A Pristine Beginning.

2011-01-22T00:34:00.006+08:00

alright, so i just booked out a couple of hours ago and im really tired. hence i shall keep this short and sweet. to the best of my ability.

firstly, my apologies for not updating for a gazillion years. hell i didnt even update where im at right now. heh anyways, i'll let you guys in on a bit of history. that 'period of uncertainty' i was talking about in my previous post; well it's gone now. haha it was gone that gazillion years ago. ended up at ocs, still in ocs nearing the end of my 9 months now. just another 78 days or so remaining. time sure flies eh..i've been through SO much ever since ocs started. really regret not having kept a journal. but photos help recall memories though. tough times, fun times, tiring times, trying times...

was looking through one of my ocs friend's livejournals today, christopher. he put up quite some photos of our cadet life in ocs and in brunei. just made me reminisce quite a bit. really quite amazed at how much we've been through and how far we've come. 6 months have come to a close already, and now we're 9 month soldiers. we'll be a 1 year soldier by the time we hit commissioning wooh! i've witnessed one comms parade so far and i must say it is by far the most amazing parade ever. you gotta see it to believe it, it was that awesome. all the more so seeing how the President was invited. too bad the newly commissioned officers didn't get to throw their peak caps/berets. rain washed out half the parade sigh. hopefully it's a beautiful day the day 80/10 commissions. not long now..not long at all :D

for those who're wondering, im in infantry. 'queen of the battlefield', home of the green berets. so if you look at highlights for the past few months of my life, this is it. OCS, Brunei JCC, witnessing a comms parade, getting stung by a darn hornet on the chin in Brunei (bluddy hell), seeing 2 new batches of cadets enter OCS, wearing drill boots and peak cap being the latest addition. and yes, my guitar learning endeavours are still ongoing. it's an on and off thing so im not really getting anywhere. yes i know i need to be more dedicated, thanks for reminding me.

it's freaking 1.11am now and i really should get some rest. feel like going to the gym in the morning. depends on my mood and more importantly what time i wake up at heh.

on another note, i really miss studying :( can't wait for uni to start, then again there are people who'd disagree with me haha.

cheers!

p.s. came back with the jcc badge ;)
btw, happy birthday mr.gareth lee and mr.luke chan! you're freaking 20, and you're freaking old...haha have a good one guys.

update.

2010-07-07T15:51:00.003+08:00

& so i've officially pop-ped and awaiting the next phase of these 2 years.

it's been a really fast 9 weeks in there. 'short and sweet' would best describe it i suppose. but just when we were getting to know one another, *wham* it's over. i guess that's life..never lets you have what you want for too long. even if it did, it probably won't last. but hey, we all had fun. we made friends we'll never forget and hopefully we'll bump into each other someday soon..

but for now, time to move onto something else which life has in store for us..another period of uncertainty heh. but it's this very uncertainty that maintains the excitement in life no? if we were so sure about everything that was going on around us, surprises would lose their meaning..and we wouldn't want that to happen would we. i could blabber on and this could turn out to be a literature essay i used to get absorbed into back in high school, but i haven't got the mood and i have better things to do. like think of something better to do. which brings me to the issue of whether i should sign on. drastic decision yes, but drastic situations call for drastic decisions. bah i'll explain in detail some other time.

thanks for reading :)

& this ends the update. till next time!

cheerios everyone

Krupa

imissed my ipod and friends

2010-05-28T19:26:00.001+08:00

so army's begun and i've made new friends. like shitloads of new friends. i don't know why but it feels like such a breeze that 4 weeks have passed already. ONLY 5 WEEKS TO POP wooh! heh cheapthrills i know, but hey u always have to look forward to something good in life right? all in a day's work i say.

it just feels so easy to get used to life in there. maybe it's because u realise that there are so many others who are in the same position as you are, and they have to go through the same thing that you have to. motivation in itself? definitely. one thing's for sure though, people will definitely come out as a better person.

one downside though, the weekends always seem to fly. :(
ROAR.

lol cheers everybody!

right or wrong

2010-04-12T18:38:00.005+08:00

thought i'd best put this down in black and white before it dissipates from the confines of my head.

sooo i'm finally blogging..thanks for the motivation Shadiq, haha thought this place was going to the dumps (i betcha it still is).

hmm you know how sometimes you feel like you've made a wrong decision only before it's too late? well I obviously don't want that to happen to me. and yea i know that i do have the cushion of about 2 years, more or less, with NS coming up and all. but then again it never hurts to settle things at the spur of the moment. yes i'm talking about the dreaded uni apps. well i'm done with them and all..the 'making the right decision' part (yea how many times have you heard that before heh) is what's left of this whole gruelling process.

i still think it's an uncertain future ahead for there are so many factors which can affect where i end up at. parents, choice of university, likes/dislikes, SAT scores or just about anything else under the sun. all i wanna say is that i wish things were more certain, and whether it is entirely up to me or someone/something else i know for sure that there's a part that i can play in making that choice..because so many things are subject to change these days i just don't know where to put my trust in.

alright, i'm rambling. hoping for the best and keeping my fingers crossed

cheers guys :D

(hope all's well with all you people reading this)

countdown: 16 more days to NS. jeez people are POP-ing already..

middle of nowhere

2010-03-12T20:09:00.003+08:00

heh thoughts aren't flowing as freely as i would have liked them to in this small little brain of mine. this hiatus in my verbal diarrhoea on my blog is partially to blame for that i suppose. no doubt a lot of things have happened since i last posted on feb 6th. some good ones, many bad ones. or maybe they've both occurred in equal amounts, but i'm just predisposed to turning a blind eye to the better parts of my life. this is probably the case with many people out there surely, but i tend to think that i take too many things in my life for granted and forget to give thanks for the good stuff going on around me.

i know my words have a very shallow appearance to those i haven't caught up with in ages, but this is all i can say for now so sorry guys. heh but trust me these are definitely not sweeping statements from my point of view. anyways, hopefully things will start getting better for me. and everyone else around me yes. just gotta think of this period as one of those 'lows' that cannot be avoided in anybody's life. i've just got to take it like a man and keep moving forward.

to top things off, i think i'm falling sick. blargh so much for trying to stay fit/ eat healthy (maybe not). slight fever+ headache+ body ache all over. good thing it's not as bad as last time though, couldn't even get out of bed in the morning sheesh. haven't seen much of the sun in a pretty long time. it's been home, home, home, home, school, home. and as for the guitar and spanish self-teaching...poof. i only picked up my guitar today cuz i didn't want to aggravate the headache with more gaming. heh and now my index finger hurts from playing the guitar for 3 straight hours without break. my lack of practice for abt 3 weeks is also to blame :S on the bright side now my guitar is in tune again ;) thank goodness for free microphones that can be attached to the computer, and of course, broadband and internet.

i really haven't the slightest clue as to how i'm going to live out my confinement camp without all these seeming necessities. but then again, NS sounds like exercise nearly 24/7 so it shouldn't be too much of a problem eh..and it really sucks that most of my friends are already in there exercising their butts off and by the time they're posted to their vocations, i'll probably be still awaiting enlistment or something. darn 28th april. on another note it does give me time to build up my swimming skillz. i am proud to say that i can now swim 25metres without stopping - frogstyle/breastroke. i never really would have imagined swimming to be so tiring. but in my defense i never really knew how to swim in the first place heh. sad i had to miss out on thursday's lesson cuz of bad health. anyways, hope the worst of the storm has passed and i'll be in the pink of health by sunrise tomorrow.

weekend's here and it's time to catch up with old chums again. can't wait to get away from this madness.

there ALWAYS lies hope :)

p.s. any good songs of late to recommend anyone? i feel i'm listening to age-old classics now

chores

2010-02-06T14:00:00.002+08:00

I must admit at this point that I am not a dedicated blogger. Evidently. Heh and my apologies on that. This being my first post of the year, it probably needs some juicy news to add flavour to it right? Well I'm about to disappoint you, marginally. Haha may mean nothing to you readers, but I've taken up guitar (from the previous post if i remember right) and also bothered myself to start learning ESPANOL!

It's an awesome language. But on the contrary, I've read about 15 pages since the day I borrowed the book from the library anddddddddd it's due tomorrow. Lol this is NOT due to my lack of interest in the language, hell no. It's actually more so because of my lazy ol' self waking up at nearly 11 every morning. And just fyi, I try and sleep before 12 every night. So that's a whopping 11 hours++ of hibernation every night. Damn I'm such a bum.

Anyways, some of my good friends have already enlisted into the army and it's going to get pretty boring around here without them. I gotta go make myself useful right now. So, later peeps.
Cheers!

and 2009's coming to an end already

2009-12-30T16:42:00.004+08:00

Ok first things first, I apologise for the extended hiatus in my blogging. Soooo...what else is new besides my blogskin? Quite a lot of things actually. I was away in India from the 29th November to the 21st December. So I've been in Singapore for the last 9 days. And let me tell you time has been passing so damn quickly, it's 5 in the evening before the realisation even hits me. But then again I don't exactly have a reason to worry anymore now that exams are over and I'm enlisting so late next year :D

Buuuuuuut still there is the inevitable guilt that itches at the back of your mind and screams at me occasionally to do something productive with my oh-so-boring-life.

& THAT IS WHY I PICKED UP GUITAR WUHOO! *deafening cheers erupt in the background*
Hahaha yes i kid you not people. This musically handicapped (maybe not so much since I did learn the recorder 6 years ago, so yes Abd it does count for something lol) boy has finally decided to follow in the footsteps of John Mayer. So I have officially started learning to play the guitar and I have 1 week's experience!!

*thinks for a bit*

Ok I will/should/must not bring up the level of experience I possess when in a conversation with someone else for obvious reasons. For now at least. Oh but most importantly the story of how I got the guitar. My Sis asked my parents to get it for me on my birthday. Coolest thing anyone has ever done for me in my opinion. And no hyperbole there mind you. Heh so in all, my birthday was no lesser than awesome this year. Hence, that is the story of how I picked up the guitar. Thanks to Keson for teaching me the basic skills yo!

Haha moving on now, I have also picked up the habit of reading novels during the period of time that I was in India. And the novel(s) happen to be Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga. I'm currently reading the 3rd book the series, "Eclipse". As for the first 2 novels, I watched the first movie and read the second hehe. But my reading of novels been put on a hold for now because I've found other sources of entertainment like HIMYM wuhoo, other various movies, gaming with friends and messing up my room (which I must say looks/has been looking hideous for the past week sheesh).

Oh and what else is new with me? BRACES. Yea I know this one's going to be a little hard for you to digest eh. Heh well get used to it! Can't wait to remove it though, it's depriving me of my delicious Western and Indian cuisine :( Won't be long before I start eating like I used to again.

Alright I'm starting to run out of juice again, so I'll just wrap things up. 2009 has been a really great year. Though I can't remember the itsy bitsy details right now, I'm sure you all know what I mean. A year of building and strengthening friendships, not so much of adventures as mishaps heh, but hey we all still made it through in one piece yes. So give thanks to the mighty one up there. And let's hope luck and God are still on our side so that we can get through 6th Jan :D

Like Marc said, some of you should consider a trip to visit the Pope and I'll go camp in a temple till the 6th. Well whatever happens will probably happen for the best and there isn't anything we can do about it now eh? So don't bother feeling bad or nervous about that day because all there's left to do is to hope for the best and encourage the rest of our friends right! Cheer up guys!

Cliched as it may be, a whole new world waits for us out there. Ok I'll give you guys a philosophy talk some other day, I've got to run an errand right now.
CHEERS!

paranormal prom activities

2009-11-25T01:55:00.004+08:00

no don't worry, prom was neither a disaster nor was paranormal activities as good a horror movie as i expected it to be. pfft i got cheated of my money! :( should have listened to my friends and went for another movie instead.

first proper horror film in life (in a theatre even, and not through other sources! erhem.) anyways it was quite a sucky film overall. so many loopholes and goofs that can be spoofed into another movie. haha so the demon had 2 master yoda-like small cute feet, and had a childhood crush on the female actress since she was 8 years old. besides that nothing else was scary in my opinion. hahaha okay lah there were a few spooky scenes i admit. but it was only a spur of the moment thing and the rest of the movie felt really bland and boring. a really predictable movie especially if one had watched the trailer beforehand (like me heh) SO DON'T WATCH IT CUZ IT SUCKS SO BAD. and if ANY of your friends say it was a freakily scary movie and discourage you from watching it, slap them.

okay no i'm kidding. seriously.

AS FOR PROM TODAY. well it was a blast of course haha :)
so many pretty faces! and some not so much. hahaha no i'm kidding once again. everyone looked really good, and aside from some of my friends mocking me for a waiter i really enjoyed myself tonight. the food was good, not many complaints. though there could have been a few more courses. i felt a little disappointed that there was limited food. pfft had an unusually large appetite tonight of all nights. but hey, got to be content with what we have right. ;D

hmm other highlights of the night would be abdhullah, marc and me wearing the same vest. lol looked quite cool admittedly. people found out we shopped at the same place. psychic? no. it was just bluddy obvious. hahaha. then there was the inevitable camwhoring session that comes with every prom night i suppose. haha i mean if you've got it you flaunt it, and get it on film while you're at it eh! too bad i couldn't get photos with a few people though, some close friends especially. oh well, you don't need prom photos a few years down the road to prove that you were friends way back in high school heh. BUT STILL...
hahaha

now i'm contemplating whether i should have gone for the post prom party or just hung out a while more with a few friends. hmm too late for regrets. haha it's not everyday that i get to stay out this late with a legitimate reason.

anyways, took the last train home at around 1150. i was quite amazed at the number of people still riding the mrt at that hour. okay i need to get my brain working with a crank if i need to spew out any more words on this post. haha realllllly exhausted. maybe i'll upload a few prom photos next time i post or something :D

nights!
(go sleep la gareth haha)

i can wait. i can wait. i can wait. i cant wait.

2009-11-12T12:45:00.007+08:00

chemistry. check.

mathematics. check.

economics. check.

english. check.

physeeeeeeeecs...

5 more days to the end of it all.

truth be told, call me crazy but i really enjoyed studying for english. and maybe the other subjects too? heh it's always only too late when you start seeing the fun in certain things.

well, looks like it's all uphill from now then. thank god for everything so far. hasn't been too many mishaps besides econs p1 and p2 :( which is quite a big portion of econs admittedly.

bleahhh feeling very drained right now. maybe i'll come back and blog later. or not.

congrats to all those who finished IB yo! haha hope you had a good run with the papers, KICK BACK AND RELAX WUHOO.

k i dont know why im feeling so hyped up for you guys. i think it's just the suppressed little kid in me just thrashing about wildly waiting to be released from his..his..suppressed self!

haha ok now i'm just rambling rubbish.

FIVE MORE DAYS.

Prelims are over and done. Next up, the first certificate of my life after PSLE.

2009-10-10T13:37:00.001+08:00

Well, on the whole it does seem like I have done better than the Mid Years. But as with every other exam I’m not entirely satisfied with the marks of certain individual subjects. For instance, Math is at the top of this list. I definitely got too complacent and have myself to blame for it. I thought I could be done with practising math just one day before the papers and see where that got me.

Another one is Chemistry where I thought I really put in much more effort than the last time round. But this one’s a bummer too since my Paper 2 pulled me down by quite a significant bit and Paper 3 slightly. I still cannot believe I confused an elimination reaction with a substitution reaction. And also the fact that I forgot an aldehyde when reacted with a Grignard reagent produces an alcohol, having studied/read/glimpsed at it just a day earlier. I guess that reasons itself out eh.

And as for Economics, I think the real problem is that I do not read up enough and the lack of practice speaks for itself. So I did not expect any more than what I got anyway. So, I’ve got to count myself lucky this time round. Thank goodness for my Paper 3 which was my saving grace. Passed that on the dot. You do the math as to what happened to the rest of the papers.

Physics was reasonably well done if not for the fact that I screwed up my Paper 3 much more than Mid Years. That speaks a whole lot having considered that I previously screwed up my Mid Years too. That should give a vague idea of how I fared for this. But it really does not help that it was a strict marker for P3 in both exams. Well I really should not complain given the amount of studying that I did for that paper. Only pragmatic thing to do right now, buck up like crazy.

the end where it begins

2009-09-24T17:36:00.002+08:00

well, it's officially the end of prelims. for some of us :)
somehow i don't get the feeling of having accomplished anything after prelims, despite knowing that i gave my best. somewhat? heh, guess it's just the bad finish: econs and phy paper 3. shan't bother ranting about them. i'm just glad it's over for now. before the real deal begins again pretty damn soon in less than 50 odd days if i'm not wrong. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i feel uber bleak right now! i need to get out and do something.

but first i need exercise. i swear i've put on at least 2 kg over the course of the exams having not done any form of physical activity. eat, study, sleep. and the cycle repeats. SPEAKING OF CYCLE I NEED TO FINISH READING SIDDHARTHA (and maybe paddy clarke) AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE THE EXAMS OMG. i am such a failure. but somehow i've been able to crap out essays for the past paper 2s on it. but of course no one said anything about scoring fantastically. i suppose the only takeaway from these prelims is that i know i need to buck up much MUCH more before being able to sit for ib :( as seen from today's phy paper 3. bah i was too busy trying to understand econs throughout yst to bother about physics. so it doesn't come as a total surprise eh. math was reasonably doable this time round. but with many funny questions which were aggravating in the last 5 minutes of the paper. kangaroos and what-nots. roar!

chemistry was...iffy to say the least. i really don't know how i've fared this time. but surely better than the mid years. jeez mid years just roasted me alive. at least it's heartening to know that i'm doing something about it. PAPER 3 PHYSICSSSSS. then again i really don't think it's fair to have to do 2 subject papers on 1 day alone. i mean, they're on entirely different wavelengths people! cut us some slack will ya? ah wells then again there are those who can still ace these stuff given the same conditions anyway so i shouldn't really complain. i was just under-prepared. as always. i'm gonna need divine intervention for econs throughout november cuz right about now, i have as much knowledge as a year 5 sitting through his/her first lesson of econs. and i have myself to blame for it :( gotta start reading upppp. on a side note, i've begun to feel somewhat pious of late. giving thanks for the good things that're happening to me feels good. just a random thought heh. bottomline, i feel good. *mcdonald song plays in background* haha rahhhhh i'm feeling REALLY bored right now. i'm really glad all that extra stuff like tok, ee and cas are all over. more or less. though my cas file is still quite overdue. I NEED ONE MORE SIGNATURE OMG.

i will get it. soon. VERY soon.
aside from all this,
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY CHARLOTTE! ;) haha
hope you had a really awesome day yesterday. hopefully with math too :)
all the best for your bio papers tomorrow!
AND THAT GOES FOR ALL YOU BIO PEOPLE TOO haha.
finish tmr well and it's the end of prelims for a well deserved short break for you guys. so push on that extra bit and get it over with yeah!

and im getting really bored now. gotta get my lazy bum off this comfy chair and go do something productive. hah i'll read a book. been wanting to do that for a looooong while now.
cheers!

September the 6th.

2009-09-06T15:23:00.004+08:00

No the title doesn't mean anything special. I just couldn't think of another title to name this post. Which in turn reflects my bored and dreary state of mind right now. and i just realised the date's already shown separately. ARGHH I have no idea why I switched from Physics SL to HL. Come to think of it, I don't even know why I took up Physics in the first place!! Should have just taken Art. Going back to the roots of Sec 1 and 2 heh. But doesn't look like my Art friends are having too much fun right now. Doing their IAs or something when the rest of us are busy studying for Prelims. Or supposed to be studying rather.

I haven't even touched on my Math! Better not to get too complacent after mid years. Cuz I have this gut feeling it was a fluke heh. And Chemistry. Ah wells, anw it's actually quite encouraging to know that there's still a week left to study and that there's so much more that can be done. As opposed to last time, "SHIT THERE'S ONLY A WEEK LEFT!" and hoping for that H1N1 holidays. Which never came sadly. ANW gotta go now.
Cheers.
P.S. I wanna watch a movie. NOW.

/edit. 9.57pm
after a few hours of sleep and procrastination and dinner, mainly procrastination.
I was surfing through the internet randomly and came across this website. go google MLIA when you're free.
It stands for My Life Is Average. I don't know why it's named as such but yea well some things in life don't always have an answer do they. ANW it's basically this website where random people post events that happen in their lives. Funny events.

Examples:

Today, at church, the Priest asked all the fathers to stand for Father's Day. I stood up to freak my mother out. It worked. MLIA.

AND my personal favourite
Today, my friend wanted me to listen to a CD she had burned. I tried it in the CD player in my car, but the car kept spitting it back out. It turns out the CD was all Miley Cyrus songs. My car knows good music. MLIA.

hahahaha that one's the bomb i swear. ahh back to more futile attempts at revision.
sigh, the cheap thrills of an IB student.
WHICH EEJIT CAME UP WITH ACIDS AND BASES AND EQULIBRIA?! dingbat. twit.
8 more days people. stay alive everyone. :)

breath of life

2009-08-31T22:05:00.004+08:00

It's been a while since i last blogged here. shall keep it short and bitter.
Prelims. 13 long days. let's see what i make of it.
i finally see the problem with Econs. I HAVEN'T BEEN READING UP. ohmygoodness, it's all about theories, theories and even more theories. there's nothing (much) that's concrete the way i see it. hopefully these 13 days are enough to shed some light onto all 5 subjects. and i haven't finished reading Siddhartha. or Paddy Clarke. ARGHHH what have i been doing?!

okay this post was supposed to make me feel better and somewhat reflect positively on life. but apparently it hasn't. and i doubt it will until the end of Prelims or something. SOOOO it's about time I started reading my lit texts and econs notes and everything else that looks to be in pristine condition on my desk.

looks like UK's out of the equation $$$. India/US it is.
"my last damn exam was a PSLE
PANIC" lol true that Marc.

Happy Teacher's Day in advance to all teachers out there! celebrations today were..interesting. lol Vietnamese dance and a council video tribute to the teachers. funny stuff indeed.
PRELIMS.
nights.

2009-04-11T11:27:00.001+08:00

hmm i don't quite get it anymore

:)

2009-03-19T15:44:00.005+08:00

haha just a little something to liven up this place!

1. Open this website : http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx
2. Take the Personality Quiz
3. Copy Paste the result to Facebook
4. Tag your friends including me
5. Do comment if you think this is true about me too.

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. (woah, even i didn't know that haha)

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve. (this hit the spot)

It's just 9 questions so don't be lazy ahha. And obviously I didn't follow the instructions up there, so you don't have to either. heh do it in the name of fun.
till next time peeps

i'm gonna miss this place..

2009-03-14T11:32:00.003+08:00

moved tooooooo,

www.journeytoremember.wordpress.com

haha might come back if i don't like it there.

why

2009-03-11T21:05:00.002+08:00

& frustration wells up as the term draws to a close.

the inside of my head goes haywire again, simply fantastic.

things are looking up

2009-03-09T19:23:00.005+08:00

yep, the title says most of it. haha i am happy =] :) =) whoooooooh
i don't know why exactly, but i just don't see the point in being downcast. Sooo....HERE I AM, HAPPY.
haha okay i might be a little high at the same time but who cares!

hmm, the day started with me being late to school (nothing new there, but late for Chapel?!) This must be an all time low for me. But once again, I humbly let public transport take the credit for getting me late to school. Again. Oh before I progress, about yesterday's happenings. Keson came over for a 'study session' which was initially planned to be at CCK Library. We walked around in there for a while but it was waaaaay too crowded, seriously. People should start chilling man, it's a Sunday evening for crying out loud. Go to a park or something haha. Ah wells.

So we headed over to my house and attempted to do some work. Got something done lah, if not nothing. :) "Always look on the bright side of life..."(I feel like such a hippie now, showing the peace sign and giving some retarded smile like Gautama ":l" haha) Then on the way back, Keson wanted to grab some 'Takoyaki' cuz he saw someone eating it at the MRT. loser. hahah but it was seriously awesome stuff lah, he bought me a box of Takoyakis as well. Haha thanks for the treat yo! And we bid our farewells only to meet up on msn again. haha but the rest is crap from here. I was stoning till about 11 something in front of my computer. What I was doing was so useless and unimportant that my brain even failed to register it. Probably chatting..hmm yea that must have been it haha.

Then I started on a bit of work (Physics practical) and guess what, I started dozing off while I was 10 minutes into schoolwork. So I asked Abdhullah to give me a wake up call at 12 (asked Keson at first but the arse said he was gonna crash soon) haha which he did eventually. And guess what! I DID wake up. haha shocking yes, I know. But what came after that shouldn't be too hard to figure out right. I fell right back onto my bed after pressing the red button on my phone ;) haha sorry abd. After which, I my body clock somehow made me wake at 4am. Woke up, saw my laptop on (with my MSN status still saying: 'napping for a while' lol) and dropped back for another 2 hours of sleep. That was one messed up night. roar. haha did no work and not even 5 whole hours of undisturbed sleep :( Tonight somehow seems a little packed as well, TOK.OP remains untouched. It'll get done. Eventually haha. Just like how my EE decided to increase its word count significantly enough for me to submit a decent first draft :) (The number of times that I clicked on the 'word count' was probably more than the number of words itself. Hey, I was desperate heh)

Today was quite easygoing I suppose, as opposed to my predicted hectic day with so much backlog work :( Not cool man. The weekend was just burnt, poof. Haha k i'll wrap it up, cuz I lost my track of thought after doing something else just now. Yeah anyway, things are indeed looking up :D Just in case I seem 'emo' or down in school, I'm usually not. Haha I'm probably deep in thought about stuff that might be bothering me/friends (usually it's me :P hahaha jk) at the back of my head and thinking of ways to clear them asap. So no worries there! C'mon guys seriously, let's make the best of what we have in our current lives and spread the love of smiles (I swear I'm turning into a hippy HAHA)

But if being a hippy meant having to settle on a nice sandy beach with your own van, hammock and a surfboard; damn I'm cool with being a hippy hahaha!

Take care everybody!

broke the bedrock of life, friendship.

2009-03-06T19:47:00.004+08:00

Yes I am, in modern societal terms, going to 'emo'. I, on the other hand prefer to think of it as reflecting and regretting. I have never ever had bad intentions for anyone in particular, friends especially. Even if I did, it would be a common enemy, someone who is actually hated by more than just me. Getting back to the point, Friends are people whom I have always wanted to be around with (more so than my own family at times), cared for, wanted the best for and I would never do such a thing as to betray them or hurt them even in the slightest.

& To think that I have actually done something along those lines lately, betrayal of a really good friend's trust to be specific, simply appalls me. But I swear to God I did not mean for any of this to happen. This period of being ignored by a friend, shunned and absolutely punished for my one misdeed which I never would have imagined to have repercussions of magnitudes this great. Sigh, I wish things were back to normal Rajesh. I am truly sorry for what I did. Glad we're at least talking now, better than nothing.

He's not the only one whom I pissed off. Keson's the other friend. (I really don't know if I even have the rights to call them as such) Sorry to have been such a pain in the ass to you guys in your times of hardship. Cheer up guys, wish there was something that I could do to lighten your burdens.

on a journey of self doubt,
sleep well friends.

p.s. i'd appreciate it if none of you tagged regarding this post. thanks

life in the happy lane :)

2009-02-24T03:45:00.008+08:00

haha yea i know, the title is in total contrast with my previous forlorn and emo(claimed by many to be but it's NOTTT hahaha ah wells) post right. but yep, i guess i got it all sorted out in my head and it feels good! haha so fret not people, i'm back to my usual self again. there's really so much to say, but i'll save it for a rainy day haha. GOT PHYSICS TEST TO STUDY FOR.

haha so i'll just finish off with this,

life isn't worth sulking over. so keep smiling and share that smile with others yeah!

to all those doing ib and a levels, strive on guys and never crack under the pressure :D

(thanks to all my friends for making their effort to cheer me up haha, looks like it worked)

credits to: keson, rajesh, alan, shafiq, BUFF ONE(deluded boy HAHA), charlotte, karlo the freaking stalker hahah :)

don't bother, really.

2009-02-18T15:49:00.008+08:00

i hate it when things are in a mess. like the inside of my head right now.

someone stop this roller-coaster ride before i puke. please.

there's seriously so much going on. and such little time to make sense of it all. argh

looking back to see how i came through whatever's been thrown at me all these years, surely i can overcome this WHATEVER'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW thing too. i hope. haha i've never been the kind that shared my problems with someone else to lighten my own burden unless it's something that really really bothers me and pushes me to the extent of hmm...crying? (which i haven't done in god knows how long and it's not exactly something that i'm proud of cuz i'm a guy or something along those lines) i don't see what's wrong with crying. sometimes it's good to cry. don't ask me why, but this is the general idea that i have about crying. haha i feel like paddy right now, trying to make sense of how the world works around me. but failing. so bad. hahah

i can't believe how i stray off topic even within the span of a paragraph. back to where i was, i've always had this notion that by talking to others about my concerns, i sort of inconvenience them as well by making them have to share the same feelings. but evidently this is not true from what i've seen in recent months. it's somewhat liberating. very liberating actually, to just spill all your thoughts to that person. it's like you have this fully filled pail inside your chest and you're just pouring it all out. and the fact that he/she is willing to listen to you. and it probably makes u feel better too, in the end that you have this feel good factor that a good friend is indeed willing to listen to you and that you can confide in them in your time of need. i think this is very...cool. (pardon me, my limited vocabulary has taught me to stick to simple stuff. haha i honestly couldn't pick a better word sorry) then again, i was never good at any of this. which is part of the reason why i'm able to conceal my emotions so well cuz i'm so numb to it all. sooooo, SKIP! moving on now,

hope. haha. how ironic that this blog's named as such. keson was talking to me about this the other day too. hope's just lying there. waiting to be taken. why can't it be as easy as that :S

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

okay that didn't exactly make things any better, but it did relieve me slightly. on top of all this, my shoulder is simply refusing to heal after resting it forrr....k maybe it hasn't been that long BUT i can't possibly have ruptured it that bad right. wah laooo. (so much for speak good english week haha oops)

life sucks. haha there, i said it. after stifling it within myself for some time now. i'm not emo-ing here, i'm just very very very lost and confused. and i don't think i need counselling (before someone suggests that) ty very much. haha why can't things be as simple as they used to be in kindergarten. where you just played with toys and friends and napped without a care in the world only to be woken up to be asked to eat maple syrup coated pancakes (sweet. miss those times. anw it was only on thursdays i think haha) where you took things at no more than their face value, and absolutely nothing more. life would be so much simpler then. but apparently that's not the way things work in this world eh. (it's better u get used to my digressing) roar.

had my econs test this morning, found it do-able. hope i can score well enough to make up for my practice essay which was well...put delicately not exactly encouraging. macroeconomics isn't that bad, just need to get the general idea of it all and well the rest is probably common sense. haha but then again different people are bound to have differing ideas about this. i really want that 7 for hl econssssss. still wondering what on earth to do in uni. actually, i'm still wondering what to do after the end of this year. argh the future's a blur. but i do wanna go to uk though. big ambitions/fat hope? heh we'll find out soon enough. australia sounds like a plan too. there's still time for it all anyways. 8 months++

physics. better than last year. as can be seen from my lack of ranting on it. so nothing much there, besides the kiddy design practicals that need to be done. i'm running out of things to say, cuz my mind as i said is a mess right now. speaking of running, rajesh said he might pull out of Xcountry and he picked me as the replacement. nice one lah. i don't wanna runnnnn. haha 4.8km. no joke man. i'll just see how things go. hope he heals by then or something, then i won't have to train hah.

math test - wk 9

chem&phy test - next wk

unnecessary things that my mind wanders off to - every single day

i need to pull myself together. i've done this before, and i can do it again.

sorry guys, if u feel like you wasted your time reading this. (you probably did anyway)

all the best for your upcoming tests this week yeah!

cheers to another incoherent(very) and surprisingly long post on a day that i'm supposed to be mugging. screw you life.

it's like searching for something that's never there

2009-02-13T17:52:00.007+08:00

You Make It Real - James Morrison

Mmmmm
There's so much craziness, surrounding me
There's so much going on, it gets hard to breathe
When all my faith has gone, you bring it back to me
You make it real for me

When I'm not sure of, my priorities
When I've lost sight of, where I'm meant to be
Like holy water, washing over me
You make it real for me

And I'm running to you baby
You are the only one who saved me
That's why I've been missing you lately
'Cause you make it real for me

When my head is strong, but my heart is weak
I'm full of arrogance, and uncertainty
But I can find the words, you teach my heart to speak
You make it real for meee, yeaaa

And I'm running to you baby
'Cause you are the only one who saved me
That's whyyy I've been missing you lately
'Cause you make it real for me

Ohhh
Everybody's talking in words
I don't understand
You've got to be the only one
Who knows just who I am
Your shinin' in the distance
I hope I can make it through
'Cause the only place
That I want to be
Is right back home with you

I guess there's so much more
I have to learn
But if you're here with me
I know which way to turn
You always give me somewhere,
Somewhere I can learn
You make it real for me

And I'm running to you baby
'Cause you are the only one who saved me
That's why I've been missing you lately
'Cause you make it real for me

You make it real for me

Now there's a lovable song right up there. I've never come across another set of lyrics that makes more sense than this, guess it's just the time of the year kinda thing where your mood gets affected by random nonsense like this heh. Anyways, hope tomorrow's as magical as they say for every one of you out there yeah! haha have a good one guys :)

.Happy Valentine's Day.

that wasn't too bad

2009-02-03T18:38:00.005+08:00

anw, there're 2 things that i shouldn't be doing right now.
firstly, THIS. blogging haha and secondly, reading paddy clarke for a bit of destressing in the evening after getting back from school :) (gotta admit, paddy clarke's quite an funny novel for having been written back in those days, albeit a perverted one too haha. good one doyle!)

trigo and differentiation in math test..can handle it. i think? trigo's gonna be a bitch. i suck at that. arghhh. chem ia, gonna burn the midnight oil tonight, but how to study for test like that! roar.

on another note, frisbee during pe today was damn fun whoooh! (though it was just a few people)
anyway, i REALLY should be going now
(so much for short lol)
i'll keep my promise next time, or try to at least.

Priorities

BESIDES THAT, i thought my really nice neighbours deserved a mention in this post.

Happy Chinese New Year my Chinese friends! :)

hope you have a really great time visiting your relatives' or family friends' houses and eating really good food yea!

ciao everybody.

2009-01-19T00:02:00.003+08:00

sitting here listening to "Boston"(which is an awesome song btw) at 12 midnight with a whole new outlook on life, simply fantastic. im just happy to be me :)
cheers everyone.

sick

2009-01-09T10:52:00.007+08:00

sorry bout the morbid beginning to this year with this post, but i really couldn't help it. first things first,

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE :) hope this is the year that brings a blast to every one of us. (in a good way of course) hopefully those in year 6 currently, mature enough to see what we want in the long run and look past the moment.

hmm, getting to the point, there were 2 months of nearly uninterrupted hols before this. and nothing happens. a one day holiday is offered mercifully thanks to the year 7s' extraordinary ib results (congrats guys! and thanks for pushing up the bar higher sheesh), and my body decides to be a bitch to me.

fever, cough, headache BLEAH. hasn't been this bad since...i had chicken pox? which was 2 freaking years ago. things like these kinda remind us once in a while that we're not always in control of our health :( oh wells, back to sleep. wish tomorrow brings a better day.
good night guys.

when's this feeling of alienation gonna disappear.

Change has arrived.

2008-12-23T15:25:00.007+08:00

Haha evidently, the decor around this place has been changed. And I hope the change is good, cuz I was getting tired of the old look. Omg, changing blogskin is uber pissing and tiresome la wth. I don't know how others do it. It's as good as a undergoing a project which requires loads of patience. Trust me, I'm not gonna be doing this again in a while. (If you see a different design anytime soon, I must have gotten someone to do it for me. For free! :D) Anyway, if you happen to be reading this and caught sight of the new look, feel free to comment about it. And please be discrete. TY. I know, you can Rate it on a scale of 1-5 while you're at it.

It's the 23rd of December today and not many more days to school left. This feeling sucks. I both want to and don't want to go to school. :S Want to cuz of friends, don't want to cuz of homework. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.

Went to watch Bolt today with Yao and Dono. I won't give it 2 thumbs up, maybe 1 and a half. 7/10? And I haven't really watched a movie in quite some time now, so I was really hoping it'd be something more than just..that. But, the upsides of the show were...uhm, bolt when it was a puppy. Wah damn cute lah. hahaha and when it grew up (5 years later according to the movie), obviously it's head grew too. But maybe a bit too much. To disproportional sizes. Still watchable..and then there was this hamster which resembled fats with limbs and a head. Funny characters all of 'em. Not a bad movie on the whole.

No, I'm not gonna spoil the story for anyone out there who wants to watch the show. I suggest you watch it if you think the rest of the movies aren't gonna provide you with any genuine laughs. Then again, I'm not a movie critic so don't take my word for it :)
I'm gonna bum around the rest of the day trying to find something useful to do, which does not involve EE.

I started watching GossipGirl not too long ago, gave in to tempation cuz of a CERTAIN SOMEONE!!! haha the first episode didn't say much, but after watching more episodes I gotta admit; Blair Waldorf is like woah beautiful. The links to the shows are dam pissing lah. No offense, but english is a more friendly language than chinese when it comes to english tv show links right!! sheesh.

Thinking of going to sch tmr morning to go look at the EEs. That of course depends on what time my body chooses to wake up. :(

haha anw sorry bout the total randomness of this, I came across this and thought it was quite a funny and tragic situation at the same time.

"The worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades and if your teammates are really bad guessers"

lol. gg for that dude.
cheers all!

Snowww :(

2008-12-19T00:43:00.002+08:00

Yea I know it's not really possible to get snowy weather outside in Singapore but it'll be damn cool if it did la! Christmas' around the corner (6 more days) and the anticipation for a weather that suits the occasion is always present.

I used to be a stereotypical little kid when I was younger, gullible and..well small. hahah. And whenever Christmas came, I waited for the slightest hint of chilly weather. Even rain made me happy. hahaha don't ask me why but it was just damn nice when it rained. ESP IN THE NIGHT. woah awesome stuff. I must have been watching too many cartoons when Christmas was nearing..and hence the anticipation for snow. Hmm...speaking of cartoons, honestly nothing beats Disney's Christmas time cartoons. Freaking awesome. Has a tinge of heartwarming sentiment and a happy ending to wrap it up. Ahh...k to those i know in ACSi, here's a moodbreaker. tokEE. #$%@$@#$@$

ARGHHH. EE is sucking what little life there's left in me. And here I am thinking of when to watch a movie next. Damn i'm screwed. hahaha. One thing i need to change in the new year, this stinking slacker attitude. :( Gareth Lee was telling me how resolutions hardly work...but I don't really think so eh. If you really put your mind to it, you might actually pull it off over the 365 days. But then again it's easier said than done. hahah ah wells let's see what the new year brings and how it manipulates us. Oh on the topic of Christmas, my VLC player's icon turned into SANTA CLAUS. haha nice.

BTW. I just played WordChallenge on facebook and got an alltime high score of 23137. WOOO. hahahaha. Dunno where all the oomph came from but it felt good to almost double the previous score :D Stupid thing got me high for the night. lol. I think I'll end for the night. Nothing more to say and hence nothing more to write. haha i'll fall asleep listening to my mp3. Nothing beats the blissful music being listened to at night lying in bed staring at the ceiling where everything's quiet...WOAH awesome feeling. Lullaby's a cool song to sleep tp :) Anw another day burnt. TOK's finally 100% complete. Alright wuhoo! Attempted to have a go at EE but failed. I'm blanked out for EE. Need data, and a good mood to sit down and type it all :( World lit clawing at me from the back of my head. arghhh. Hedda and Ms. Julie. 6 more days to Christmas! 12 more days to start of 2009! omg this year seriously zipped by. Barely feels like it even started :S

I know people said time sure flies when you're having fun. But doesn't feel like much fun to me...haha oh wells. Wake up at 9 tmr, I must. haha. Today was productive, wuhoo. Nights y'all!

Just in case I don't blog in a while again,

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

in advance EVERYONE! hope you had a blast these hols yeah :D

so many things to do. so much time. SOO unwilling.

2008-11-13T22:29:00.006+08:00

hey people, here i am once again after quite a long break i must say. i've been occupied with other unimportant stuff such as..err..studying for retests and playing computer games. hmm let's begin with..the IB Tamil Exam 2008 which was taken on the 4th November (wow, seems such a long time ago already). It went fine i'd say, with lousy time management on my part for one section. I spent too much time pondering over 1 silly question that I lost track of time. Ending up with about 15 minutes once again on my last passage, which was a free response question worth about 10marks if i'm not wrong. The other occasion that i had such little time for the last passage was during final years. Argh, why do I keep doing this. Tsk. Ah wells, it's all over for now. That's good enough for me.

So, with a lot of luck i can get that much awaited 7 for Tamil. So I am officially relieved of having to study that language for the rest of my life. Hmm..coming to think of it, I technically spent 16 years(give or take a few months) learning tamil, just to get a 7 in this IB exam. Seems quite pathetic to me. I mean..all this build up just for this?! Well, of course i have to see the big picture. The bigger 45points. So, all that's left to get now are 38points. Doesn't seem too hard. Just needs a bit of effort. A bit. Gotta change my slacker ways and start giving in to convention and become an IB mugger :) Let's hope I can pull this off over these hols and next year. Bah, enough of that chat.

Moving on, there were the retests for Chem and Econs. They were very very doable compared to the actual Final Years. Dunno if the reason is because i studied or because the paper was naturally easy. Hope it's more of the former. Of course I had a bit of help from people prior to the retests. Tips and hints that proved invaluable:) ANYWAYS, that's quite a big jump from 4th November to just a few days ago. Hmm..lemme try recalling what happened in the middle.
OH YEAH, Marc invited us over to his house. No wait, mansion. Ermm, mini-5star hotel. Yeah that's more appropriate. So basically it was big lah. Enough said i think. haha. Oh and out of a few awesome movies such as LOTR, Spiderman, Transformers and then there was the Zohan (I think you can see the odd one out). It was narrowed down to Zohan. Since I hadn't watched more than 15minutes of that movie previously, I thought it might prove to be nicer than the harsh reviews written about it. Hey, what can I say; the reviews WERE right. Most of them at least. It wasn't too bad i guess, with a few stupid and hence funny scenes here and there.

Hmm, anyway I had to leave early and I followed Keson and Ariel out to Cold Storage where the class was meeting up to get ready to go to Charlotte's. haha i couldn't make it to the party though :(. ah wells, outing with the class some other day then. Ah, that sums up that significant occasion.

What else is there....
OH BIRTHDAYS.
In chronological order, haha Happy Birthday tooo,
Charmaine,
Ariel Tan and
Marc Lai.

LOL Ariel got a dozen eggs from Keson and I that day. awesome bday present lah. hahahaha wonder how he chucked it into his bag and went home...
k, more on recent happenings, I have EE and TOK to start on. I've got a couple of months ahead of me, and I really should start working on them but the slacker factor in me is raging on more than ever especially after the end of retests. ARGH. Must get back momentum.

/edit; 15th Nov 08 750pm
Hope 5.10 and 5.12 are enjoying their trip without having to complaing about gargantuan beetles the size of your palm (according to keson). sheesh. Weird stuff. haha
Went for Softball training again today after eons. And well. I screwed up a lotta times. Feel like crap. My fitness dropped to the pits, any lower and i'd be lazy to get off the seat right now. To top it off, I'm getting fatter. Thanks to all those burgers and junk food which I've been eating :( Need more exercise..haha. ah wells. Im tired and hungry, gonna have dinner. Guess what else, NUGGETS. shyte. BYE:)

Pointless chattering:)

Hmm..only my 20th post and i find the rate at which I blog to be an exponential curve similar to that of a 1st order reaction's graph where Concentration is plotted against Time. /gloats

Yeah anyway, it maybe a milestone and all but brace yourself for a bland post. Just in case you're wondering if i really remembered that curve by heart..chill. Haha I had my Chem notes book at arm's length and it's 1.30 in the damn morning and I had nothing better to do, so I looked it up.

DON'T BLAME ME. I'M NOT SLEEPY :S

I'm freaking hungry btw. Omg i need to stop staying up so late..not good for the system. Both com and me :) Haha anyway, was playing warcraft with a few ppl just now. That's what I've been doing for the past few days lately to kill time.

OH YEAH. How could I have forgotten the most important thing that happened over the past 2 days. Happy (belated? hahaha) Deepavali all! kk I'll elaborate that later on today. Like later tonight. The fatigue's getting to me...so is the hunger. Bah, shall repress the hunger till breakfast in about 8 hours. Chem Focus Camp tomorrow at 11. Pfft. Tired. Shall sleep now. Adios everyone! will blog more later..hopefully haha.

Work Work

2008-10-15T17:34:00.004+08:00

School's started once again, and the pressure's definitely mounting with teachers insinuating the overall performance of the students for the exams. It's Wednesday and the post-exam homework is piling up and doesn't seem to be decreasing. I've got to do an essay on Ms.Julie; the questions are in the email which my teacher sent out, but I haven't even bothered to open the email. Oh boy..it's gonna be another long night again, this time for something productive. Or I could end up catching up with some sleep early. Bah, I'll make up my mind later.

By the looks of it, I'm most probably going Focus Camp for Physics and Chemistry. I'm not keeping my hopes up for any of the subjects till Friday comes. Expect the worst, so whatever good comes by will be a bonus :D Anyway, Chem IA due by Friday and there's the English essay to submit by TOMORROW...and I've barely read 'Ms.Julie'. But quite an interesting story I must say, easier to read than Huck Finn which was just plain torment. Omg. That sucked. Haha pinkmonkeynotes came in quite handy i guess, quite a desperate attempt but hey it helped me get the gist of the story.

Hmm..quite random but yeah well, I just finished eating a burger and I feel damn crappy. Argh my junk food intake has tripled over the past few months lah and this is definitely not a good sign. I feel the cholestrol clogging up my arteries or whatever u call those vein-like thingies that circulate blood. Forgive me I don't take Bio (Maybe it could have made a better alternative to Physics IN THE LEAST :S) I'm just gonna wait for Friday.

SO. Backtracking a little, today was a total waste of time I think. Chem: Mdm was discussing how we should carry out the design prac on Friday and we took down the answers for MCQ. I honestly couldn't be bothered to try and remember the answers that I wrote down just in case I got a wee bit too many mistakes. I believe in Ignorance being Bliss:) Then...oh we tried to LAN in class but failed at first. Success came after much havoc. TOK was so so..and then afterwards I sat through the Chem class under Mdm.Usha. Was quite fun, with me playing Text Twirl in the back of the class with Yun Min, Ariel, Keson, Suraj and Tanaan. Charlotte joined in afterwards. Haha was really a good way to kill time. Keson's prowess at that blasted game shan't be challenged...haha. Yeah that basically sums up the whole of today till about now.
Oh and the stupid breathing problem that I've been having for a while now was caused by a tear in the abdominal muscle according to the doc when I went to him yesterday. Hmm..quite relieved now that I know what's causing it. Just that the healing process is quite long, 2 weeks to about 3 weeks. Gotta go see him again at the end of this week to check up again. Argh and I can't do any physical activity during this time. Damn this sucks. That strikes out PE tomorrow and softball on Saturday. NOO. Bluddy hell. Tsk, ah wells.

And thanks to all those who made me feel better when I was down, really helped :)
Gareth Lee & Nah, Keson, Charlotte, Shadiq, Shoban, Harsh and a few other important people too

I am really sorry for the outburst of profanity the other day. I'll try and make sure it doesn't happen again. Now, those of you who've read the entire post up till this very WORD must be thinking that I've got all the time in the world. Well, I DON'T! Which is why I'm gonna get to my work which is crying out to me right now.

damn i'm so screwed. cheers everyone:)

Bored. Sick.

2008-10-08T11:39:00.011+08:00

Yeah the big blue letters up there say it. I am freaking bored. Here i am sitting at home while my class is on the way to ECP or probably there already. Don't ask why, cuz that's just my life. Been in quite a bad mood this morning, and i resorted to watching Iron Man and Jeff Dunham(Credits go to Keson for passing it to me). They might have lifted my spirits marginally, but what really made me laugh was the following website: failblog.org. Haha awesome stuff there.
Here's a few that caught my eye

I think this one's quite smart actually..haha

Text reads:

I was watching inconvenient truth the other day and theres the bit where it shows the sea level rising really high and flooding most of the world. Well i live near the sea, and don’t want to drown, so i got to thinking. Maybe if we lower the sea level a bit, when the water level rises then it won’t rise high enough to flood.

Anyway, heres the plan. Everyone who can should take a bucket of sea water and pour it down the sink. If lots of people put the effort in, we could lower the sea level substantially and create a better world for our children to live

Ah wells, I'll go rot away in my boredom. Till later, cya

Rejuvenation

2008-10-05T08:58:00.003+08:00

It's 9.02am on an awesome Sunday morning and i feel GREAT. Went to sleep at about 12 something last night, had no idea what i was doing. Dozing off every now and then while doing math, then i finally decided to get some shut-eye. This must be one of the most disdainful weekends i've had to go through ever, cuz it's so damn LONG. argh. Anyway, backtracking a little to the exams. Well what's new? They sucked. No wait, that's old news. The only striking aspect as with all examinations i've had this year is once again, none other than physics. And the irony of it all was that i was SO confident about it. Paper 1 was quite morale-boosting i must say, it was like any other paper that i had. Seeing as how i despised that subject, it was quite encouraging to do a paper which i was comfortable with.

Then came Paper 2. It was a 2hour 15minute mental battle between the paper and me. Guess who won? No, you don't win anything even if you're right. There was so much tested on Optics and i was blanking out every few minutes. I studied Optics like a few days before the exams thoroughly, and i thought it would be easy. I knew every single question, I've seen them and done questions like those before the paper. But noo, i had to forget simple formulas for topics resolution and thermodynamics. Devastating lah. Bah. No point lamenting over it now, it's done. I just needta prepare better next time. Drop it and don't turn back Krupa.

As for the other Papers, they were so so. I'll write more about them once the results come out. Don't wanna get my hopes up too high. One more dreadful paper to go and it's...as much as I'd like to say FREEDOM! I can't. There's still EE, TOK, CAS to work on. Omg, I've been procrastinating my CAS file for as long as I can remember. soon. soooon. Let's see..i shall do a bit of math and then slack for the rest of the day. Yeah...that's about it for now i guess. Sorry bout the long break, been damn lazy as usual :) Haha, and now for breakfast. BYE.

Replies
woah this dates back quite a long while. haha
char: UPDATED! (properly) now it's your turn peanutbox! hahaha promise me you'll never drink coffee again :D
charlotte: OLO to you too charlotte! hahaha. thanks a lot! :)
gareth: haha thanks man! your words of wisdom actually helped :) you better own math too, for all the vector worksheets that i'm scanning over to you. basket. hahaha
qidahs: haha yeah chelsea better win, or i'm jumping club. NOT. haha thank you btw
nicole: I'm trying not to, but it's damn hard! haha no lah, it's just cuz of Physics, otherwise I'm fine thanks :) haha and yeah therelieshope indeed! thanks for the reminder!

paving my way to doom

2008-09-30T17:39:00.001+08:00

and i fail once again

Let's do this.

2008-09-02T22:32:00.004+08:00

PEOPLE OF THE WORLD! I. AM. LAZY!!!!
so please try to understand the situation when i don't update:) I'm probably bumming around and TRYING my best to mug. No seriously. I DO try. Gotta give me credit for that; haha. OR i'm probably lying under my warm, cozy and snug blankets trying to get some shut eye. It's the latter usually :P

ANYWAY,

~awkward silence~

dammit seriously, i've got nothing. ahaha i'm gonna have to think of something for THE SAKE OF BLOGGING. omg wth.

hmm...

k let's see. exams in 20 odd days. and here i am slacking. there're still those abbreviated assignments left to do which i am NOT GONNA BOTHER LISTING CUZ IT'S SO DAMN PISSING. IOP. EE. TOK presentation. %^&^#% bah whatever. at least the list is shortening...or is it just my imagination. no, i need a good night's sleep. the list IS shortening :)

I'm sorry people, i need some sleep now. haha i juz realised my past few posts ended with me being hungry. hahaha not my fault that i blog when i get hungry right. ok im gonna stop now. this has been my MOST incoherent post since probably blogging ever started. hmm anw events for the rest of the week: chem lecture tmr, free on thursday :), mugging on friday somewhere. haha and that burns up my supposed holiday. sigh..i really wish motivation was a real object. HAHA i'll go to the ends of the world to find it i swear! but first, i need some inspiration to find the motivation. but before that i need sleep. good night readers.

P.S. who on earth named themselves 'oi' and tagged? hahaha i couldnt stop laughing when i saw that. damn funny, thanks ah whoever that was :) made my day. BYEbye. sorry for such a screwed up post once again :(

yeah finally!

2008-08-14T17:50:00.002+08:00

ok i owe an apology to all those who've been coming here only to find the same old thing over and over again. i'm REALLY SORRY. i have been uber lazy and haven't had the mood to blog in like a damn long time. i still do actually...haha but yea i forced myself to blog. omg blogging's like a chore these days. it used to be so fluent the last time when i juz sat here and the thoughts flowed freely but now i have to FORCE myself to think of the most memorable stuff of late.

anw, came back home a little earlier than usual today cuz physics teacher wasn't there and i started text-twirling on facebook. (yeah i know wth) haha but it's just so damn fun and addictive sometimes. either way, now i have a new activity that will definitely help kill time. *argh..needta get off facebook and start mugging* but then again that's only my conscience talking at the back of my head, which i hardly listen to. but something tells me i should. for example: i started on my econs ia 3 freaking days ago and i have yet to finish it all because i'm too lazy to type another 20 odd words. i guess that's where my conscience kicks some sense into me. ah wells, it'll get done sooner or later. somehow.

hmm..7 more weeks to exams. or at least that's what marc told me. i hate counting down to exams. it's like the moment one major exam is over, someone starts numbering the days to the next one. damn pissing. nothing personal marc, haha i'm juz saying that's all. probably because i realise the sudden weight of it all when i actually come to think of the actual number of days remaining and how much work i have to do. so THAT'S where the truth hurts then...haha okok i will mug. SOON really soon. i hope. but no jokes this time round, i must do well or it's bb singapore and hello india or some other country i think. according to my dad that is...so no more fooling around. argh. dilemmas suck man, esp when there's so damn little that i can do about it.

anyways more on recent happenings. school's been really exhausting, physically and mentally. really taking a toll on me. bah! there was ACS I olympics and softball training yesterday. played badminton till my toes were burnt cuz i was playing barefoot. haha i was supposedly "representing my class" but in the end none of the points were like actually taken into account because the turnup for the event was really bad, so they couldn't really form teams according to classes. so what they did for dodgeball and handball was that random ppl formed groups and started playing. it was quite fun on the whole though. worth the time i guess. badminton was damn fun too, i played with 3 ppl and lost to 1 :D haha after which we were juz playing around randomly. been a really long time since i played badminton properly, so had a good time on the whole :) then went for training at abt 5 sth ended close to 7pm. tiring just the same. went home, showered, had dinner, TRIED doing homework and studying but failed epicly. i was seriously nodding off while writing. THAT TIRED! haha then went to slp at 10pm and wanted to wake up early today morning but obviously didn't la :S slept through till 6 to go to school.

well at least something good came out of it, i had a good night's rest. but i'm still damn tired!! sigh..cannot sleep early tonight cuz there's like shitloads of homework to be done and handed in like tmr itself. partly my fault also since i've been procrastinating as always :D i'll finish it..i must finish it. sheesh. today also played badminton during pe. one just can't get tired of that game la..haha damn fun really. oh i was watching the singles men badminton in the olympics the other day and they were simply OWNING. the match where indonesia and malaysia played was really awesome. they were both damn good. aside from badminton, the other games were also quite cool. basketball, volleyball, swimming..bla bla. almost everything actually. haha. and phelps is THE MAN la. omg 11 medals. haha that guy is wicked sick seriously.

aye..gotta go eat something. STARVING. haha be back later to reply tags. cya!

ok fine i'll blog.

2008-07-30T16:50:00.004+08:00

hmm..it's been a while hasn't it. haha been damn lazy, sorry bout that :S
and things aren't helping with all that hw. homework...homework. something that keeps ringing in my head but i never get done. mid year results..dont ask. bad. enough said.

i have no idea why im blogging right now..juz to put an end to the drought of posts i guess. haha anw, life's been pleasant with awesome classmates. despite me being able to have only a few lessons together with them :S i swear i can't have been placed in a better class.

5.7 SIMPLY rocks :D
HAHA. i had no idea my blog would involve all this, juz some random stuff that came to mind. so yea, spilled it out here. but i got the point across i think. oh wells. hopefully i get some work done today. more than yesterday at least, when i reached home and pigged all the way till 8sth. woke up only to have dinner and slack arnd till abt 2sth. worked on math port, finished and handed up alas. as i was saying, homework is like some perpetual madness la. NEVER ENDS. darned IAs. lousy essays. bah! most teachers think that their subject is the only one in the whole wide world and spam hw like nobody's business. as for the other group of teachers who apparently realise that there are teachers like the first case, they go easy on us. REALLY appreciate it :)

well, working every single hour of our life is IB life i guess. always on the run, never stopping to take a breather. even if we did, it's like once in a blue moon. and then back we go. anyways i needta go eat smth now, damn hungry. till later, cya!

P.S. my phone aint with me, so if anything pls email/IM me online. thanks

Contentment

2008-07-07T22:09:00.007+08:00

haha thanks a lot shadiq and luke :) yep im feeling much better now...i always do.

to shadiq: haha i'd rather let it be a yellow than do something more drastic in life and get a red! some things are meant to be released from the system one way or the other la. guess this was my outlet, haha sorry for any cause of concern and thanks dude.

to luke: haha. u aint getting those songs alrd, forget it! :P hahaha anw thanks to you too luke, that actually made me smile :)

thanks to keson too, who inquired my well being yst on msn. haha things will get better eventually dude, juz gotta keep at it

Well, here I am yet again looking for a resolution. Failing evidently, but i've learnt to live with what I have and as i said before; put up with it. Good or bad. Haha anw, on account of today's holiday, I had my share of fun with a few people :) And an inexplicably long bus ride thanks to a particular someone called G.Nah. Bluddy hell..I am never traveling with him next time unless I'm the one giving directions. So what I did today was:

Went to school at about 10 in the morning, was doing my TOK essay in the library. (Shocking, yeah i know. haha) Then along came Gareth...wanted to do some stuff on my laptop. (Don't ask me why I called him along with me, must have been someone using a vodoo doll to control me or sth) So by the time he was done, it was 12++. (We were spsd to meet Marc and Abdhullah at 12 at Bugis. Thanks a lot Gareth) Oh, Shoban came along to school to do his tamil hw and some other hw. hahaha. Yep from that laugh, u can tell what happened. He DIDN'T finish. lol. Told him to come along with us to Bugis Junction for lunch but he said he had elsewhere to go later on. So, left him to his ways. haha.

Then, Gareth and I left sch for Bugis. I was about to take the MRT and he wanted to take the bus. Since we were alrd so damn late and he said the bus is way faster. I believed him. Damn i made a huge mistake. We were going on for like dunno how long in the bus (196)...it took FOREVER to get to Bugis. Eventually guess what happened. We didn't get to Bugis. $#%^%^. We landed at some ulu Kallang place. Then we stopped off somewhere and went to the opp side and took a 33. Omg and it was raining like crazy...but kinda cool though. As in literally cooling..haha. What with gareth pissing me off and my head heating up, i needed the rain badly. Oh well, wasn't all that bad. I managed to talk some shit along the journey to keep myself from swearing at him. haha it actually worked.

Oh and i was starving all the way there la. BLUDDY HUNGRY. So i decided to take a break from talking to conserve some energy. Nah didn't work, ended up talking again. haha. Seriously famished la. Then we went to Food Junction at lvl 3 i think in search of the 2. OH and i accidentally hit this lady on the arm when she was drinking her coffee. Holy geez i was damn scared la..haha good thing nothing spilt. Apologized to her like it was the end of the world or sth. Stupid bag of mine. But it's the design of the place's fault too la. The walkways were so damn narrow u couldn't have fit in a baby elephant. K, bad analogy. Nvm, those who've been there will get the general idea. BOTTOMLINE: The place was crowded and there wasn't much room to walk abt freely.

Finally spotted Marc, Abd and Ernest who were walking arnd the place looking for stuff to buy. haha anw, we were contemplating on where to get lunch first. We hopped from some posh restaurants, to Swensen's to McD's and finally to Ayam Penyet. Walked there from Junction. And when we entered the place, there were like only 2 tables of customers then for such a big place. Hmm..maybe wasn't such a good idea. Haha no la, the food was damn good. The chicken was nice and crispy, though i could have laid off the chilli a bit. It was super spicy. Ah wells, added to the overall flavour anw :) Oh and Marc forked out a bitta cash and treated us to drinks. Thanks fa___. hahah jk.

So lunch was filling. What next? They wanted to go watch 'Hancock'. haha too bad can't write a review on it, I had to leave early. But Abd said it was a nice movie on the whole, albeit having an abrupt ending. What's with Will Smith movies anw, last one I saw was 'I Am Legend' and that had an 'out of the blue' ending too. But yeah, it was a nice movie. haha oh wells, I'll juz watch a movie with them another day then.

MRT-ed back home. Dunno why, but was feeling damn tired. Still am. Came back home at abt 5 sth. Slept all the way till 730 thereabouts. Damn it felt good. But i'm feeling sleepier now cuz of sleeping just now. Weird but it does happen sometimes. Still behind on shitloads of hw. It'll be done....somehow. hahaha. Kk i promise i'll get something done before i sleep tonight. And that's a promise i will keep. Time now is 11.02pm. The night's still young:)
ciao all.
oh photos.

bingei. haha
how it came about,
Abd: (After he took the photo) "Wah, classic"
Me: (In reference to bingei,) "Yeah, nerd."

hahaha just kidding bingei, no actually im not la :P
and a few other photos i took at clarke when i was there the other day.
Elgin Bridge

adios.

2008-07-06T11:34:00.003+08:00

i thought home was a place of comfort and love. guess i thought wrong. and this wouldn't be the first time. heck i don't even care if i die, a slight shower of affection from all members of my 'family' won't hurt them will it. is that too much to ask for? if it is, i apologize for my being greedy then. the pain felt inside..actually hurts. usually i'm too numbed for all that since i'm used to it. but this time, i actually felt something somewhere in my chest.

my mind's too disorientated to form coherent sentences now. i'll stick to random words plucked out of my head and chuck them here.

hurt. pain. solution. searching. fruitless. time. a long while. years perhaps. impatient. too bad. gotta take it in my stride. sucks. too bad again.

and if u must know. yeah, i am emo. how i wish the song 'it ends tonight' actually happened. this feeling stinks. i really wanna be at that cliff..not for physics this time.

Semester 2...oh jeez

2008-07-04T23:02:00.006+08:00

Hmm...so i'm basically screwed for my exams. Physics, needless to say. My chem teachers are hearing rumours abt my physics grades la wth. That's how bad it is. Argh. And as for chem itself..looks like the majority of the cohort did badly for Paper 1. So i feel kinda safe, there is strength in numbers anw:) Bah, whatever la. I'm gonna have to face the music SOME day....so i'll worry on THAT day. Heck care till then, haha.

Damn I need to get serious abt physics...it's screwing up my life like crazy! The teacher'll probably call up my parents and tell them to MAKE SURE I DROP physics. I am soo dead. The last time i felt this way was when i was taking C.Science. And the end result was: I decided not to do it this year. Guess it benefitted me. Somewhat. And right now, C.Science seems like some saviour subject as compared to physics. Argh..dilemmas like these suck. Bigtime. Especially when you're on the losing end.

I wish i was at the tippy top of some cliff screaming my lungs out. Vent my anger at physics. Every. Single. Bit. Of. It. Seriously, Physics is the root of half of my problems in my life la. Pfft. No more ranting, sorry guys. Had to let out a bit of steam..

Anw..dinner today was awesome. KFC with family. Damn..im eating too many burgers la wth. 5 burgers in a span of 2 weeks. I know it's not that many but something in me says it's bad. Oh well..as long as i don't die of cholestrol i'm fine. Even if i do die, i'll die of diabetes. Who wants to live long these days? Living a long life only means having to deal with more problems and being a burden to others when u're old. I mean I don't consider anyone old to be a burden..it's just that...bah too lazy to explain. But i meant that in a nice way of course:) Anw, Super random thoughts. I know. Let's backtrack a little shall we...KFC...Physics..k nvm. MOVING ON.

.homework.
USUAL
AS
UP
PILING

Well..out of my umpteen assignments, one thing I can happily strike off is the IOP essay which was due last term. NOT because i finished it. Because, he doesn't wanna bother collecting it anymore. Yeah..i don't blame him. Getting homework from us is like squeezing water out of a rock la. Haha only occasionally though. Anyways, pending hw includes 5 tamil essays by next tuesday + workbook, TOK Essay 1st draft by next friday, all the rest of my physics IAs and random W/s asap. And i'm sure the list triples if i include all the stuff that i don't remember right now. Oh ya CAS file. Argh, must remember to finish that. Now that's worth doing. I mean, not as if the others aren't worth doing la..bah u get what i mean right. K i'll stop here for today. Headache's killing me from the inside.

Gd night everybody.
P.S. Wuhoo Monday's a holiday :)

One helluva long-ass break that was

2008-06-30T18:02:00.006+08:00

Well..that was a long break from blogging. So much to say and only so much that i can possibly remember :( my apologies beforehand. Hmm, where to begin with. Common Tests. What can i say. It was meant to kill us all one way or the other, so no point running and hiding. Let's review shall we;

English SL- So so. Didn't manage to write enough while keson was writing copious amounts of bs (Where on earth did u get it all from dude?!). haha 11 pages was it keson? Glad that was over.

Tamil B SL - Piece of cake. haha nah, not that easy. Better not be too complacent :)

Wednesday = Doomsday
Physics and Economics HL - What the freaking hell were they thinking setting both papers on the same damn day!?!? And to top it off, it was only Paper 1 for Econs that day. We had to go back to school for a 40 min Paper 2 the next day. Seriously. Wtpong. Bluddy waste of time. And Physics...dear old physics. #%^#$^

Need i say more? Yeah, i do. Bleeping hell, it killed me la! Might as well have told me to walk on a bed of nails or sth. Would have been less painful and quicker. And a 1 hr break in between both paper 1 and 2...what for? Allow us to regain our mental strength just to go through another traumatising experience in the form of Paper 2?

Fine. It wasnt that bad, Paper 1 was kinda easy. Paper 2...fail. Enough ranting abt Physics, on to Economics. Another screwed up subject. Paper 1 was complicated. Didn't know what graphs to draw where and i don't think i wrote enough content either. So, ya. Screwed.

Econs Paper 2 was slightly more merciful on me I must admit. With the exception of part d where i wrote a small lil paragraph for formality's sake which was worth like 8 marks. Sigh. Well at least i didn't leave it blank right? Now that would have simply meant sweet sweet doom.

So that ended Thursday. On came Friday with a hopeful 7points for Math SL. Hmm..not too bad. Could have been a whole lot worse. Can possibly scrape a 6 la. There was absolutely no time at all to finish the paper la wth. 1hr 30mins. Might seem like much but nope. There was this 2m qn which i had to work on for abt 5whole mins. Then there was another 4m qn which i finished in like 2 mins. So..the question and marks allocation were messed up bigtime. Haha but im at fault too i guess, didn't prepare well for some topics. Oh well..don't think i was that careless this time round. Better than T2 test, which i flunked so badly I thought I was a goner for mid years.

Haha oh, pity some of the rest who were taking Math HL and Bio HL that day. Sad cases..haha. That was their share of doomsday :) Friday passed with me slacking off and snoozing peacefully for a nice long undisturbed 8 hours of blissful sleep. Felt awesome the next morning. On the downside of it, i lost the momentum to mug. My attention span was like what...10mins? Somehow got the mugging mood back and started again. Was quite productive, with me occasionally walking around my house aimlessly. What with all those chemical terms and crap running through my head, it can definitely make one hungry. Haha alrite, so i more or less slacked off on Saturday too. No denials. But for the record, i was planning to do some mugging in the night. Set my alarm at 2sth. I did wake up. To switch off my alarm and go back to sleep. :)

Next time i'm putting my handphone out of reach of the "switch off" button. Then my mum didn't wanna disturb me in the morning thinking that i was bz mugging in the night...woke up finally at abt 9! Shit..that was bad. Had so much more to cover in chem la. Ligands, resonance structures, drawing funny lewis shapes and so much other crap. Argh. Somehow finished it 'all' by 8sth in the evening. When i say 'all' i mean i forgot abt mass spectrometry and balancing half equations. 2 of my lousiest areas. I was probably thinking i'd get back to it later on. Hah, lovely procrastination. My forte :D Slept at 12 in hopes of waking up at 2. Who the hell was i kidding. Switched it off and went back for another short nap. Mum woke me up at? 6. Gg. Was rushing thru all those i didnt cover in like 15mins before i went off to shower. Not bad...managed to squeeze some more stuff into my alrd overcrowded head :S I knew for sure my mcq would be a screw up cuz i didn't look through anything much. But how much of a screw up I didn't know. Well lemme say this. It could have gotten a whole lot uglier.

Chemistry HL - The last wave.
Paper 1 as mentioned before was just plain screwed up. Don't wanna think abt it. Paper 2 was a whole lot easier though I left out abt 3 marks blank. How on earth was i supposed to know what half equations were? (Oh ya..i didn't study. Dammit) And there was just too much Gas law tested for anyone's liking. It was spammed in the papers like nobody's business la wth. Sigh..manageable.

And now here i am..blogging. I need a change in life. Where's the variety. Where's the spice. Bah, im gonna sleep or sth.
Cheers everyone:)

chem & econs day

2008-06-19T18:38:00.010+08:00

today. hmm...i thought it got off to bad start. dad woke me up at 6, had my milo and lied down on my bed for some shut eye. i couldn't open my eyes for god's sake. was damn tired. opened my eyes and looked at my hp. MOTHER OF GOD IT WAS 7.23am. and i was spsd to leave my house at 7.15. cursing myself at every opportunity there was. had my shower in like 5mins. a personal best timing :) then abdhullah msged me saying that it was cancelled. on the other hand tho, mrs. lydia contracted some eye infection...ouch. said he was on the way back from bt.batok. decided to meet up at cck mrt and go somewhere and mug. lazy marc was alrd in sch and didnt wanna leave...so ya. sch it was :(

back to sch and we...no, I tried mugging. the others succeeded and my efforts were futile. for the record i didn't have breakfast and was famished. so how was i to concentrate on the book with my stomach bz growling away? went to sac to grab a couple of oreo packets. not exactly substantial food but yea...adequate to keep me going for another hour or 2 before i got proper food. went back to class and tried my luck at econs. managed to successfully stare at a few words and observe them stare back at me. class was quite noisy anw, so wasn't really a conducive environment to mug. haha. was abt 10.30 by then, and we were getting quite restless. some of them moved over to the library. and the rest of us just headed home, momentarily. then in the end, we decided to go over to bingei's to do some revision. we changed our minds again...told him to come to je library, "too far!" woodlands library, "i'll take a while" or sth like that. haha lazybum was taking forever to get out of his house la.

abd and i were hanging arnd at causeway point for a while...got ourselves ice cream. i spilt quite a bit..argh. seriously, it was huge for a soft serve la. but nice and filling nonetheless :) finally edward arrived and he was behind us on the escalator when we called him. omg. blur bugger..haha. and we finally entered the library in search of a place to sit. it was only like 15mins since the library opened and it was damn crowded. almost nowhere to sit. finally found a few sofas that were unoccupied and 'koped' it before anyone else came..come to think of it, it was quite a 'kiasu' thing to do. oh wells. desperate times call for desperate measures. haha oh, saw jia hui on the 3rd floor i think, on the escalator ride up. mugging apparently. lol.

so mugging officially started at abt 11.50. and i must say, we actually made quite some progress. continued all the way up till 1.30 or so...went for lunch with jia hui joining us :) i went to kfc to get a shrooms burger meal; yes it's quite small but it's tasty! went with the others to the foodcourt upstairs. abd was complaining that was the most plain chicken rice he ever tasted...haha. see! shrooms burger tastes better:) anw finished lunch and walked back to the library. (i was hungry btw, fine. maybe the burger WAS small) this time we found a table for 4 in the cafe on the first floor. shifted there and started. not too bad this time round, we got some stuff cleared. oh and the 3 bio ppl were pissing off the 1 non bio student at the table! bluddy hell, it is NOT fun hearing bio talk across the table when u've got no idea whats going on. thats when my mp3 came in handy :D haha managed to do a bit of chem and econs in the end. very productive day indeed. left early at abt 5 for home, slacked a bit and back to mugging it was.

argh i needta pick up the pace. gd night everybody!

make others happy and be happy

2008-06-19T00:29:00.003+08:00

i've come to the conclusion that there's no point in juz sulking over sth and feeling sorry for urself. u don't achieve anything that way...just have to get over it and get on with life:) i mean come on..everyone has problems. is everyone emo 24/7? nope. find a way to solve it, or simply learn to live with it and on a more pleasant note; try putting a smile on others' faces everyday. feels awesome :)

okie dokie.
Summary of June 18th

woke up at 5.30am. (yes i know it's an unearthly hour) had to send off my mum and sis. cabbed to the airport, caught up with sleep every now and then on the ride there. heavenly :) told the cab driver it was jet airways. and he thought the only terminal with jet airways was T1. genius. T3 had jet airways too. took the skytrain to T3. damn, to think i've never been to that place...k i need to get out more. the skylights were damn cool...needta see the place at night. wonder what it looks like.

anw, was alrd running late for chem revision. it was freaking 7.40 at changi la..class at 8.00. pls la obviously i couldn't have made it on time right. so didn't really bother rushing :P got to class finally at abt 8.50. got some stuff in my head and went to sac for breakfast (2 packets of hello panda) shit i feel like im going on an unvoluntary diet lately. need more food. went to the library, ran into gareth the stalker. (didnt wanna confuse with any other gareths..so ya) apparently he was waiting for bingei to mug bio. lol he was looking thru soccer magazines when i got there. joined him for the time being and started reading thru chem...or tried to in the effort at least. and then after a while, along came karlo and arjun. started a bit of productive mugging by then. marc and abdhullah arrived soon after their bio revision. got damn hungry after a while. went to broadway, got mee goreng. worth it. oily though. haha oh wells...food was good though. walked back to sch..with marc and karlo whining all the way. fatsos! haha kidding la. started mugging in the library again. and this time it was better...i think. managed to get a few chem stuff into my head. oh clifford and jacqueline were in the library too...haha wanted me to join them in the stinky rooms of the library downstairs. nope, wasn't going to :) k la not so bad, joined them later on before leaving, room wasnt that stinky. oh i forgot the rain. it was raining like crazy. rained for quite some time. then finally gave up on mugging. decided to go home. took a lift on marc's car and went to clementi mrt. then...we felt like going to the gym. it was so damn nearby! can't blame us for digressing from mugging for abt half an hr.

too bad it closed at 4. had to go. went home...had cornflakes, mugged econs(shit i still haven't finished it!!) for a while. lost focus as usual and started slacking. damn this is bad...hmm it's 2am now. and there's chem class again at 8am. i am soo gonna fall asleep and get screwed.

anw firefox browser aint working..neither is safari. i hate IE. hmm shall cut this short cuz of some piggy's nagging. wonder who! haha that's all for tonight/ this morning. maybe i shud get some slp...or not :) nites everybody!

i will not cry.

2008-06-17T22:55:00.007+08:00

'being emo' seems to be an understatement as to how i've been feeling lately. damn..i don't even know what to say. as cliched as it may sound, i really hope things will get better soon. i want them to...

don't want anyone reading this to leave with a frown, so i'll share my happier moments.
starting from yst, went to slp early, only to end up sitting up on my bed abt 5 or 6 times. and i was thinking to myself.."krupa, get to sleep dammit!" somehow fell asleep at abt 4. woke at 9. dropped back into bed and woke up finally at 9.40 sth. today was quite productive i must say, did a bit of chem and tried to do math. failed. fine, not so productive. didn't have proper lunch....starved for dinner. mum came home late, dinner was at abt what..10.30?! almost died la. in the end, didn't have much appetite for dinner...got into a bad mood cuz of someone. nvm.

the weather outside was awesome, chilly winds, lightning, with a big moon encircled by clouds to top it off. juz thot i'd take a pic to remind me of this day.

mum and sis flying off to india tmr for a few days..have a safe trip guys :)
gotta wake up early to send em off and then off to chem revision.
i need my pillow and bed now. gd night.

Rewind <<

2008-06-10T22:26:00.003+08:00

OK i know i really shud sit and get down to mugging...considering the exams start on the 23rd this month but i just CAN'T! (and yes the caps and the exclamation mark were necessary) and as for the photos promised earlier...juz go get facebook or sth ppl. not exactly in the best of moods right now. anw as for the previous week, there was SMUN08 and a softball friendly.

SMUN08 is this Singapore Model United Nations conference. Was quite fun to be part of...and if u're reading this Harsh, it was not better than WoW. haha but a really nice experience nonetheless. As the delegates of Nigeria, I took the more reserved role and he took the "Nigeria'll lead the entire African Nations" role. Congrats on that best speaker dude. Our moderators were really nice as compared to the rest of the councils supposedly. Made new friends and basically enjoyed it. The nights were where the fun came in. Night 1 was spent just sleeping after the movie premiere of Narnia (Prince Caspian). A few of us went over to watch Indiana Jones somehow while the rest of them were stuck watching Narnia:P. Nothing much on that night. The rooms there were quite crappy tho..but sufficient for survival i guess. Anw, Night 2 was spent watching a movie and playing CS.

Night 3 was the best night. And by best i mean crazy. First there was this social night kinda thing...not really entertaining but killed time for a while. Then Arjun, Harsh and Way Ren wanted to hit Clarke. Didn't feel like going so juz stayed behind at the campus. Then i saw Joy (this guy with a bluddy cool personality) and tagged along with him and his friends to West Coast Mac at abt 11 sth. Got to know 'em all, really nice bunch of people. Cabbed back with them, had a shower, met back at the common room to watch ghost videos.(We were bored) The guys who went to Clarke were back by then. A couple of French guys joined us soon after. Got scared by some stupid video..unbelievable. So there were abt 15ppl in one room staring intently at a retarded video. Come to think of it...yea it was pretty darn stupid. haha but it was fun, i mean it was the last night and we had to do sth crazy. This was just the start of the crazy stuff. Everyone eventually got tired and decided to go sleep or just rest. But ended up walking around the place sooner or later.

Arjun, Harsh, Way Ren and I decided to just walk outside for a while and catch some cool night air. Met up with a few others who were gonna walk to Mac somewhere further down the road from where we were staying. Joined them and we walked..we walked..we walked, yup it was basically a really long walk. Was abt 2 or 3 in the morning. Must have been abt an hr or so that we walked for, got 'lost' somewhere along the way. Asked this security guard for directions, gave us directions for the nearest 7-eleven. Well better than nothing after walking for such a long-ass time at that hour isn't it? Walked for another half hr or thereabouts...and i had to use the restroom and i had to use it pronto! The 7-eleven guy said the toilet was somewhere behind the shop..and that place was dark. No way in hell was i gonna walk thru that place juz to use the toilet. PPL, 3AM in the morning. Dark alley...it's a big fat no. Anw got mango juice and cabbed back to the campus. Even the cab took a while to get back. We were like...woah we walked a lot. Oh and i missed out the most impt bit of the journey, Harsh and Vishnu were yelling countless, "Thank you Come again!" ALL THE WAY. And that's not a really pleasant thing to hear at that time...and not when u're taking an epic walk that's tiring. Got back to the campus and just talked thru the morning to abt 5 sth only to be sent back to the rooms by the wonderful rain. Freezing at 5 in the morning. Not fun. Finally departed for sleep. haha had to be at the LT at 9am...and there we were getting ready for bed at 5.30am. My eyes were burning after the entire night. Crashed Way ren's room and slept like a log. Was awakened at 8 sth by Harsh. Promised him i'll wake up in another 20mins. Not gonna happen :D Stayed asleep till 9. Nah wasn't all that tight of a schedule. Nice and relaxed :) I think i'll blog abt the mugging and the friendly some other time..Gd night everybody. Back to more mugging...hopefully

Window on the World 2008 - Siem Reap

2008-05-29T15:25:00.005+08:00

WoW was simply the bestest thing that could have happened to almost everyone in 5.7. Guys, you've got to agree with me here. As i said before, the trip where emotions ran sky high and boys turned into men...
Day 1 @ Cambodia
The flight there was pretty short, just bordering 2 hours or so. Took a while to get checked out of the airport. I have no idea what the guy behind the desk was doing staring at me and my passport abt a few times...it's me for god's sake! We reached there around midday, went straight for lunch. Wasn't too bad considering it was buffet..Went off to Prum Bayon Hotel right after lunch to wash up and unpack stuff. Headed off to Sunrise Orphanage straight afterwards, the children there were extremely receptive; waved at us and gave us hugs when we got there. Played just a little with them cuz we were all quite tired from the travelling. Left the orphanage at abt 6 for dinner. Dinner was...well kinda bad, food wasn't really that good. The 'Chinese tea was funny' as quoted by Jerrold :). The drinks were kinda cheap though, oddly priced as they were. One bottle of hot drinks was USD 5 and one can of Red Bull was USD 1. Hmm, which should i have picked..haha nah. Not gonna drink :) Back to the hotel. Tried to sleep early but didn't feel like it..can't rmbr what i ended up doing in the end. Oh well, had to get up early the next morning so i guess i can't have stayed up too late.

Days 2,3 and 4 @ Cambodia
Woke up at 6.50 in the morning after jabbing at the snooze button on my handphone a gazillion times..damn the curtains in the room were good. They blocked out all the sunlight..i still thought it was dark outside when i woke up until i opened them. Anw, breakfast was really good....compared to dinner. Sugar overdose from pouring maple syrup/ honey (dunno what it was, i juz rmbr it being sweet) onto already sweetened toast :) Work at the orphanage officially began. Clearing up debris, excavating tombstone sized...stones and uprooting trees with tools such as; hoes, spades, a chopper and our hands. A bulldozer and an electric chainsaw would done the work in a few minutes...but yeah i don't think that was feasible and "we would only have gotten 5 minutes of CAS" - Torsten. But well, it was good hard work and the feeling that you get when it's all over...priceless. Lunch was provided by the orphanage, kind of them to do so. Not really our type of food, but we really appreciate the thought. Same routine for the next 2 days. Hit the swimming pool in the afternoons, bluddy cooling under the merciless shine of the sun. I regret singing,
"Oh Mr. Sun, Mr. Golden Sun, Please shine down on me..."
a few days back. Not really a good idea. Couldn't wait to get back to the comfort of the hotel bed after a long hard day's work. Went to the night market on the 4th day, was quite nice. A little too touristy though, prices were decent. Bought a shirt that said, "Same Same" on the front, and "But Different" on the back. Only did i realise on the last day that it was freaking small. -_-' Should have opened the package on the night itself...oh wells. The fake Oakley shades were cool..haha nice and reflective. But Elliott was telling us not to wear those...when the sun shines, the shades block it but our pupils get bigger. But since the glasses don't block out UV, they juz make it all the more worse for our eyes. Seemed to make sense, but didn't really care. Promised i won't look in the direction of the sun juz to make sure he wouldn't get pissed:) Dinners on the 3rd and 4th day got better and better. It was Sam's bday on the 24th. Highlights of her birthday: the "DOLAA" guy pestering her for the money just when she was about to blow her candles out and were ready to sing. Good food too. A good night on the whole. Eugene's bday fell the next day. His candles were damn cool, it was "Happy Birthday" with string on them to light up. They had a nice aroma arnd the center too:) was abt to splash the remaining cake on his face but decided against it. Should have done it while i had the chance...since not many ppl wanted it, KP and I took the little remaining cake and put in the refrigerator in our room. We never ate it...hmm wonder what happened to it. Was dog tired that day..couldn't even stay awake on the bus. Was watching soccer with KP and Jerrold later on. Told them to wake me up after 5 mins...as we all know, we know what happens after 5 minutes of nap. You don't get up till 6 sth the next morning. Oh well, it was a good night's rest anw. Slept from abt 9/ 10pm to 6.30. Absolutely refreshing. Had to rest up for the walk in Angkor Wat.

Day 5 @ Cambodia
Same ol' breakfast at the hotel..i was getting sick of this. But it was still nice..esp the orange juice. Nice and cold unlike the one they served in Shanghai...freaking orange juice was hot. Set off for Angkor Wat, quite a short ride to get there. Entry fee was USD$ 20.00. Good thing it was all included in the package. Bought a hat at the side shops..the weather was damn hot. Bargained it to 2 for $2 from $4. I was getting used to this bargaining stuff. The relics there were seriously damn cool. To think they were actually hand built was just unimaginable. Oh and the trees were huge...i mean ginormous. They outsized the temples...and the temple itself was big. So you can imagine..We got to see the 'tomb raider' temple/ tree. Too bad it was blocked off. The scenery at the place was awesome. Good thing Mr. Pat Soo decided to call off the hill trekking cuz it was HOT. Finished the Angkor tour, quite wasted actually. We would rather have spent the morning with the children at the orphanage. So it was a hot morning followed by a lunch that was heavenly compared to the previous meals. Vegetable salad, Chicken sandwich and fruits. Tasty as hell. :) The afternoon was pretty much to ourselves...had a dip in the pool. Nothing to do at the pool but have "pathetic 10m races with each other" - Mr. Pat Soo. But what the heck, it was cooling and refreshing anyways. Dinner was at 6, so decided to have a short nap till 5. But just when we were gonna hit the sack, we were told that there was a performance at the orphanage. Had to go. It was worth it, but felt kinda stoned when they were performing though. Can't blame me, i was this close to falling off the bench...damn sleepy. Played with the kids till dinner time. Food was so so. Good enough for a sleepy head. Surprisingly, lost my sleep when i got to the hotel. Went to lan with Elliott, Karlo and Suraj next door:D Karlo slept halfway though..tired bugger. Pei Yi and Wen Hao joined us soon after. Finally got bored of Dota-ing and CS-ing, went to bed at abt 1. Couldn't really sleep, went over to Keson's for a bit of food, lol. If one needed food, that was the place! Finally felt sleepy and dozed off in there. Surprisingly, it was Karlo who came and nagged me off to my room. Darn u Karlo! haha.
Next stop, largest FRESHwater lake in SEA, or at least that's what we were told.

Day 6 @ Cambodia
Well today was the freshwater lake day. The bus ride there was a mini roller coaster ride, juz that we didn't go around in a 360 degree. It was bluddy fun! Took a boat ride from the river to the lake itself. The water was uber muddy..so much for freshwater. Just when i thought the water would get clearer as we neared the lake, it got muddier. When one of the boats started its propellers, the sight of the mud water being splashed was seriously quite unappetizing. My ideal imaginary thoughts of a picturesque and scenic lake were dashed. The lake was big though...that was the up side of it. :P The place we went to had a dog, a cat and a crocodile farm. Although the dog and the cat were spsd to be domestic pets and it was the crocodiles that were meant to be the main attraction, the dog and cat got more attention. The crocodiles were kinda boring. They were being reared to be eaten. Quite saddening to think of it that way...And there was a big ass bee that was chasing us arnd the place. Got away from there as quickly as possible..Then on the boat ride, there was this small girl of abt 9 or 10 who got onto our boat (which was moving) from another boat which was moving as well to sell drinks..james bond style. DAMN IT WAS COOL. It takes serious guts to do that kinda stunts. Then there was another boat which carried an adult and a 4 or 5 year old boy holding a snake..a big one. Makes me wonder what it would have been like if these kids actually got proper education...and to watch them grow up into a prominent individual in society. If only...

Anw, had lunch and went for a bit of shopping. Headed to the orphanage shortly after. And I was chased by 2 dogs..one mother and the other one the father of 5 puppies...I was carrying this baby called Mou, cutest & smartest kid there and i walked over to try and carry one of the puppies. Bad idea. Holy crap the dogs started chasing me like crazy..there was abt a 10cm gap between me and the frenzied dog. I swear i thought i was a goner for a moment there. sheesh. They stopped chasing after a short run. Woah..adrenaline rush. I'll add that to the list of dumb things i've done in my life..this one taking first priority. It was quite a calm day..till us guys played our prank on 2 of the girls, or just chloe to be exact. Omg her reaction to the prank was priceless. She was like a pinball bouncing between the two walls and finally ending up in the bathroom. hahaha it was hilarious! what a way to end the day...can't rmbr what i did after that..but i must have stayed up late for sure cuz we were allowed to sleep in the next day :) Thought of going swimming in the morning but the pool doesnt open till 9, so decided against it.

Day 7 @ Cambodia
Don't ask me why but I woke up at 6.30. Bluddy hell i forgot to turn off the alarm on my handphone. -_-'. So got up anw and showered and went for breakfast with Kang Ping. Only Mr. Pat Soo was there eating and we were soon joined by Randi. Finished breakfast and went up to pack everything. Did abt half the packing and left half undone to be finished after shopping at the "Big Market". Felt damn lazy so went to nap for a while, only to be woken up by Elliott's "Krupa wake the hell up la!" Never heard that type of a wake up before. Lol i honestly think Elliott was a motherly figure(i.e. naggy) to all whenever necessary. But Elliott i honestly think u were an awesome dude rooming opposite KP and I :) i think i'll stop for now, feel too lazy to keep going. more photos shall be put up later...like tmr :P

bad day

2008-05-20T21:59:00.002+08:00

i know i said i won't use this place to emo, but it's kinda inevitable. did bluddy badly for math test, super careless. damn pissed with myself. and things aren't exactly helping with the amount of hw that needs to be done over the hols or before that even. i can seriously write a mini ee on that. english test was somewhat encouraging i guess...the rest of the day went by a bit too quickly for me to even catch up on the impt stuff. chem just got harder with all those metal ligands and uber long eqns. well..a bitta practice always helps. juz gotta find the time for it. group 4 report finally done after deciding to finish it the night before and sleeping till 5 in the morning when i felt like taking a short 5 min nap at 1 in the morning. trust me..when u feel sleepy and feel like dozing off even for a few minutes at abt 12 or 1 in the morning, it is NOT a good idea. you'll probably end up waking up feeling all groggy and just plain darn lousy at 5 when u needta get ready for sch. now that i'm done whining, on to more whining.

HOMEWORK

TOK essay (<1.6k words)
IOP essay - hoping to finish by tonight
finish chem assessment papers
force myself to mug physics
tamil workbook + a few essays
english - hedda gabbler
Econs EE!! planning

doesn't seem like much but yea it'll take a while for me to strike off all those from my checklist...a very loong while indeed. oh well..it'll get done somehow:) anw packing for siam reap almost done. juz needta swallow the fact that my class is the only one going to that place all by our lonesome. dunno why..but i get the feeling it's gonna be pretty boring there. same climate as sg. i just hope it doesnt get any hotter there than it is here. the heat's killin' me. anw gotta try to make the most of our time there. interacting with kids at an orphanage..sounds gd enough for me.

the other bright sides of recent happenings: i don't take math hl and hence i don't have to do math portfolio which some nutcases did 80++ pages of equations. what on earth do u write in there ppl?? a friend of mine said, "what, they explain how they derived 1+1=2 for a few pages?" haha! congrats on ur achievemence guys:) sl math's port's coming too..term 3. yup, i can definitely wait. bah, gotta get back to english iop essay. no...finish reading the story first and THEN the essay. done for now

hmm..day 1 of my blog. the things i had to go thru to get a simple blog...woah. glad that's over. anw, class party yst wasn't exactly a party. more of a 'go there, chit chat, eat pizza and be happy' kinda thing. but thanks for the everything ppl. haha oh and the jelly-hearts were awesome :) cud have gobbled down god knows how many of them b4 i'd had enough. left early(abt 8) with suraj. waited at the bus stop for a shitty 40mins. dang, cud have stayed on longer to play cards or sth. went home, showered, ate a little and then dozed off after doing group IV report. i actually did work in the night..not bad. must have been the food that made me sleep well..haha. today was pretty much an 'i should do work but i dont feel like it' day. got over it quickly tho and tried to do some reading and needless to say....it failed. sigh..hope tmr's a more productive one. freaking hl 3 and sl 1 day. maths, i can stand. physics a no no. gotta store up on hello panda to munch on and stay awake :) oh well..back to work or some sleep. the latter more likely:)
