TEACHER'S DAY GREETINGS!!!!

in no order of merit:

Mr Jason Chan:
Thanks for bearing with us even though you always got the last few periods where we nvr ever paid attention. You always have a smile on and are always willing to lend a ear to the class's questions regarding everything from Wave theory to Snell's law. Staying back during recess to teach, and coming late for lessons so that we have free periods (lol it's a free period regardless). Dramatic in all aspects (remember...it's time for SHOW AND TELL!!)....you were great this year. somehow always overshadowed by the more dominant ms phuan though :P

Ms Phuan Siew Khoon:
PCT this year, lots of scoldings from you, sometimes even a bit ridiculous and illogical. Asking us to stand in 2 lines and still get the sun, the reccuring switching of of lights everytime we're noisy...but hey! some of it was for our own good. You spoke up when we were in the wrong and taught us the right stuff. Biology was really quite boring this year....sometimes you were kinda dry and lacked that sense of humor, but other times bio was a blast. From goat guts to frog hearts...you were always there beside us. Notably one of the shorter teachers and with the trademark buck teeth...but looks are not all that matter! will miss ya if you're going overseas next year....

Mr Azmi Azeman:
Had no idea who you were at the start of the year...some RI boy from cambridge. You are getting stricter but still as friendly as at the start of the year. Yes, a healthy balance between the respect of a teacher and the intimacy of a friend is very much required. You detest impunctuality and noise (yes i remember). Pushups and self-deprecation go together and the latter is a no-no. Though i have stocked up 700 pushups, you have been gracious and have not forced them upon me...even offering to cancel the debt this thursday....thank so much! It's been so great that we got ya on the year that we take 2 maths...that way we see ya the most of all the teachers...and it's been an AZmazing time...thank God. Yes, your guitar skills will improve, and one day you will fall to my tricks. :P

Mr Bill Chia/chia chia liang teh/Pex:
SMP mentor, thanks for the help. Missed you so much when you went and when Glynn Tan was teaching us, your sense of humor is set at quite a high standard. Heard you used to be a PE teacher..and we also feel you have the potential to excel as a chinese teacher!! The chem pracs were enjoyable when you were there, and sry i disappointed you when i overtook tien in the term 3 results, coz you expected tien to be tops, and i fully agree with that as well. sry also for snail-slow SMP report submission and poster making, me and derek are trying real hard.

Mdm XSH:
evidently the whole class is against you, but your patience is really commendable. Thanks for putting up with our antics and our lack of interest during chinese. You teach the most hated subject and the courage shld be well rewarded! I don't know if i shld be glad that i'm your teacher's pet, but well thanks for forgiving me when i forget to do my job in bringing newspapers, zuo ye books and zhou ji to class. Also, because of this pet thing, i rarely get scolded for anything, even a bit of chatting in class. My name is the most oftenly mentioned in your lessons for some odd reason...well...don't give up hope on us!

Ms Loh Chin Ee:
Must remember to bring crucible book!! Thanks for putting up with John as your illustrious language arts representative, not laughing too hard when i cast Arnold Schwarzenegger as Danforth, and being there to support us at the debate rounds! Loved the way you claimed that if we won it would be due to you and if we lost it would be nothing to do with you. The only teacher with an apple mac...bill gates wouldn't be pleased.

Ms Suseela:
Evidently the most stressed out teacher of all....so sry for the noisy lessons and the seemingly useless effort in trying to educate us in poetry and the likes. Again thanks for the help in the debate. Putting up with us is no joke, you're not the only one having problems, i have this feeling you might leave next year due to stress, but don't give up too easily, not all classes are as annoying as us and have Eric!

that's it i guess....hmm who did i miss? POD, IHS, PE, all the acronyms...i don't think i'll bother...:P

gtg bye!

today it's all coz of sean so i'll post.

celebrated bdae with famliy at grandma's place today....things that have happened close to my bdae:

1) I become camp commandant for BB company camp, wad the. Well, hopefully God will lead the way and help me plan a camp that will truly bond the cohorts together! actually to be honest...camp chairman does nth except sit on a chair and order ppl to do things...i must work harder.

2) I have officially self-deprecated at least another 5 times within this week. haha, in your face sir! i think i'm taking advantage of this too far :P joking joking. i haven't self -deprecated at all lah, it's programed in me by sir already. lol

3) Fab bleeds....mr sim, kester, xunliang, emil and i visited him yesterday, ended up training mr sim's account in agility and stealing silk from the silk store. after that, we watch fab play castle wars and the hypnotic song gets stuck in your head after some time

4) BB OPEN!!! all are welcome, it's a spoof of table tennis using files and books as paddles and giant balls as table tennis balls. Adriel owned me, xunliang owned me, steven owned me, what can i say? i'm a newb to BB open, will keep trying to hone my skills in the art.

5) nxt week gonna go kayaking with the folks at church! yay!

6) Mango creamy cheese cake of doom for my bdae....*stares at paunch* oh noes

i have to go, exams in a month, better get worrying guys!

Friday, August 26, 2005

becoz of eric's generous comments on the tagboard i will persist in posting though it is way past my sleeping time considering i have to wake up by 6.30 tomorrow.

Ding thinks i am miffed (btw that means pissed) at him becoz he ovrtook me during cross country run...i deny all these rumors. Btw ding was fast i was not giving him chance. The run was pretty good, unfortunately kenny got stiched and derek was just tired. Ding persisted behind me and we crossed the finishing line (almost) together.

Poor fab, getting 4 teeth pulled out is really bad, for fab's bdae i will get him the tampon that his nick says he needs. In all my innocence i will ask an innocent question: what in a world is a tampon? i have a feeling it's a taboo word. btw, sir azmi thinks i dunno wad the meaning of sex is.

Mr Bill Chia's words of wisdom: to all those ppl who have bdaes in September, why do so many ppl have bdaes in september...well you count back 9 mths and you figure that most couples do it during december/november holidays when it's all cool and cuddly and the holiday spirit is in the air...ahhh

tomorrow is a mega tiring day, starting with BB in the morning and ending with BB in the night. gd luck to me and all those in BB :/

yesterday took a walk down to Ghim Moh and revisited the place of my childhood, Dover road block 14, just opposite my condo right now. I missed the big dining hall and the spacious apartments, missed the secludeness of the area and the peacefulness. Sometimes we think back on our childhood and the places we've gone to b4 and it just strikes us how beautiful the world was back then. In a word it's known as nostalgia. So the place now is upgraded with pull up bars and all, last nite i did 7 pull ups!! not in a row!! :P

also i stupidly try the foot reflexology walk, the one with pebbles and stones and i regret it 10 seconds later when the dumb rocks keep digging into my feet. wad a relief when you get to the part with the big pebbles...the small ones are just evil. like mr azmi's math bk

today in class ian and fab got their revenge on me, derek traps me by my legs and then they started to torment me with tickling...it was the most horrid 10 seconds of my life except for the foot reflex walk. I will get back at fabriz haha. BQ retreat is coming...i'm gonna get ya

After BQ retreat gonna go visit kenwei, i don't think i've seen him in a lonnnggg time, hope to catch up.

well that's it for today, i will now open myself up. *opens himself up*

btw i self deprecated today but to no forfeit because of the sacredness of my birthday, all my debts will be canceled! ha!

Wednesday, August 24, 2005

Mr Azmi says i shld open up more and talk more abt my life....he says i'm good at talking abt homework and math and stuff, but not good at talking abt my personal life and wad's going on. I guess this is all abt the recent problems i've been facing as well...and thanks for all the concern. Well it's not as if i'm not opening up, i'm trying :) and anyway most of the time i don't talk abt personal things coz there's no need to or nobody asked in the first place. therefore i cannot be blamed too much.

There will definitely be some things that i will decline to answer. About the problem i'm facing, i'm working around it with God's help. It's been around since P5, developed since lonnnggg ago in P1 and P2 i guess, so it's no easy deal. And there's no cause to worry too much abt me, i've been dealing with it for real long already, now i just have to face it

I'm not good at opening up anyways, but given the chance i would. Ok so ask away...i'll try to answer as many questions as possible. Anyway there's not much abt me, i'm just an ordinary guy , ordinary christian serving God in an ordinary world, trying my best to plz Him in all that i do, CE NCO, worship in church and recently in school. nothing more and nothing less.

My blog has been termed saintly by a few, and i won't change, sometimes i defend the teachers coz truly it isn't their fault but in fact ours. Sometimes i seem like a teacher's pet and all, but i'm not doing it for favour, i'm doing it coz i feel that it's wrong to accuse someone who isn't totally at fault.

ok cya guys, slp early for cross country, let us run the good race tomorrow!!

i know this is an ego post....but

MY BDAE IS IN ONE AND HALF WEEKSS!! yay!

1 september....teacher's day...easy to remember, i guess that's why everyone seems to remember my bdae...and plus...it's ALWAYS a holiday...now that's the best part. Nxt thursday...now kenwei is inviting me for some gathering ovr at his place...hmm TOS.

Well, 2 things i learnt abt ding today. One, he is taking his piano exam and is playing the pieces i have b4!! 2, he can bend his thumb backwards more than 90 degrees....it is really scary, fab erks out at the sight of it. Plus, Jin can do it too, so we conclude that ding and jin are relatives.

T-shirt design for my preaching point!!! yay!!! i spent like 2 hrs on a design and i finally created one....now i even use it as an avatar on my msn....chat if you wanna see...comments are welcome.

I am so short of stuff to post...i will not blame you guys if you do not tag...but plz do :P

MPP, me and jmac walk right past the Supreme court without noticing it...out of this world. We realise that if we had walked another 10 metres we would have reached the parliament house, instead we turned around and walked 400m in the wrong direction :)

And then while walking back from Buona vista MRT on the way back home...i clash into fab, bong and phil, who try to taopok me. 30m away from them i waved to them and they couldn't recognise me until we were closer...this is fab's testimony:

'Tim, we thought you were some ACJC girl walking back, then when you waved we were like, who the heck is that? why would we know her?'

i attempt now to clarify that neither am i from ACJC or am i a girl. And ACJC skirts are short...in wad way were my berms short? lol. i laughed it off...but this event really says sth.

Things i have learnt from MPP:
1) the parliamentary system is interesting...MPP was really intriguing and challenging. Finally got to understand some of the principles of government of Singapore

2)Ding and Derek are so pro at asking questions.

3) Always bang something and go 'hear hear' when you hear a super cheem point that half the time you don't comprehend.

4) never pose a question to the proposition when the proposition is your team :P

5) Jin can't tell the diff. between prop and opp.

6) The majority of Nanyang Girl's High is incredibly feminist....

7) Dunman did not prepare amply/ Dunman also were extremely uncomfortable with the topic of sex...so the nanyang girls were smart in choosing that topic to debate over. Dunman students totally collapsed. With points like 'Man can rape if the women consents to rape (oxymoronic)' and 'Men can force a woman to have sexual intercourse because the natural urge of men is to have sex'

8) Men is pronouned as Man...not as the 'men' in 'women'

9) i left my bag in the same locker as Gerald.

10) Ted Kin is a Malaysian Prime Minister of Singapore


16-12 RUgBY!!! Szus bro was like the man of the match or sth! 11 out of 16 points!!! pwnage!

Reasons to win rugby:
1) school honor

2) top boys' sports school

3) Just to feel happy

4) Most importantly to all the boys.....HOLIDAY.

by the way...i felt the jeering of the Saints was a bit too much. it's like everytime the saints took a penalty, we were really evil and booed them. Then when it was our penalty, we shut up. it was a bit unfair and definitely not a good show of sportsmanship. How do you balance supporting your school and giving respect to the opponent. In the end because of this i did not cheer as loudly for our team as i would have. It was no fair to the Saints....we were being proud and we were being unsporty. in the end we won...and the saints were still clapping for us....now that's sportsmanship. Also i did not hear the saints jeer when we were having the penalty, they gave the silence that was needed. That's sportmanship.

i hope there were some that felt like me.

talking about respect...today MPP oso, the Dunman ppl were being laughed at....and the whole house was being evil and laughing, it was hard to resist but the laughing made the students feel even worse and more uneasy, poor guys...at least some of us were controlling and trying to give them respect, i could see some NY girls who at least had respect and tried to quieten down. Also the laughing shows that, well, we are all still a bit immature on the subject of sex.

well i gtg, enuff for tonight...tomorrow has BB...haiz

HOW to be a social outcast:

1) well you take me and ding's surd bridge game, go to some place in orchard road, lay a picnic mat and start playing surd bridge, pretty soon people will come along and gawk at your geekiness and utter boredness.

'Geeks.....' 'wad's that? is that math? geeks!' 'Who are they? GEPers?'

lol ok enuff of that...it was derek's idea. well more abt the game thing...ding and i didn't exactly get the enthusiasm that we hoped for....esp. after putting in 4 hrs of work on those cards and 1 hr plus on the brainstorming of the idea. well it was not really welcomed and the loopholes were so many it was really really bad. Hopefully it'll catch on eventually, people seem to prefer just shuffling the cards. AND NO RIFFLE SHUFFLE Plz.

no tuition today...but i was only informed at 5:30....crap i could have gone and tutored Ramasamy but now i missed another session of SL...feel like i'm such a slacker coz i haven't been to like so many sessions liao...one thing is i really wanna serve....another thing is i really want some post-SL soccer too....:(

MPP. somehow i got involved in it this friday...must be coz i kachiao the MPP guys yesterday making the cards with ding...lol. Must support tedkin..he is gonna make one great speech...with his querky actions and unique accent. must support Ding too!! DISC!!! DISC!!! ok sry

Since i've read ian's blog on all the great things abt JooChiat...i decided also to talk a lil bout my hometown!!! Dover and the area around!

1) Lots of schools here....enuff for a lifetime or learning, you go from one of the many primary schs..FMPS, GhimMoh, up to ACSI or newtown sec, up to ACJC then end it off at NUS....

2) I lived ard this area for soooo long....when i moved house i moved from Dover HDB to Heritage View in Dover...lol

3) 74, 196, 33, 14, 166. The big five of dover....esp. 74. Oh and did i mention bus 11 as well? i use that one the most.

4) Roxors Fried Prawn Mee and Char Kway Teow at dover market, yea the old market...not the food centres. $2 only...makes the school ones seem like a ripoff. And recently there's a 7-11 put up there. Ghim Moh nearby has good Duck Rice (Johnson's Duck Rice) and Lotus Soup....oh and another 7-11, and Macs (no escaping from that)

5) Ghim Moh has this like 3km road thing to run across...use to do it when i was fat...but i dumped it coz it's tiring.

Well i can't think well now...give me another day or so...as of now...gtg study bio...cya

Tuesday, August 16, 2005

this wk has been hectic....the return of the past and the struggle with sin which i found out still dwells in me though i continually try to expel it. Fortunately (and hopefully), God forgives and God loves and God gives chances, many many many many chances. Thank you so much. I don't know why....but blog posts seem to be a sort of prayer to me sometimes...an assurance that i've been redeemed by God again...i just hope it's not false assurance....

guilt...not all guilt is REAL guilt....i dunno whether it's true...but after being forgiven i still feel guilt even though i shouldn't...i feel that God is still mad or sth....i dunno....it's gross sin, repeated sin that doesn't go away, surely it's enough reason for God to dump me altogether? Well to all those bearing the burden of guilt, make sure that you've confessed and earnestly repented, and after that any subsequent guilt feelings is probably just your consciense being over sensitive or the devil trying to make you stumble.

it's true, the more we serve God, the more trouble and temptations we run into. the exact same place that God brought me that gave me an opportunity to serve Him through playing piano (Causeway Point) was the exact root of many of my temptations at one time. God helped me overcome the temptations there, but elsewhere i still falter....i see improvements in my resistance....but not enough...resistance isn't as good as totally not doing the sin at all.

Well hopefully i'll get by, i just failed God again, confessed, hopefully earnestly....and i pray that God's face shines upon me again.

I wish there were a sign to warn me if my heart was growing cold or my conscience was hardening....coz nowadays i fell less guilty about my sin...2 reasons:

good reason: I am more assured of forgiveness and don't feel as guilty
bad reason: my heart is hardening....i'm deceiving myself

ahhh...it's tough being a Christian...all the sins you have to let go of....and i won't lie anymore...sins are pleasurable.....enjoyable....but we have to let go!

Sunday, August 14, 2005

To all those that gave emotional support for my struggle thank you!! and thanks to Mr Azmi for the longlonglong tag. Still finding it hard to let go but i will try harder.....repentance must be sincere and i will try to make it as sincere as possible! btw...guess away...i'm not sure if you guys will ever guess wad it is i'm struggling with...and actually i'd rather if you guys never found out....don't get me wrong, not because you guys aren't good frens but i'm just not comfortable with it.

pre playing for school anxiety.....ahhh!!! and i'm the piano...for goodness sakes i have the most solos!!! ahhh...God bless the worship team tomorrow and help it not to be just a performance...pray oso for a positive reaction of the congregation to the songs...and pray that the holy spirit will fill the auditorium tomorrow!!! oh yea...pray that jin will not start malingering and pon sch tomorrow :P

ok! badminton today! i found out i always give nice projectile shots and smashing opportunities, i am such a great asset....to the opposing team :). i learned how to try to smash and how to try to keep the shuttlecock low so the opponent can't smash. I also learned that the badminton court's floor is slippery...ow my bum

Youth camp in december...still in planning, but we have so few youth it'll only be really small scale and i'm like incharge of one fifth the activities of the camp...lol. doing games and doing worship (for the reason that i play guitar....) wah it's gonna be stressful. hwee is the camp commandant by popular demand...hahaha (badminton match...if i won hwee would be camp commandant...if i lost...hwee would be camp commandant...not much of a choice)

on the topic of camps...art club camp has been cancelled...and so has art club :(.......bye bye art room...lots of memories there to last a lifetime.

oh wellz....i shan't bore you with other stuff since there's nth to talk abt. cya

Friday, August 12, 2005

today was one of the lowest lows ever of my whole christian walk...i just fell apart. The previous post was a poem...strongholds....literally STRONGholds.....it came back today. wad is 'it'....well i can't say....it's just not right for me to say coz it's so embarassing and shameful. It's only between me and God....yea God's the only person to know....my skeletons in the closet....no one else knows and i guess no one else will understand the struggle i'm going through with myself now. It's terrible...why can't i just stop it....i haven't done it since january and i had to spark it off again....fortunately God still forgives me for this mistake...but i need to find a way to stop sinning altogether....

Well i don't wish to reveal too much....no one would believe me....not even my parents....no one would believe what i do in secret. A really vague clue would be Deuteronomy...but it has sooo many verses and so many possiblities no one would actually find out....and i don't wish for anyone to find out.....i just hope that God can help me through this....i dont' wish to let anyone else but Him know.

So much for that...don't wry abt me too much....i'm still perfectly normal in sch and everything...it's just an internal struggle and i put this post down to remind myself that today was the day i stumbled again and the day i will denounce this sin once more and try my best to avoid it again....

why the countless temptations??? i suffer because of them...struggle.

for those like me struggling with temptation...always remember...'no temptation has siezed you except what is common to man, but God is faithful and will never let you be tempted beyond what you can bear and when you are tempted He will provide a way out for you'

the problem is a find it hard to take the way out......

Wednesday, August 10, 2005

Struggling with strongholds,
Unmentionable strongholds, things I'm
Ashamed of.
Over and over,
Again and again.
Why can't I break free?

I ask myself,
Can God stop forgiving?
Seventy times seven, I'm afraid
My quota's up,
Long overdue.
Could I renew the contract?

Trials, temptations
Lurking, prowling,
Devil's bait. And I stumble,
Over and over,
Again and again.
Why can't I break free?

I fall,
Try my best not to but
Slip, trip, willingly
Into Satan's snare.
Gripped by delightable sin.
But guilt,
Grips harder

Forgive us our trepasses,
A prayer I pray,
Hypocritically,
Over and over,
Again and again.
Why can't I break free?

Repentance,
If only it were earnest.
God always forgives,
Men always sin.
A vicious cycle, over and over
Why can't men break free?

Thanks God,
For receiving the
Prodigal Son, me
Over and over,
Again and again
Though I don't break free.

God, empower me,
Help me to repent
Earnestly.
Persistence to finish the race,
And receive
The crown of Life

Eloi, Eloi
Don't forsake me
When I fall
Pick me up
Over and over,
Again and again,

Thank You
For being faithful,
With Christ's help,
I will break free.
In Jesus name,
Amen.

I have found out that there are soooo many things i'm not good at...but b4 i go any further...i will have to ban mr azmi from my blog because i am about to engage in self-deprecation. This post does not exist sir!!!

ok that shld do fine.

hmm...worship practise wasn't as bad as i expected. mr azmi was generous and once again plotted to stuff me and ian in a ploy to fatten us up. so we switched 'forever' with 'did you hear the mountains tremble'. Jin wasn't singing too bad....szus on the bass guitar...and everyone else did really well! i try my hand at the drums, as usual really shaky...uncle joel says i don't have the stroke for drums. On sunday he says like right in front of me...almost intentionally...to my brother 'frankly i prefer you to play the drums than....*whispers in bro's ear*'" i felt it was pretty obvious and nasty but nvrmind he probably didn't feel that way.

doesn't matter whether i have the natural flair for drums! even if i don't i'm determined to learn and hopefully with God's strength try and do well in it. And if i gain the skill then i'll use it in service to Him as well! I know i can't excel in everything...but i find drums enjoyable and i have a passion for it....just wish i could do better

Well national day finally comes to a close...with the finale song...i do the number 40 dance at home and to the amusement of my family members...hmmm...so looks like i'm bad at dancing as well...William Hung could not have said it any better 'I can't sing and I can't dance'....lol. but i try my best and that's what matters...and i guess one of my purposes in life was to provide comic entertainment and relief anyway. and btw...the music video for reach out for the skies is hilarious if you look at what Taufik's eyes stray away to every moment or so...:)

Another thing...i can nvr keep in touch with old frens....in sec1 lost contact with edric....and last yr with ken wei...of course i wanted to visit him this june but i could Never find the time....upsetting. fortunately there was a reunion at band nite. ppl like ian can keep in touch with tao nan frens and all...wish i was as good at that too! i don't want to lose frens that easily! imagine nxt time when we all graduate and go our separate ways...i wonder who i'll still be keeping in touch with..as many as possible ya?

Christian living and quiet time...i still can't do quiet time on a regular basis..it's so tough to do it regularly and yet not making it a routine. I've been trying a new method recently...it's always good to have variety to prevent 'routine-lization'. and fortunately God has put ppl in my life to guide me and encourage me along this walk with Him.

I'm bad at waking up....end up late in sch...and late in the mornings....i say 5 more minutes...but you know

Was nvr made for sport....besides soccer which i have some hope in. In basketball i'm the king of air balls! In badminton and table tennis i always hit the net and give the opponents smashing opportunities. In bowling the longkang is well used. Swimming i struggle to move forward though i can keep afloat. pullups....i still trying to do one proper one. pathetic....and i thought guys were supposed to be pretty good at sport. well at least i can run 2.4km pretty fast

well so many things i'm not good with....socializing (esp with strangers)....self-control and other stuff. but i try and i hope the effort is appreciated. sometimes i think i'm emotionally unstable or i'm just too sensitive for my own good...maybe i shouldn't care too much or worry too much....

well of course...i'm oso bad at updating my blog...so i came up with this long post to compensate...well cya!!

Sunday, August 07, 2005

Things to do at Band Night:

1) Applaud after the band done their tuning :P

2) Do not sit behing Mr Azmi and make a lot of noise....or you'll be sent to the prefects....just ask the girls behind who were scolded by him

3) Sit directly behind ian so you can poke him?

4) during intermission go and kachao all the band people

5) Join the We Love Jonno Fanclub and shout real loud 'Jonno WE LOVE YOU' after band nite is over.

6) keep persistently asking for an encore even after the encore has finished

7) Chat up with old frens!!! Yea saw ken wei there....hoping to meet up again soon...was a good catching up session and nice to meet his NUS frens as well!

8) Offer Arjun Mr Azmi's 'Ah Beng' comb :)

Well gtg...so much hwk so little time...

Wednesday, August 03, 2005

LEt's reach out 4 the skies!!!! it's patriotism wk...national day is coming soon, flags fly high in the HDB flats....NDP practises...jets zooming across the sky....a whole myriad of red and white.
so much for patriotism....most of the ppl i know don't show much love for the country....well including me...just look a typical pledge recital or national anthem...most of the time it's lost it's original meaning for us. Probably coz s'pore hasn't really been in any crisis b4 for the ppl the bond together and really fight for the country.

honestly...we're more attached and willing to fight for fenris..and take more notice of our kingdom (of loathing) than Singapore...and it's nothing to be proud about.

A true national day shld be everyday...not just 9 August (bet half of you can't remember this...i almost put 8 Aug :P)...and we shld show the love and concern for s'pore everyday!! after all it's our country!!! like we shld be more involved in issues of the country...more loyal...more proud to be part of it.

part of the problem is probably the lack of a true singaporean identity...a symbol of this country...but give a few more years and i think it will soon form. A true identity means no copying and no koping...give it time...the government is infusing external stuff like arts and esplanade...but i don't think it really works that way...give it more time

Well...enuff of that...i come home today and i find out tuition is canceled coz Huijun has like sth on and hwee has softball...bah...i was thinking of skiving at home but after some thought i chose to help with SL since i didn't go previously.

Ramasamy must be the most fit p2 boy i ever seen...so excited...run all the way from class to study haven...we ran one round ard the sch b4 reaching study haven...lol. He's quite guai lah...better than kenny's Akash. So i read to him 'the magic string' after a failure with 'cross-with-us rhinoceros'... (for obvious reasons coz rhinoceros is so hard to read!!!) RamaSamy thought that a rhino is a t-rex...oh well

so we end up in a not so productive soccer session culminating in snatching of the soccer ball, kicking of it down to the bottom level...the scurry to throw the ball back up...and fab and me stealing the ball and evading a pack of 7 kids...taupok!! we end the session with our own soccer match where arjun was struck with dejavu....everytime ding pass to him...he nvr scores...hit the post...wadever...cannot score. When he finally did we applauded!! kenny's improving...Ding is just...pro.

cross-country tomorrow...sian. Math test today...sian...minus marks liao....goat's insides for biology lesson...><

UPDATE!!!! wow finally....:P

now today was the first worship band practise....it was reallly encouraging that we could bond..however there was the problem of unity....i think in music were united...but like in the case of communication and stuff it was substandard...and yea i think we also need to focus more on God...like not turn it into a performance kinda thing. Ian was like messing around with the keyboard and weird sounds came out....:P And the most hilarious thing today has to be lugging the drums all the way from the auditorium to the CPA and back!!! now you try that...it's hard...and to make matters worse...the band was there staring at us with strange glances..

well, i think either i have nth to talk abt...or i'm having an abnormal hormone surge...

an interesting question from my cousin on sunday:

'how many girl contacts you have on msn?'

i kinda pause for a moment..but the answer is certain...hmmm besides my cousin's contacts...i probably have none except Lejon's g/f (gasps!!) ok nvrmind...the last convo i had with alicia anway was a big joke...wait lemme look it up on my past records...

thanks for all your help gtg tata


hmmm strangely odd and boliao....seems the only things ppl talk to me abt these days is abt hwk and stuff...i must be gd for nothing else.

so back to the part abt girls....never had the chance and probably won't have a chance in a long long time. Besides a short stay at Fairfield Primary for 3 yrs....there was little contact with the opposite gender...hmmm...was nvr good with any of them in the first place. And honestly saying...which one of us here is?

why'd you think i start to put this girl (or at least androgynous person) on my blogskin and i have well...*ahem* for my avatar on msn...it's deprivation. Well of course deprivation isn't a bad thing...it removes distraction and allows me to focus on work and other more imporatant things right?

I'm your classic mugger....cao geek and i do nth else except hwk and work and no playing at all...i think i must be soooo weird...and compared to half the class or half the ppl i know...i guess i'm not as attractive? (lol and to the half below me...well...sorry :P). Not that looks matter...i think character is more important that outward appearance. Outward appearance is temporal, it fades away with age...it's superficial...character..well that lasts forever, and character is always harder to accept than looks.

of course looks matter so much at first...because no one will come to you if you don't have any...only when the intial attraction has taken place...then character comes in as an important factor...

lol i'm acting like i know a whole lot...but when it comes to actual experience i must say i'm a big loser...when it comes to socializing....i'm not that good...and when it comes with socializing with girls...well it gets worse!! the only girls i'm comfortable with are my cousins....and you find that only ard ppl you know well can you do stupid and insane things that make no sense....

well i'll end off b4 i reveal too much of myself regarding this matter :P

btw...does ian count as a female contact??? ( oh sorry!!! i was joking...really!!!!!!!!!! you can whack me in school if you get mad :P )
