudden angst and adrenaline juz got pumped into me. it was somehow like a mixture of anger at the lack of performance, determination to win and to beat the crap outta e other opponents. each time i overtook 1 car, there was this odd sense of sadism (its not sadism, but i cant find e word to put it right) that made me purposely hit the other car at an angle so it would spin out. at each successful attempt, there'd be this sense of happiness in me... at each failed attempt or each crash i made with the road cars, that jolt of furiosity and pain juz went thru me. It din juz happen to one race, but all e races i raced today. then when i'd overtaken all cars, taken e lead, boosted my turbo, it felt good. i won. it felt real good. a great sense of satisfaction, accomplishment, and that sort of happiness. a sort of seemingly evil, but definately justified and good happiness. is my metaphor to tt particular aspect of my life realli so accurate? issit realli liddat? i think it is. there's this agreement, the kind of relaxed feeling when my body expresses wat it feels like expressing, i can feel inside my body as i'm typing this out. I think i've always been very competitive. but never, and i stress NEVER, had the thirst for success, the thirst of being THE ONE to win ever been so great, so overwhelming, so powerful that its surrounding my whole body, adding turbo to myself, pushing me on. i doubt most of u will get wat i mean in this post. maybe all. i can no longer find comfort in juz expressing myself now. i can't. i'll take action to fulfil it. here i come.

let me calculate how far i jogged today...

Time taken:
4xbusindre reels = 3x4min33sec = 18min3sec
1x Dragostea Din Tei = 3min34sec

1.3km = 3min34sec + half of busindre = 3min17sec
= 6min 50sec

therefore, distance run = 21min 37sec / 6min50sec
= approx. 3.2km

3.2km in 21min............ OMG PATHETIC!!!! i used to to 4.8-5km in tt timing! wah lau... wat did sinus and a 5wk break do to my lungs... MUST TRAIN MUST TRAIN MUST TRAIN... GRRR...

but i must say busindre reel is very good in giving me adrenaline! thinking of AQ, that my band is playing busindre reel non-stop to encourage my AQ team to keep pushing and pushing and pushing... ahhh... beautiful! those were the days where spirits were always high, encouragement, brotherhood, support, spirit peaked BB 60th. Those are the days that are coming. AQ2006. Vengeance is 60th. watch out. i'm in gorilla mode once again. (x

whee! did stg real stupid today. i think. 3pm, after waking up groggily, i take my tau huay (soy bean curdle), pour 1 big spoon of milo into it, stir and stir, and put in freezer for 10min. then i eat it. (not) surprisingly, it tastes quite good! but its real high energy! i betta go jog later. =P

French exam is OVER! still got DELF A2. XX saw jie! wah... veh veh tall! juz stands out (literally and technically) above all other RG gers. din get to meet due to circumstances but heck, there's always another time. =D i spent quite a bit of money yesterday, drinking ice chocolate fr Coffee Bean, eating this eating tt. xD Shopping, as in juz walking around looking at stuff, is quite relaxing! veh effective for shan shan xin! shall do tt often after CTs end! hehe!

tt nite, read harry potter. i managed to finish the book. its a very beautiful book, coz its real vivid and brings lots of emotions and imagination in! Dumbledore's death, Ginny loving Harry etc etc brought about this powerful theme of "Love" in this book. and there's the hatred against Snape, Voldemort. ahh... read till 2am... >.< but hey, its stg i aint done in ages! and there was u accompanying me thru sms! ((= both of us whose lights gave up on us. (x

Don't tag vulgarities or anything crude on my tagboard. i HATE it. seriously. whenever i see some vulgar words or such (nowadays, i know i used to do tt last time), it brings about this aura of evilness or wateva kinda feeling into me. disgusting.

307 days to go! mug hard to clear this final hurdle! (((=
