just a short post....gtg and do some math practise for upcoming math and a math test....

Not much to say, haven't posted for that same reason...wanna know wad happened in IGG yesterday at BB? Well, i think my guild owned all, we managed to protect fabriz for the whole game duration while still getting a handful of frags, so far so gd. Our teamwork has been excellent and the mercenary adv is really gd, we got adriel as an extra mecenary :) luckily he didn't make us do drill or sth....

Turned out BB ended really late yesterday, so i almost forgot Romeo and Juliet, i left the ticket at home...luckiliy i live just across the street, so my mum brought it to sch for me, thanks mum :) Well, i had no time to change out of my wet attire, so i went into the CPA in a tshirt and shorts....boy was it cold in there, don't forget i was drenched. so i sat alone for the first half of the play between 2 girls.....anyway, during the break i managed to meet up with Derek again, so i felt more easy, i mean with the whole sch packed with girls at every corner, it's kinda weird.

Romeo and Juliet was quite easy to understand, and was really funny at some parts, you could say i enjoyed it quite a bit...but the problem was all the ppl laughed at the wrong times....(all the mg girls to be specific), like when juliet says 'where is my romeo', and romeo is just sitting nxt to her, ppl think its funny and start laughing....i was like WAD? funny meh....nvrmind, see how you guys enjoy the play this wed... It was played by the same TNT grp, romeo was hamlet, juliet was ophelia...yes the fat one.....i hear groans already.

My hair finally lost its virginity, like i tried to use wax today, kinda weird the first time, and i think i put a little too much, but its ok, i kinda like the way i don't always need to push my fringe up everytime i go the restroom, convenient, esp when your hair's short, that's when you need wax the most....

Math tests coming up, i got nth to practise with, so i fell kinda unprepared....the prob now is i'm slacking while everyone is doing their work, mostly coz i already finished liao, but it makes me feel bad when i play and slack a whole day without doing work....sigh

Tried to learn some jap today, so funny....konnichiwa....watashi.....hmmm actually wasn't that hard but i don't get the part abt the pronunciation of long vowels and double constanants....i dunno wad's the difference in pronunciation of a single constanant and a double. and the thing abt the pronunciation of 'n' is also confusing....perhaps sean or derek can enlighten me on this...

Watched Kung Fu hustle....lol...super slap stick and plotless but nevertheless funny and a joy to watch...the CGI was entertaining....

Well that ends my post, adieu!! (argh too much romeo and juliet....)

sorry for my ignorance of this blog...but don't wry, i'm not gonna let it die (at least not so soon) :)
wanted to blog yesterday and the day b4, but decided against it, i was just TOO tired i tell ya....sleeping at 12 plus every night (or morning) kills you, i only get like 6 hrs of sleep a day, and i dunno how sean manages it.
Chem research for the ws finally done, i managed to find out how B2H6 bonds so i was so happy, but it cost me like 1 hour. Chinese zhuan ti zuo ye finally disappeared from my sight today, so happy. I saw ian's diabolical plan and was amazed, wad a creative idea....(and sean took all credit for it), anyway, it compelled me to touch up mine, and i think i doubled the word count or sth, but to the detriment of IHS and chinese test.
IHS so hard today, all the answers so close, and chinese even worse, i got the first question wrong liao, even though the tian xie han zi had hanyu pinyin, i still write the first word wrongly.....(btw it was the 'xi',yes for all you ppl who got it right, which is probably all of you, plz fell free to gloat and laugh at me ...)
Sigh....ferdinand quek leaving us liao, barely a mth and he leaves us, so sad, the worst part is he's still teaching 3.10, and we get sushila and the MALGUDI DAYS......We will all miss ferninand quek ya? he's such a friendly and humorous guy, better than loh chin ee. Funny how everyone started out hating him and now he's like super well-liked. He and his mangoes and the jiggling old woman.
Solved conflicts with like justin. he's quite ok, but i better try not to cheese him off by acting smart or sth. I find i have this uncanny ability to chees off ppl, like i'm so annoying at times...not that i want to annoy you, i just need someone to talk to and someone to interact with. Derek often gets annoyed with me for like being uncooperative and immature and all, he seems so mature and so guai lah, and like with his pro arsenal of philosophies and vocabulary, he can make anyone feel guilty or look bad....he's almost always right lah, all retorts are futile, he'll just retort back with some cheem lingo, go ahead and try, he always wins....he always exposes all the bad in me and all, and being human of course i try to cover up but always in vain...sometimes he's a little direct but well i dunno.....maybe i'm just too sensitive.
Talking bout derek, we tried to do some stupid toilet paper thing yesterday to daniel and derek, folks like ian and sean and CW will remember so clearly what we tried to do. Btw, derek was quite annoyed and angry so yeah, go apologize or sth.
What can i say, sch life is just the same everyday, if i don't post, it's coz there's nth to talk bout, but i cross my fingers, i will definitely try to post everyday, ok?

ok so today bill chia taught more abt molecules and how they work, and then he said the punchline....'if only things were that simple' and yeah, things got MORE confusing again, chem is so tough lah, we're learning A lvl stuff btw, so that's a consolation if you don't understand a thing.

Btw, Bill chia said sth bout orbitals, so being my usual self, i just get excited coz its interesting, and coz i spent 3 hours plus reading on it while trying to understand the chem ws. Basically i get overexcited, and haolianed, of course i didn't mean to, and i'm sry if i made anyone feel inferior, but i was just excited, you know the kind of feeling you get when you find yourself understanding what you spent so long looking through, yeah just excited, and Justin spoilt it for me...i dunno wad he has against me, i didn't do anything to him lah. this morning he just walked past me from behind while i was walking to sch, didn't even utter a 'hello' or sth, hey at least i'm more friendly right?

Justin has his usual clan of frens, tien, john,elliot, eliel, i'm fine with that, but i dunno why he hates me so much, issit coz i'm smart...? If my 'smartness' makes me such an unfriendly person, i'd rather not be smart you know? Who here thinks i'm haolian or proud, if you do, tell me so i can change, i mean i'm already trying so hard to be modest.....and everyone keeps saying i'm smart, wad' s your problem lah. Justin keeps saying i'm smart for one thing. Today he said 'it'd be better if you shut up...' so yeah i shut up and stopped on the orbitals thing, i offered to teach him, he said he didn't care....what did i do???? Ian says Justin is quite a nice guy, i so sry i can't agree even though i wish i could.....I gave him a lift to the airport that time for the OEP, i try to be nice, and i'm hated even more...its depressing.

If anytime i don't help ppl with their work its coz i'm busy helping someone else, or i'm trying to finish and do work myself, i don't mean to be selfish, its just that i'm busy, so don't get the misconception that i'm ignoring you. And if it means so much to you guys that i don't contribute to class and start making you guys feel inferior, i'll stop.

Nowadays, no one appreciates a curious person, someone interested in learning, yesterday i was asking my couz bout chem and talking about orbitals and all again. She asked me to stop talking bout hwk, oh well, i'm not talking bout hwk, its just interest, that's all. Now i see how much passion can drive you to do, but there are SO many wet blankets out there....

I don't know wad's wrong wif me, but i guess ppl out there know, so you have to tell me, help me to improve as a person so i can be a better friend or sth....i don't know wad to do lah, second time i'm so depressed over this liao.............

i have a grand total of 10 minutes to blog abt 2 days worth of things, wow, this will be quite fun....

Today's youth grp we studied John1, i think michael did quite a gd debut lesson for us, even though his diction isn't always up to standard (pronouncing time like Mr Ma.....scary). But its ok, we learnt alot abt how to draw close to God and the importance of memorising verses to use as a spiritual sword against Satan during spiritual attacks (spiritual attacks are so scary, and they can even occur in your dreams.....i am scared but being scared is one of the feelings from Satan, i shld feel assured in God :) )

Playing piano again nxt wk, then the wk after that i'm going for the GEP enrichment camp cruise, so hwee has to take over for that wk, apparently she wasn't too happy about that...firstly becoz it was HYMN sunday...haha all hymns. Did i mention b4 that i'd prefer normal worship songs to hymns anytime....Oh yeah Jessica, hwee's classmate, came again today, so glad we have someone new at the preaching point finally.....i mean how often do you get someone new when your church is in some obscure place in S'pore....i.e a cinema hall in Woodland's Causeway Point....So yeah, i'd welcome anyone who wanted to come to my church, we're shorthanded anyway and could use more people who are willing to serve.

I added like 10 more words to my chinese proj, like that's going to make a diff.....ian claims he has discovered some secret way to plz XSH, that's amazing, but i think its probably a hoax coz its impossible, anyway, i already wrote in my zhou ji to XSH that everyone in class hates her, so i wonder whether she's gonna do anything about it. Simply put it, i think everyone misses loo.

Went to Kinokuniya yesterday to browse ard and use my bk voucher, i settled on some card trick bk, now you know how i learn all those tricks. Oh i was so bored i browsed the language section and learnt like some italian and japanese, i must be bored lah.....Oh and the Chingay was so noisy you could hear it from deep inside Kinokuniya....i dunno, its quite 'gay' lah (word pun unintended), so noisy and all and yet ppl go and watch it...esp the angmoh tourists. I think S'pore is running into some tourism crisis, that's why there's so much hype abt the casino. Abt my stand, i feel we shldn't have the casino, its gonna get everyone addicted....and i know how easy it is to get hooked, last wk i played blackjack and bet like one buck, and got hooked, oops....

ok gtg now, mom is nagging, nagnagnag, cya

Set the record for longest time taken to write a zuo wen yet!!! guess....one hour....nope, not even close, i think i took about 2 hours plus, that's like fail liao lah, lucky not exam? yeah, why so slow? Coz the china teacher gave us some silly title that you can't write anything bout.....so i stayed back an hour after sch, with fabriz waiting for me to finish up. I actually wrote 1 and a half pages and then i scrapped it and started again, i think i'm either terrible at zuo wen or i just had a serious mental block. I need to boost my morale by doing another zuo wen soon....and i'd better do better. So i was late....and i went to piano at 3, at least i managed to hitch a ride back home on auntie sui gek's car.....

Chinese teacher very demanding bout our zhuan ti zuo ye, i haven't shown her mine, but ian's was rejected, poor guy. C'mon lah, we put in like so much effort and she go and compare us to her guai sec ones. DON'T THE TEACHERS EVER GETTIT? sec ones work super hard, its some kind of disease, and their innocence is wiped off by the time their like sec 3, it just works that way. Even i think i've become slacker compared to sec one....

Starkingdoms fiasco today. Fabriz alledgedly hacked sean's account and made him bash to get him into trouble (sean suspected as his kd made an attack while he was at NCC)....after that sean hacked into fab's account coz i suggested a password (how i know fab didn't change his pw....) and sean went to change fab's post in the forums and make him confess that he had hacked into sean's account.....so here there everywhere all got problems. I told sean not to do anything liao, i told fab as well, and then they all start killing each other.....hopefully i don't get involved as well, coz i'm growing really well and this is my best game yet....this fiasco is not gd for nxt game....we must get along together to do well....reminds me of the band....

Azmi's first lesson observation today, we super guai and listen to him teach Chinese Remainder Theorum. We all agreed it was really cool but me and ian couldn't figure out why the method worked...it's like one of those really pro formulas, but you dunno how it works....and i feel that concept is more important than just memorising the formula....

Tests coming up, got to get back to mugging and practising my A math.....tommorow got BB, full uniform some more, haiz. anyway, got to get the night ambush game done tomorrow...still thinking of ideas...cya lah

Friday, February 18, 2005

I'm bored, waiting for chinese proj to print out slowly....in colour so its like ultimately slow, why can't i have a laser printer or sth, like ZAP and done, yay, the last time i saw a laser printer was like 2 yrs ago at my dad's office.....sigh horrendously long lah, and my mum's chasing me, the only reason why i still have time to blog is coz i'm multitasking waiting for this to be done.

Yesterday there was some worm outbreak, windows98 roxs and does not get affected, oh well. Apparently it was spread through msn messenger, ppl like sean kana. You r msn sends to all the online contacts. file names like 'me and you' or 'jim carrrey as super chicken....' so silly right? Sean blames it on the RI ppl who sent it to him.

SMP: first meeting yesterday, derek says richard khaw looks like wee loong and matthew lau like xian jun...really meh? Anyway, nxt wk meeting will be serious one, wiht experiments and all teh stuff. Mentors seem to have quite high expectations of us, want us to go ALL THE WAY....well blame it on the hardworking RG girls who did this topic last yr....

Eric is in! After like debating during recess and derek's unusual maturedness, we settled on a consensus. Ppl like Fab and Dan still not very happy bout the decision...well just remeber that we need to love one another to achieve unity as the bible says. Just pray that it'll all work all eventually. Problem now with finding a studio, i dunno how feasible it the one uncle joel talked bout...we'll see on sunday, hopefully he comes to church. We have problems thinking of wad service we can provide with this band as well. We need to fulfill CASL...sigh. Anyway, no band name yet, we might be called like...'nameless' or sth

I'll end with Azmi joke of the day:

Q: Why did Tigger look into the toilet bowl?
A: Because he was looking for POOh!!!!

haha gettit? i think Azmi is lame, but that's what makes him such a nice and fun teacher, btw he's having observation tomorrow with Drong sitting in, better behave well and give a gd impression

Printing finally done, the black and white pages printed in like one minute so i'm done...yay...tomorrow must mug some more, esp for Amath remainder theorum, i'm quite weak at it.....one moment i can do questions, another moment i can't...very scared in the exam come out those kind of question, wad to do?? well that's tomorrow so cya!!

Controversy over eric in the band. Wad's wrong with eric, you guys act as if he's some kind of bad guy. I don't see wad's so bad bout him. Sure, he likes to hao lian some times, likes to show off a little some times and impress us, but doesn't everyone else. Who here is not guilty of wanting to show off some of their talent huh? And eric has this flair for guitar, don't waste it, put it to gd use.

You peeps keep coming up with ultimately lame excuses for kicking eric out. Too many guitarists...well we need backups, not everyone can make it on the same day, also, only some ppl are gd enuff to play/strum certain parts, we need as much talent as we can get. He's annoying, i don't know him well enuff, well that's wad a band is for, to bond us together and to foster teamwork. If you don't know a person well, why not get to know him? It benefits both parties. I have worked with eric b4, yes he slacks a lot and all, but this is different, its sth he's passionate about. Think about it, if you're passionate about sth you would keep working on it. He's so excited bout it....the only reason why he slacks is coz he has no passion for schwrk.

Don't be a stumbling block to the building of the kingdom of God, i think by kicking eric out we might be going against God's will (or we might be doing God's will, so i'm not too sure, pray about it ya?) Eric wants to serve, we all want to serve, one in vision one in christ, let's all be united together for the well being of God's kingdom. We are all brothers in christ, you get rid of eric now, he'll still be in heaven, and you have to live with him for eternity. Since you have to live with every one else for eternity in heaven, shouldn't we try to get along with everyone first so we don't have so much problems in heaven

For band members reading this post, i hope it gives you my perspective of the situation. Maybe you agree with me or disagree, its up to you, i can't do a thing bout it. Just make sure wadever decision is made, it's God's will, all of you pray about it k?

Took 3 hrs to find a suitable chem article for my hwk.....sigh, chem is confusing, everyone who doesn't agree must be mad.

Today Chinese teacher skipped to fifth chapter....and she didn't even finish the fourth chapter, so that leaves us to mug by ourselves. IB is so much self study and independence it's kinda sickening. So far, i feel i only learnt sth from like bio and chem....physics, i dunno. We keep side tracking in physics and during lesson time, today jason chan wasn't ard, and he gave us a ws, which of course we didn't know how to do coz we knew NTH!!! Yesterday, he taught a 'piss-lesson', he used the example of a man pissing on an aeroplane that was accelerating, i didn't take away any knowledge, apparently it was some lesson on relativity or sth like that.

Ding's bdae today, we gave him a card and sang he happy bdae when the nation wide alarm for total defence day sounded during C math class. Azmi presented the card to Ding. lol, we are so bad to ding lah, i think he feels super paiseh now.

Band coming along slowly, had a vote for eric today, why can't they just let eric join, he's pretty gd wad. I can't see why you deny a guy a chance to serve God. Anyway, decided on worthy is the lamb, lord i lift your name on high and above all for a simple beginning.

First SMP meeting tomorrow with matthew lau and richard khaw, me and derek are really excited, well i hope our mentor roxors....*crosses fingers*

Tests coming up in wk 8 and 9, very near liao, i'm quite anxious coz its the first test of the yr, got to do it well and start this yr positively ya? I'm esp worried bout physics and Of course....Chinese.

Speaking of that, i gtg now to mug the shou ce and revise the ci yu. Wonder if i'm the only one who has started revision..... oh and got to do a gd quiet time tonight, been sleeping too much liao

If you think being smart if fun, you should read on coz it's not true.......

Being smart is crummy, ask ian for example, basically you start getting top in everything, no problem, but it always feels kinda pai seh when you have to use a tray to collect all your awards on Founders Day....and it puts lots of pressure on yourself and people have super high expectations of you. Why can't i be normal, i'm just like everyone else ya? I just mug harder, in fact my IQ isn't fantastic, ppl like ChongWee have IQs higher than me. I'm not naturally smart or intelligent, its just mugging, hard work and dilligence, if only ppl could distinguish btw the 2.

Take today for example, i messed up for lit paper, got 13/25, btw thats 52/100, which is a fail in 'GEP standards'. Sure i get a little upset and all, and then Ferdinand Quek tells us he was lenient, wad's that supposed to mean, that i actually got like wad...10/25.....Not that that's not enuff, ppl are getting like 19/25, even 21/25 (John lah, so tall....) !!! I wrote a whole lot of crap and i get 13....i think nxt time i'll write like super short and to the point lah...if that's wad they want. The assignment was graded, i'm dead lah, better do better for reading assignment or i si liao.

Being smart isn't gd because of ppl 'sakar-ing' you ALL THE TIME. Lemme name a handful of such ppl, hmmm: fish, jlo (and his routine of bowing down to you, ding shld know....), john (during Bio class....he says like 'tim is my new best fren'), and so many many more ppl (suspect sloke at times too). In fact i don't even know who's my real fren and who's just trying to sakar me to squeeze answers outta me. I can't trust anyone liao....its annoying when ppl associate everything of you with the word "good" like daniel....'wow blogging is SO COOL coz tim does it'.....haiz, i dunno wad to do liao. I have no real frens do i? As ian said b4, i guess i'm just a doormat being used by ppl. Its kinda unfair.....at least some ppl appreciate me for my personality and all, and the most unlikely ppl as well, ppl like Chong Wee....

And when you do badly in sth, ppl are shocked, like wad, issit wrong for me not to get top in class, issit wrong for me to make a mistake, to make a spelling error? OF COURSE NOT? so why can't i make mistakes without being bothered by ppl? And during tests, ppl go CRAZY when they beat me in tests, wad's the deal bout me? I don' t mind being beaten, its just that i mind ppl making such a commotion over it...(i remember genhuong when he beat me in geog......)

I was quite unhappy today, at least my tuition teacher had diarheoa, so no tuition......my mum keeps complaining that i use the com too much, well its just schwrk, and yeah from now on i'll play less then....sigh, i'm so useless lah. State of depression soon, better be careful, somehow i'm starting to despise myself so i better stop myself.....

well better luck tomorrow, maybe it'll be a better day...

Life is A Gamble

dunno why i suddenly thought of this title, it was my theme for last yr's art btw...

Today played in church, was ok except that we were unrehearsed and Uncle Joel was playing impromptu, we messed up a little, going off beat several times. I think the best part was when i played a C chord in the A major, that was like cao funny lah. Hwee was fine with 'Let Us Break Bread', so proud of her, so little time oreddi so pro, must really Thank God for his blessings...Sermon was bout the importance of humility for unity within christians

After church went to Uncle Wilson's place. I tried to teach my cousins bridge but failed horribly....bridge is so hard to teach lah, all the bidding stuff is quite complicated. We opted for sth less complicated----BlackJack, 2 cards each, i learnt it like in a matter of seconds. Apparently i had begginer's luck so i owned them, i start with 1 buck and invested to 1.70, courtesy of the last game where i bid all my money and won, so i doubled my money :)

Visted aunt's place (father's side) after that, was reading my bio reference bk coz i was bored and my bro was duelling pkm cards with gerald....2-1 to my bro, and courtesy of the deck crafted by me...:) I don't know my aunt very well, only knew the names of my cousins like wad, 2 days ago? Sharon, Karen and Danny.....And they're all like 5 yrs or more older than me. Karen getting married on 12 march, last day of sch if i'm not wrong. Apparently she's going Barcelona and Amsterdam for honeymoon, lucky hor?

My bro said sth funny today, he say he didn't wanna go Fairfield Secondary because it was co-ed, like what's wrong wif him right?? I mean at least say you donwanna go coz my dad's teaching there, not because there are girls? ACS does things to you i think....

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, No valentine yet but ....sigh

Sunday, February 13, 2005

Wasted my whole afternoon from like 3 plus till 7 plus reading my math txtbk, sigh, i really am a cao mugger right? Anyway, finally understood graphs, thx to my father of course. But wad always tricks me is the negative values....annoying leh. Tests coming really soon, one week till term tests, and in my true tim spirit, better start mugging away liao.

Today was strange, i had the sudden urge to do math after waking up, weird, but i took a really old txtbook and started reading and reading, i was bored....anyway, 11 i left for BB, GACCM, council meeting to plan the camp, presented my stuff, Siyan came late so the responsibilty fell on me. So kewl, we're thinking of planning the night games sth like RISK!!! Except i dunno how attacking is gonna be done (Definitely NOT using dice.....that was a silly suggestion from ding of all ppl...)

Still have to type out minutes of the meetings and send to Mr Sim, sian leh. And i need to go online to discuss my game concept with my guild and all. Putting so much time on BB this yr, its a big commitment, and its tiring me out....no time to do like leisure and stuff. I didn't practise my guitar today, hopefully i don't forget the notes for Running After You. Still have to practice and perfect my hymns for tomorrow in church, i really don't want to mess up, esp the doxology, still remember the first time i played it, i couldn't start at all, paiseh paiseh....Playing for worship and praise tomorrow as well, but i'd rather play chords than hymns, Sure, hymns are gd, but they are so hard to play, although i think Ian has no prob with em coz he's a pro side-reader....i'm lousy at side reading, i mean i failed side reading in the test, it almost cost me a pass. Better get a merit for Grade 7 at least, or Lim Clan all laugh at me again....

gtg now, lots of things to do, so little time, why can't we just have 48 hrs in a day???

Saturday, February 12, 2005

posting past midnight again, why so late, let's just say i had to stuggle with some math probs from Azmi.....why do i get this feeling i'm gonna fail Amath, can't even do the Remainder Factor Theory questions from the txtbk....:(

Today was quite bad actually. Started out with me annoyed with my lack of planning and all....didn't plan visit to Sean's in advance, clashed with piano, gave me a headache, so disappointed in my disorganizedness...if there's such a word.

In the end, 6 hrs at Sean's house, doing wad? 4 hrs of Fifa, 2 hrs of actual jamming, we did running after you, cool song, but hard to play on the guit, gd thing we have like 3 guitarists to play the song, coz it's essential, listen to the song and you understand. Fifa skills improving, can score sean-style goals now, even scored from a cross and header, i am gd :)....but yeah i got 2 arsenal players sent off in ONE match, but of course not all my fault lah, ian gave the whole midfield line yellow cards in the first half so yeah....

MAth is so hard, how did Matthew Mun get 100 for Amath? IMpossible i say.....i was slogging out with the practises today and i couldn't do half the questions....so hard, wad to do? I want to cry liao, dunno how to do, have to ask my dad, and i feel useless. Feel worse, coz i make careless mistakes like '-' signs........i lousy lah...

Well gtg, enjoy the new watermelon-girl blogskin......david sure would....and abuse the chatterbox for all i care :)

Misunderstood

You know how it feels when you're misunderstood.......
Its like today, nth went my way, stayed ovr at couz's home last night, this morn thought i was going home immediately, turns out we went to visit some Uncle Anthony and his baby with cancer. So yeah i didn't get to do any work or go home and jam on my substandard electric guitar....

Then, just when i look forward to a tasty steamboat, i get told that i have to go to my nai nai's bdae celebration at a restaurant, so yeah i have to skip the steamboat.....and my mum only told me today, just when i was looking forward to it....its just annoying. SO yeah i get annoyed, throw a slight tantrum, say why this why that, and then she calls me 'selfish', since when was reasoning with my mum 'selfish'? I'm just trying to explain myself. She says i was uncooperative, well i DID follow her willingly to Uncle Anthony's didn't i? Why can't ppl see the gd in me, i'm not All bad am i? Why can't they understand that all i want is to be understood, is to be appreciated for the gd i have, and not constantly critisized for my bad pts.......It's annoying when you're not appreciated ya know....just annoying. At least i'm not angry anymore, well the bible says don't let the sun go down while you're angry...or sth like that at least...But better be careful, coz if i don't feel appreciated all the time, it may like develop into depression or sth....

I went home finally, like 3 hrs off my initial expectation, i download Azmi's math supp hw, and i do it.....just to make myself feel like i'm doing sth useful during CNY. I jam on my guitar, yay, i'm getting better at open up the gates...:) and yeah, i may go to sean's place to play tom. that'll be gd, except i have piano lesson tomorrow as well.....

At my aunts place, at least i got a little taste of the steamboat, and i played a little mahjong, but that was it...oh yeah watched Mulan as well... It's funny how disney movies that are so old only have their tv premiere like today....oh btw, i watched on a pirated VCD...wad you expect? I miss steamboat, after all its only once a year, wad a pity, it's all coz of poor planning i think, nxt yr, i vow to help my dad plan better so i don't miss a gd steamboat..

Okkie, back home now, wad to do, prob some work to make CNY useful, just look through my past reports, touch up and....OH CRAP, still have chinese report to do, got to get those photos, i need more photos, daniel has too few liao.....sian leh this proj stuff....IB is so tuff, the worst thing is that it's only the first term and everyone's dying liao

CNY Celebration

At my cousins house right now, apparently i'm gonna stay over so yay. Today was CNY, went ard the usual routine of visiting ppl and getting more and more HONGBAO!! Today was the first CNY that i wore long pants, very uncomfortable lah, wore it unwillingly to plz my mum.......
Went to Nai nai's house first, ate prawn rolls and all my fav CNY goodies, like that white cookie stuff. Btw, i was like eating so many of the white cookies thinking they were the most healthy of all the goodies (coz i'm slightly weight concious remember??), then my mom told me they were made of coconut....i was like, wad?! and stopped eating immediately, ate the funny fishball crackers instead...
Visited Taitai later on, met up with all my couz....first time i saw hwee in such a short skirt...(i'm just observant, not that i'm a perv or anything but yeah....) Anywayz, i met my extended family and as usual i didn't knoe half of the ppl. wait more than half to be exact. Rachel (youngest couz) very niao today, super sticky, can't even play wif her, always wanna be wif mummy, i think she does it on purpose.
Now i'm at couz's place, nth much to do, bout bout to play some mahjong wif Huijun....gonna win and thrash the adults whee! Anywayz, i survived the first day of CNY, let's see wad happens tomorrow....

Well, just came back from reuinion dinner at 'soup restaurant' at changi airport, came on so late today just to blog and ski....anyway, after this gonna go practise on the electric guitar for 'Open Up the Gates' , it's hard and painful on my fingers but yeah i'll do it for God!!!

Today's CNY celebration started with a splendid concert in sch, it was the best in like 3 yrs, anyway, ng teck seng was mc, so ppl like tien were going mad over their 'lao shi', and yea, he did make the concert more enjoyable. Also, the skit put up by the Chinese PRCs was hilarious, esp the part with the library and all the corny jokes bout the library teacher saying stuff.....
"Com 9 why so many people?"
"Com 10, what are you doing, how come i see a girl in a bikini on the screen?"
"urr.....Doing...Art" hahahaha

Btw, went to Sean's place to jam today, but b4 that, we made a huge detour to HPPS, naturally me and ian felt really left out. We sat in 'Study Haven" and listened to Sean's Ipod, familarized ourselves with the songs that we were gonna play. I felt so uncomfortable in HPPS lah, i knew absolutely nobody.....and Sean was like bringing us here and there....and i was like....what???

Anyway, at least he made up with gd charsiew beehoon lunch, and a fun session with Fifa 2005, where we played using Arsenal, and i scored one GOAL!!! besides that i made a lot of mistakes, like wad, shooting too high, passing to the opponent, messing up 'D' With 'S'.....well at least i scored a penalty as well (but it was a matter of tapping a button....:) )

In the end, we jammed 'Open up the Gates' the guitar part is really hard and i struggled to get it right, but yeah i'm fine now. Sean was helpless without a real drumset. At least ian played well to cover up. Looking forward to Fri, maybe can go Sean's place Again!!! Nxt time, we prob try like 'Running After You" ('the yeah song that fab always sings, as ian says...)

Haven't done any work today so i feel odd (i know i'm weird...), feel a little bad for slacking the whole day and not doing work, but that's wad CNY is for right? I'm sure no one else is doing anything productive as well (except maybe like Ding......) or wait, maybe i just finished everything liao so i'm slacking...hehe. Anyway, give myself a break today, tomorrow i'll finish up China proj and maybe the Lit writing thingy....

Gtg.....check on BB and class forums, oh yea and guitar too!!

Finished worship practise about an hour ago, apparently it was in my house, not in church, i was SO blur. Anyway, it was a GREAT time devoted to God. Everyone said i improved a lot since i first started, and i really thank God for that....Now my mum and dad are at Chinatown (i didn't wanna go.....) and my bro's alsleep, so i'm at home, alone.....in a way
First time i blogged twice in a day, i must be super bo liao but gtg soon
Anyway, Lim Clan gonna meet tomorrow at Sean's house for mini jam session, i got to bring my guitar, but the moment i bring it, it's gonna get swarmed by the likes of Eric and Kaijun, i just know it....i mean, yah its just an acoustic guitar.
Now i'm gonna go fulfill my promise to God and do a gd quiet time, tomorrow gtg and run 2.4km AGAIN, sian leh, run and run every single wk, can't we do sth else like soccer or badminton...anything but run...maybe even cheerleading (ken wei's cca....HAHAHA)...ok i'm just mad..
So cya, i dunno if i can blog tomorrow coz i have tuan yuan fan at the airport...crystal jade restaurant, but i would if i could, maybe at Sean's house, yeah that's a gd idea....
surprise, surprise, no tuition today, but got to start doing hwk soon coz i got worship practise later in church......

Nth much today, but Azmi scolded the class for the first time becoz of i'll bo chap attitude toward the math coursework, of course we're not all at fault but nvrmind, he apologized to us later, haha, just like tucky when i was in sec1, i mean, have you ever had teachers who actually apologize to you for scolding you!? Anyway, just shows Azmi's a great teacher, real glad to have him this year, but i wonder wad's all the deal bout having higher expectations of GEP students.

First official langartA lesson with Ferdinand Quek, he looks scary when he's not speaking, but he's really quite a fun guy...he made us write our names on playing cards (i got four of clubs...). Anyway, there was the episode of the 'un pullable screen' , he couldn't pull down the projector screen and it made a hilarious scene....He was like asking us for the password that would get the screen to stay down (eg. tien is ugly/tien is veryvery ugly....) and yeah....it left all of us in stitches..

Chem Prac: apparently i wrote a whole lot of redundant info and got 1 mark.....hey at least i showed effort, and how am i to know that the answer was so simple, i thought there was more to it than that, so i looked for more info and wrote down....and turns out all of it is redundant.....nvrmind, nxt time i shall write more to the point if that's wadBill Chia wants

Received First mail from SMP mentor Matthew Lau last night, he gave me and Derek some sites to read through about biofilm, i read and read and i understood a tinsy weeny bit. Looking forward to working in SMP, but it would really take up a lot of my time

The 3.9 Band is going fine, we are currently working out a schedule on who's free when and how we are gonna be grouped up...Main prob now is kester's mom disallows us to go to his home coz he has no maid, but we hope he'll let us if we do it in the porch....Anyway, Ding also wants to pull out of the band...why? He says there's too many pppl, would really want him to stay, but if he wants to go....we can't stop him.

Finished China proj!!! YEA!!! i need OEP pics for the proj, so i check daniel's briefcase, but wad gd is 15 pictures only, i think i need to ask fab for some photos or my proj will stink. on the topic of proj, i need to get physics done, i'm so motivated after looking at tien's (he did one whole long report).....Oh yea, first time i left hwk to last minute today when i went to library during recess to type out math proj, that was very 'heng'.....

Worship practise in like 2 hrs, which reminds me bout my relationship with God. ppl think i'm such a gd christian and all, but i think i'm just like/worse than everyone else, you should know wad's going on in my mind everyday....Anyway, i'm determined to go give him my all in my services to him from now on!!! And tonight i shall start anew, and renew my relationship with him by doing a gd session of quiet time and hopefully i can maintain this quiet time and relationship, i know its not easy but i'll try. After sinning countless of times, i often wonder whether God really forgives me, it does say in 1 john, but it says only when we earnestly repent will he forgive us----am i earnestly repenting? i really dunno.....i wish i could get rid of certain sins in my life....I want to serve him with a gd heart, i wanna play the keyboard for him, lead other believers into worship, i wanna make disciples and bring ppl to christ for him, atm tien and kenny are new christians, maybe i can guide them. And i have to help Chong Wee too, i tried last yr and got overpwred by his scienceness....well i just have to pray and trust God to work in CW's life....
I must be careful of worshipping only coz i like the songs, that's the wrong spirit, the wrong heart i shld have. I shld actually meditate on the words and really thank God, not just sing coz it sounds gd, that's an inherent problem with ppl like me sometimes.....
Well, i wanna live a better life for you Lord, thanks for all the changes you've implemented in my life so far, i see gradual improvements in my character, and i hope you'll keep working in me and moulding me, plz nvr give up on me Lord....amen

Just back from church and youth group fun session, finally learnt how to do a smash with the badminton racket, i'm not very good at badminton, but hopefully it'll get better....anywayz, tried my hand at pool as well, still can't get the posture right......but anyway, i managed to hit the white ball into the hole (that's a foul btw :)...)

'Offerring' is a nice song, maybe we can play it for the band, anyway, nxt wk i'm playing and tomorrow is my worship practise where i go all the way back to fairfield mother church and play....hopefully uncle joel's (drummer) back has no more problems, poor guy.

Nth much happened in these few days, just many late nights and all, i am VERY tired, i shld sleep earlier today....sian, chinese proj is causing me headaches, my typing speed is like 400 words in an hour, horrendously slow and tedious, i would handwrite it, but the china teacher wouldn't be too happy with that (she expects EVERYONE to have windows xp and han shen....sigh)

And yesterday BB, saw sec ones for the first time, they're all so weird, sec 4s planned the games terribly, and we all vowed to plan better games for future batches of sec ones.....Night Games for GAC, progress is extremely slow, Kester and Ian better think of sth gd soon .

Oh well gtg, slog out at chinese again and my physics Kinematics AA...

no one's found my blog yet...haha...

Anyway, today went for the SMP launch at nanyang polytec, met a few old classmates there from P6 who are now in RI (Marc See lost a lot of weight), surprisingly they recognized me first. Besides that me and Derek just sat through the whole talk and all...boring but essential for this SMP thingy.Oh yeah, our base for the nxt few mths for SMP is in Nanyang poly (with 4 other RI grps...), wtc right? all the way in AngMoKio, and i live in Dover....:( The distances btw stops on the NS line of the MRT are so long.....It takes like 10 mins from yio chu kang to khatib..

Chinese teacher was cruel today, 4 chang wen suo duan, evil......i couldn't stand the sight of it, so i finished like 3 out of the 4....i couldn't understand half the passages though...And abt the new exam format, i think i'm gonna lose out, more on reading and stuff outside of txtbks, sounds scary if you ask me, i'm prob gonna fail chinese nxt yr (coz this yr still the same), i'm sure ian's worried bout the new system as well.

Oh yeah the BAND, no progress so far, we had no meeting during recess coz me and sean were skiing and ian was blogging, too bad, anyway, no name for the band yet, but i'm sure we'll come up with one. Ian and derek arranging songs, i dunno who's choosing them thoug, don't choose me coz i dunno comtemp. songs, i'm a classical guy, still in the age of 'heart of worship'....playing piano soon for church, better get practising, its the first time since OEP

Dunno wad happened, apparently Jaq said i 'looked gd' to darren on an msn convo.....wow that sure boosts my self-esteem alright....but coming from her, dunno if its trustable (no off.)....szus was appalled by bryan's taste on wed....:)

Anyway gtg now, got chinese to do....sian, i wrote 2.7k words and wasted half my effort, coz now i'm constrained to just oriental greenboat...cya

sry, had no time to blog yesterday, but yah, i'll tel you wad happened yesterday.....:) I saw kenwei!! yes he came down to ACS to visit us as he was dismissed early. He was clad in NUS high uniform (wierd, white shirt and light green pants) and came down with bryan and jaq (bryan's gf, yes i was shown the proof on ken's hp). Anyway, we chatted a lot abt our schlife and exchanged many jokes and experiences. Unfortunately, i felt there was sth bout him that had changed, i dunno wad it was, but sth was different, he just wasn't the kenwei that i knew anymore, he didn't seem to miss me as much as i missed him..:( disappointing.
Well then, today did the CNY decor and thus skipped Art Club!!! who wants to do quilling anyway, so boring, just rolling strips of paper....anyway, got to remember to think of sth for the wk i'm taking over the Art Club meeting.
So much hwk, so little time, just took a 1hr plus nap, wasted so much time, after this got to go and rush work liao....got chem, langartB, wah sian, i wanna check sk, but that'll have to wait unfortunately.
Well i'm in a rush, so gtg now, cya

Nostalgia

nostalgia hit me today, after i read through some ppl's blogs....i realize how much i miss kenwei, why did you go to NUS high??? The last time i talked to him was when i wished him a happy bdae, quite long ago actually. Well, was reading his blog and read abt the sleepovers we had and the fun we had together....oh well, its a thing of the past now, hopefully we can still keep in touch via msn messenger or sth....haven't logged on to msn in a long time anyway. I hope this friendship doesn't end in ruins like the one i had with edric in the past. sigh, times pass so fast....I miss kenwei and his lightheartedness and his fun spirit and humor...and funny how i used to dislike him when we sat at the table in p.6. Its not just because of games or anything that bonds us together, its more we just go together really well, as in we can chat for hours at a go......

Nostalgia, reminds me of church, my mother church, i went back during watch night abt a month ago, and noone remembers me. Why? becoz i lost weight and i look different now. Just half a year i changed my look by losing like 10kg and now noone recognizes me. I wave, they don't even notice. Yep still remember some names: stho, aloisious, lois......well that's like 3 yrs ago. Wow, its been a long time since i moved to the preaching point....

now i'm going onto msn, see if kenwei is online, hopefully i can exchange a few words with him eh? he's on!!!!! oh well you know wad that means, gtg now, hope he has time to spare for me....its been a long long time...haiz

btw, i'm becoming mod for the class forums: hurrah!!! :)
