The Storm Approaches

Almost 2 weeks since my previous post. Don't expect a long one here. I realized out of sudden realization (ok, that sounds weird) that i didn't post pics of my birthday on here. I should be doing that soon.

Lots of things have been happening the past few weeks. I shall try and remember them for sake of pinning them down on this blog. Hmm...

Last Saturday Bryan had a chalet and alot of 4SA went. Had BBQ and a few of stayed over played cards and watched stupid movies and wrestled on 4 beds that we joined together in the living room area. Haha.

Been preparing alot for the upcoming English oral exams the past weeks. We had a mock exam today. I think i did quite well. Or at least i like to think that i did. Phy, Bio, Chem SPAs coming up next week. National day is next week. Prelims are in 2 weeks!!

Prelim orals start on Monday! Hope that goes as planned. Trying to rush prelim studying to finish most of the topics briefly in 2 weeks. Then concentrating again on them again after Prelims. I shall try and stop studying by 19 October! Hope i can!

I really can't wait for Friday the 13th in Nov. Chem paper 1 also known as the LAST PAPER. I really wonder how it would feel like at the moment they say "time's up. Put down your pens" haha. Imagine that!

Snap back to the present! Don't drift away! Still alot to study! GO GO GO!

The Clock is Ticking

25 Days left to Prelims. I think i really will not be going online anymore unless i really have to do notes or type stuff out. I think i'll only access facebook at the end of the week for less than an hour. Access the computer only on weekends and on Saturday nights.

I should try and finish the entire physics syllabus by this week. I'm gonna try. Try.

Check out the new NDP song for 2009. It's by Electrico. I think its a healthy change from the old "anthem" like songs. So tell me what you think yeah.

Wake Up The House Is On Fire

It's been bugging me for almost 2 weeks. I just thought posting it would make me feel better. I been feeling quite down lately. I'm doing pretty well hiding it. It's good for them they say. Not good for me. Well maybe cuz i don't have the guts to tell that person. Or maybe i'm just afraid of repercussions. I don't want it to happen again? Well i really am confused on what to do.

I need that quiet place in Cinderella Man at the top of that hill overlooking the city and just screaming my lungs out there and just letting it out.

I just feel like screaming really really loudly into the open air. But there doesn't seem to be a place to do this. I really feel like just letting it all out. It's like a mixture of anger and frustration and sometimes a "am i over reacting" feeling. I think the latter may be quite true. I really really need to talk to someone. Getting harder to concentrate on revision and i just need to get it out. I gotta tell that person...soon. Before it eats me up from inside. Which i think it's already attempting.

Don't worry i ain't turning emo. It's just one of those times...y'know only this been quite long already...sigh.

He Fell Asleep Again...I think

Ok i been doing History notes with Jerald. It's 11.56. His last msg on msn to me was at 11.16. He never said anything and now he's not replying. It happened on Friday because he fell asleep at the table. Now i'm thinking its happening again!

WAKE UP JERALD!

Ahh nvm. I'm off to bed anyway. He's gonna get it tomorrow.

You Gotta Hold On!

"As the sun beats down
On the halfway house
Has my conscience beating
The sound in my ear
The will to persevere
As I reach the break of the day

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapstakes & losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
You got to hold on
Hold on to yourself"

Yep. We are almost halfway there, gotta find the will to perservere and hold on! It's gonna be a tough road ahead!

Just finished the entire Trigonometry chapter in the ten year series. Did about 80% of the 32 questions. Feels good to have accomplished that. Over 2 days. Gonna concentrate on the weaker topics first. To maximize my output. Somehow, when you put things in your mind onto paper, or basically transferring them to another location, i.e. here. Speaking of which, today Matthew asked what i.e. meant and well we weren't too sure either. So i took the liberty of getting it looked up.

Apparently, they all come from latin terms.

• "e.g." Exexpli Gratia - for example
• "etc. Et cetera - and so forth
• "i.e." Id Est - that is
  

So there you go. I never knew they were latin. Haha. And as i was saying, i thought transferring plans from head to somewhere physcal helps play out the whole plan much easier. So here goes:

Stuff to do today:
1. Finish 4.2 Notes.
2. Revise Organic chem
3. Buy stationary and Chem TYS (paper by paper)

I think that's enough for one day. And if there's time, Kinematics - physics.

Well 33 days left. That leaves me with very little time. I hope i have the strength to pull through. I WILL! TAEBANG! Oh and speaking of which, i have 290 WON! I think that's 33cents singapore.

Sing Us The Song of the Century

"They're playing the song of the century
Of panic and promise and prosperity
Tell me a story into that goodnight
Sing us a song for me "

Ok so oral was pretty much screwed. Plastic surgery was the topic. Can you believe that? And i didn't mention MJ. Ahh screw it. It's over, must get over it. Went to blow of steam after oral with Solo, Clayton and Bing at LAN. Played DotA and L4D.

Past few days been quite hectic. Doing lots of maths in class and after school. Just realized a few days ago how close the Prelims is. Closer and closer...running out of time. Gotta mug already.
Already planned out study tables and checklists. Gave Solo a copy cuz he said he wanted one.

Watched the MJ Memorial the other day. Very sad ending. His daughter went up on stage and said something and cried.

So it's gonna be very very crazy the next few weeks. So lesser posts yeah? Lesser facebook, lesser everything.

Bye...for now.

Touch of the Tongue, Teeth to the Lips

Chinese Oral is tomorrow. They are out having sushi. It's youth day. I'm at home. Practicing Chinese. Yeah. Sounds about right. Freaking nervous now. Can't seem to get any work done. Wasted the entire weekend. Didn't do much. Managed to get a teeny weeny bit of revision done.
Can't wait for oral to end.

watch! the last part is the best (5:11) ---------------->

The 2ND MINI ALBUM!

SNSD released their 2nd mini album in less than 4 months after the 1st mini album release. That's fast. Really fast. Well it's a mini album after all. I got the album yesterday. And as expected i think they rushed the release of the album. SM entertainment should have taken their time with the next album than jumping the wagon just to monopolize on the Gee Syndrome.

Ok fine, i won't say the album is just ok. It's not that bad. I think Girlfriend is my favourite so far for the new album. The last song is...BLEAH. Got some guy singing...don't even know who.

Ok ok must talk about the new term. With the H1N1 precautions and all, they switched back to the classroom system. Originally we were in the homeroom system, where you got from one class to the other for different subjects. Right now we're stuck in the same room the whole day! It's like primary school all over again!

The school canteen also changed. ALOT. All the previous canteen vendors are out. Only the malay stall left. They have 2 noodle stalls now and a japanese stall. And sad to say, the japanese stall food isn't the best. I thought it was ok considering the price 2.30-2.90 which is way cheaper than outside, so can't complain. I heard the food portions are now smaller and everyone's going back to the malay stall! Cause its the same as before. :D

Been staying back in school till 7 doing homework, playing frisbee, getting distracted. I think we need to procrastinate less and make our work time more effiecient.

O level chinese oral is on the 7th. Can't wait to get it over and done with!

Ok 1st post for the week. Which leaves me with 2 more posts for this week. So BYE BYE

BOOHUGGY!

Murder City

"Desperate
But not hopeless,
Desperate
But not helpless"

School starts tomorrow. 4 more months to go to Os. 3 months to prelims. Haven't really been studying this June. Which is a big blow right now. Gotta start cramming, mugging, studying, they all mean the same thing. Need to blog less. Play less. Get distracted less. STOP PROCRASTINATING!

Needless to say but i think i'm really screwed if i don't start tomorrow. Yep. NO FACEBOOK! Less blogging! Play Left 4 Dead, Sims 3 only on Saturdays and Sundays AFTER I FINISH STUDYING! Gonna be very difficult. The holidays surely destroyed the studying momentum.
MSN only after 9? Yeah i shall try! Sleep earlier!

MUST START STUDYING! So don't expect daily posts. Maybe thrice a week? or twice a week. We shall see.

Anyways you gotta watch this. Awesome piano solo at the ending!

Under The Iridescent Sky

So Sentosa was not bad. Although it it was drizzling on and off. Played Frisbee and abit of American Football. Then went into the water for awhile. Did random stuff in the water...by then it was already 4+. So we showered, changed and went to play LAN at Park Lane for about 2hrs. Then had dinner at Long John Silver. Then went home. Wasn't the best Sentosa outing but it was ok.

Etude and the Genie MV came out!! Check it out! The leg moves are kinda weird but SNSD always Fighting!! Can't wait for the full album release!



Today went to school to clean up the classroom with Adam and Mervman. Then slacked alot and had lunch at KFC. Was mkaing a joke about how KFC didnt have "non fried" stuff. Cuz i was having a minor sore throat. Lol. So i had the salad thingy. But it had fried chicken in the end. so to hell with it. Then Bryan Wong called, asked if we wanted to watch a movie. Me and Merv wanted to watch a movie today anyways so we all went. Bart came later and he joined us too. So we headed down to Orchard to catch it.

Loved the movie. 21 Guns played like 4 times during the show! haha. Nice one. I'm not a follower of the Transformers cartoon show and stuff but the movie was good. Effects were stunning, the plot was hilarious and serious at the same time. The Twin Autobot guys were damn funny. And the Sector 7 agent guy from the previous show was hilarious too. Lots of funny mentions like Swine flu and Obama in the movie.

After the movie, went to Hereen HMV to find SNSD albums cuz we read on Soshi that they stocked it there. Searched for about 15 mins in the Korean Music section. couldnt find!!. Went to the counter, they said they only sold the 1st album but it was out of stock. AHHH!

Then we went to Taka and had dinner there. Ate KOREAN! lol. On the way out met Andrew, Claudie, Dil and Josiah at Ajisen. lol. Coincidence? haha. They just watched Transformers too.

Ok it's getting late now. Enjoy Etude! Gotta finish holiday homework tomorrow and do abit of revision!! Then on monday, BACK TO SCHOOL! Lol. No morning assemblies, temperature taking...all seems too familiar. Except the assemblies part. ok that was random and lame...

oh ya almost forgot. Michael Jackson passed away today. So sad :(. yeah that was it.

One. Twenty-One Guns.

21 guns music video came out yesterday! check it out.



New SNSD song came out yesterday! Tell Me Your Wish (Genie). The rest of the album comes out on the 25th! Wheee! :) Can't wait! NOOOO they just postponed the release to 29th june! OMGWTH.

Watched Drag Me To Hell just now with Solo, Adam and Mervman at PS. It was scary/funny in a way. Like they trying to make a joke out of it? It was quite stupid in a way. Although some parts were quite freaky.

Day before, went with Adam to see Mr. Success at PS. Guess who? Haha. I think he totally nailed it with her o.O! Way to go Merv! Tabang!

Tomorrow SENTOSA! I hope i feel ok and it doesn't rain!

Marine Girls Mania

SNSD FIGHTING! Girls' Generation is releasing their 2nd Mini Album on the 25th! That's a few days away! Can't wait!!!! Hope it sounds like a mix of their new and old music. It would sound weird actually...lol. Love their new Marine Girls theme.




Watched the last episode of Cinderella Man yesteday. It was like a super happy ending. Abit to surreal for my liking. And i think it would have been better to progress the ending abit more slowly and extend the series by a few more episodes. It was like they were rushing the ending and couldnt wait to end the show. DAMN SAD THAT IT ENDED!!! :( But i loved the ending. Ironic isn't it? lol. Yoona 성공!

Made my easiest $60 today. Gave out flyers for Bryan Wong's mum who released some kind of childrens' book. Gave out at Parkway and Takka for 3-4 hours. Lol sadded that Andre couldn't come haha. He did last week already anyways. Tomorrow gonna do 1 hour...and $40!!! It's gonna be the easiest 100 bucks i'm ever gonna make.

Came back from Malaysia yesterday. Was quite tiring. All in all, didn't do much there. Just walked around shopped abit and that's pretty much it.

I bought The Time Traveler's Wife today. Can't wait to get started.

DRAG ME TO HELL ANYONE?

KL Day 2

Woke up today damn tired! Watched episode 15 of Cinderella Man until 3am. Call me crazy. I couldn't wait any longer! 2nd last episode! Woke up had breakfast at some cafe nearby. Then went back up, slack awhile. Then headed off to Mid Valley Mega Mall. Walked around for about 2 hours, had lunch, then i met Adam and his bros in the arcade. lol. Played a few games with him, his treat. wheee! Lol thanks anyways =D. Bought 2 shirts at Topman which were on discount. Then my bro bought a pair of shoes. >.> even though i was sure you could get that in SG. Went back to the hotel at 5+. Rested, then left the hotel at 6.30 for dinner at Pavillion, which was a lot like Paragon like that i think. Had Thai food! Wahahaha.

SNSD releasing their 2nd Mini album! Can't wait!! 25 June! And they recently had a photoshoot. Totally cool theme! Marine Girls! Wahaha. Not bad not bad...AND EPISODE 16 IS OUT ALREADY! OMG OMG OMG!!

Photo Fun!

Went to school again today. Along with Jack, Cheng En, Solo, Mervin and Kyaw Min. Did some maths, then went out for lunch. Me and Kyawness had MACS and the rest went to the coffee shop. Haha YESH!! i got my black glass! Last one! Wheee! I have all now. wahahaha. Had a little dodgeball fun in the class for awhile mid way through studying :P. 3 V 3 from one end of the class to the other end, throwing this sponge ball. Haha was quite fun, drawing up tactics and stuff. lol!

Then Jerald came after lunch at about 3+ with Andre and Bryan Wong came for fun. Jerald brought his new MacBook. Helped him set some stuff up, had fun exploring this TrackPad thingy. Cool shit. Also played with his PhotoBooth application! haha.

look into the horizon...

different perspectives

comic connection

blah!

omg! There too many! (can you spot solo?)

Went home at about 5+. Then played Sims 3, parents came back from China at about 7.30++. Had dinner, then had chinese tuition and then played more Sims 3. Just showered and going to sleep soon.

A second, a minute, and hour, a day goes by

Check out this short film my cousin Si Rong showed me today. It's very nice. I loved it. Much like the You Belong With Me Video by Taylor Swift.





Today was very much wasted. Woke up, watched Toy Story! (It's been a long time since i watched it. I think it was my favourite movie when i was younger, i heard they are making a third installement) Then tried to do some A Maths, which i was successful for about 1/2 hour. Then played Sims 3, DotA(with myself, trying to reacquaint myself with the game, been almost 2 years since i played it) then played Rock Band unplugged on the psp. Watched Memoirs of a Geisha on channel 5 later, then played more Sims.

See how i wasted the day. Perfect. Shit. Tomorrow must study!! at least 4 hours!! Leaving for KL on Wednesday till Friday. So must try do as much work in the next 2 days! GO GO GO!

Pelham PC 123

Friday 12/06/09

Went to the PC Show yesterday at 2+. Met Mervin and Jerald for lunch at Marina before that. Had Yoshi. Jerald was at the show since 1 with his dad. Then we took a look at all the flyers that Jerald had collected while we ate.

Met Andre, Bing and Chin Yan at 2.45 at the Convention centre. Me, Mervin and Jerald were looking for Laptops, Andre was looking for MP3s...So we kinda split up. Me Mervin Jerald went around the whole show, collecting laptop brochures and finding out more about some of the laptops. Jerald was interested in getting a Macbook. Then we met up with Andre, Bing and Chin yan at 6+, sat down for awhile and as usual did stupid stuff like steal andre's slippers and stuff...

Andre

Jerald with his KEWL look.

Mervin reviewing the brochures

Bing Hui complaining his legs were tired

Chin Yan...ok i don't know what to say here

We were there till like 6pm then we left with a narrower choice of laptops, after taking a look at all of them. Had dinner with Jerald at Thai Express and then went up the esplanade roof to take some picures (wasn't my idea!) Then we went down to the foyer area and listened to a local live performance by this Indie/ Rock N' Roll band. Not bad at all. Then Jerald started drifting into the Grad Night stuff and how he wants our band to play. lol. After that went home.

View from Explanade Roof

Saturday 13/6/09

Went to school at 9am. Solo wanted me to go school to study with him. But yet again he was late as usual >.> he came only at 10.30? Jack and Cheng En also came. Was half productive only. Played soccer in class and Solo played DotA in class again. lol. Adam came later and played more soccer.

Then we me and Adam left at 1.30pm to meet Mervin for a movie. Watched Pelham 123, although me and adam didn't mind watching Drage Me To Hell was it? But Mervin chickened out. Haha so ended up watching Pelham 123 which was not bad, very thrilling and ALOT of F WORDS. lol like at least 1000. Then followed Mervin to the PC SHOW to meet his parents and get his laptop. In the end after much thought, Mervin got this Gateway PC that had good specs.
Then Mervin's parents treated us to Jack's Place! Yummy...lol Adam couldn't finish his food so i had extra takings :D.

I love the Gateway box, damn COwOL

Mervin's Gateway...to happiness

Cam whoring...it's a disease

So in the end, Jerald actually got a Macbook! Adam got his Vaio and Mervin got his Gateway. And for me, well, i have to wait till my parents come back from China. But by then the PC SHOW over. Haiz but my mum still said she will get me one...fingers crossed**.

Dangerously Sweet

I got Rock Band Unplugged today. It's awesome!! They have Mr.Brightside!! and The Middle!! Go get it!

Went to school today again. Met Josiah and we walked to A601, then Shawn Chin and Solo popped up from behind the pillar to scare us. And Chin kept on zapping me...>.> Was moderately productive lah. Did integration and some maxima & minima stuff. Solo was distracted with DotA the whole time, playing it on the com. Mervin came around 12+ and then Jack, Andre, Kyaw Min came. Cheng En was came today too. Lol.

Then went out for lunch at 2. Bought back chicken rice and bubble tea to eat, met Ben and Bart in the hall doing Ben's coursework thingys... saw Chia and the twins playing frisbee in the hall taking a break from breathing in wood and saw dust. haha.

PC Show tomorrow? Hmmm....

Control The Clock

Time is running out. Really fast. Have to attain maximum efficiency from my study periods. Must get more productive, less distractive!!! It all boils down to now. This is the only time left to revise whatever topics i'm weak in. Gotta do it!

성공!
