Too much holidays is bad for you

2008-07-29T18:13:00.007+08:00

For a lack of better things to do (literally) and too much time, i find myself back here writing for the first time in what seems like an eternity. I'm not surprised no one has blogged for a long time in lieu of the fact that facebook has rendered blogging all but obsolete. While facebook is indeed a convenient tool for keeping updated with people by means of wall, photos, recent activities etc, the fact remains that it doesn't show who we really are. We control what others see, that is to say we put up superficial representations of ourselves that portray us favorably, while keeping our true selves hidden. So in the midst of this facebook-obsessed age, i find it mildly therapeutic to do some honest blogging for once. And to be very honest, i have never hated 'holidays' this much in my entire life. 'Holidays' because a more accurate term would be free time to do something useful or 'seven month gap between army and university to do some productive work', whereas the actual meaning of 'holiday' would go something along the lines of 'a break between school or work (of which i am in neither category) to have fun'. And for the first time I have to admit that my holiday coincides with neither definitions, which leads me to the tragic conclusion that it could only be wasted time. While army was quite a waste of time as well, the difference is that in army I was wasting time by default, but now I'm wasting time by choice, and knowing this alone is what's keeping me from enjoying what is supposed to be a good seven months rest before uni starts. To be fair, I only have myself and my laziness to blame, but I wonder if my stance would have changed much once all the office saikang and paperwork starts to come in. I have always been of the view that no amount of outside work can be worse than what I went through in army, but now i'm starting to think otherwise. As they say, the grass always looks greener on the other side. As for now, I can only bide my time and hope that starting university will bring the much needed refreshing change to the dull drudgery and monotony that is my life. But on a brighter note, God is good, even when life isn't. Things pretty much went into decline for me since JC ended, and it can't possibly get much worse. And i'm of the opinion that you guys are probably having it way better than me, so good for you if you are, and if you're not (i'd be very surprised), look two sentences back. Well it's been slightly over two and a half years since we all last saw one another in acjc uniform, but somehow it feels like two hundred years; such was the suffering that I endured in those two years. Yet strangely enough it feels like it was just yesterday that we were in the LTs copying down notes/sleeping, sitting in the void deck talking cock and eating the crap canteen food, in the classrooms throwing frisbee/talking cock/actually listening. And it feels kind of sad knowing that we'll never be able to relive those days. I guess much has happened this two and a half years. We've all gone our separate paths, are now are probably just about as close to one another as our ex-primary school best friend. Some of us have changed a lot, some not so much, but the fact remains we've changed to some degree. And while we may be in denial, the fact remains that we'll all be 21 this year (making us old people/adults) whether we like it or not. So i just thought I'd like to take this opportunity to blanket wish you guys a HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY! (this way i save a lot on smsing and typing on facebook walls); if yours is over then make it belated. Ok i think I've deviated enough from the script (which probably means it's time to stop), so here's wishing all you guys from SC2 class of '05 a very fruitful, meaningful and gratifying adulthood ahead, and (at the risk of sounding cliche) above all let us hold fast to our immortal catchphrase/motto THE BEST IS YET TO BE.

Answer

2007-09-21T18:10:00.001+08:00

Verily simply,

Take 10 people,

Feed each one seed for each of the different jars,

Then see who gets sick.

Viola!

IQ question :) Try solving!!!

2007-06-23T16:33:00.000+08:00

Hello!!!

Haha. I'm here to spice up our blog thats been going dead. Anyway, heres an IQ question:

I have 10 containers.
I have 2 types of seeds. poisonous & non-poisonous.
The poisonous seed weighs 0.01g
The non-poisonous seed weighs 0.1g.
In each container there are 10 seeds of only 1 type. so either poisy or non-poisy. get it?

Out of 10 containers, only 1 container contains poisonous seeds. The rest contain non-poisonous seeds.

Now, I only have 1 weighing balance. I can only take ONE reading.

How can I differentiate which container contains the 10 poisonous seeds?????

haha..give it a shot :)

In the meantime, happy hols!
CHeers!!!!

red blue gold

2007-03-11T16:57:00.000+08:00

hey guys the sc2 thing on 24th is cancelled. (our seniors cancelled it.)

however, there's red blue gold dinner at acjc going on.

the propaganda: it's a dinner for acsians past and present to meet.

the reality: it's a largely scone and council dominated dinner thing.

BUT this time, it's a bit like founders day. they're really getting all the batches to come, and the space is a lot bigger. it's quite alright to be honest, for catching up, there is light entertainment and damn funny auctions. like ac flag and stuff. so yes please if you can come. sms me (or tag the board) if you're keen. or wait for me to ask you if you're not. hur. it's 20 bucks. which is just a little green note more than the mega sc2 dinner thing. on the 24th of march.

Singapore

2007-03-10T23:49:00.001+08:00

Hi everyone!

I'll be in singapore from March 25th to like.. 30/31st so I hope I can meet up with you guys.

See you later!

2007-03-06T22:03:00.001+08:00

Hello people. We have a sc2 blog, like all the freakin generations kind. Here

founder's day

2007-03-02T15:38:00.000+08:00

well since its an off day and i've got nothing better to do now i thought i'd like to share my thoughts on founder's day. this year's founder's day wasn't much diff than the previous ones, the only diff being this time round we didn't have to wear uniform. i guess the guest of honor dr vivian balakrisnan's address pretty much summed up how i was feeling and thinking at the time. for the benefit of those who weren't there, he spoke of how some things have changed and some just never change, which i totally agree. in my point of view, things have definitely changed, mr loo becoming the new vice principal, new building, new teachers, new subject combinations, no more trip science combi etc, but most importantly the school spirit seemed very much intact. it's kind of strange seeing all the current students from an spectator's point of view, with a been-there-done-that kind of attitude, and how just a little over a year ago we were in their exact same position. i thought the current batch of students would be quite different from ours, but there were actually they were very much like us. the typical sight, a crumpler bag, shirt untuck, ipod headphones in ears, last minute copying of homework, the mad rush to get to the auditorium during the last 5mins. it was like watching acjc:attack of the clones. in fact, i think the current council head seems like a mini-lifeng in the making. another thing he said which struck me was that despite all our differences, coming from diff schools, backgrounds etc, we all share a unique identity which makes us acsians. it's this identity, i believe, that sets acjc apart from any other school, i would like to say, in the world. there's just something about acjc that all those who pass through her gates will have their lives changed forever. this identity transcends beyond even the realm of human logic and time, like an invisible web that connects all acsians past and present together into one huge ecosystem(the acs family), as if from a spell that bishop oldham had cast when he first founded acs, if i may be allowed to sound fairy-taleish. and i feel this identity is the reason so many acsians have the passion to come back the contribute to the school and look out for fellow acsians. this strength of identity was showcased very much during the event, with every graduating class since the very first in1977 up to 2005 was represented. it was truly an honor just sitting there watching them go up to recieve their tokens of appreciation, as if seeing the years fly by since acjc was founded. as usual, the teachers were also shown due appreciation for their long service, and it was great seeing their all hard work and dedication put in to help us students rewarded. i believe the teachers make up a very big part of acjc and they really do it out of care more than anything else. so i was glad to see ms malini, ms chia sufern, ms limoh, mr heng geesan and all as well, remembering how much we'd terrorized them and their patience and tolerance of us. and of course seeing fellow classmates, seniors and the graduating batch of 2005 in general, those who could make it at least, just catching up and reliving the good old days. i can say with full confidence that we the class of 2005 have done acjc proud, and have cemented our place in acjc history, and the future seems to be in good hands with the new batch continuing to fly the ac flag high. though for us this chapter of our life has faded and a new one is being written, i believe that acjc has truly left its mark on our lives forever, and we've left behind it a legacy that will never be forgotten. once an acsian, always an acsian.

mega sctwo outing

2007-01-27T09:50:00.000+08:00

Hey guys, our senior Wayne's trying to organise a massive SJI, and people from the graduating batch of 03 all the way to 08 will probably be there. We're still trying to figure out the details, and we're looking for a place (preferably) near school to hold it. Last I heard it was supposed to be around the march holidays, but I think that can be changed if need be.

Our grand juniors came up with a slogan:

SCTwo: We eat scones for breakfast.

Hoho, I think the gathering will involve a tad bit of games, and food of course, plus we might be getting new SCTwo shirts, whether it'll be the same design or not I'm not sure. But yes for now, any ideas on where to hold it?

2006-12-08T20:02:00.000+08:00

i just wanna share my past 4 day experience at wesley YM church camp 2006. It was AMAZING. i couldn't have had a better 4 days all year, just spending 4 days in church and back into the presence of GOD, and having fellowship with everyone there. The worship was out of this world, everyone was really high as if on drugs, jumping around and all that. GOD really touched the heart of every single camper during the past 4 days and even transformed the lives of many. I'm really at a loss for words right now at what to say, it's just been a surreal experience. I'm pretty sure YM will never be the same again. It's made the rest of my year seem all worthwhile, just to go for this camp and encounter GOD for 4 days. I just want to urge all of u guys to have the desire to experience God if u have not already done so, cause it really is a life-changing experience. It doesnt matter who you are or what you've done in the past, all you need is a willingless to let go and surrender your life to Him, it's that simple. Going to church every Sunday doesn't make you a Christian when the rest of the week you just go on with your life as usual. In fact, it makes u a hypocrite, which is what i'm guilty of being. So yeah, whatever stage of your life you are at now, where ever you are, who ever you are, just surrender everything to God and let Him take control. I hope my testimony inspires you guys to make a change in the way u live your lives same way God has inspired me the past week! Thanks to you guys who've given all the God-inspired encourgement and everything, but i didn't really understand what it all meant til now. CONTINUE TO LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR THE GLORY OF GOD!

With all I'm hoping to be
And all that the world will bring
And all that fails to compare

You say You want all of me
I wouldnt have it any other way

I've got a Saviour and He's living in me
WHOA

I wana know
I wana know You today

an announcements!

2006-11-30T18:52:00.000+08:00

Okayyy class outing! Badminton, next saturday morning, clementi sports centre. And very likely lunch after that. Unless you have a better idea. Dota isn't counted.

So, be there or be um.. not there. yargblarg.

2006-11-10T21:10:00.000+08:00

sing acs forevermore,
our acs forever.

Looking Back

2006-11-09T12:58:00.000+08:00

Looking back through the archives of this blog, I realize I made a lot of stupid posts probably due to being bored or stupid at that time

Sometimes life is just a wonderful thing, and one is ever changing through life's passage and being able to laugh about some of the things I have done is the best part of it.

Anyways, I don't know why I decided to post this.. I was googling my name (yes i'm a google search =D *score one for me!*) and I happened upon a few of the archives of this blog. Anyways good luck for finals for those who have them, midterms, and whatever is next in your next phase of life.

2006-11-09T09:11:00.000+08:00

To answer Deborah, we don't have any recess/reading holiday. It's just 11 weeks of school without any breaks (unless it's a public holiday, but there're so few!) this term, and next term. My first holiday is between terms. I only get a term break in May next year, before my finals.

Well, I think it's always nice to look back on what you've been through. See how you've grown, remember the happy times, see God's hand in it all... And it makes me quite happy to be where I am. So even if the future looks daunting, or if the present is shitty, the past makes it worth reaching whatever shitty point you're at and that kinda gives me motivation to get on through whatever shit you feel you're facing. So yeah, my 2cents worth...

I would love to go back home for Christmas but unfortunately I can't so have fun you all! And all the best!

of exams and holidays

2006-11-09T02:32:00.000+08:00

so as you might all know by now, the poor nus students are facing their exams come end of dec. and the imperial kids are having/getting their reading week sometime soon. no? medicine is hardwork. way too much work. everything they said about medicine being hard was absolutely true. no lies about it. it feels like the A levels all over again. or at least the bio bit of it. but at least it's interesting. (:

so to those struggling through ns or uni, look at the bigger picture and somehow things will seem a little easier. it works for me at least.

love to everyone and take care. and yes i can finally make it for a class thing! hurray

2006-11-06T20:03:00.000+08:00

another year has almost gone by and i'm left wondering whether i've accomplished anything at all. sometimes life sucks so bad u just feel like whats the point of it all. i don't think i've ever had a year where i've felt so damn depressed and demoralized so often. the phrase 'u won't know whats sweet until u've tasted whats bitter' is so true. even during school days, i've never looked forward to weekends so much in my life. and when they come, it's not like i'm doing anything productive, and it just seems wasted away. life is just like one whole monotonous cycle. its simply a phase of life i just want to erase completely from my mind. the worse part is, there's still a long long way to go. what's more, the future looks uncertain. what's next, i don't have a clue. uni and work, i don't think i'm ready for it. its easy to say you want to live for God, but when u get back into the world it seems like a lost cause. nobody cares, and everyone is only concerned about their own selves. looking back on the jc days, it all seems so distant now. all thats left are just blurred memories. the harsh fact is that there's no rewind button. it's all over, finished, just like that. i'm quite sure those in uni now, esp overseas, are probably happily living it up, while for those in ns, our time will come. at least, there is still hope left.

chalet

2006-11-01T18:49:00.000+08:00

Hey guys, class chalet 29-30th December. It's a friday/saturday so yeah. East coast resort. Hope this is enough notice for a respectable reunion. For those of us overseas and not present, we'll try and arrange for a skype session at the least. So NS boys, keep a day of leave to take then if you can manage it. Otherwise book in straight after Mindef allows you to book out. Yucky number 4s welcomed. It's a 2 storey chalet so girls should hopefully stay over. Pretty please? If any violent objections we'll sort it out! BUT PLEASE DO COME. Spread the word!

P.S. Boris and Jasmine are coming too! Hopefully Yamini as well. Can right yam? Haha. Er Cat skype okay? Haha... We'll figure out that at least

ORD OH

2006-10-27T20:38:00.000+08:00

now the title doesn't have anything to do with this post, but anyway. i was thinking we should have another CLASS OUTING! soon. like at SETTLERS! or MINDS! cafe or some other cool place (dota doesn't count.) it'll probably have to be on a SATURDAY! or something cause of the army guys.

so what do yall think? any other ideas? like CLASS CHALET!, choo/candice?

oh and whoever has admin access (weiliang/yamini i think), can you invite my other blogger account (username: misterboring) to the class blog? it's easier to post here that way.

hello from london

2006-10-10T04:54:00.000+08:00

Well, seeing as to how I asked Yamini to post about her British adventures, I figure I better do likewise or it'd be rather unfair. I'll have to agree about the parties because it's the same down here in London. Freshers' Week for us was pretty much partying almost every night, with so many societies/organisations/groups/halls organising their own welcome parties. But I haven't been partying very much because the Singaporeans in my hall (about 10 of us) are a pretty sedate bunch haha. Rather anti-social too, since we tend to stick to each other. But apparently, we're a lot more welcoming than the Hong Kongers because we include this Swiss dude in quite a few of our activities (church/cooking/going out). Right. But lest you all chastise me for not living it up here, I did have some free booze the weekend that I moved into hall. I had 1 bottle of Smirnoff Ice and half a bottle of beer and my heart started racing so that's pretty much my limit. Haha.

The architecture here is amazing though you'll really have to see it for yourself. I stuck a few photos on at the end but there's so much here you can't capture. The weather is good albeit horribly unpredictable. At least it isn't hazy :P Anyways, that's about it. I'll probably have more stories to tell if I talked to you all but then with school (finally) officially starting this week, and the 7 hour time difference, it's a little hard. Right so take care of yourselves!

Blueskies,
Cat.

oops. Nearly forgot heh.

2006-09-13T15:47:00.000+08:00

Haha. I'm not writing this because I'm eloquent, I just happen to have some free time because I'm waiting for 4pm so that I can call London. So anyway, class dinner was a blast! If you weren't there, you missed out on some really good food (and I don't mean Paul's standards of good) and an awesome opportunity to catch up! But no worries, I'm sure you guys will still meet up once in a while, even if some of us aren't around. Anyways, much thanks to Caleb who volunteered his house and everyone who turned up! And if you've got photos please send them to me!

class dinner oh

2006-09-12T22:35:00.000+08:00

my apologies for the lousy photo quality. damn i'm ugly. lucky paul's around XD haha and i just realised weiliang's missing. see lar come so late

class gathering was great as usual, but i think i'll leave the elaboration of that to someone more eloquent. (HINTcatHINT) suffice it to say that absence does make the heart grow fonder.

right now back to superficial veins of the upper limb. curse you yongloolin school of medicine

hello everyone. just checking to see if everyone's alive and well. (: post post. random rubbish about your lives or whatever. i dunno.

2006-05-25T15:17:00.000+08:00

Proverbs 15:15(KJV)
"All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast."

This verse in Proverbs states that bad circumstances do not have to produce a bad attitude in a person. Difficult circumstances do not have to produce an evil disposition. We can choose how we are going to react to our circumstances. Some people allow their circumstances to rule them, instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to rule them. Some people, all the days of their lives, will experience evil days because they never have learned to overcome the devil's attacks of evil, fear, worry and depression. When we accept Christ as our savior, one of the gifts we receive from the Lord is the gift of joy. The joy that the Lord gives us goes beyond human joy. A person who has the joy of the Lord can endure and overcome all adverse circumstances without losing their joy. The reason for this is that God's joy comes from the spirit and does not take outward stimulus to produce a merry heart. A person who is in love with Jesus not only has that merry heart, but they have a continual feast of joy in the Holy Ghost.

As a Christian, all we need to do to get our well of joy flowing is to "prime the pump" just a little. The best way to overcome despondency, worry and foreboding is to start praising God and thanking Him for all the blessings He has given us. Instead of focusing on the evil things, we can turn our attention to the blessings of God. In Christian circles, there is a little song that we sing and the words are: Count your blessings, Name them one by one, Count your blessings, See what God has done! (repeated twice). Many times, when I have been tempted to get depressed and "down-in-the-mouth" about my unhappy circumstances, I just start singing that little chorus and it perks me right up. Praising God is a wonderful way to overcome depression and fear.We should always have the attitude of praise and thanksgiving toward God in our hearts no matter what kind of trial or trouble we are going through.

The Bible tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." Now let us notice the Scripture says to praise God in everything, not for everything. It is the will of God to always be thankful. Everything that happens to us is not always the will of God.One of the first things we need to know about God is that He is the source of all good things. He loves us. In fact, the Scripture says He loved us so much He sent His son Jesus to die for us so that we might have life and have it more abundantly. We should not believe in praising God for tragedies, for sickness, for bad things, yet we should believe in praising Him in these circumstances. You see, the bad things did not come from God and we don't want to blame the Lord for something the devil sent.

Our God is not the author of sickness, sin, tragedies, sorrow and heartache. The devil is the one who sends these things and then tries to get us to blame them on the Lord.If we belong to God, then the devil is off limits when he tries to bring sickness, poverty, sorrow, fear or any other bad thing; we can use the name of Jesus against him and he will flee. We can also use the weapon of praise; "praising God" no matter what Satan is trying to do to us. We can say, "Lord, I love and worship You, no matter what Satan is doing; I want You to know I love You, and Lord, I know You love me." Satan will have to flee when we begin praising God because the Bible says the Lord inhabits the praises of His people. "But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel" (Psalm 22:3).

The book of Psalms is a wonderful book of praises and songs to the Lord. Some of the greatest Psalms of praises were written by David and recorded in Psalms 29, 30, 34 and 103. We can meditate on these words and find that praise will lift our hearts from despair. Praise is one of the greatest weapons against fear and loneliness. Worshipful songs and music can lift us up when we are depressed or lonely. Praise can bring about our prayer answers for the Lord loves to fellowship with and give to those with grateful hearts. The Lord's nature is one of joy, and therefore He wants us to be joyful. We should be thankful and grateful for all He has done for us. His sacrifice for our sins on the cross should be enough to make us eternally grateful and cause us to praise Him for evermore!!

Hey peps, when I came across this today, it helped me to cast away my sorrows. I just thought of posting it, hoping it might give you the same comfort as it has given me.

Give thanks, for his love endures forever!!

Dear sc2'04-05,
As May draws towards an end, most of us would more or less see our next step in front of us already. It may or may not be what you've always wanted or expected and perhaps you might be confused or unsure of what you're supposed to do now. If you've gotten where you wanted, congratulations and work hard ok! I think it'll be an amazing and exciting ride henceforth so enjoy every moment ya? If you haven't, or if you're still unsure, I know it's hard and I really understand what you're feeling because there are days when I just don't even know what I'm supposed to do anymore either.

I just thought I'd put up this verse because amidst all this uncertainty and confusion, I think it's great that we can find comfort in God's word.

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29

I think we all know in our heads that God loves us and that He has wonderful plans for us but I've realised this year how hard it is to really believe it wholeheartedly, with every fibre of your being. Especially when things don't go the way you think they would/should. Or when you have no idea at all how God will accomplish certain things in your life. Or when the doors that you think should be opening are just shut tight. I struggle to hold fast to the knowledge that He loves me and will provide for all my needs too, but I guess it's in the struggle that we build faith and learn to abide in God's will patiently, right?

I don't know how all of you will feel after reading this, but I hope it's been an encouragement. I'm very proud of and happy for every single one of you, and even though you might not be feeling particularly thrilled about the prospect of a whole new chapter of your life unfolding or how it's unfolding, I have faith that we will all be able to look back in a few years time and say that our lives have indeed turned out well. Not just well even, but exceedingly so.

I hope you are all well, do take care!

those were the days

NS

2006-04-30T10:45:00.000+08:00

just for u guys' interest, i'll try and briefly share what my experience being first in tekong for the first 3+ weeks has been like. i actually see quite alot of ac pple around..fairly scattered among the different companies. seen caleb once in scorpion and wl is also in pegasus but diff platoon, hes in field camp now..might have something to add when he sees this. quite fortunate as pegasus is already considered a very 'slack' company, our RO(meaning time when we get free time from) for 3 straight days was around 7.20..which is considered ridiculously early..for other more xiong companies like mohawk and ninja i doubt it has ever happened before; usually the average is 9+ and maybe 8+ if u r lucky. our sergeants also are not as cruel as N or M..so far..most of my platoon sergeants r actually comparatively damn nice come to think of it. cant really speak for the rest cos i duno for sure what the other company ones are like. also quite fortunate that pegasus has quite a big ac population so i see quite a number of familiar faces from time to time. actually i'm supposed to be in some palm plantation in tekong right now doing field camp(which is nowhere near what a field camp is supposed to be like) but i'm out on att c cos of fever. but i'll have to go back and join them soon. seriously falling sick during ns is the most shit feeling in the world cos they dont let u rest in the bunk, u still have to follow everyone around and sometimes do labour work, and so instead of getting better u might actually get worse, like me running around in duno what temperature heat while having fever. it might be ok for those 40% or so who zhaogeng(meaning fake illness) or with minor ones like blisters or abrasions but if u are really really sick its torturous. they say that the first 2 weeks of adjustment are the easy ones, but i found the first few days the toughest cos u dont know everyone and everyone seems like a stranger to u and when u r desperately trying to find a familiar face, while at the same time being ordered around like dogs. but i think after the first 2 weeks and u start getting to know your section and platoon on a first name basis, things start looking a bit more cheerful..cos when u suffer u noe you're not suffering alone..and when u do push ups or doing route march at the same time u encourage those around u who are suffering as well. it builds a strong sense of team spirit and unity among the recruits, i can safely say in all the companies. i think the most important lesson we'll all get out of bmt is the importance of working as a team, cos we all are in the same shit together and have no choice but to stick together through it all and look out for one another, cos if one guy fails or if one guy doesnt sing or falls behind, the whole platoon or section or company gets it. i'm not saying i'll become blood brothers and best buddies with my entire section or platoon, but we'll all know how to work together at the right time and get things done, and the memories of the time spent will definitely be unforgettable. also another fact is that we all have to get along well with one another. u can be the most fit, A for ippt, top for shooting, SOC whatever but if u have a snobbish attitude and make more enemies than friends, then u'll probably have a very poor peer appraisal and chances of making it into command school or wherever u want to go become slim. thus for your own sake you try your best to get along with everyone, although u might not necessarily like everyone around u. having said all this, this does not mean in any way that me or any other person is enjoying bmt cos i seriously doubt anyone is. the only thing that everyone looks forward to is the weekends and the magic words 'book out'. there are dozens of other aspects of army life to talk about but i'll save it for another time. thats all that i can think of so far about my premature bmt experience so far but i hope it gives u guys out there who are in not in army a clearer picture of what its like. and i'm looking forward to hearing stories from the other ns pple as well..after booking out hopefully. book out time is very very very very very very very very very very very precious. sleep is most important.

Class outing?

2006-04-29T18:18:00.000+08:00

Hello people. It's been a while since we met up and I was thinking if we could have a class outing/chalet on the 12th/13 next month? Friday and saturday. Vesak Day I think, so public holiday. NS boys should be able to make it also. Till the details are worked out, try to keep that day free.

Dropping by......

2006-04-06T12:36:00.000+08:00

Hi everbody!

I'm so glad this blog 'isn't dying'...lol. Anyway, juz thought I'll pop by and write smthg to keep this blog alive..yea.

So..hows everyone? Boys loving NS? hehe..hope u are...and gurls, hows working been? Base on my ongoing experience with working, its not much better..

In fact I think NS is much more fun. Seriously.

Oh, btw I'm really shocked by the big difference in the no. of girls and boys in our grandjuniors' class...maybe girls are becoming more intelligent!!HurrAy!! haha.

Well, I hope things are going well for u all...and someone (uhumuhum) pls org. another class outing soon..can we have one every month???

Ok..take care and god bless!

good morning kids

2006-04-04T20:12:00.000+08:00

Hello you 3sctwo folks, or rather, the 3 scowts -- which is what we are all known now as our new j1 juniors have coined that rather erm... interesting name for themselves. If you're planning to recruit warcraft/dota juniors from them, you'd be sorely disappointed to know that they have a majority of girls and guys number less than 10 (only 7 actually, with 21 girls). They all look kinda nerdy :/ The picture actually cut out 2 people but ohwell, I wouldn't harbour that much hope for the remaining two. Heh.

Anyways, if Paul and/or Caleb read this, Hussain is telling me that his dota skills are damn good. Has he improved!? If he hasn't please tell me before you all enlist so that I can shut him up in class. Haha.

I recommended a kid to Phang...already. Lol.

Anyways, I hope you're all well and happy :)

heyho merry ho

2006-03-27T17:14:00.000+08:00

hello everyone. for the record i AM in singapore. and i am working right now. i hope everyone is doing fine. take care and love to everyone. (:

2006-01-05T21:58:00.000+08:00

hi guys! i don't know how many of you still read this but oh well, i just really really felt like writing something (: well anyways, if you haven't already heard, i'm being employed by the gp department as a relief teacher for the next two terms! sounds exciting but trust me, the job is NOT fun AT ALL yet, because:
1) teaching hasn't started yet because the timetables aren't out

2) i don't like having to portray myself as a teacher because i am seriously so NOT teacher-ly. i'd rather be slacking and doing things which are infinitely more fun, so yes, DO APPRECIATE your relative freedom ok! Employment is a far worse obligation than school ):

3) i really really really x1000000....0 miss being a student because that means seeing familiar faces in the majority of my time!!! ): ): ): and it just feels so strange to not have people sharing in your misery/joy anymore because we don't spend common time together anymore. i think this sense of loneliness is pretty much the worst thing that came with graduation.

Anyways, it would be awesome if some of you dropped by, I love it when people come back cos I get to see familiar faces and get some sort of respite from "being employed/a teacher".

Something else depresses me -- the single beep when I use my ez link card ): Anyways, i'm hoping to hear frm you all soon!

2006-01-03T23:59:00.000+08:00

going in on thursday. honestly i'm quite looking forward to it... i think. haha. see you guys around on weekends. some dota sessions. some class lunches. maybe some gossip. haha take care ppl.

2005-12-03T21:48:00.000+08:00

actually after listening to a couple of chinese songs i think they're really quite nice. it'd be quite fun if the whole class actually went to go sing karaoke like after prom or something. chinese songs are kinda heartwarming and gd to sing in a group with. i really wouldn't mind giving it a shot even though my chinese sucks. so..LETS GO!

i like this song 老鼠爱大米 its quite catchy

我听见你的声音有种特别的感觉
让我不断想不敢再忘记你
我记得有一个人永远留在我心中
哪怕只能够这样的想你
如果真的有一天爱情理想会实现
我会加倍努力好好对你永远不改变
不管路有多么远一定会让它实现
我会亲亲在你耳边对你说(对你说)
我爱你爱着你就像老鼠爱大米
不管有多少风雨我都会依然陪着你
我想你想着你不管有多么的苦
只要能让你开心我什么都愿意
这样爱你

what is this feeling freedom

2005-11-25T20:47:00.000+08:00

so yes the dreaded As are finally over. the day we've all long awaited for. absolute freedom. something we haven't experienced for 2 years. yet strangely, i don't feel a single damn thing. why. i've always expected As to end with a mega ultra high with like fireworks in the sky gunshots and magic. but it's as though nothing's happened. maybe it hasnt sunk in yet. the fact that the biggest exams we've ever taken and probably will ever take in our lives has just ended. maybe the feeling of freedom has become so alien and foreign that now that its here i've lost the ability to grasp hold of it. or maybe theres just something wrong with me. either way i'm definitely not ecstatic or anything. now i understand the term post exam depression..or is there even such a term. a feeling of being overwhelmed by many different emotions at once..happiness relief disappointment sadness. how do u handle it. theres just the feeling that i can now do whatever i want..but i can't. i just hope i don't end up vegetating in front of the comp or tv the whole time. if the fun starts now..why hasnt it started yet.

nearly there

2005-11-13T21:34:00.000+08:00

it's been one week. we're nearly there. grit our teeth, bear it and we'll be done before we know it. good luck to everyone and God bless. the end is neigh. (:

thank you

2005-10-13T02:56:00.000+08:00

"We are friends and I do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter. I wouldn't mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper while you read the front. We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you very often."

it's been a fantastic two years. i know i haven't really been going to school regularly and all, but i do love you all so and i will miss you. we should have more class gatherings ever so often. like once a month. (:

for the best class EVER

2005-10-11T20:46:00.000+08:00

Here in this diary,
I write you visions of my summer.
It was the best I ever had.
There were choruses and sing-alongs,
And that unspoken feeling of knowing
Right now is all that matters
All the nights we stayed up talking
and listening to 80's songs;
quoting lines from all those movies that we love.
It still brings a smile to my face.
I guess when it comes down to it...

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
is just following your heart
and eventually you'll finally get it right.

Breaking into hotel swimming pools,
and wreaking havoc on our world.
Hanging out at truck stops just to pass the time.
The black top's singing me to sleep.
Lighting fireworks in parking lots,
illuminate the blackest nights.
Cherry cokes under this moonlight summer sky.
2015 Riverside, it's time to say, "goodbye."
Get on the bus, it's time to go.

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up:
These are the best days of our lives.
The only thing that matters
is just following your heart,
and eventually you'll finally get it right.

somehow i cant bring myself to believe that there are onli 4 days of school left. the past 2 years have been a mix of ups and downs, but overall an experience i'll never forget for the rest of my life. all the cock talking bullshit, lame crap, dota talk, jacking (i'll freaking never forget that), mass PEs, recesses at the void deck, lectures and classes (esp classroom 3.2) , CCAs, outings and everything that just made these past two years so memorable. oh and not forgetting all the great pple i've met along the way too. that pretty much sums up my jc experience in a nutshell. sure i do care about grades, but to me jc isnt realli all about taking the A lvls and aceing it. i'd much rather say i went to jc and had a blast than i went to jc and got 4As. (of course both would be nice) i don't think i'll be able to bring myself to express everything i wanna say come baccalaurette day, but i just wanna say that it's been a wonderful two years spent with all you guys and i'm realli gonna miss you all. as our jc lives come to a close and we begin a new chapter of our lives (NS for most of the guys and probably uni for the girls), its gonna be kinda tough for me knowing that something which has been such a big part of my life for the past two years is gonna end. but i noe theres something that won't be taken away, the great memories and great friendships made, as well as the AC culture, it never dies.
guys, its been a blast.

Good Luck

2005-09-28T05:42:00.000+08:00

Well, I just dropped by and was actually surprised that there were so many new posts,

anyways just wanted to wish you guys luck as i understand the A's will determine a large part of your further educational paths along with whether or not any of you will feel like hanging out with me in december.

anyways i'm never going to be done with school -__-.. i have one more semester of calc before i catch up with you guys and at least 2 more semesters of bio and 1 mores semester of chemistry..
oh and lets not forget the 2 sememsters of physics. The good thing is at least i finished my general ed so no more english and stuff for me.. heh

anyways i was just wondering.. how many of you have ever been in a car crash?

2005-09-16T22:52:00.000+08:00

well the prelims results have just come out and many out there are still in a state of disbelief, disappointment, shock, relief or just plain i knew it was coming or i don't give a shit attitude. theres one thing that i can say for sure though, nobody is realli elated or euphoric over the results. for some maybe the results have been less than satisfactory, but maybe thats the best you could have done, so just take it as it is. you may not have done as well as you've wanted, but theres always gonna be people out there who have done better and worse than you, so theres no point comparing with other pple and dwelling too much on your grades. even if lets say you had gotten 4As, theres always someone whos gotten 4As with a higher score. as long as you've done your best, whats more to ask of you. results are nothing but letters and numbers on pieces of paper, but at the end of the day what matters is all the hard work you've put in and the process of getting there. i know most are currently or eventually are going to have to face the parents and suffer the brunt of threats and punishments. well it doesn't matter what they or anyone else for that matter think of your results, but what matters is that you know you've tried your best and done all you possibly could. i'm honestly very thankful to God for my results because i was really apprehensive of even getting 4Bs, but God has yet again gave me better than what i had expected, even though i don't really think i deserved it. i want to say that i'm truly proud of every single person and of all the effort you've put in, no matter what u got. this isnt the end, it may not even matter. what matters is that we've come out of this stronger, wiser and more resolved, for the real obstacle the As have yet to come. so don't be disheartened by this minor setback and focus on the main issue at hand, continue to study hard and i believe we'll make it through and reap the fruits of our labour at the very end. go sc2!

2005-09-15T14:45:00.000+08:00

kinda feeling shitty (for the lack of a better word) right now. just had a conversation with wl just now and for the first time in a long time i was actually honest and had a real proper conversation with anyone. i realize that i don't have any real 'friends' in JC at all, everyone is just so self absorbed and i myself have become one self absorbed insensitive idiot. there are plenty of reasons to feel like shit, prelim results are coming, and life is just so monotonous and meaningless. i really just wish i had someone close whom i can pour my heart out to and talk without having to feel embarassed, and vice versa. i noe there are plenty of good listeners and friends out there, but sometimes u just need something to make two pple click. sometimes i just wish i could go back to acsi or even pri school where everyone would just do stupid things and crap around during lessons and breaks without caring wad other pple thought, coz everyone was also doing it. the acsi tennis team was also genuinely united and close, compared to here where we SAY we are close but we arent. i didn't have many friends back then, but the ones i had, i was really close to. even though now we've all gone our separate ways, those were the friendships that were worth making and treasuring, and i can still remember all the good times we shared. but most importantly, i could spend hours talking to them just about anything and everything, and by that i mean PROPER wholesome conversations and not just meaningless banter like dota and schoolwork. sure we also did play quite a number of games back then but those were the times that when we played we usually went over to each others places and really had fun. you may think ok so what what the hell am i saying all this for. fastforward to where i am now and i can see a huge difference between the way i treated my friends back then and now. i'm honestly quite sick of going to school everyday and repeating the same lines to people over and over again. its always either schoolwork or dota related. very rarely do i ever have meaningful and satisfying chat with anyone. everybody is desperate to find something to occupy themselves with, so much so that we all will even do stuff we'd never even think abt doing in the first place. and its disappointing coz i'm also like that and not achieving anything in the end. life becomes so empty and pointless, and even tho sometimes i feel down or wadever, i'll just put on a smile or false front to cover it up. its as tho on the outside i may seem ok, but on the inside its emptyness and nothingness. the lack of after sch activities in sch have also narrowed down the common places to the void deck, canteen or hub, and pple end up wif nth much to do. theres realli not much of a life besides books and notes. while others end up at home on dota or some just some other time wasting activity. (in no way is this directed towards anyone) my relationships wif pple have become so superficial and shallow its not even funny. i duno if other pple are feeling like shit, for some reason or another, or feel like shit but are covering up, but i'm sure there are. if i could turn back time to the first day i stepped into jc, i'd approach things differently and genuinely make an effort to be a better friend. but now its a little late now. i havent been a good friend at all and well i think i'm suffering the consequences. i just hope that i don't leave jc with nothing at all, and hopefully i'll take something from it. i've got nothing against my classmates and i wouldn't trade classes with any other class in a million years, but there are some things that are wrong with me and need to be sorted out. (i'm not using this like some personal blog but i needed to get it out of my system or i'd just die.)

well done, and as usual weiliang manages to make four spelling errors, no wait five, in probably about as many sentences. hmm wow i havent been here in a while, much less posted about anything ohwell.

so anyway, whoever has pictures of the outing, do post them here or somewhere where we can all go download them. i'll have mine out as soon as i get un-lazyfied enough to do it, provided imagestation doesn't hate me as usual.

my head

2005-09-08T20:40:00.000+08:00

i left my head in Sentosa along with my sunglasses and even though I'm sitting here now I can still feel the waves that toss my head backwards and forwards like a cheap imitation proyo in the hands of some overexcited teenager. though it was absoultely brilliant in terms of an outing all things considered fun was achieved without the usage of dota, besides conversation, and we actually did something for a change rather than stoning, however the aftereffects have sent me reeling akin to a hangover except without the alcohol neccesary prior to achieve maximum suffering and i somewhat regret that my sunglasses have been lost though right now i can't really say much since there's no hope in getting it back. i would rant and rave alot about how cool and how everyone rocks especially some people in the class but then it would be rather bad form and supremely out of character for me to say so many good gushing things about everyone in a class since i like stoning and i like insulting people but for those who are expecting the unexpected today, well you're not going to get satisfied with my current post because i fully intend to avoid saying how much this class is cool because there has been quite enough of that nonsense prior to this post. instead i shall try to finish this post within as little sentances as possible and try to achieve a length of about 200 words while still inserting content along the sidelines and being almost completely gramatically correct, and so without much further ado since i have run dry as the sahara or golbi for that matter in terms of ideas i shall end this post with very long sentances here and say this is a one off things so don't expect much long sentances from me in the future because it is very tiring so i can feel a big wave coming on towards my head so if you'd excuse me i'm going off to be seasick.

2005-09-06T20:23:00.000+08:00

yupyup. i agree. i really love sctwo. and i really loved the 2 years in ac. and it's a bit too early for all these stuff. i really wish we didn't have to part. but i'll save the remembering for later. because i will pretend to hold on to what little we have left. (:

2005-09-03T20:28:00.000+08:00

well said man. especially the part about how i rock. heh. but anyway seriously, i'm soooooo glad i came back from that scary class of sa1 (well comparitively, it's quite scary) i honestly cannot imagine my life if i'd stayed there man. but honestly paul's so right... i CANNOT imagine how this class would've been without any single one person. all i know is that it wouldn't be complete. and paul you left one name out haha ur own.. ok la so we all luuuvvvv to make fun of you and everything, but yeah sc2 would so not be wat it is without you. haha i think WHEN (not if) we have a reunion ten years later or something, the one person we'd most wanna see is YOU! haha.. i mean that in a good way of course. heh.

i've sorta lost my thing for writing (not flare, (never had any) interest)otherwise i'd go on for a lengthy entry. and i think we'll hopefully be doing smth bout the layout soon. it's one of the post-prelims project which i already had in mind, which is like right now. hopefully by the end of the hols, if me and weiliang can figure smth out.

SC2 '05: this is for you

ok i doubt anyone ever reads this shit anymore (if anyone did in the first place), the layout sucks, its too inactive, and pple simply have better things to do (then why am i here) etc etc, but it doesnt matter. looking back on all the old posts back in JC1, i cant believe i actually wrote all those retarded embarrassing poems. i'm still amazed at how well i was able to write back then; now i can't string a sentence together to save my life (thats what dota does to some pple). i was seriously a lot different then, as were all of you guys, and everyone has more or less changed in the past 2 years. you guys may not have noticed it, or are in denial, but its true. some of us has changed for the better, some for the worse (i'd like to think everyone has changed for the better) , some of us have become screwed from dota, some are affected by those who have been screwed up etc etc. well dota cannot be completed blamed for all these negative effects, but i sincerely apologize to all those who have been affected by it in one way or another. i've become more independent at the expense of discipline, academically brighter at the expense of atheleticism and fitness, i'd like to think i've become more considerate at the expense of selfishness and greed, and i hope i don't insult pple as much as before. there are still a few things that hasnt changed tho, i'm still competitive as ever, sometimes temperemental, pride(i'm not proud of it), and to a certain extent a little insensitive towards others. change cannot be prevented, but at least you guys didnt go through it alone. you guys see one another 5 days a week, some even more, and everyone has practically seen one another change and grow up.we've went through sweat(mass pe, AC games etc) shit(exams and tests,well basically lessons in general) and sweet times(outings and the stuff you guys do which i don't realli noe) together and i'm glad to say that i'm able to spend this transitional period of life with all you guys. you guys have made my 2 years in JC the best and will remain the best time of my life (and thats saying something considering i was in acsi for 4 years). yes i'd never have thought 2 years in JC would be better than 10 years of pri and sec school education combined, but it truly has. would i have been able to survive the terrible canteen food and horrid eating conditions without you guys? No. would i have survived the dreary, endless lectures and tutorials without you guys? No. would i have been able to force myself to wake up at 6am every morning and spend the insane amount of hours in school had it not been for you guys? No. in short, you guys not only made JC life tolerable and bearable, but fun and enjoyable. the ride was nonetheless full of ups and downs, but definitely with more ups than downs. the first three months and funorama were definitely the highlights for me, as were the numerous sentosa and class outings. props to raymond for doing such a great job bringing the class together. sometimes i think ur the onli guy who can bond the class together so well. some of u guys i noe quite well, some not so well. when we all leave JC and go our separate ways, i can't say whether you guys will still keep in touch. but theres one thing i noe for sure, the friendships made and memories i will cherish for as long as i live. ideally we'd like to meet often and catch up with one another, and i think it won't be the end for many of us. i'd love to address and express my gratitude to every single one of you guys but it'd take wayy to long and i'd never finish. maybe some other time. besides, no words can express how much you guys mean to me and how much i owe you guys. every single one of you is special in your own way, and have made an impact on me in one way or another. i honestly admire and respect each and every single one of you for your unique qualities and characteristics. i don't care if you get 4Fs for A levels and become a roadsweeper, i think all of you are great and will become great successes in the future. but i just have one thing to say to all you guys(whew this is one stinking long entry, i must be feeling nostalgic), so without furthur ado, to SC2 '05, this is for you, to mich chan jas goh kris kwa(yes KRIS KWA, i noe ur watching me type all this out and its freaky to think that now you can see what i'm doing when ur not around), cat lau powey chi ching clarise scandice tan deb wong yamini chinuswami(isit?) steph yeo mu liang caleb pramit boris wei liang raymond choo siew siong ling xi wern marco sumitra val phua ben pooi and sean david vanaisingham: YOU GUYS ROCK HARD

2005-07-03T23:42:00.000+08:00

Hello everybody (:
Well anyways, I think Raymond's given up on getting us all together for a class thing so well, I was just wondering whether most of you would want to go watch Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as a half-class haha. Or any other movie would do, there's a whole long list of good stuff coming out this June (: I'll be leaving for ocip tomorrow and I'll only be back next Wednesday(8thjune) so maybe hopefully by the time I come back, you guys might have some sort of plan, yes?

Happy holidays!

Kristin - Promoted to glory

2005-05-04T19:56:00.000+08:00

i'd just like to say that i'm thankful that God sent such a wonderful and caring person in Kristin Kwa to not just to all of us in SC2 but also those who know her personally. It's her birthday tmr and i'm sure she'll be having the best birthday she'll ever have up there in heaven. Even now as i look back on the times when she was with us, i can't help but realize how much a blessing she's been. Despite being sick, she strived to lead a normal life just like one of us, and that takes extreme strength of character. In her passing away i think her ascension is not without purpose, but God speaking to us in his own special way. I noe that this is not the last i'm going her see of her, and i'm really looking forward to meeting again her in heaven one day. But for now, it should be Kristin, not us who should despair, for she is in a better place, while we have yet to complete our race. Kristin has run the race and finished strong, and she'll always have a special place in each and every of our hearts. We should rejoice for her memory.

hmm

2005-05-04T18:37:00.000+08:00

2004-12-13T22:19:00.000+08:00

hey guys! oh my, time's really flown by, hasn't it? it's only 3 weeks before school starts! well anyways, how have you all been? for one, i've been awfully bored out of my socks(not that i was wearing socks but you get my point) and i was wondering whether any of you guys were interested in doing something absolutely stupid like say, fly kites or go for breakfast/supper. of course, the normal activities like pool, movie and urm, lunch(NOT lan, paul haha) are welcome as well but hey, that's boring stuff man! haha. drop me a message if you're interested, i'm looking forward to some escape from the craploads of homework we've got(i haven't started on anything by the way AND i feel stupid already because i haven't learnt/revised anything all holiday). but of course, if you're looking to do a good deed, just ignore me so that i have no choice but to be good and do my work at home instead. ohwell this post sounds like bull but well, you see what acute boredom does to you...

oh ya, someone do something about the layout please. it's looking old...

want anything?

2004-11-19T21:51:00.000+08:00

AC GAMES

2004-10-17T14:40:00.000+08:00

AC Games was damn fun man!! too bad it was onli 2 days..should have been 1 week lah. and instead of knockout it should have been round robin, so can take revenge for losing. aiyah the sb1 match and se5 match both we lost bt 1 point..wasted lah..but those 2 teams were gd..if we beat them we could have reached the finals for ALL 3 SPORTS..mayb not we would have been damn tired and not be able to reach the floorball finals. but anyway not bad we gave those teams a gd run for their money..the onli regret is tt i got tired very fast and played like crap in captball and didnt contribute much..we should have this next year also lah dun care about the stupid A levels..SPORTS IS MORE IMPORTANT..and i think we'll be able to do better next time with val phua in da house..SC2 will KICK SOME MAJOR ASS

OH..

2004-10-17T07:05:00.000+08:00

hrmz... i kinda liked the green template better than this one.. the words are kinda hard to read yea.. anyways.. congradulations for all you people who have finished exams.. mine are like.. in december i think.. but its less pressure here.. i think.. its all cumulative so i cant slack off that much anymore.. haha and

could someone re-add the comments thingy and chatterbox? its easier to say stuff than just posting all the time.. hehe

aftermath of acwars....

2004-10-16T22:14:00.000+08:00

whew... acgames is finally over.. the so called ac wars was terribly fun actually.. it brought out the best in our class though sometimes it went ugly against certain classes who were sore about losing.. haha..
we showed our sc2 spirit of determination and team work and guess it made an impact on other classes as well who could see how united we were... we didnt even give up on frisbee when we were losing to the last 2 mins.. and we equalised! yay! though we should hav gone on to the frisbee and captain's ball finals for placings due to our capabilities.. we didnt.. oh well.. it's ok as long as we noe wad we r actually capable of.. well done guys.. ;)
and hey.. we won 2nd for floorball ok! tt was extremely gd man... so proud of our class for all our achievements in this acgames.. the underdogs have achieved much more than is expected.. we rock.. thanx guys for tis beautiful memory of our onli acgames in jc..... ;) (unless someone actually wanna b retained to plae again tt is-hehe)

S'pore is so small and its always the same hangouts...

mass ponning tuesday.

2004-09-28T16:33:00.000+08:00

haha...i think today's mass ponning exercise was damn shiok! i'm rather amused that less than half the class turned up for school and out of the people present, another half or so skipped half the day for acsi outreach. heh. i think we should do this more often man! i can see myself ponning double period pe when swimming pe comes around again next year already haha.
well anyways, i hope the rest of you ponners had a productive time at home and that the 11 who went to school had fun :)

How are all of you guys doing? geez, u people seem really bored

hrmz... instead of doing all these retarded stuff, go out and try and get luck =P
I know i cant.. haha haiz i cant go anywhere, nor can i talk to people like i want to here..

firstly, i only can drive with permit, meaning i can drive with my MOM so she goes where i go, so cross out parties and stuff
Second, even if i do meet with other people, my age or older or younger, male or female or undecided, i cant talk to them properly, cuz my mom steals the spotlight by getting to talk to them first for a long, long, long, longgggggg time.... haha

anyways, i might have told some of you.. raymond or someone i think that i might come back in august to visit? i'm not so sure now cuz I probably am staying back to train for nationals, and that i dont really have to turn in my greencard pr thingy in person.. so yea
anyways, my history class is SOOOO boring. i'mm typing it during class now.... he gives us exam questions before hand.. ends up i'm like fooling around on the com (its a com class.. well held in it) and my first exam i got like.. 29/30.. so like.. i'm like.. haiz. boring, furthermore final exam is take home.. -_-'. my english isnt too boring, we have pretty hard essays and my first i only got like an A-.. some korean dude got an A so i'm kinda pissed considering its cuz i messed up big time on punctuation... kinda not needed, and considering everything here, every test, assignment, worksheet, class involvement is counted for a grade, kinda sucky, like, i actually have to do my homework..

I dont even know why i'm posting it here i think i just need to rant cuz i'm so bored here and i dont want to go on msn cuz no one will be on.. oh a good side, most chicks here seems hotter.. i dno they dress better and like.. even at home, and like.. the jewellery and stuff.. hehe i mean, i'm not like.. into peircing and stuff but yea ,and they dont have uniforms so hell yea.. a downside is that everyone is older than me, all can drive, haiz so depressing knowing that your in a class where everyone has their own car, apartment, and your like... nothing.. and my school is like in a white area so like.. everyone is friggin rich and i'm like.. man all their convertibles and stuff.. so here i am ranting and ranting doing nothing cuz i'm so bored, i have a FOUR hour history class, which i study for at home and still get almost full marks, BORING... my classes are boring more or less, i dont really learn from history, or english..i'm taking circuit weight training but its like an open gym so i kinda get lazy on my cardio and like.. i'm getting stronger but not bigger so i think i need more protein but i dont want to damage my liver so i think i'm kinda paranoid... or maybe i'm not buffing up cuz ive only done this for 3 weeks.. heh but i've lost weight.. WOO HOO!! man i'm bored huh.. oh yea and like people here are frigging tall... i mean like i'm an average guy for an asian, a little bit on the taller side but like.. the taller taller ones are like 6 feet asians and theyre like so crazy so hopefully i can grow taller ... man this is retarded.. i dont think i have anything else to say... oh oh umm my dad gave me his t630 as it is triband and stuff so if you guys want to call me.. i am at 1-626-628-6360 and call me on weekends cuz i have weekend minutes free.. hehe OR at night here so its like.. afternoon 1 oclock there cuz i get nightts free too cool huh.. so yea.. umm.. ok ok nothing else i guess.. ummmmmm......... bored.. damn
