As a follow-up to my previous post on iPhone Jailbreaking, I would like to talk about one serious issue of unlocked (or jailbroken) iPhones.

source: http://redmondpie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/3GShitbyikeeVirus_C67D/iPhoneikeevirus.jpg

You have a chance to get Rick`rolled by a genius in Australia. This guy claims that iPhone that is jailbroken is not secure and is subjected to unauthorised attacks. And he created this worm to prove his point. Initially, it infects phones in his region (Australia). But just a few hours ago, a friend of mine had her iPhone infected with such a virus. And she was just paranoid. But I couldnt quickly deduce why that happened.

Some iPhones that are jailbroken belong to people who do not completely understand the implications of jailbreaking. Because essentially, jailbreaking your phone means authorising it to be modified.

Consider this analogy. Apple builds the iPhone operating system as Lalaland, where everything is safe and secure. It is like a closed operating system (OS), extremely resistant to worms or virus attacks, due to the security nature of the code that it is being built on. One day, a hole was discovered in the OS. Apple, to the rescue, quickly released a patch to fix it. But during the window period, some intelligent iPhone users decided to exploit the hole and create a custom OS, hence jailbreak.

So when you jailbreak your iPhone, the OS steps out of Apple's ring of protection and into an unsecured world. Unless more security features are installed, your iPhone is as good as a dummy target for beginner hackers to hack into your phone.

The security features that must be installed immediately after jailbreaking are changing the root password of your phone and installing the pdf security flaw patch (available via Cydia or Apple OS 4.0.2 update)

source: http://www.topiphoneresource.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/p_480_320_179B3950-BCC1-4CD6-A7F2-B60866951782.jpeg

By default, all jailbroken devices have default root passwords. That means all jailbroken iPhones are liable to being hacked by a hacker's chopper unless the default password is changed to a strong password.

So some people who jailbreak their phones and do not know what all these is about will one day be lucky enough to have their iPhones injected with this worm. And removing it is quite simple actually, but the level of difficulty is inversely proportional to your level of savvyness.

A few weeks ago, it was possible to jailbreak your iPhone just by visiting a website. Because someone discovered a pdf exploit to propogate a jailbreak through it but Apple swiftly responded by releasing 4.0.2 to patch it up. Clever iPhone users can get the pdf fix on Cydia. Businessmen and businesswomen who plainly use their iPhones to boast their image and for emailing and contacting contacts just update their iPhones anyway.

So if you plan to jailbreak your iPhone, do take precaution before jumping into modifying your iPhone to a great extent. Otherwise, a worm will modify it for you. And you have no choice but to pull the worm out of your phone. (Unless you just love being Rick`rolled!)

The TRUE Capabilities of iPhone 3GS

2010-08-24T18:51:00.012+08:00

well i thought of writing a commentary on the Apple iPhone 3GS because i would like to share these information to people out there about how wonderful and how not-so-wonderful the iPhone 3GS is, regardless of whether they own one or not. If you do own an iPhone, i believe you would like to know about something you have not known before. but if you do not have one, just enjoy reading. cheers!

The Apple iPhone has revolutionized the mobile world. When it was first introduced, the market response towards it was overwhelming. It was just incredible to see the surge of the number of iPhones you could see around. walk into the mrt train and there is a high chance of seeing a commuter leaning against the glass panel, engrossed in his iPhone. truly the iPhone has many capabilities, as Apple claims. not only can you call, sms and surf the net, you can play games on it and make use of gps to find your way around Singapore.

my iPhone 3GS is the 16GB model. back then, i clearly remember the price of the phone itself to be approximately SGD 1000. after using the phone for a month, i started to get bored with the phone.

You can play many games on the iPhone but you got to BUY them.

source: http://freeverse.com/assets/games/667/528x260_iphonegames.jpg

this sucks. that was the first thought that came to my mind when i saw the price tag attached to the game that i wanted in the app store. no credit card means no games. so i went to check out the free games available. i depended on the "TOP FREE" page to get the fun games. BUT the games over the TOP PAID and TOP GROSSING are even better!

I have always been eyeing the game "ANGRY BIRDS" because after playing the lite (aka DEMO) version, i think its a really good game and 0.99 USD is worth it. but i do not have a crappy credit card account.

so one fine day, i decided to ask my mother for her credit card as i said that i wanted to buy some software thing for my iphone. she reluctantly agreed. hehehe so i went to buy the angry birds app. woot!

and on the TOP PAID page, i saw this really cool game:

AWESOME!!! i love street figther 4 PC for its really cool graphics and game play. immediately i just tapped the BUY NOW without hesitation. i just couldnt resist the temptation!! HAHAHAHAHS.

to my dismay, the graphics were not that impressive but i grew to love it because of its multiplayer function. hehe

but soon after, my mum questioned me about the 18+ dollar reflected in her account statement. by that time, i already knew about how to get every single app possible, for free of charge without using a crappy credit card account anymore so i just assured her that i wont buy anything anymore and its going to be the last time. phew, luckily she dropped the issue.

Now im going to discuss about jailbreaking the iPhone. i dont like the term 'jailbreak'. it has a negative connotation to it because jail talks about prisoners and criminals who have done something really bad. and worse still, breaking out of jail is not legally good right? so i would rather call it, UNLOCKING the 3GS iPhone.

apple does not let you do stuff that the iPhone can do. i think there are a few reasons.

1. they think that the iPhone cannot handle the multi-tasking of many apps due to its weak battery.

2. they want to prevent piracy of apps so that their app store can earn lots of money

3. they just dont let you do it. just like flash player. lol

that sounds plainly crappy to me. hey the phone was bought with a huge price tag and you dont let me do what i want to do with it? hahas okay thanks for creating such a wonderful phone with rich capabilities and wonderful interface. but i dont care about your policies and terms and agreements for using the iPhone. i am going to modify it. fullstop.

well the warranty lasts for only 1 year. what is going to happen after that?

1. iPhone self-destructs.

2. a new iPhone 5,6,7,8,9,.... emerges.

after reading about the features of jailbreaking, i discovered that you can actually restore your device to its latest version via iTunes but it erases all data in it. however for the price of that you get a brand new fresh iPhone software. COOL!

(later i am going to discuss how i managed to solve a broken iPhone)

but some people claim that your phone is going to get bricked and self-destruct. the definition of a bricked iphone is an iphone that becomes unusable due to misuse. so you screw around with the jailbreak apps and your phone K-O. i second that. this is true because i have experienced it before. not once nor twice. but thrice to date.

source: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3103/2674619080_6e7e345932.jpg?v=0

This is an example of a bricked iPhone. the screen just gets stuck on this stupid apple logo and this is more or less the end of the it. either you see the apple logo or you see a blank screen.

basically it happened right after the installation/uninstallation of some jailbreak apps on Cydia. Cydia is the special app store that is catered to jailbroken iphones.

source: http://areacellphone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/cydia-crashing-problem.jpg

the most recent one that i remembered clearly was the uninstallation of MyWi, a special app that enables the iPhone to share its 3G connection over wifi. so you can use ur laptop to connect to your phone's internet connection! i.e. a wifi hotspot. Apple gets totally pissed about this kind of apps.

a major example is the fact that apple did not design ipad to be able to tether iphone's 3g connection.

BUT MyWi bridges both products together!

mywi to support tethering: http://mygadgetnews.com/2010/04/15/how-to-tether-iphone-to-connect-to-the-ipad/

however, i managed to restore the device to its factory state with the help of google and my PC and my iphone was revived with a 'defibrillator" aka iTunes.

so there are pros and cons for jailbreaking.

one of the best benefit for jailbreaking is modifying the theme of your iphone.

for an example,

What so special about this? I can just change my wall paper and get this! An average iphone user might say this.

but i would like to bring your attention to the icons. Do they look different? Perhaps even nicer than the old boring rotten apple theme?

how about this:

How many apps can you fit on 1 single page?

one of the most irritating issue is that when you are gaming and a message comes from someone and you really want to read it, Pressing VIEW will close the game and send you straight to your message. *thumbs down*

so theres this really awesome app called iRealSMS 3.0 and the message just comes right up without inteferring with your games. and you can reply on the spot. but also choose to view it in the messaging app and thus close the game. you can also instantly call the person with a touch of your finger.

Lets see

case 1:

You locked your phone. suddenly someone smses you. you can reply without even unlocking your phone.

Case 2:

You suddenly thought of something and you want to message someone. But you are in the middle of a really exciting mahjong game. you can just simply send a message without closing the game. (for some games, it is a good idea to pause it for a while if you dont want to lose).

case 3:

you are in the middle of a really exciting mahjong game and someone messages you. pretty important message. tata! it just shows up like this. either close it or view it or reply or call. to reply, just tap the the dark blue area.

these are some of the three awesome features of iRealSMS 3.0

Look at my clock.

two things i want to highlight here.

1. I can add seconds to the clock on the lockscreen. good for counting down to the school bell.

2. android lockscreen. to unlock, i have to draw a pattern. furthermore, i can hide the dots so that they are invisible. hehe

or maybe this (my own phone's theme now)

HEY YOU TOOK THAT FROM A HTC PHONE?

i afraid you are wrong. this is a screenshot directly from my iphone. and take a look at my keyboard. no more boring stale silverish apple keyboard. now with really cool and versatile keyboard with lesser typos and bigger icons! woot.

these are some of the features that discriminates an average iPhone and a TRUE (unlocked) iPhone.

to find out more about theme modding, check out www.modmyi.com or google "iphone winterboard".

And the best of all is the true multi-tasking capability.

even iOS4 multitasking cant match up to this.

check out multifl0w : http://www.multifl0w.com/about.php

one of the really bad bad bad consequence of using the iphone, regardless of whether you jailbreak or not, is its thermal properties. when using it at high intensity, it gets really hot. touch your forehead with ur palm. it can get up to 3 times as hot as your head ( assuming that you are a healthy being with no fever )!

From apple's website, http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html

we know that the battery will be damaged under high heat and it degrades over prolonged strong heating.

the fact is, its inevitable. as you use the iphone, electrical energy stored in the battery is partially converted into thermal energy which results in the heating of the iphone. therefore, after playing a game for one hour or so, i will totally stop using it and put it aside in a cool dry place with its cover removed. the phone has its black casing which acts as a heat sink for the phone to cool itself down. the holes where you plug in headphones and the pin connector ventilate the iphone. air inside expands under heat and it might damage the interior parts.

so its best to put it in an air-conditioned place to keep it as cool as possible. nevertheless, its short battery threshold forces me to charge the phone at least once a day. sometimes even up to three times (if i play games in school hehe)

the jailbreak experience has never failed me. each time my phone was bricked, i deem it as a blessing in disguise because the event of restoring the phone gets rid of any unwanted apps or apps that i do not actually need but takes up disk space. so after restoring, the essential apps and stuff that i really want and need would come to my mind and i would re-build my iphone from scratch. therefore, each time, my iphone just gets better and better.

do note that unlocking or jailbreaking your phone truly opens your phone to its true capabilities. the ones that i highlighted are not just the only ones. there certainly are more and i am still exploring.

well thats just a little bit of what i want to actually share. i will continue in the next post! do share what you think in the comments or suggest what i could comment on. Cheers!

Boy i almost thought i have lost track of my blog. This shall be an insightful post.

Many times i regretted speaking out my ideas instead of holding my peace. I like to Be normal. Just me. But i cant just allow the innate behavior in me to control my speech. I got a brain to think. Maybe sometimes i did not think about the implications that my speech would bring thoroughly, resulting in undesirable consequences like discrimination. Thats the topic that im learning in general paper now.

Today i learnt that discrimination is not always explicit. It can be implicit as well, especially in speeches and actions that appear to be normal. For an example, the people that one socialises with, is actually discriminating those whom he could but wouldnt want to do so. Would you want to talk to someone that looks like a freak and walks like a chimpanzee? Certainly not. I donT want to be a victim as well.

So maybe i should try being quiet for awhile to observe how others could talk and still attract people to themselves. There is much to learn. And it takes a persevering mindset that refuses to give in to resistance to keep on learning.

Im so sorry if i have ever said something that was nasty to you. Now learning from the mistakes, i believe there is always hope. And i believe in individual therapy but i do not rely on it entirely. Please teach me when possible from time to time. If i can just receive one tip from every friend that i have, altogether they will mean a big improvement to me.

Ip man is a nice movie. Such a noble and humble dude that remains patriotic and benevolent. At one scene, he felt useless in such a complicated world though he had learnt martial arts. Now i know that sometimes even the great people of this world feel the same way i do. Hence, what am i good in? God knows.

Im looking forward to watch ip man 2 when im free. Tmr going to play real mahjong at friends house and i will be ready for school assessments and canoeing time trials when they come!

Today is one of the awesome days of the year man. actually i thought today would be a shitty day because i had a bad morning. i had to wake up at 5am so i could reach mac ritchie reservoir by 7am. Otherwise the bus would leave me behind...

it was a rude awakening when the alarm clock screamed at me to get up. but thankfully i managed to reach the bus in the nick of time. hehe

previously those people who went for the YOG help out event told me that they got to drive a boat and there's free flow of coke. it was incredible. yoy've got to be kidding me! i didnt believe it until i experienced it today.

i once rode on a Navy diving unit boat before during a course in NCC. and i told myself that when i have lots of money im going to get the bloody license and the boat and drive around like there's no tomorrow. its dam shiok going at full speed.

unfortunately, im suppose to be a boat rescue man which means i shouldnt be creating unnecessary waves for those racing. so we could only travel at minimum speed. zzz

afterwards we were given the job to fish some rubbish from the really dirty basin. dam i caught strange stuff like a fresh orange and a dead fish in a plastic packet. and lots of plastic bottles and twigs and leaves. !!!

oh and of course i met this girl called Bernadette. first time hearing such a name. whom i learnt the controls of the boat from. and got some good friendly company throughout the day besides having tons of coke. dam man its feels good to grip the trottle and push it forward! thats some real burst acceleration~~

although it was pretty sunny all afternoon, occasionally there were large passing clouds that gave us shelter from the hot sun.

and finally ended the day by clearing up the mess and keeping the stuff and of course, bringing home coke bottles in my bag. hehe yippee i brought a nearly empty bag.

i actually wanted to snap a pic on board. but thank God i didnt bring my phone in the pocket. i slipped and fell in to the water while trying to pull the boat close to the floating platform with the rope. this is because my worn-out sandals do not have any more grip! if my iphone still in there, its instant gg.

looking forward to the actual yog event after common tests.

Just a quick little update to revive my blog

Well General Paper is really a pain the the neck and its really hard to score in it. You REALLY got to argue for your marks. Cant argue? Sorry no marks. Boo!

And economics isnt that easy. Man I guess it isnt that easy to port my A1 O' geog to A' econs. everything is purely essays! tthats why im in this essay writing mania school called SA(Essay) JC

and i think the school should rename canoeing cca as flatwater racing. or somewhere along the line. because canoeing doesnt include flatwater kayak racing, which requires paddling on both sides, whereas canoeing is traditionally paddling on one side only.

and I aspire to be like Adam Van Koeverden. holy moly look at this cool video of him whacking and owning

the arms are doing work against water resistance at an incredible speed. i could barely catch up with that speed if i paddle in air. every single quality stroke adds up to winning the race victoriously. and they can kick the boat and yet feel so stable. VISUALIZE.....

i capped in the k1 boat when i wanted to adjust my sunglasses. haix. these dudes could do all sorts of stuff in the boat without capping. time to put on my thinking cap and put my body in the boat and master the balancing!!!

have you ever felt your heart leap when you see something really exciting? i saw a new vision just recently and i understood that the feeling was like. its like your heart feelings just takes control over your brain that feels numb and you could feel your feet lifting off the ground.

sweet.

It was quite a tough decision deciding between the National Public Speaking competition and Canoeing trainings.

Apparantly the NPSC seems to be more worthy than canoeing trainings because Mr Moses said that I am one of the better ones among the 5 and needless to say, he wants SAJC to win the award.

But there's no going back on my commitment towards canoeing. Three canoeing trainings costs me too much already, let alone missing one training. Among the team, coach strongly emphasises on competing who is the fittest of all. Not just physical strength, but the medical condition of the body. Because missing a training due to medical reasons will cause one to lose out in terms of skills and techniques that are covered in the training. The much precious time spent on water will cause one to be more familiar with the characteristics of rowing in the water and thus improve one's skills and techniques indirectly.

Assuming that I do not fall sick for these three weeks, how can I afford to miss three canoeing trainings? I can't. Especially if the coach goes through very important lessons during training.

Even if it turns out to be a rather unusual training like on previous Saturday, when all of us are sent back home for some of us came late, it is a lesson worth attending, and learning.

I really hope I could represent the school in this NPSC. I am quite disappointed to disappoint Mr Moses for agreeing to join because I could not make it for the NPSC appointment.

"...Then I shall take your name out." a few minutes ago

But I trust that there are students in the school who are more suitable to take this place. They are probably even better than me. What is the point of sending a good student to a competition when his heart is not in it? It is even better to send one who is totally committed to it.

People say that Time prevents everything from happening simultaneously. But there are exceptions. Like my case.

On the brighter side, I am looking forward to the Public English Speaking Award in SAJC. I think it is some sort of internal competition among J1 students, if I am not wrong. Since my GP tutor gave little details about it, I think it should be a small scale competition.

I certainly hope it does not clash with my canoeing trainings.

At the end of the day, it's the amount of effort that I put into trainings. I want the maximum number of trainings and opportunities for me to train. So that I can apply my maximum effort too.

Expectations is the atmosphere for miracles to happen. Within 365 days from now, many miracles will happen. On the 366th day, it will be another big one.

Today I went to service with Julia and Weize. Pastor Kong preached a sermon that is especially targeted at those who responded to the altar call a few weeks ago, including Easter week, for them to receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit. I pray and hope that she would be very much familiar with the Holy Spirit soon!

And after service, I served at dialect church. The pastor preached about Pastor Kong's God in Ancient China series. It is about how chinese characters could be derived from bible verses. Interesting! Picked up some hokkien phrases too!

It's beautiful to see how the elderly worship God. Though the physical body is frail and weak, the soul is still the same like all of us. Even the ah pek and ah ma would lift their arms in worship. Just as there are various kinds of kids and adults, so are there different kinds of old people. Got the cheerful kind, grumpy kind, the over-friendly kind, the noisy kind.. etc. The soul never grows old. The desire for happiness burns on forever.

Done my PI for PW.

One of the worst tutorials in JC is a 1 and a half hour chinese tutorial in the hot sultry afternoon. u can just feel the radiation of the heat in the dry classroom.

well at least yesterday's day didnt end with that horrible tutorial. i went for the Life concert that night and it was awesome. the setup reminded me of a service in City Harvest JW building. there's smoke and mist in the air and bright shining lights that stab throug hthe darkness. and some of the songs they sang were familiar. has some distinct Hillsong and CCC influence!

And this weekend Im going for 1-Star Kayaking Course! I always thought of going for it when I was still in the old NCC days. The badge for the uniform looks really cool. A silver frame with a single star in the middle. two star and three star look even more cool!

And this week, I found out from my economics tutor, that she was a businesswoman before but she sold it and now she's retiring already. (probably teaching in schools because she doesnt wanna get bored!). She mentioned that she started at her early twenties and sold her business after 10+ years.

THAT MEANS SHE'S IN HER MID OR LATE THIRTIES AND RETIRING ALREADY???

My Economics Teacher is a Millionaire.

A few days ago, my iPhone got PWNED by a heavy rain. It was the National Junior Canoeing Championships day and I was helping my school team carry boats and equipment. And I left my bag in the open. It was such a hot sunny day. But the weather suddenly turned around and ominous dark clouds overcast the sky. Then it started raining CATS and DOGS.

We were frantically trying to bring all the boats back on shore as soon as possible. Nobody brought my bag back into the shelter...

I took out my iPhone to check its condition. It's quite wet. There's a big droplet of water in the hole where you plug in the charger. Everything works fine except the loudspeaker. No volume available???!

For the next few hours I placed my iPhone in a bag of rice, hoping that it will absorb as much moisture as possible. When I took it out to check it again, the backlight failed. It appears that the brightness of the screen is even darker than its minimum settings. You can't see anything unless you tilt it at an angle for light to reflect on it.

I brought the phone to Singtel, and was prepared to pay the $200 bucks for a swap. But to my amazement, my phone passed the warranty test. I felt a little nervous when the lady checked the two holes with a flashlight. She calmly processed my request over to a counter and gave me a queue number.

It was a few minutes later when I heard the bell to signal the next queue number. It's mine!

A nice malay lady greeted me and I handed my iphone to her. She's got a rookie standing beside her and she's training him on the spot.

"You see the white spot there?"

"err... huh?"

"Ok, see below the wire. The white spot!"

"YA! I see it!"

"Thats right. If it turns red or pink, means got water or corrosion damage."

"mmmhmmm!"

Is it red or white???????!

After what seemed like eternity, she said," Ok see ar, here. For iphone 3gs 16gb.... this number."

Then she turned around and opened the cabinet behind her and took out a brown box. LOOOOOOOOL!!!

She then handed me three sheets of paper to sign. After that, it's done! New iPhone! LOL the backlight fault is highlighted in the paper

Picture (viewable on blog only):

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA how it was damaged remains a mystery... Or Maybe the rice bag turned the red spot white? LOL

When I checked the version of the iPhone, I LOLED

HAHAHAHAH now I really PWNED my iPhone for real! 24kpwn

Picture of iPhone pwned:

Last time, I wanted to buy a laptop for school because I want quick access to information, especially on the internet. But for now, the iPhone is sufficient. hahahhas! Games and entertainment are easily settled on the iPhone too!

I like this video:

Its got cool funny sounds and the storyline behind why the birds are angry is intriguing! the game isnt easy to beat!!

Pigs got tired of eating grass and they wanted to eat fried bird eggs. but the birds are very protective of them, to such an extent that they would crush a mosquito to death for landing on one of the eggs. The pigs then stole the eggs while they were busy killing the mosquito but they were discovered while cooking them. But I couldnt explain the nuclear explosion at the end... lol

Yesterday was canoeing selection test. It was a wet weather. The sky wept as long as the whole day. Visibility was poor and everyone was feeling cold. But the test still goes on. We have to adapt!

So we went for a warmup run to keep ourselves warm and active. We had our warmup paddling from the shore to the starting line. It was really very cold. And the speed boat was still zipping up and down at the other side of the reservoir, creating big unpleasant waves that makes you want to crap in your pants. Everyone managed to reach the starting line without capsizing. We were ready.

Coach yelled, "READY GO!" (theres a 0.1 second delay between READY and GO!)

and we charged down the lane. As I was paddling, the paddling tips that I acquired through the past few trainings came to my mind. The people I do not want to disappoint came to my mind; the people that I want to impress came to my mind as well.

It was tiring. I tried to catch up with those who were a boat's length in front of me but to no avail. At the last 250 metres mark, I felt like slowing down, but that would cost me too much. After crossing the finishing line, my body was steaming like mad. It was so cold but I felt so warm. The hotness and coldness blended soothingly as I learnt that I passed the test.

MONDAY. Get back tests results and the real project work (PW) topic coming right up. AND chiong academics!!

Up and On. Onward and Upward.

2010-03-04T22:31:00.004+08:00

Being the class representative is a fun job! My PW group is made up of decent people. Thankfully... We all want to get our A in PW so we gotta behave like an A grade student. Charmaine is so nice today to distribute homemade cookies for the class's support for her student councillor election.

My chinese teacher is yet another naggy mother hen and tutorials of MT are 1hour30mins omg...

Today's chemistry lesson was tough to understand. Still used to writing 2.8.8. to show electrons of an atom. cant write this anymore. but got new stuff to learn. and as usual, it always doesnt make much sense in the beginning of learning chemistry until you learn further chapters.

economics so far so good. very logic-based and interesting. basically its just a posh way to put common-sense stuff across.

MSA IS COMING SOOON. so gotta hit the notes and put it into my head.

gotta keep training hard. harder. im putting in my best effort to stay in the canoeing team. up and on!

facebook upload pic isnt working well for me. got error while installing the new uploader
-.- zzz

Recently had a family feast at chinese restaurant again. DELICIOUS. right after saturday's canoeing training i chiong straight to the restaurant. omg wooohooo.

just by looking at the photos i could recall how delicious the food tastes.

yuuuuuuuuuuuummy

HURRRRRRRAY

I think I have found the CCA that I want to grow with in my two years of JC.

Seriously, my arms haven't recovered from the aching since the first training. But getting better.

Canoeing is a fun water sport. The coach is yet another 40 years old uncle that has big bulging arms, and talks like an army officer. well yet another simple reason why i want to join, is to prepare myself for NS. HEY! thats the same reason why I joined NCC(Land) in Secondary school!! LOL

SAJC canoeing team is new in the canoeing since but has been doing exceedingly better than expected that probably shocked other school teams. I like to grow together with this CCA so I give two years of my life to it. Or maybe more.

HAPPY CNY!

dam this year didnt get to eat bakwa.. only pineapple stuff. but its really fatttty. im going protein. hehe

h2 chemistry and physics. now i know why teachers are known as tutors in JC. because i really seriously need some 1 on 1 tutoring.

+_+

When i have my hands on a guitar, i like to play guai lan songs and tunes to deesiao people and do funny stuff. for entertainment purposes of course. not to pick a fight. but it sounds likewise!

This guy is one of my guitar teachers. i learn from him. hehe

he can play at godly speeds. uncle uncle still so energetic. omg

my grandmother has a chowchow in her house. friendly. but dont look exactly friendly because of the resemblance to a bear and a thick mane. (looks like permed hair)

haahahahs. tomorrow OG3 outing again. hope more people can come next time after CNY!

2010-02-05T17:35:00.002+08:00

SAJC ORIENTATION IS OVER!!!

There are so many CCAs to choose from in SAJC! It will take me more than a lifetime to try all of them! I wish I could join every single one of them. Sadly, I only have one life to live.

Well I have to make a wise choice of CCA this time round. Should I build an impressive portfolio by joining Students' Council? Or serve God in Saints For Christ? Or join the gardening club or even the guitar ensemble?

Today, the SFC threw a welcome party for interested Saints in making SFC their CCA. And there's pizza and snacks. The people were very nice and friendly. Every morning in LT1, they have a worship session at 7AM. LOL just like Morning Prayer meetings, just 1/4 of the duration.

And if I leave my house by 5.45AM, I will reach Pending LRT to catch the first bus at 6.05AM and reach school at 6.25AM. But if I leave at 6am, I will reach school at nearly 7am. Every morning there's always a traffic jam along the woodsville flyover. =.=

Goodbye OG3. The sorting out of classes was done and the orientation groups will dissolve as every individual goes to their respective classes. I am in 10S09. heheheheheeheee

OG3 outing this Sunday hahas. Thanks everyone for participating actively. Enthusiasm is truly contagious!

Be the change that you want to see!

I AM SO HAPPY THAT THE CANTEEN SELLS DELICIOUS ROTI PRATAAAAAAAAAA!

2010-01-30T00:48:00.003+08:00

SO FAR, it's SAJC orientation day two. man i have never been to an orientation that has THREE mass dance routines!!! I always thought there's only one. But this SAJC orientation is just mind-blowing. BOOOOOOOOOM!

WOOOOT. next monday its the amazing race around Singapore. i have made new friends! heheheheheheehehee. my orientation group leader is called Hang (pronounce as hung), vietnamese girl. and my group has lots of cool people. of different sorts from the various lands of Singapore!

ahhaah the canteen food. havent yet to try all. but the hokkien noodles. 0/10. the stock is crap. but the pattaya rice not bad. but long queue. sushi stall hand roll is expensive but filling. shall try more more more.

everyday to school is via bus 966. the bus will be FILLED with people. the journey is quite smooth along the expressway. BUT on the toa payoh road. the bus stop is just RIGHT AHEAD. but the bus just inches forward every few minutes. everyday 100% jam. its about 10 minutes spent in the traffic jam. haiz. and after getting down from the bus, there's still a distance to overcome before reaching the assembly area. haix and its probably about 1km long.

i thought of what cca i should join. students' council! hehe. or outdoor activities club. pretty cool too.

cant wait for monday.

HEHE!

HURRAY!!!

I have been posted to SAJC!

The school calls for my name. I am becoming a Saint tomorrow. hohoho

Today is also the last day of my part-time work in Raffles Business International (RBI). The company's big event was held today and tomorrow. The invited guest speaker is some big shot guy from China that gives training for business leaders and entrepreneurs. Today's topic was Effective Communication and tomorrow's will be Contrarian Marketing.... very chim.

I asked the bunch of people who work in RBI as sales executive. Wah there's this nerd looking guy that usually looks very nervous. He used to be NYJC Physics teacher sia, major in pure physics. big deal!!! But duno why he come out do RBI. educational institute. he told me that he had started a business after moving on from his teaching job. And it's associated to RBI. After talking to many people, i found out that doing business can really earn big bucks, if it gets listed. "even the auntie uncle cleaner also become millionaire"... you gotta be kidding me.

We went to send Dr Yu Shi Wei back to his hotel after the talk. LOL Guess where he stays. Raffles Hotel. 6 star nia. from outside, it looks like some rotten old hotel that is barely 5 stories high. He showed us around his hotel and his room. LOL everything's preserved. wooden staircase, wooden furniture, brass parts. marble, ceremic. beautiful!! he kept emphasizing that the wood is of the best quality and build.... etc. thats why its so ex. 100years+ years old hotel. man it was like a history lesson around the hotel.

1 night in his standard suite 2k. 0_0!

Tomorrow im going to SAJC orientation! hurray!

heheheheheheheeheheheheheheheheee

today's so awesome... so pleasurable.

that im tired already. tmr wake up 5.30am zzzzzzzzz

2010-01-17T00:49:00.002+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I AM SEVENTEEEN YEARS OLD!

YEAH BABY YEEEEEEHAHAHAHAH

"TONIGHT WANT TO GO WHERE HAPPPPPPY???!"

HEHEHEH

I got a guitar stand for my birthday gift. LOL...

awesome time at expo just now. My beloved cellgroup celebrated my birthday for me and gave me a nice big card. ahahahhahas thanks so much. Special thanks to Ryan who asked me what I wanted for my birthday HAHAS! (I should have said I wanted more stuff like guitar strap, ebow etc.)

WAH SEH.

THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER AWESOME YEAR.

4 Dimension LIVING

1) THINKING.

man. this is really powerful. as you think, so will it be. i find this concept very complex to comprehend. the way you think will certainly cause the way you expect it to turn out, to eventually happen! The various results have been shown before. Just keep thinking and believing that it is going to happen. and it happened. But just let things sail by and just accept what comes by. it wouldnt happen. I don't really understand this, but if Pastor Kong said it is real, I will follow him. that's what pastors are for!!! hehe

2) Visions and DREAMS.

keep visualizing. keep dreaming. Keep the dreams alive yeah man. Keep getting INSPIRED EVERYDAY. new visons. new dreams. the old dreams just get bigger to form NEW DREAMS. i dream of being a guitar player. THAT's not big enough. A pro guitar player. nononoo. WORLD-CLASS SHREDDER OF ALL TIME no.1 guitarist in history of mankind. yeah thats some sort of dream!

3) FAITH

keep believing. thoughts will produce action. keep on believing even though there are giants against you. Go in and possess the land flowing with milk and honey. wow man. God will provide. God will fight the battles with me. I don't know how it is going to happen. Maybe He will snipe the giants using his angel snipers taking them down with a headshot. but just keep on believing in His Word, and His promises!!! Chronicles. The books of 1st and 2nd Chronicles have a lot of fighting stories. If only I could view it in HD movie. wow that will be like so bloody exciting weehaaa! But whenever God participates in the battle, the side that is with God always wins!! I just pray that I am on God's side always. Following His calling, living the purpose that He has set for me.

4) Confession

EVERYDAY I am speaking to myself, confessing that I AM GOING TO ACJC. yES MAN I AM GOING TO ACJC. weeehaaaa. The poweer of confession. the power of praying. these steps are essential for God's promises to come to passssss. NEGATIVE WORDS will cancel God's blessings. SO SHUTUP DEVIL!!

oh man I Must be able to accept and receive God's promises into my life. I have probably been used to the tradition that i am just mediocre in whatever that i do. and the big things aint gonna happen. BUT TODAY thank God that I heard the word of Kong and Darren. there are no boundaries. there are no limits. God is an unlimited God. my heart is open and ready for God to move. I embrace His word. so that when the promises come, I will be able to receive it into MY LIFE!!!

HAHAHAHAHH YEAH BABY WEEEEEEEEEEEHAAA

I just got an Iphone. hahahahahs. kick-ass functions and nice graphics. cooool! But the battery aint cool. it just sucks. sucks really very fast. why improve the phone so radically when the battery is still so lousy!!! i demand the battery to last for at least 12 hours of continuous usage. thats then a really powerful iphone.

"the most powerful iphone YET". ya right. powerful for a while only.

I am going to ACJC. Joseph from adult cellgroup said that I would most likely find my girlfriend there. LOL when that happens I am going back to tell him that. AHAHAHHAAHS

I am thinking of taking 2 sci and 2 arts h2 subjects. i hope that is possible. math and phy. I really desire to take these two subjects man.

LASTLY.

no more "ok i will do it later."

"maybe la. so sian and tired now. tmr. k"

"it will just get better."

Today is the day of salvation. let's go AT ONCE! the procrastinator is the biggest loser of all.

MY GOAL. MY MISSION STATEMENT. MY 2010 MESSAGE IS. Four Dimension Living. Thinking wisely. dreaming and seeing it happening in my mind. praying and believing in God. CONFESSING and taking action!!! YEAH BABY.

I wish to be more musically talented and versed, especially in GUITAR. I have been teaching people guitar for a while. NOW kian cheong taught me some classical guitar stuff. THE REAL STUFF. and boy oh boy. its really bloody hard and difficult........ zzz I must practise what I preach. PRACTICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE is the key. ok man.

ahhh... I am so touched.

I just look forward to the rest of this year. omg chc got their land woohoooo time for arise and build! by the age of 24 we will be moving into our new place! woot!

I wish to serve more in my zone as well. play more guitar. omg as i learn the classical stuff. the hand position really different. i'm afraid that i will lose my guitar skills in blues and strumming. oh no nonononononono. i really hope to get into ACJC yeah baby!!!

you know what. I just love opportunities to show leadership. everyone has the fear to speak up and initiate. probably in JC. ask for people to go up on stage and give opinion. YEAH MAN TIME TO SHOW SOME COURAGE!!! lead the ship. hehehehehe

the game that we played today before cell group meeting started was an interesting game to demostrate leadership. each person has a value of 5C or 10C. men, 10C. women, 5C.

FORM a group of 55C!!! omg. ok so the kancheong people will shout LAI LAI LAI 5C 10C COME HERE. OK ONE TWO THREE FOUR.. . OMG ONE MORE!. OK WAIT NOW I COUNT.... then also have those followers. OMG GO WHERE. ARH THAT GUY SO ENTHU. I FOLLOW THIS GROUP!!!

In ACJC. its time to shine. God has placed something inside everyone. Talents. it's time to shine like stars. BUT! as I shine brightly, I must endure the burning as well.

it's going to be a tough but fulfilling and fun year. amen.

2010-01-13T22:51:00.003+08:00

I received my O level results and overall I am just satisfied with it. Not too pleased with it but not that exactly upset abut it.

1. ACJC Arts

2. SAJC Science

3. PJC Science

I am definitely going to fight all the way to get into ACJC. I signed up for the guitar ensemble audition during the ACJC open house today. I hope I can pass. I better go prepare a few pieces LOL But classical music. I am not exposed much to it. And I can't sight-read staff notes. But tomorrow I am getting private lessons. HAHAS!

I hope my uncle can help me get into ACJC too.

And I went to see Mr lee today with Alson and Feng Yu. We all have out sad story to share with him. It's a private consultation session LOL! Thankfully it was free of charge.

Alson got superb A1s for his other subjects expect his English. And Fengyu got excellent results too, but his English is good only.

Afterall Mr Lee was very nice. He was willing to listen to each and every one of us and answer our enquiries; he gave us his opinion on our choices and advised us too. WOW!

I am declaring and praying that I get into ACJC.

THIS IS MY FIRST SONG EVER COMPOSED and PUBLISHED in my whole life. So please check it out and comment on it!

This is a song written by me to express my gratitude towards BPGHS and my fellow friends who have been with me for fours years of my life. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

The O’ level results are out today
And I am feeling so great! Yeah baby…
‘Cause I’m moving on in life
And Taking steps closer to my dream.

Thank You BPGHS and all of my friends

You have made a big big impact in my life
So I won’t forget what you have done
to all of my dear teachers, I promise
I will do well.

I learnt fours years of my life here
You have taught me to be a good boy (yes Mr Tan)
I’m so thankful that I chose this school
Because this school rocks my socks!

Note: BPGHS is the abbreviated name of my school. Mr Tan is the name of my Discipline Master.

CHEERS!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY MAN!!!

Had such a whale of a time at the countdown party. I should have done more serious planning in order to get the best of the best view of the fireworks! But I say we got the 3rd best view. The 2nd best is at the area outside Esplanade. And the best is of course the floating platform. LOL it was a sea of people there. But it wasn't that bad. Only some areas have narrow walkways that were choked with people.

Oh and the spot where we settled down was where I met a MediaCorp actor who happened to be with his family beside us. Last time, he played as a character in a drama that kept blaming and scolding the government for anything that he could think of. But I do not watch Channel 8 dramas anymore already. But I still could recognize him!

After that, we went to kill some zombies in Paradiz Centre. Oh boy, so many LAN shops were full house! But luckily, we managed to get some seats in one of them.

It was a tough journey back home. We waited for nearly an hour for a Night Rider back to Yishun but it never came. At 4.45am, we decided to take a taxi back home.

Happy NEW YEAR!

I ate bitter gourd with pork ribs soup for supper. Hehe. AND Din Tai Fung for dinner.

PICTURE!

Yum Yum Yum!

2010 is going to my best year yet. It's the first year of my tertiary education and I am so looking forward to it!

Do you know, that empty vessels make the most noise? They are the people that beat the crap about the bush and make huge assumptions while talking. They make silly statements about subjects they probably know little of. Sometimes, I could recycle the rubbish that they spew out as absolute rubbish. Hear only the good stuff. I go home and cross refer the stuff that they say with credible online sources.

Have you ever noticed someone who eagerly, emulously and enthusiastically wants to be heard above every single one else, and is extremely pleased with the amount of attention he/she receives?

They talk loudly and want everyone be impressed and marvel at what they say, even to the extent of lying and talking cock. Usually, these bunch of noobs have little meaning to add into conversations; but ironically, they just love the attention they are getting. Hell yeah man I am giving them some attention now.

When I challenge them to prove it, they will come up with some incredible proof that proves that it's impossible to prove it already.

Consider an empty head with an empty container that has a few small pieces of stones in it. When it rattles, it makes a lot of noise, hence the saying that an empty vessel makes the most noise. What it basically means is that they haven't got a lot between their ears!

Sulfur Dioxide STINKS!

2009-12-27T21:45:00.003+08:00

Christmas is over! It's about time to usher in the new year!

These few days I have been staying out really late. Luckily, I have a place to stay overnight at Yishun: Huan Ran's house.

Yesterday, after service, we went to eat at Bedok hawker centre. It was the usual crowd size and business was just as great.

I ate many stuff. Fried Kway Teow, then Hokkien Mee, then Chendol, then Yam cream. LOL

And after that we went to play pool and eat Botak Jones. Aww man what a pity! I always wanted to try this authentic American hawker, BUT I was there at the wrong time. I have eaten so much at Bedok hawker centre already, so I couldn't afford to eat more...

After that, we went to play L4D2. Then, we watched Avatar at 3:30AM. It was a bloody good movie man. I really dig the graphics and animation of this movie.. It was phenomenal!!!

TOMORROW is going to be an awesome day. Jingwei and Melina are coming over to my place to learn guitar tomorrow. And Jingwei said she is going to return me a favour with her cheesecake brownies. I ate them before and the taste and texture were awesome! I am so looking forward to tomorrow!

AND for countdown party, I'm doing some planning on Wednesday for 31st. YEAAAAAAAH!!!

I received some new visions recently for 2010. I am going to really pick up in my guitar skills and singing. Everything is going to change. God is going to take me up to a whole new level. It would be so awesome to perform LIVE! because it's talent at work!

I'm going back to my primary or secondary school to perform! WeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEE

SINCE 2007 CHINESE NEW YEAR PERIOD, I ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS SONG IN BPGHS!!! (After seeing others doing song items for CNY celebrations too) IT SHALLLLL BE DONE! YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

WEEEEEHAHAHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa

My job sucks. It pays so little. Work so little hours. And it's so far away. zzz

I went to Swee Lee at Sims Drive recently and tried some acoustic guitars.

Wahlao one of the Gibson acoustic. 12k. And the neck is warped. The 1st string isn't only buzzing, YOU CANT EVEN PICK IT. I thought that the action was incredibly low at first; but the other strings' action were medium. I was having fun playing a Tacoma 5k acoustic when a sales guy came in to disturb me.

"any scrach ar, sold ar!"

I didn't like that remark. So I asked him about the Gibson acoustic.

"Oh... we will bend the neck back later."

There goes how well maintained the guitars are there.

I want to get a new acoustic guitar!

2009-12-19T13:10:00.003+08:00

Last night, I had an awesome Christmas night with N380!!!!!!!

It is just so amazing. Thaks Elson and his boss for letting us use the place. The night would not have been possible without your kindness. ^^

There are a bunch of pics and videos that were taken by Shao Liang.

The food was awesome! Samuel brought turkey and I ate the drumstick. Omg its twice as long s a chicken drumstick and it's so MUSCULAR. The turkey possibly runs around the farm everyday. It was delicious. Absolutely tasty turkey meat!

And Terence the chef brought pasta and mushroom soup. It was delightfully delicious! There was an abundance of food so everyone had their fill.

The people were so rowdy and crazy. The videos show it all. The games were interesting. I think Elwin and Valerie did a wonderful job this time around as emcees. They always outdo themselves from time to time. I am so proud to be playing along with Ryan too, who provided the sound system and his really awesome voice. Check out his video covers.

Christmas is coming! Joy to the world!

Merry X'Mas!

ITS PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY DAY!!!

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I just received my first ever official pay today from my boss :$65. MY HARD EARNED MONEY!

After making hundreds of calls for doing a telemarketer job, I finally got my pay. THis is just so awesome.

I am gradually improving in my skills and getting more leads each time. Today, Kiat, my boss, praised me!!! Hurrah!

Sadly, Junyean, my friend whom I introduced this job to, is about to leave for another job that he has found already.

If he leaves, I will consider staying in the current job because I prefer the environment as a telemarketer. The people there are friendly. The boss is nice too. But the pay isn't very satisfying... $5/hr only. No incentives for now. It's only awarded for those who work long terms.

Oh man I just did a few Emaths questions from the secondary three textbook and I cannot believe how easy O level Emath paper was. It's nothing compared to the textbook questions. LOL!!!

These few days I am helping a few of my juniors to do their math homework. Note: I HELP THEM BY TEACHING THEM HOW TO DO, and doing some questions at the same time so they will be motivated to keep on doing.

Pepper Lunch Express. I always thought that it is super over-priced and not nice. You buy raw stuff and you have to cook it before you get to eat. And the stall shows a dumb video of how to do it. But well, after getting my pay, I feel slightly richer so I like pepper lunch express now.

Christmas is coming!!! HURRAY I got one confirmed friend coming! YAY! MERRY XMAS! And I am doing caroling too. WOW it is a tough job. I play the guitar for the singers ^^

Thank God for this whole week's morning prayer meetings. I feel so blessed. Indeed, if you start the day with prayer, you will end the day with victory in hand. At the end of each day in this week, I felt so happy as I have achieved something in the day.

NOW PREPARE FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HUAT LIAO! I am blessed with $200 award voucher for outstanding leadership qualities. EAGLES award. YIPPPPPPPEEEEEEEE!!! My LEAPS points are not in vain!

YES TOMORROW IS CLEMENT's MATRIMONY!CONGRATULATIONS CLEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dreams do come true. They have been coming true for me. How about you?

2009-12-03T00:12:00.003+08:00

HURRAY!!!

Its the month of December already and Christmas is coming!!!

I am so excited. How about you?!

Besides, I have successfully clinched a job.

I went on a job interview a few days ago at TBC HR Consulting Pte Ltd at Anson Road. Oh man I was so excited about it and went there with Jun Yean. I was ready to work on that day too!

So we reached the office and it was pretty small. There was a frosted glass door inside so I couldnt see the rest of the office. Well, the reception area was tiny anyways. Then, we filled in a form and had difficulty doing them. Expected Salary... Job Position...? HUH? I just wrote any. We handed in the form and waited on the sofa for a while.

Then, a young lady came out from the inner office and led us into a room. Boy, it was really tiny in there. She asked a few questions and talked in unpolished English. I didnt expect that. Then she ended off by saying, "Any questions? Ok thank you. When we have a job for you we will call you. See you!"

ANd that's it! We didnt get the job.

Haix I went home then. At Teck Whye LRT, I decided to buy a newspaper to check for jobs in Classifieds. I thought of the few cents that I got in my wallet. That should be enough. SO I grabbed a copy of The Straits Times and went to the shopkeeper.

DANG! I ONLY GOT 80 cents. I digged around my wallet for a ten cents coin. There're guitar picks, keys and odd stuff in there. It better appear!

Finally, I found a 5cent coin. oh boy.

I handed all that I have, every cent that I got to the Indian uncle and smled sheepishly at him.

"85 cents can?"

He frowned at me. "Why?"

"Er, not enough money..." ^^:

Thankfully, he was sympathetic to my situation and gave in. That night, I went through the Classifieds section, called up a few guys and got a job confirmation just a few moments ago. HURRAH!!!

That indian shopkeeper rocks man. If he hadnt given me the newspaper, I wouldnt have gotten the job! HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love rotipraa and popiah and green waffles ^^

I am currently teaching these people guitar.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! TEll me if you wanna learn from me for free too. you gotta have a guitar yoursel!

Happy Graduation NIGHT!!!

WOOHOO

I was nearly late for the Prom Night.

I reached the bus stop near my house at 5.45pm. But the 190 bus had just left! Sadly, the next bus came at 6.00pm. I was so anxious to get there on time!

Thankfully, the bus flew like a rocket through the PIE and I managed to get there on time. 6.25pm!

And I started taking a lot of photos with everyone I could see. Yay!

The food was better than expected. I heard others saying that the food at their prom was bad. But it was really good for me!

There were 3 tables. 1 table for appetizers, another for amin course and the last one for desserts. Awesome! The service was decent too!

Then there was a couple of games. Not lame at all. I enjoyed them, all of them! The emcee did a fantastic job. He must be very happy to entertain an enthusiastic audience as well!

Finally, there was a dance session when they dimmed the lights and blasted music. I just had a whale of a time dancing!

Lastly, I went home. Hahas.

Yihao took HD videos of some of the games. Must watch them! Then, he borrowed my memory card for the rest of his photos after that. LOL. so the photos will be up in the next few days. stay tuned!

2009-11-15T12:08:00.002+08:00

I went to donate blood yesterday and it was indeed a very delightful experience!

Thank GOD that they use anesthetic in the process. Otherwise, the big needle will really hurt!

The injection causes a bump to appear on the skin and that is where the big needle goes into. Lol I thought that the injection was to create the hole for it, but the needle is like a proboscis. hoho

Then they gave lots of freebies like this.

hahas free pills. posting this reminds me to take one now.

Prom night is coming. is it? YEAH!!!

2009-11-13T15:25:00.002+08:00

Well it is the end of O Levels and everyone is partying!

Lot One Shoppers' Mall was never so crowded like today, especially at the cinemas!

Went to catch a movie with a couple of friends who I happened to hook up with just after the last paper. Woot!

And they had a movie in mind which is...

Well I actually saw this poster at Bugis a couple of months back. And I thought it would be cool to watch it. And there I am, in a 150 minutes movie. I have to tell myself that it is a science fiction movie and it's not real; otherwise I wouldnt be able to enjoy all the cool computer graphics and hot action.

Lol there's some really epic action that took me on a ride. A pilot who learnt flying for 2 days only could fly like a pro through falling buildings. Marvellous!!! Some twists and stuff here and there. But it gets quite creepy at some instances. The message I got from this movie is to treasure people as much as possible; and it sucks to have selfish people around. Ironically, because the selfish rich guy didnt want to save the protangonist and his family, they got through a much better way to escape. But still, their actions caused massive disruptions =_=. An extended irony? LOL

Nevertheless, it's awesome to look at the great artwork and graphics of things flying around and waves crashing down, crushing everything in its path. Lots of family and love scenerios etc. But lots of action going on after that. Check it out if you have time. I wish theres a video game about this movie that I can play and I want to be the pilot to fly everyone to safety.

I cleared my table today and threw all of my worksheets into a big bolster bag. It's a empty plastic bag that comes with the bolster. So after loading it to the brim (just nice), I towed the bag all the way to the kicten and opened the steel rubbish chute. I tried forcing the whole long sausage down the chute but it got stuck halfway. Oh man I tried pushing it with all my strength but it just wont go down!

So I decided to withdraw it and bring it downstairs, but it was just plainly stuck! Well I have no choice; the plastic is tearing. So I grabbed the kitchen scissors and snipped off some of the plastic and pulled the remaining bit with all my strength! And I fell backwards and looked at the chute. There's paper all over me, but the rest of it was gone.

Then suddenly I heard the flapping of wings and the thundering of hooves and it lasted for like... 1 minute? I continued dumping the rest of the paper into the chute to keep the sound coming! Man, this major dumping of papers must have killed a whole family of cockroaches and destroyed their homes! Good cleaning of the rubbish chute... hehe. Finally, I threw the last bit of paper left into the chute and shut it.

DONE!

2009-11-12T22:39:00.003+08:00

Tomorrow CHemistry MCQs!

Here are some really awesome Chemistry questions.

I bet you cant get 6/6 of them right (because at first, I cant too!). HAHAHAHS! Check them out!

1. When crystals of copper(II) sulphate are heated, the color changes from blue to white. This is caused by:
A. loss of water only
B. loss of water and sulphur trioxide
C. loss of water, sulphur dioxide and oxygen
D. reaction with carbon dioxide in the air
E. reaction with water vapour in the air

If you get this wrong, you are probably the first of all my friends whom I have asked, to get this wrong!

2. Which of the following reactions involving substance X does NOT indicate that X is an acid
a) X + KOH –> heat evolved
b) X + CuO –> salt and water
c) X + Fe –> H2 evolved
d) X + NH4Cl –> NH3 evolved

Well this should be easy too.

3.
The reaction between a carboxylic acid, CxHyCO2H, and an alcohol, CnH2n+1OH, produces an ester.

How many hydrogen atoms does one molecule of the ester contain?

A. y + 2n
B. y + 2n + 1
C. y + 2n + 2
D. y + 2n + 3

This is a nice question to test your resilience. How strong are you against odd questions?

These 3 are warmup kind of questions only. Now try these. They are as hard as rock.

4. If 2g of hydrogen gas contains x molecules, how many molecules would 2g of nitrogen gas contain?

A) x
B) 7x
C) x/14
D) x/28

Another odd question. Sounds like a riddle to me at first.

5.In which of the following cases would there be NO observable changes when gas X is reacted with aqueous solution Y?

Gas X Solution Y
a) CO2 Calcium hydroxide
b) Ammonia Hydrogen Chloride
c) Sulphur Dioxide Acidified potassium dichromate (VI)
d) Chlorine Iron(II) Sulphate

You better know what the gases act as! If you get this wrong, don't worry. A lot of people picked D like you because it appears strange to them.

Now the ultimate question which everyone gets wrong. (even I)

6. Which one of the following hydroxides does not give a good yield of a salt with dilute sulphuric acid?
A. Iron(II) hydroxide
B. Magnesium hydroxide
C. Zinc hydroxide
D. Calcium hydroxide
E. Copper(II) hydroxide

It looks like some rubbish metals reactivity question. OOOOOhhh so many metals! HAHAHA!!! You just got rick'rolled by the question. Check out your solubility table for this. (if you havent memorized it!)

Answers:

1. A water gives it the colour only.
2. D acids do not react with ammonium salts
3. B draw a diagram of how both substances bond
4. C do some mole calculations
5. B chlorine is an oxidizing agent. B produces colourless products
6. D calcium sulphate is insoluble. so it prevents further reaction of caoh.

I love stars! Today it is Amaths paper 2. Binomial, circles and kinematics will 100% come out.

Now I know why the graph question in Amaths paper 1... why I got so different answers from others. I only realised that after waking up this morning. LOL perhaps I was dreaming about it. Noooooo. my graph too noob. never practise enough hahas. Even the emaths graph also cannot make it.

But let's take a look now at geometrical proofs. This one... the difficulty of the questions can be super big.

Consider a star.

uhh. looks as easy as it is. How about trying to prove it then? PROVE IT!!! You dont prove it, you dont get any marks.

writing stuff like

"they equal to 180 because they equal to 180 (proven)" will not even get u 1 mark.

I am just afraid that the question in the paper would be so hard that I won't be able to 'see' the solution. It takes special eyes and concentration to be able to see the connection between the lines and hence prove a statement. 0.0!

But the harder the paper, the happier I should be; because most of Singaporeans would be going like "*#@$&(!@^%(^!@#(%!#$?!~" at the question and hopefully they skip the question and I would then have 4 to 5 marks more than them. hehehe

Check this out.

Hence.

I want a big chocolate cake today!

2009-10-25T12:44:00.002+08:00

TOMORROW is a big day!

Firstly, I will be taking on the appetizer - English. It will be very tasty indeed, to keep me hungry for more!

Hmmmmm.. KIMCHII!!!!

yuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy!!

The second course is elementary mathematics. It will be something like this!

A PIECE OF CAKE!! HAHAHAHAHA

The third course will be additional mathematics. It SHOULD be something like this

CRISPY WASABI PRAWNS!!!!! (or without wasabi)

DELICIOUS!

And the other courses will come after I have finished these. I must enjoy the foood; i must enjoy the paper. WOOOOOOOT!

AFter O level i must ask my mum to take me to a Korean restaurant to eat. HAHAHHAH!

2009-10-23T18:32:00.002+08:00

Two ultimate questions from Chung Cheng High Prelim 2 AMaths paper. It is of a very high standard indeed.

Can you do it?

Next Monday it is the start of O Level! Let's march proudly to school. This is going to be fun!

2009-10-19T12:14:00.002+08:00

I went to Lotone to study yesterday. I studied 3 things. 1. The food at McDonalds. 2. Dunman Prelim English comprehension. 3. Some PSLE mathematics book.

And I found some really gay questions once again.

I realise that it is a common trend for PSLE questions to be in such a way that you have to unpack the information given first, before you can see a clearer picture that will lead to a simple solution. It is like many pieces in a bag of jigsaw puzzles and you have to open the bag first. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to solve.

Here is one of them.

Can you solve it? LOL answer is 11 units.

I am quite intrigued by these questions.

While I was at McDonald's studying yesterday, I know I saw a korean girl but I did not know that she is from bpghs. And outside Lotone, there are even more bpghs girls selling tickets for some walkathon and flowers and recycling bags etc. I do not understand how 25 bucks is going to either benefit the less fortunate or benefit me. Do you pay 25 bucks to walk a walkathon?

There is some carnival going on every night outside Lotone. There are some rides there like the Pirate Ship. I thought of trying that ride at first, but when I went there to take a look at it, my heart sank. It is so tiny that I doubt I could even fit in it. Kid rides. The amusement park fails to amuse me. BUT there is one nice ride for kids. You enter into a air bubble and you can play around in a pool of water. The kids in it look so cute. They are like hamsters running on the wheel and they will occasionally fall down. But the overall density of the whole bubble is less than the density of water so they will still stay afloat! However, the price of the ride sucks. $6 for 1 in it is rubbish. If there is a shooting gallery somewhere in there, I would play it everyday. hehe. Sadly there isnt any.

Someday I will visit Venice. After studying so much about it, I think it is proper to visit the state, before it's too late! I hope it is still around when I have the opportunity to go there.

And I must go to Korea too. I have to check out the amusement parks there and the food too. I like snow. I want to eat freshly fallen snow from the sky. And dive into a pile of snow. woohoo

2009-10-14T23:59:00.007+08:00

A new problem that Lovell introduced to me. He claims that one of the question in the latest PSLE mathematics paper.

We were at McDonald's studying!

I love McSpicy. But too bad it is really spicy for me. I dont know what kind of spice they use. Unbearable spiciness. I had to take a break before I continue eating it. So this is what I did with the box!
This looks simple doesn't it?

I thought, at first, that it is impossible to find that angle without even a single angle or length given in the diagram.

I then remembered that trigonometrical values are ratios. Hence, that gave me a clue to go about solving this problem.

Try it before looking at my solution.

I used sine rule to do it... lol. AT PSLE level I am pretty sure that I have no idea what sin cos tan are. And hence I do not think I would even be able to know how to solve the question if I were to take this year's PSLE examination. The questions are indeed getting harder! More thinking, less working out on long hassle equations.

Since the middle line is the line of symmetry, we know that we can find an angle using simple trigonometry.

I see a rising sun. We have only just begun.

Happy Graduation Day.

Everything went good. Glad to work with the other three emcees, Wei Liang, Shu Yang and Annastasia.

I am so happy today. I am now part of the Bpian Alumni Family.

Now I am swearing to my own hurts. Work hard for O level. Get a decent L1R5 score. And get into ACJC (or PJC).

I'm gone.

2009-10-11T01:05:00.002+08:00

In two weeks or so, it will be the start of the GCE O Level examination. I am so excited!

I am coming back these few days for mock examinations in school. I want to enter into the examination room with absolutely zero regrets. Hence, I will study as much as I could for this big Examination. Can I do it? Yes I can.

God puts me through the blast furnace, that I may come forth as purified gold. The blast furnace can go up to 2000 degress Celsius.

Are there really true friends? Are they really friends? Are they true?

Proverbs 16: [AMP]

24Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body.

25There is a way that seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death.

26The appetite of the laborer works for him, for [the need of] his mouth urges him on.

27A worthless man devises and digs up mischief, and in his lips there is as a scorching fire.

28A perverse man sows strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.

Proverbs 26:

18Like a madman...

...

28...works ruin.

It's better not to know. Ignorance is bliss. What you don't know cannot hurt you.

It's time to go off and study. Man, I have lots of essays to memorise: Social Studies essays on Venice; Geography essays, and there are about eight necessary; Literature essays on Fahrenheit 451.

On Monday it will be Graduation Day Ceremony. I hope to do a really good job in being the emcee and I wish to set the right mood for the occasion.

Today I felt strength flowing through my legs again, that I may stand up and walk, or perhaps run, towards the finishing line. Come on, let's move on. The people around are just distractions: banana peel, rotten egg, pig oil... We have to get there before the time is up!

Go go go!

2009-10-09T22:36:00.003+08:00

The truth is hard to accept. It is the last day of my Secondary school education. The nolstalgia is melancholic; it chokes the throat; the build-up of feelings is overwhelming. Because the school is like a second home to me.

Today sadly, Zhaoyang didnt come to school. he had missed so much fun today. Fortunately, today's timetable was great because my class could take pictures with the teachers, like Mdm Yu and Ms Rashidah.

Check out the pictures of Last Week at School at >>>here

Today was also the final episode of the Night Study Programme. DA JUE JU!

We did the BP Cheer at the end of it.

I also subscribed to Mr Matthew Lim's Chemistry notes. Today he taught me this, when I asked him a question from a Chemistry paper.

"Beer contains gas bubbles. Why?"

This is close to what he said.

"You see ar, the equacian (he pronounced it as eee-kuay-see-and) is this... ...the yeast in it. whack the ethanol... become this one (carbon dioxide gas)... then bubbles... your stomach not strong cannot one..."

"Whack" the ethanol??? What? 0.0"

LOOOOL

Some really interesting and funny explations from Science teacher. So funny, that its hard to forget! I wish they were my teachers for all the time.

Mr Hisham: "Thermal properties... ...an object takes in heat very fast.... gives out heat very fast too... you eat a lot... ...you also give out a lot..."

Mr Seow: "Temperature of a resistance... the higher the temperature, the higher the resistance... imagine a hot room with fire... ...very difficult to get across... ...therefore you move very slow... ... hence likewise current gets slowed down and so current decreases as temperature increases..."

and many many more...

Tomorrow I am playing guitar in cellgroup with Jungang, without Ryan, for the first time ever.

0.0

Ryan will be going for his Army Service. AHhhhhhhhh.. hope everything goes well tomorrow!

I miss the Taiwan trip. I wrote this during the Sky Lantern Making Workshop. I took like 1.5k pictures so it's going to take a long time to view through them.

2009-10-04T02:28:00.004+08:00

Today was really awesome. We had really explosive fun with sparklers and bomb bags and many more.

Tomorrow I shall do more Mathematics.

Approximately 500 hours left before GCE O Level English Paper.

A big deep blue burden lies beneath my cold icy sea of thoughts. So much pressure.

2009-10-03T01:09:00.003+08:00

Today I found an awesome place to take a nap. The school library! There is a yellow sack on the floor. It looked strange to sit on it at first, but I eventually felt that it was really comfortable to sit on it because it conformed to the contours of my body. Knowing that I have found a good nest to rest in, I went to browse for some random books on geography and read them while sitting on the yellow sack. It doesn't look exactly clean but it is in decent condition. Besides that, there are probably thousands of tiny styrofoam balls in it which really keeps me warm. I am surprised by how warm and cosy I felt while seating on it. That's why I call it a nest. Cosy, comfortable and free! I pretended to read the book while taking a quick nap.

It is about 5.00pm and the library is about to close. Hence, I got up, left the library and headed for the canteen for NSP. Then, as it was still early, I went out of school to the nearby kopitiam to chill.

Today, Mrs Pat Joseph met up with me, Anna, Shu Yang and Weiliang to further discuss our emcee roles for Graduation Day Ceremony 2009. It is going to be awesome. She likes some of the lines I suggested.

eg. let us welcome (the coolest guy ever in BPGHS,) Mr Lee Seng Hai, to address us.

Include the brackets to change the tone from formal to informal.

This emcee job is probably going to be my last service to the school. Let's make the best out of it.

When I come back again next year to collect my O level results, upon seeing my L1R5 score, I would neither be hitting the roof of the hall nor jumping down the building from the hall. I will be still.

THE sun is bright; the oceans are warm.
Light of the world; great is Your love.

Happy Birthday Clement!

Happy Birthday Samuel Leon as well!

UPDATE: Currently I am working towards passing the GCE O Level Examination with flying colours. It is an examination that will determine my future.

I just had a wonderful lunch with my extended family.

Happy Birthday grandmother!

After lunch, my mum and I went shopping at Robinsons and she bought two shirts for me. Additionally, I brought her to Ranking Sports and Music so I could finally buy a capo. The coolest thing ever about our visit is the D'addario strings promotion. You get 6 packs of strings for 39 bucks ($6.50 per pack) and a free 1 pint glass cup that is really solid good!

Conformist = Going with the flow/natural inclination and thus downhill in life.

Transformist = Going against the flow/natural inclination and thus uphill in life.

I am going up to the next level; there is no turning back.

Yihao messaged me out of the blue that his tuition teacher that had taught him for 8 years has passed away and he urged me to treasure people around me before it's too late. My condolences are with him in this very difficult time.

I am also going through a very difficult time too.

2009-09-23T16:21:00.003+08:00

WE'RE BEING ATTACKED!

The teachers have been bombarding papers after papers at me. I don't know when they will stop shelling me. My bag is already flooding with papers!

I have to complete the Fairfield Methodist SS paper by today. On Friday, it will be the return of RK. Lo and behold; here she comes!

This week has been quite a rotten week. I had to swallow my pride and bury my head between my shoulders to apologize to Mr Tan for not attending last week's night study programme. But I believe that the truth will set you free. It's better to tell the truth. When you can tell the truth, tell it; because the truth will set you free, but lying does the reverse.

Mtt 19- 21

19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Before you take your last breath, is there anything you would want to deposit into your heavenly bank account? I'm afraid the only thing you could only bring with you is not your money, nor your toys, nor your friends or loved ones, but only your relationships with God and people.

So treasure every relationship. Hence, life is relationship.

Yesterday, N380 went for the donation blood drive at Siglap South Community Centre (SSCC). Unfortunately I missed the opportunity to donate blood because I forgot about the consent form! I tried to bluff my way through but my conscience gave me away. Besides, I just recovered from a flu so I do not think it is a good idea to donate blood. I admrie the bravery of many people who went forward to donate their blood, especially the ladies in the cell group. That is just so awesome; the men do not have an excuse to not donate blood! I got owned by a consent form.

Anyways, we put up several performances to encourage more people to donate blood. The location of SSCC is pretty secluded and off the main road. Hence I do not think the performances have much inpact on the public, but the residents living nearby. However, it was a form of great entertainment to the blood donors and also a form of information for them; there was a drama that addressed the frequently-asked-questions (FAQ): Is it going to be painful? Why should I donate? I am scared!

Here are some of the performances.

Welcome to Wherever You Are by Bon Jovi.

It Might Be You by Stephen Bishop.

Angels by Robbie William.

N380's Hip Hop Dance!

Just look at that. Xinni is also another sad case; her vein is too tiny for the needle; the nurses could hardly locate it too. Sophia's parents don't allow; Priscilla is underweight.

haix. Ryan got some blood deficiency thing. This is so disappointing. I wanted to be a 16 year old donor. My veins can't wait for the needles! They are constantly rising on my skin surface!!!

CHECK THIS OUT!

I have done my tile, representing BPNCC, for the Bpian Mural.

Great tile. I love it. Thanks to Laifeng who really helped me much with this!

The awesome protruding crest represents NCC's pride and dedication in serving the nation with discipline. The BP NCC tiles are made with a pop-up effect because I am just so proud of my BP NCC unit. I miss trainings; it is like I can't wait to get into National Service!

Yay Xinni acknowledged me after I had wished her a happy birthday last night, at 12.00am plus. Strangely, I received some weird advertisement text message saying about some kind of offer that lasts from 12.00am to 12.30am and I was wondering what this promotion is all about. A "relational, true friend"...

BTW here is a really gay mathematics question. It looks really simple and like an easy nut to crack. But trust me, it has owned many O level students and even some teachers as well so if you want to get owned by this question, kindly proceed checking it out below.

The diagram shows a square with sides of length 7cm. Two quadrants intersect one another in the square. Two lines are drawn to connect the four corners of the square. Find the area of the shaded region. Leave your answers in π

Answer: (49π/6)+(49[(3)^1/2]-147)/4

Happy Birthday Zi Yang and Xinni!

I am now down with a stupid flu but I am still going to school tomorrow: to spread the flu disease! Well more importantly I want to attend class lessons as they are very important.

4X days left to O' Level.

Youth Mediation Forum.

The "Win, Lose or Mediate" is a role-play session of two scenerios describing a conflict between two parties and it was used to demostrate how to resolve it; students were invited to give their opinions. Enthusiastically, I raised my hand to give my opinion and I felt so touched when everyone applauded after hearing what I said. I was then given a free thumb drive by one of the staff of Community Mediation Centre (CMC). YES!

A journalist from The Straits Times interviewed me and sought my opinion on what mediation is about. The article came out on the newspaper today. Sadly, I did not see my name or opinion mentioned in it. I am very sad; I wanted to post a picture of it online.

On Monday and Tuesday, I studied Chemistry and Physics for at least five hours in total. I had plenty of company so it was not boring at all. I only completed a GCE O level year's paper for Chemistry. How am I going to get six A1s at this rate?!

I demand change; I demand growth!

At The Mind Cafe

CHECK THIS OUT! I'm going to try these excuses with my teachers one day!

I went to buy a new guitar with Shao Liang today!

Congratualations Shao Liang! He wanted to me to teach him guitar and I am happy to share with him what I know so he can be a great guitar player one day too!

This video rocks!

Kopi Bing and chocolate are excellent food items that give mood-elevating effects. I just love them! They make me feel more energetic and more happy. I do not mind consuming the caffeinated products to feel happy, even if it is just momentarily.

Recently I have been thinking a lot. If I would insert all of my thoughts under Thoughts of the Week section, your browser might crash. I just can't stop thinking! Can you?

2009-09-03T20:17:00.004+08:00

Very disappointing preliminary results. Nearly every result was below expectations. Even the teachers expect that we would not do well for O levels. (Chemistry)

It is such a pity. There is just this stupid deficiency in me, or perhaps in every student. Carelessness. It appears everytime! It is like unstoppable and I still cannot understand its roots. I could leave the examination hall, feeling that it is absolutely an easy paper, and receive a B3 for it. In this case I am referring to the Chemistry examination.

Nevertheless, I lose the majority of marks in poor understanding of concepts. From now on, I am going to know what the graphs of endothermic and exothermic reactions look like, EXACTLY.

Here are my results.

ENGLISH. This is the most terrible one. I cannot believe how poorly I did my summary. It just doesn't make sense. How could even the legendary Pratyusha of 4T1 get 9/25? Yet, her other parts saved her and she got 75.4% overall. She is just unstoppable in getting A1s! I got that score and my grade fell by 2 marks. Well done. This must be some Al-Qaeda bomb attack on our English summary marks!

Just see this.

I never got that high for paper 1 part one before. I just love it! Stupid summary. You are sick!

Chinese.

lalalalallalala at first I got E8. But got counting error. Then become D7 le.

Amaths.

I am not satisfied with this score. I want a solid A1! I DONT WANT CARELESS MISTAKES ANYMORE!

Emaths.

This is a disgrace. Could someone operate on me and remove the part of me that produces 'carelessness cancer cells'?

Physics.

Haix this one also. my mcq marks too low already. I absolutely cannot make it to an A1 with that kind of MCQ score.

Chemistry

I got 27 for MCQ only. Careless mistakes everywhere. Seriously, if I could retake the paper, I will get A1. I must get Every single concept right on my fingertips! No negotiation! Same goes for Physics

Geography.

Ms Rashidah thought I have given up on Geography already. I have not. If I have done other questions I would not have failed one section and hence get an A1!!! The questions are very tricky.

"explain factors that impede changes..." You don't know the meaning of impede? Your answer does not show any reference to its meaning? zero marks.

Next time, I am not just going to read the question word by word. I am going to read it letter by letter and the whole of it for 100 times. I got one whole question wrong, (worth 8 marks) because I read the question wrongly. I did not address the issue stated in the question.

Literature.

A rather satisfactory attempt. Not many people got very high. But I could do something more about part one. I did not have enough materials to study! It was too late to dig them out already. Oh no. But fear not, I got Pratyusha's legendary 24/25 essay on Montag's change and I am going to memorize that for O levels. No worries!

My unseen poem got 20! Prat got 22! She is just incredible. She takes full Literature and she got 25/25 for an essay on another book! Unbelievable.

I got 18/25 for Montag's change essay and 20/25 for unseen poem.

Social Studies (ULTIMATE)

THAT is mooooooore like it! Prat got 47/50. I don't know when I could ever beat her. I lost to her in every subject.

One of my essays got a lucky score. I wrote the last evaluation bit instinctively, because I have not got any sample essays with the last bit. Hence, I just did according to what Ms. Rashidah said. "Compare two factors, based on the topic stated in the question." I did it and I got full marks. Unbelievable! I love myself :)

I own in SBQ!

Previous exercises I got 9/25, 13/25.. etc. I thought I was not going to do well. But I really studied the pointers on how to answer the skills questions and BINGO!

Combined Humanities automatically A1.

Literature alone = A1

Social Studies alone = A1

^^

Ok now here is the fact sheet of my overall preliminary results.

ENGLISH B3
~~CHINESE D7~~
AMATHS A1
EMATHS B3
PHYSICS B3
CHEMISTRY B3
GEOGRAPHY B4
COMBINED HUMANITIES A1

L1R5 = 14. (12 if -2 pts for CCA)

This is unacceptable.

You can call me Ah Bee already, got getting so many Bs. There are many bees buzzing in my bonnet. I am crazy over my results!

THIS IS MY TARGET SHEET FOR O LEVELS

Legend: -> denotes imrpovement.

English B3-> A1
~~Chinese C5->?~~
Amaths A1 -> SUPER A1
Emaths B3 -> A1
Physics B3 -> A1
Chemistry B3 -> A1
Geography B4 -> A1 (I promise!)
Combined Humanities A1 -> SUPER A1

Check out the coolest chinese chess board ever! WE played chess in class while waiting for the Literature preiliminary results to be released. The Higher Mother Tongue (HMT) teachers are taking a really long time going through the papers in the hall!

Teachers should give out the papers first. I was nearly dozing off while the teachers droned on and on. We have to see our mistakes before we could relate to what they are talking about! Otherwise, are we suppose to remember what they have said? Is it possible then to refer to the markers' report as we diagnose our mistakes? zzz

“There are no ugly women, only lazy ones” Helena Rubenstein. I came across this quote in Urban newspapers this week and went to check on the Internet who said it.

So finally i got my computer FIXed. the RAM was spoilt. I could throw it into the dustbin already. One of the capsules of the motherboard is broken. It might not be able to last for long... It is like a terminal disease of the hardware!

Full captions supported.

Happy Birthday Priscilla and Weize!

and today was quite a crazy day. There were so many events happening!

I went back to my primary school right after I helped loading all of the newspapers onto the truck. I met a few old timers and great teachers; and the teachers all there say the same thing: I must study hard if I am going for Junior College. They also warned me about not being a fool in JC, for the outcome would be devastating. Upon hearing those stories, I felt a chill down my spine. But I am encouraged by their enthusiasm in teaching and their encouragements as well. I met up with the old timers of 6.1 and we had a whale of a time. We chatted with Miss Siti, took photos, and went to a playground to play after our time was up in the school. Mrs Seow had to chase us out!:) Friends and teachers never fail to ask one particular question: do you have a girlfriend or how many girls' hearts have you broken etc. And my answer was always a no, or a zero, followed by some explanation about a conservative like me. ^^

Mrs Seow was so touched when I showed her a picture of the card she gave me on one Teachers' Day, which I have been keeping for years until today. Miss Siti is still as chubby as ever and I just love her smile.

Rhoda Lew, June and Weechong totally TRANSFORMED. I couldnt even recognize them at first sight; I cant believe my eyes when others told me who they were. Unbelievable!

It was overall a very fun day today. Our class did individual cards for our respective teachers. Do check out the pictures to get what I mean.

The results of the preliminary examination will be released, one by one in the next few days. BRACE YOURSELVES!

Add maths A1 ( lousy a1)

E maths B3 (ridiculous mistakes)

Great minds think alike. I agree to this proverb to an extremely large extent. Valerie and Weize had an idea. I had exactly that idea earlier on and I have already started working on it. I was thinking, "should I share with them all, or not?" It was quite a tough decision to make. Nonetheless, I shared it with them. I hope it will turn out good. It will!

Mr Paul said that taking English Language Studies in JC would be good as it is a new A level subject and normally students do well for the first year. I WILL TAKE THIS SUBJECT!

When grace is needed, mopre grace should be given. There is no end in life; I have many challenges to overcome in life.

Happy Teachers' Day to all (including the students!) Happy Holidays!

2009-08-23T00:07:00.002+08:00

well just a quick update for this week. It has been quite a difficult week as there were many examinations and some of them were really mind-boggling. Oh man I should have adopted some time management strategies in the Physics paper 1; I could barely finish the paper! Oh no.

I got really pumped up this week as Pastor Kong shared the story of David versus Goliath in the book of Samuel. Apparently, it was relevant to one of my recent visions.

(On facebook) Andrew Toh: "One tiny giant down today. His brother is still alive. Next week it's the war of the big giants. amths, emaths, physics, geog.... goliath...August 14 at 3:54pm ·"

And he spoke right into my heart. A Goliath could be a dysfunction in emotion; I usually feel depressed easily. A spirit of heaviness could just come upon me and weigh down on me for the whole day. It is like a form of depression that causes you to "spiral down in life". It could also be as simple as "the voice you hear every morning when you wake up" or "words of defeat" in your head. This Goliath is just one big bad ass. He wants to mess around with you, shame you, taunt you, and ultimately destroy you. In the face of adversity, man sees the problem but God sees the solution. Thankfully, we have five stones that we can pick up and use in the battle of goliath. With these five, we can destroy Goliath and his four other brothers as well in our lives.

These stones are smooth, meaning they must have been rough initially. It is through constant erosion of it in the river of the Holy Spirit that it is made smooth. They may be small or insignificant in the eyes of the world, but it is big in God's eyes.

Five stones of decisions to pick up. Each will be tested by time.

1. The stone of the past.

It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, what your background is. I was surprised by Kong's past experiences. They were really shocking. It convinced me that if he could do it, so can I! If God could use David, a guy with an ugly past, for such great works, surely He could do so for me too. Taking up the stone of the past means to remember the great and marvelous works that God has done before in my life and it serves as a reminder to trust in Him. The bad things, difficult situations, tough times are used by God to make David an overcomer in his battle with Goliath. eg. the lion and the bear in the wilderness.

Now, I pick up this stone because it gives me the reason to keep on trusting in God, no matter how tough the going gets.

Wow this is so cool.

2. The stone of prayer.

Praying is communicating with God. The more you pray, the smoother your prayer becomes.

I pick up this stone because it builds me up and makes me stronger so that when Goliath comes, I will be ready to defeat him.

3. The stone of priority.

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness... God has to be first. Always.

I pick up this stone as I want to put Him first in my life. I do not want to spend time withering away in frustrations, worries and fears. I just need to put Him first in my life and do my best; He'll do the rest.

4. The stone of passion.

God invests in one with fire in the bones. I like this imagery. I love enthusiasm. I like feeling inspired. With passion, I can keep doing something with endless enthusiasm.

I pick up this stone because passion makes me a giant slayer. I can have endless zeal to fight on!

5. Stone of persistence.

I got to keep on practising. Though these stones may not be very smooth at first, as I keep using them, they will soon get smoother over time. But what happens when we get knocked down? Surely these stones do not make us invincible. When we get knocked down, we need to get up. Get up. Get up and fight on. Doing it once well is not enough. There is more to be done.

I pick up this stone because I can use it whenever I am knocked down. It is difficult to rise as you have to overcome the gravity of everything around you. And I had been through times when I couldnt even budge. I need this man!

Well these stones are really great. A few more goliaths down in this preliminary examination period and that's the end of the warmup exercise for O -level!

Today I learnt another way of handling temptations. I thought that I could only endure to get out of it. Actually I could just flee from it! Just like the situation Joseph faced when he was alone in the house with her, when he was tempted, he ran away! Next time I also try that. Cool!

Thanks Denise for sharing with me this great speech.

I like his point on work and loving someone.

Indeed I should not work. All work and play makes Jack a dull boy, as the proverb goes. I want to do something I really enjoy. Something that, as the thought of it, gives me restless enthusiasm to do it. YEAH! Passion is my internal engine that drives me forward to where I want to go.

From time to time, I would feel really saddened when love is not reciprocated. Yet I see value in love. I have always been drawing energy from it and investing much back. Man this is a very complicated concept. Makes me go gaga...

Time to go to bed. Tomorrow I will and have to study Chemistry and Human Geography. I MUST GET A1 for both. Working towards it. WAIT, am I working? Am i compelled to do it? Well not quite actually. An A1 is definitely very desirable. Nevertheless the process is not. I am going gaga already!

I want to have a backbone of steel

I want to feel the fire in my bones

I want to be set on fire

I won't stop, drop and roll.

I will keep on dancing, spinning and twirling!

Oh ya I would like to give a general comment on my GCE O Level English Oral Examination. It was a fairly easy passage overall. I stumbled a little bit due to butterflies in my stomach. They actually do not really pose much problems as long as they fly in a neat formation!

The theme was on disabled people. OH NO! One of the conversation questions was on "what is the place or building that impressed you the most?"

I should have talked on something more intelligent, like visiting a kidney dialysis centre makes me realise the importance of valuing life, instead of talking about the smell of FOOD in a shopping centre. How dumb was I.

The overall impression I GOT from the examination is that it is held just like in a graveyard. The atmosphere was dead mostly, though one of the quite pretty examiners greeted me with a lovely tone when I greeted them. So sweet.

I focused on the wrong one. The big, fat and "mature" one is assumed to be the experienced one. However little did I know that the young one is the experienced one, as Mrs Hoe told me as we walked down the stairs after the examination. Oh boy I was the second last guy. It was quite a long wait but I spent the time reading a vocabulary book that has idioms and proverbs as well.

I am expecting a distinction! The young one, however, did make some "oohs" and "aahs" while I read the passage. Mrs Hoe said that she probably enjoyed my reading, hence I need not worry so much. Yippeeee!

TATA!

Happy birthday Valerie!

Check out the pictures of my dog! My dog dreams dreams. Wow. I was amazed, totally. She has been dreaming, even until today. Just now I heard her making soft sounds and saw her body twitching at certain parts like her nose and her legs. This must be Rapid Body Movement (RBM) in dogs! I wonder what she sees in her dreams.

Every single person has a talent. At least one. Well I do not think my talent is very spectacular. I am not some world-class stage performer or a genius in mathematics. But I want to help others achieve their dreams through their talents. I do not mind using huge amounts of efforts to help people; seeing them happy makes me happy as well. It's love and passion that makes me want to do this. Perhaps I have been too devoted in the spiritual realm. It's time to serve people fervently. I am doing Clement's Teachers' day Card! Thinking of ideas. Thinking of breakthrough ideas. All things are possible! I am lacking materials but I hope I could find them at an art store.

I never imagined others would stop and think about what I said. Joseph said that he contemplated on what I advised him about saving money on one occasion. He was quite fed up because he did not have enough money to eat at the foodcourt and hoped that others would sponser him a meal. I never thought words could be so powerful. Now I have seen it. God also used words to create the world.

I feel a big burden. Time is Nature's way of preventing everything from happening at once. Is it all worth it? Am I doing something for nothing? Nevermind, what I have set on doing, I will finish it. There is certainly a way to go about doing it. I just need more ideas...

2009-08-12T22:25:00.004+08:00

WARNING: If you want to try this, do it at your own risk (though it could be 100% right). I shall not be responsible for any damages caused by using the method below. By reading it below, you agree to this warning statement. Have fun!

PLEASE study as much as you can for your examination(s). :D

HERE is the HIGHLIGHT OF THIS POST!!!

After doing some mathematical calculations, I suddenly felt the enthusiasm to post a big post on my blog.

PROVE that one theme of what you studied will surely come out in the paper if you study three themes out of five themes for Social Studies SEQ.

Let 1,2,3,4 and 5 be the topic numbers for Social Studies SEQ.

i.e.

Understanding Governance,

Conflict and Harmony in Multi-Ethnic Societies,

Managing Internation Relations,

Sustaining Economic Development

and Facing Challenges and Change.

What I did is to list out ALL of the possible combinations for these topics. Three questions will be set for the paper. Each question is unique; it encapsulates one theme.

Hence, I calculated that there are 10 possible combinations.

I crossed out the combinations that were the same, regardless of the arrangement.

Then, the next part is pretty simple. Calculate the probability.

So far I only studied 25% of one theme. I have to cram all of the information of three themes in my brain by this Friday! Otherwise, I could take the gamble of studying one theme only. 60% chance. The most sad event, if you study two themes, is the combination of three different themes coming out in the paper. This is most unlucky event ever!

Thus, I have proven that studying three themes can 100% guarantee you a 25/25 in SEQ,

assuming that

i) you can memorize ALL possible SEQ model essays for three themes completely
ii) you can complete two essays in the limited amount of time.
iii) your memory is 100% effective and in good working condition during the examination
iv) your handwriting is perfectly legible
v) you do not violate any examination rules

Maybe there is more assumptions needed to be made, but this is as much as I could come up right now.

Alright, I am going off to study the Managing International Conflict theme now. Tell me what you think of my working.

The English preliminary examination was really very difficult. The vocabularly question was a hard nut to crack; I could hardly find any clues behind the word meaning in the passage! The questions are not that simple as well. Oh well.

Huanran and Weida came to my house to play and study yesterday and today. We did the latter to a somewhat small extent... But we did discuss this probability question!

Huiling, Elwin and Jungang's birthday celebrations.

Happy birthday!

Today I learnt that the behaviour of an individual's hands is part of the body language. I read in the newspapers a few weeks ago in Mind Your Body, that 55% of what an individual wants to communicate is done through the body language, believe it or not. For example, shaking hands is an attitude of friendliness; folding your arms and placing your palms flat is an attitude of apathy; waving your hands ia an attitude of likeness. These are just some of the actions people normally do. Wow, reading someone's body language can actually tell you how the person feels truly. I do not think one can totally control one's body language; it is very hard to do so as it would be very unnatural and uncomfortable. Just think the right thoughts and I believe the body would react correspondingly.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!

These few days I am going to spend the time drilling social studies essays into my body. I will push it right down my throat, digest it in my stomach and make it run through my blood through my fingers. Then, I will be able to reproduce it with a pen. I must score an A1 for Social Studies!

"Let's do this!" Zeus

Recently I have been owning in DOTA with Zeus. Sometimes I scored more than 10 kills without dying and it is such a thrill. Yesterday, I also played a friendly match, with my friends, against a group of boys from 4A. It is only through the game that I realised, it is a Chinese VS Malay game. However all of us had fun and in the end, we won! I played Zeus. ^^

My National Day holiday will be spent on studying. What a pity.

2009-08-09T00:32:00.002+08:00

NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATIONS photos. Check out the captions.

It was a wonderful parade. After that there was a great time of revelry; everyone danced like nobody was watching. The floor was totally on fire and people were dancing. I was quite shocked when Mr Lee encouraged everyone to dance to the music. He likes dancing too I suppose. By the way, I have got a picture of me and him. Hurrah!

The reading of the recollections was good. It was my last service to the school as an NCC cadet. Personally, I feel very sad and I am going to miss all of the times that I served the school. Sigh...

2009-08-06T21:51:00.003+08:00

Today is an awesome day!

Firstly, I want to mention the girl who sits beside me in class; she is Nadiah. Today, she told me that it is because of her sitting next to me in class that caused her to improve in her English language. "Now, I am checking the dictionary for words that I am unsure of more frequently," she added. She also said that in the past, she sat beside Tiara, who is also very good in English, but Tiara talked all the time. Hence, she just did her own work. I am so amazed that I have had impacted someone; Never had I heard such words from somebody. Sadly, the year is coming to a close and the big giants of the GCE 'O' Level Examinations are closing in too. I wish I had impacted more people in my class.

Finally, during the Night Study Programme today, a few boys in my class discussed about the behavior of Ming Jun and Zhao Yang and we all believe that they are really a pain in the neck. In fact, I think they are an absolute abomination. (AAA)

Tomorrow is going to be a big day. It will be my first and probably the last time that I am going to read the recollections for the National Day Parade. My last service to the school in my NCC uniform. I learnt much today from Mrs Lim as she taught me how to read with expression so as to communicate the whole mood of the poem to the whole school. I hope that my voice is good tomorrow; I shall have a good night rest so I can roar with life then. Look out for the photos in the BPGHS facebook account. One of them will most likely include me!

Anyways, once again I thank Mrs Hoe for triggering a change in me; I am no longer blogging in rotten English, but in a decent manner. Kindly leave a tag on my tagboard as it is very much appreciated.

Please do this survey to help me improve my blog. I know that there are many pictures and posts on this page and I am trying to fix it. Thanks

On average, how long does it take for you to fully load all the features of my blog? (Pictures, Music, Posts etc)

Today marks the 20th Anniversary of City Harvest Church. Whatsmore, this weekend is also the Festival of Praise (FOP). Both major events were held in Singapore Indoor Stadium (SIS)!

Overall it was time well-spent on this weekend. I went to study with Jungang on Saturday afternoon before we head down to SIS for FOP, from 7.30pm to 10.30pm. On Sunday, we started queueing at 7.45am for the 20th Anniversary Service and then it started at 9.00am. The first service lasted until 11.00am; the second service started at 11.30am and ended at almost 3pm. Luckily I managed to smuggle my apples past the guards so I got something to eat during the break. Through the services, there were lots of fireworks and performances and videos to bring up the whole atmosphere of celebration.

Going back to SIS draws back the memories of my Singapore Youth Festival Opening Ceremony Guard of Honor experience.

This is an old video taken by Samuel. Thank goodness that he came down together with other guys like Elwin to support me; I'm still grateful till this day.

Note: I am the guy on the extreme left of the video, first person. That's me, the right marker of the contingent. I just love the deep bass sound of the drum rolls accompanied by the wind instruments. There are also other videos under 'N380memories' that show different parts of the parade.

Part 2: Can you see me?

I am just so proud to be in this event!

THe days to the Preliminary Examinations are numbered. I am going to spend most of my time studying already. Therefore, my blog posts for this period are also numbered.

2009-07-31T23:39:00.002+08:00

WOOOOOOOOOo

I did not know that Ms Chew had visited my blog some time ago, until she told the class that she saw photos of some of us carrying out some business unknown to her during a chemistry lesson in the laboratory. She did not cite the source, but when she said that, I instantaneously thought of the pictures that I took of Zhao Yang on one occasion in the chemistry laboratory. Precisely, it's the chemistry experiment where you need to immerse a measuring cylinder into a beaker of water. That's it!

Today, during the night study programme, Mr Tan announced over the Public Announcement (PA) system that it was break time and the food had been prepared. He also added that next week it will be the grand finale of the night study programme, so there will be plenty of food. This is absolutely great yummy juicy news. I just love to hear that!

Additionally, Ms Chew came into class a while after the programme started and she sat down to mark her students' work. Then, after having our break, we went to chat with her and asked her many things that are mostly irrelevant to our work. She then told me that she had went to my blog and saw lots of stuff.

After the break, I went for another round of oral examination with Mrs Hoe. I got the same picture as the one I got for English Mid-year examinations last year; therefore it was quite an easy test for me. However, Mrs Hoe nagged at me again about my blogging habit as she believes that I have great potential to score an A1 for English. However what is holding me back, is the style of how I blog and communicate on-line, as she had noticed. (So actually, she reads my blog as well!) Hence, she advised me to cut down on ungrammatical blogging or to stop blogging. Knowing that the latter is not possible for me, I decided to do grammatical blogging from now on, observing the rules of the English Language and styles of writing so as to form good writing habits.

Therefore, I extend my apologies to anyone out there who appreciates the 'stream of consciousness' writing style. From now on, I only permit myself to publish grammatically accurate posts on my blog. Perhaps there would be an exception for picture captions. Nevertheless, I shall stick to the grammar rules of the English language. Instead of expressing my feelings with "!!!!!, HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA, GRRRRRRRR, :( :) :D, etc...", I will do my best to employ literal devices and techniques to convey similar meanings.

2009-07-08T17:00:00.004+08:00

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

Last friday, teacher let all of us whip out our handphones to do a recording of our reading aloud exercise. hehe and i used my camera to do the job. but cant seem to take audio only, so took it with the video, putting it on the table and the lens pointing to the torso only.

and the result turned out to be very good! Although i cant seem to rename the file after i transfered it into mrs hoe computer, she managed to did it yeah! and she showed Brandon's one to the whole class... coz his register number is 38 while mine is 39. so his appears first to her, in another folder... kekekeke. its a really funny video coz can hear some nonsense sounds from zhaoyang and gang. chuckles giggles laughing, bunch of noises. they were really noisy during the recording, but still Brandon's voice was dominant.

and cool, finally after 7 hours of hardwork, 6hrs straight for designing the card, and 1 hour for painting it with oil pastel, the paint job....

i took approximately 2 hours to draw the sketch.

and the rest of four hours to put in the pins and cut and paste blahblahblah.

.

and the end product.

ur looking at 7hrs of hardwork.

at first, when i got the idea, i got really really really excited. woohoo. i suddenly remembered Ryan's birthday.... cant be celebrated during the weekend coz busy sia, decentralised services + a taste of freedom. so sad sia... oh ya, on Sunday also went out with him to guitar grocery. walk around guitar shops and talk and then we went to Illuma at Bugis. wow man someday im going back there again to check out the huge mega lanshop there and the great dam good food!

I GOTTA TRY THE MANHATTAN FISH MARKET TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

.

ok so continue on Ryan's birthday.

in the morning when i woke up at 10am+, from my bed i stared at the dull looking card. i thought

Am i gonna give this piece of crap to Ryan, as a birthday card?

because it looks, at most, 65% like the real thing. and i feel quite sad. maybe i should just dump it and do some random card.

but i decided not to, as i looked forward to do the paint job. after i done it, it loooks quite pleasing. but still difficult to get rid of the white patches here and there.

and finally added the tag

Fender 23 Anniversary Ryan Wong Stratocaster.

his 23rd birthday. i made an error. should be RD, not TH. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

and it looks somewhat identical to his real genuine fender american standard strat 3tone sunburst.

glad that some people say very nice. except peien who said how come got white patch here and there and why got 3 colours... uneven one. and why never use paint. -.-

but later on Ryan smsed me ans told me its the most beautiful card he had ever received! omg man efforts paid off. and i told peien and she also finally said that it was a nice card after all and she's not gonna edit it. just hopes that she can protect it until saturday when we gonna give it to Ryan.

after dining with them, the leaders and future leaders went for leaders' meeting, including ryan. so gotta keep it for him until saturday then give him.

and yay, im starting to like durian. actually i kept telling myself that durian sucks and the smell of it beats me upside down. but until i tried it, i never knew. but now currently, still neutral towards durians. are they really that nice...?

last time my family will eat durians in the kitchen, put newspaper on the floor and have a durian picnic while i go play computer. my mum says that durian goes well with mangosteen, reduces heatiness in the body. cool, i ate some of them recently. i just find the crimsom red husk, abit bloody disgusting. but the taste of the seeds is nice. just dont look at it after u spit the big seeds out. looks like raw meat. yuck!

.

wah sia lah the bento box in jurong point. very zzzzzzzzzz. the food came really fast. like 2 to 3 min lai liao. LOL WHAT?!

japanese restaurant leh. but must go the counter and order the food. $10++. the price never count GST sia...............

this one, $10.60 cold hard cash. zzzzz

the rice. cold. the fish. chewy chewy one... yeee. the pork. okay. the soup. 100.00 mols/dm^3 of miso. super concentrated. and they gave a pathetic amount of kimchi.

....

this is ryan with his new guitar!

actually i had the idea to make the knobs turnable. by installing more stuff. but i was real tired and exhausted. no idea how to do it liaos. the installation of pins and paper clips... all need ideas one leh. some came suddenly while i was doing...

Finally, ended off the day at mcdonalds. sundaeeee.

i just bought these donuts just now. for supper and breakfast. yumyumyuymyuymyyuymyuymyum.

2009-07-05T11:40:00.002+08:00

Night Study programme was good. lots of food, but no aircon. thats one thing that puts me off... A^2 programme still better.

and of course, 1st ever decentralized zone service.

The Talent is You. that could be a nice name for the service.

and the makan mania after that. A Taste of Freedom.

makan mania season 1 is still the best... this one abit disappointing.

dam man. Each One Reach One. yet still got people say not enough, not good enough, not doing good enough.

lol at the last station, the bus dropped us at some weird place, that we have to cross a busy road to get across to esplanade. then went home straight with huanran. zzzzz

God gave me an injection last night.

lATer going to the library to shred some studies.

Ok so mothertongue gce o level orals next thursday. gooooood luccccck.

2009-06-30T17:38:00.002+08:00

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom

An explosion just happened.

bang. my house is like a graveyard. even if i step home with full of inspirations and motivations, i will be drained of it. devoid of life, so hard to study...

dont care about this graveyard. i think i go library better. but after that, must go to mcdonalds and grab some fries and ice cream ^^

three shocking events that struck me like a lightning bolt from Heaven. bizzzzzz buzzz bizz.

Last night I read about the awesome story of David pwning Goliath's ass. lol. i digged up my blog archives and found the message that Darren preached about it before.

woooooooooooooooow. An Epiphany.

There is no time for emotions in battles.

2009-06-29T19:43:00.002+08:00

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam.

well at least some thumbsup today.

tuan gave me a pack of sesame gum. delicious. very healthy for the teeth and the jaw, makes you wanna chew even more and more of them.

2009-06-28T12:55:00.002+08:00

Last week of June holidays already. cool

H1n1 cases rising each day.

going back back back back back to schoooool. zzzzzzzzzzz

to face the wrath of the teachers. aiya.

next week gonna have decentralized services and also makan mania again weeehahahahahahahahhahhaa. hope can bring some friends along.

dam man ever since i tried a martin guitar at citymusic, my maestro never sounded the same ever again. makes it sound bad.... wah when i tried the martin, lol the sound is so awesome. the top wood vibrates so willingly and it is just fantastic. every string can be heard clearly. but the weird thing about that piece of martin i tried is that it is made of solid spruce but laminated roseback back and sides. weird. and its made in mexico too. lol, so its a low end model of martin guitars. i think the standard series of martin guitars will blow me away.

sian la 4 weeks nocellgroup meeting. looking forward to the next one when can play guitar in cell group with ryan.

my sister has officially moved back home. but still she feel at home. still go out late at night and come back at some unknown hour. but i think she only move back temporarily.didnt really unpack her stuff. but i saw her apple mac, thankfully its still in good condition.

and today serving once again in dialect church. havent went there forawhile already. like CIP nia, help elderly pple. i hopei dont get the toilet job again. stand at the toilet for 4 hours very sian.

Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The Life. walk The way!

timebomb

2009-06-24T21:05:00.003+08:00

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI

YIKES!!!

H1N1 is a DOUBLE EDGED SWORD!

LOL CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???? I CANT!!!! HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHH!!!

the NCC camp is cancelled due the H1N1. the school say one. wahlao issit the school kena H1n1 or what. ???! THIS WHOLE WEEK NO CCA NO TRAINING NO STUDENT ALLOWED TO GO INTO THE PREMISES. except security guard I guess?

ok thats one REALLY good thing, that H1N1 killed. im actually looking forward to the camp.... coz i planned the games HAHAHAHA!

and

One really BAD THING that H1n1 Killed, is the PHYSICS REMEDIAL. HAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! NO MORE BORING 2HR30MIN PHYSICS REMEDIAL. TATA!~

haix

today, one maestro kia called me and said guitar ready for collection liao. wahlao previously another guy whom i registered with, told me that they will call before doing anything. NEVER SIA. zzz but nevermind, i hope they fixed the machine head. lol the maestro kia on the line, like some malay zapo, very enthu one. and i asked her what colour the screw of the 6th string machine head is. she said its chrome! MEANS ITS NEW!!! and she said $48.80. WHAT THE HECK???

$8.80 for restringing. actually i expected some charges for fixing the machine head. I REALLY hope it doesnt drop out again when i restring, which would be really soon, coz the new d'addario strings on it wouldnt last for a month. if it does, lol the maestro gonna get it from me. but ok la. haix. the website says fullsetup includes new string. duno what sia. maybe the $8.80 is the price of the string. WAH LAO SO EXPENSIVE???!~

i go buy other shop $7.50 nia.

so $40 for full setup, intonation string action nice soft and low for 0.12 gauge, and $8.80 for the price of d'addario phospher bronze 0.12 gauge strings. and no charge for the machine head.

hehe just the damn screw that doesnt fit into the wood. maybe they used a bigger one or something. or used wood fill. duno.

tomorrow gonna get it from them. they do sloppy, they get it from me. ^^

H1n1 is like knocking on everyone's gate already. i better go lock my front door first. actually what so scary about H1N1?

I AM REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY SCARED ABOUT IT.

because it would bring tons of homework, if it strikes at full blast.

zzz

finished some homework crap today. the online maths homework. luckily is mcq. all random, all fail. gimme some paper and i will do it.

hehe got 2 pieces of literature homework to do. i did it coz i could type it out and print. easier to be typed than written.

i done the first 1. the 2nd one, more tough. hehe i just sealed a pretty good deal with Debbie, one of the sons and daughters of ALbert Einstein in the school. she didnnt bring home her Mining for Meaning, literature textbook so she didnt manage to complete the first one, which is a poem. i done that liao woohoo!

the 2nd one is a prose. that out tough sia. the poem is a past N lvl paper while the prose is a pass O lvl paper. big difference in difficulty you know! so i smsed her.

OK, how about this, i email you the text plus my answers, you email me your answers which you have done for the prose. ( she said she done it when I asked her what stuff she had done for literature holiday homework earlier on.)

and

DEAL!!!

KEKEKEKEKEKEKEK

its good to work together laalal.

now messing around with barn buddy. lol i just leveled up not by harvesting crops, but by weeding and bugging! wenxi is now my barn buddy. he plants many weeds and bugs, i clear them and get exp for them. and i do so for him. so its good to plant weeds and bugs after all! of course theres some stupid cap to it. WAH IF DON HAVE AR, by now i level up by 100 times liao.

reached daily limit. but strangely, after 3 hours, can start again sia!!!

heheehhe so 3 hrs is the cool down time.

wanna be my barn buddy? i can help you plant many many bugs and weeds. in just one second. use what? use my finger, my mouse and an autoclick program. just move my cursor around and let the software do the dirty job. lols.

today i learnt a new song. this song really stirred up my passion in playing guitar. sadly it isnt a very popular song, couldnt find a good version or cover of it on youtube. if you have, please send me!!!

its Shout Hallelujah by Seam of Gold, Hillsong. one of the songs that David Holmes and Andrew Naylor would play when they come to CHC.

but thankfully, guitar4christ got the tabs.

i found just one pathetic video on youtube with really crap quality of the song. but still can hear la. lols.

i favourited it because i scared later i cant find it again. nice song hor?

the tempo quite hard to catch. about 155 beats per minute nia. and i played power chords all the way, until my wrist ache abit. but after awhile the ache wore off. and wah thank God for www.chorderator.com to check out those funny chords.

i still dont get that is the + and - signs after a chord. will ask Ryan tomorrow when we go for THE GRAND FINALE OF SONG OF SOLOMON WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

i wont be missing it. THANK YOU H1N1 for killing the NCC camp. but sigh. all that i have planned. sad for those who bought the food already. they can go home and enjoy it.

IM GONNA WATCH TRANSFORMERS 2 IN THE CINEMAS. i told myself, NO DOWNLOADING OF THIS MOVIE. why download a movie that its previous sequal is so good , and view it with crap quality on my computer? it usually takes a month or so, for dvdrips to appear. but before that happens, it would be camera rips or telesync, which gives really crap wuality. even the best video camera cant do the job.

so i decided to pay below $10 to watch transformers on the BIG SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!

i watched dragmetohell with telesync quality. didnt really enjoy it. the colours were mismatched, but some parts are ok.

and lol the plot is so dam ironic. lol lol lol. i actually got fooled by the irony of the movie. thought its gonna be some dumb horror movie that is predictable. but the plot writers are pretty clever. they directed the movie as well. lol some parts, i thought that the person is so stupid to go and search for the what is causing the noise. and aiya, sure got some scary crap that is going to splat on my screen at any moment. ahahahs but the irony at the end of the movie, makes up for the rather boring events.

pretty decent. hhehehe.

2009-06-22T14:58:00.002+08:00

I WISH I WISH WITH ALLLLL MY HEART, IN THE NAME OF H1N1 AND BY THE POWER OF THE H1N1 VIRUS, MOE GOOOOOOOO EXTEND THE HOLIDAYS FOR 1 WEEK, A HUNDRED WEEK, MULTIPLY THE HOLIDAYS A HUNDRED FOLD!!!.

2009-06-15T20:10:00.002+08:00

WEEEEEEEEEHAHAHHAHHA!!!

FIR ROCKS MAN I JUST LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THEIR SONGS. and the AH QING. GUITAR HERO!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOO

with his les paul, omg he rocked the whole stage down. and the fly awway solo. is just WICKED SICK!!!!

CHECK THEM OUT!!!

FIR THE BEST among all the other CELEBS. THEY KICK ASS!!!!

and had another satisfying time at CARL'S JR. WHOOOOPPING $13 meal with uber large burger and drinks fries maxed to the largest. YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

today qingyu and xinni came my house to play guitar. omg man i 100 years didnt touch a classical guitar liao... then i forgot how to restring the nylon strings. in the end too short. jialak sia. tmr have to go buy another pack. zzzz I SHould have known.... haix. i thought using the way Ryan taught for acoustic and electric would work for classical. but it didnt zzz.

and lol xinni's guitar is as fragile as china and most likely is made in china. zz from my memory i thought hers is acoustic. then i went to buy daddario phosphor bronze strings leh!!! crap la, kind of wasted as the strings wont sound as good as it should on a cheap china guitar. the whole guitar is like made of glue. lol so much glue in excess. inside and outside. lol see liao i wanna use it to whack the floor. nevermind, let her use singapore maestro guitar or mexican stratocaster, the real good stuff.

wooh i found out that maestro offer setup services for 40 bucks for maestro guitars!!! YES ITS ABOUT TIME THAT I SHOULD LOWER THE ACTION OF MY GUITAR. its really way SKY HIGH, and you cant last for hours playing it. dam!!! i wan it to be nice and low action... WEEHAHAHAHAH. but i hope the 40 bucks would motivate them to do a decent job. otherwise i will use xinni's guitar to whack their face.. but must wait 3 to 5 days sia..... D=

2009-06-13T12:01:00.002+08:00

WOOOOOOO

Last night there was a blackout in my house. dam man i was at the kitchen, trying to get some water. and zzz suddenly i heard a loud click that came from the switch box.

and booom. no more electricity. oh my oh my GOD!!! hunter in the night... SOMEWHERE!!!

theres the feeeeeeeeeeeeear of the night that is screwing up the electricity in my house! im suppose to go on and blog another post, when the blackout killed everything. zzz

and i woke my mum up. dam man i wish i have paid more attention during physics class last year on how to use the stupid box and all the switches =.=???

and when she lift up the black switch, there was some sparks momentarily. the power came back momentarily also. and the blackswitch doesnt stay up.wahlao!!!! and after messing around with it for awhile, my mum called my dad. he is cabbing around the road at night. and lol my dad told my mum how to fix it. but all fails. the blackswitch still doesnt switch on even after flicking it on. it just turns off itself. crap la. then i went to bathe in darkness. and suddenly i saw light from the door.

Glory of GOD!!

then suddenly got power liao. my mum got anointing. lol when i came out i asked her what happened??

she said in chinese that after she prayed, she flicked the black switch and BAM, got power liao. my mum got power sia.

dam! it either my dad didnt pay the electricity bills ( which is very unlikely ) or theres some bastard demon that is messing around with the house! (which is very likely!)

i wanna grow longer. i wanna increase in length. i want patience. one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is patience. patience. grow taller too. grow fatter and grow deeper in many things.

qingyu coming back again next week for guitar lesson. i hope he has improved. he is a good student. lol i told him that playing guitar cannot be done with long fingernails and the next time i saw him, LOL he cut his finger nails until short short liao. wow, impressed by his desire to learn.

and xinni also wanna learn how to play worship songs next week. it is truly a gift to be able to create your own music and worship the most high Lord, the purest form of expression, a very powerful sacrifice. i pray that God will lead me in what to teach her so that she can unleash his fullest potential, that maybe one day play as well or even better than me. hehe

yay!!!

woooohoooo after this week of 3 days of morning prayer meetings. hehhehe ryan free transport. got car seh. and for SOS bible study. even more shiok. 2 way transport keekkekeekkeke.

now, ryan teaching about pentatonic scale. heard about it for ages, but never really bothered to go check it out until ryan finally brought it to my attention.

going practise now and prepare lessons. lol if u ask me, am i paid to teach? well actually yes!!!

they pay me a visit. ehehe thats good enough for me. kekeke

2009-06-09T00:23:00.004+08:00

*** GRUMBLE GRUMBLE GRUMBLE ***

facebook uploading sucks. the server either is too sucky like a snail or it just plainly sucks. from now on i will use google uploader. so much faster, less hassle and great quality!

gahgahgah today i thought im gonna be LATE for the movie. but i reached there, somewhat on time.

haix. nobody to sit with. so i regarded everyone as my friend... so i sit anywhere lo. the front seats... pretty good. but after a while the neck hurts. heh, fairly amusing movie afterall.

lol the funniest crap is the 300 parody lols omg poking the shoes LOL LOL. cool but quite lame hahas.

well ISP is officially over. today whole day like no company. so i went to carls jr to have a good dinner there. big mega burger. but big price comes along with it too. but WOW man the fries TOTALLY KICKS ASS. every piece is just flawless. got the crisp, got the fluffy texture and got the rich potatoe taste! I just love the natural cutting with the potatoe skin on. totally awesome. the burger aint that bad. its pretty big so its filling! haix but im just alone there. well thats ok, ive got me to keep myself company.

and after that i made my own way home.

...

well i actually am not prepared for the worst. i rather spend most of my energy on preparing for the best rather than for the worst. i believe that i will do my best and i prepare myself with my best. but when the worst strikes, it will be catastrophic.

hurray now i got 1 guitar student. lol Qingyu came and asked me to teach him some stuff about guitar and i am glad to share my experiences with him. wow i didnt know he was pretty serious about it. he asked me like a month ago and few days back, he prompted me about it and lol i kind of like forgotten about it, but i willingly helped him out in learning guitar and hopefully he can achieve what he wants...

tomorrow he coming again!

then wed to fri, morning prayer meeting. got good lobang... Ryan's car. shiok sia. free tombang 2 way transport. best leh. no need to wait for mrt or bus. gogogo!

yiipppppeee theres some video tutorial on youtube teaching viewers how to play Freedom by CCC on the electric guitar. cool man, the guy is really good in guitar. but gotta watch and replay a few times to catch what he is playing and saying too... lol im ready to rock out with this song. aww man when my parents came back home... the fun is nearly over. wah seh when only me and my dog at home, woohooo i blast the amp until siao volume, most likely the neighbours would be able to rock together with me too kekekeke. but maybe my dog doesnt like it. she goes to somewhere else to sleep -.-!

well sometimes it makes me wonder. is there anyone out there in the world, that is of the same species as me? they may look like me, but sometimes i feel that people seem to behave and think very differently from me. its like i am a martian or something. but at least now i got a confirmation that there are few but little people who i think are of the same species as me. coool.

holidays is boring crap. self-studying kills. i think i will be spending most of my holiday time playin computer games and facebooking and playing guitar and eating and blahblahblah. the last thing i would ever do would be studying. ........

give me a studying pill. some sort of drug, that will make ur brain crave for studying. wah shiok i will buy that product 100000 stock and pop lots of them into my mouth frequently. then in no time i will become like albert einstein. study until drop hair and hair turned white.

i reckon im a worrywart. .___.

2009-06-06T23:17:00.004+08:00

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

finally got my camera back. can start snapping away!

wahlao the musos recruitment thingy. rongrong cancelled my registration without telling me. coz she too busy?.... zzzz. haix no wonder got people call Elson, but no one called me. zzz. those taking O levels this year, all cannot. haix say earlier la. -.-

and then today as i was on my way to riverwalk, lol theres this big fat lady wearing sunglasses, kpkb on the train, with some malay guy. the malay guy reacted, but not violently. but the woman. lol short short hair. she is surely not married yet, judging from her sharp tongue. wah she say so many things. blahblah i see already LOL. i was tempted to take a pic, but i scared later she see then she come kpkb me then i zao. then the MRT staff came forward, then the lady go tell the whole grandmother story to him. cant catch the full story, coz gotta alight le. lol i wish i could stay to listen.

lol then today, wah service and cgm was so good. the p&w rocks!!! woooo. fianlly changed strings for guitar too.

new wine skin

the song of solomon bible study is really cool. wah the initial love part is so interesting. then the latest one is on faltering love. wah. i have to hold myself back because there are limited tissues in my bag.. the winter-spring thingy really convicted me. cool.

yay now all the snow has melted already and its time to go out and play. but along the way, i still see some remnants of snow... and puddles of water where it reflects me. but nevermind it will dry up over time.

bunch of photos on my facebook photo pages, check them out.

monday go see movie. then the start of holidays. after holidays end, siao liao. berserk frenzy crazy study for prelims and o levels. die liao. haix i lost quite a few stationery recently. gotta buy them. and buy more books too. samuel leon, i wan ur o level amaths book!

today in cell group meeting p&w, woot. can solo on the guitar. nice quiet solo, improvised on the spot... lol. a new flavour in playing guitar, after playing rhythm for awhile. then after awhile me and ryan switch roles. lol cool.

now i really think starbucks is really burning my bucks. so expensive. and doesnt taste that great afterall. i think im changing to some other kopitiam already. a place that i can of course study. lol i saw a girl in uniform at starbucks, drank finish a frap and chiong work. must be an O lvl student.

sad thing is that at lot1, no starbucks. crap!!! aiya i wish can go pub study. lol i mean a public place... hahas must be some place that sells great food at excellent value. and must have a soft atmosphere... not too noisy, not too quiet too. and some nice comfortable seats and big table. then of course, aircon. and good lightings. wah good got any place to recommend. starbucks out liao. hardly any chance to get a sofa seat. zzz. and the table is pretty small.

haix my studies is rotting. emaths must get 90% of the o lvl paper above to get A1, according to teacher. wahlao. my amaths also jialak. and my chem and physics. haix. lit and geog and SS not that easy afterall. english also sibei jialak. chinese ar, MIA liao, probably KIA. RIP, my chinese o lvl paper.

but im determined to work hard and beat some crap out of my brains. yeah man i know i can do it. but no motivation. no motivation. no motivation. ............

cannot be too dependant on one source only. ive gotta paddle my own canoe. cant just depend on the currents. it aint avaliable all the time. but its perhaps the best. row row row your boat, FASTER FASTER down the stream!

God is good all the time.

alright these few days have been having guitar fellowship with Ryan shifu. over 8 years of guitar experience and still going.

learnt loads of stuff from him. but the rest still up to my own personal practices. he taught me the song, Have a Nice Day by Bon Jovi, his favourite band always. wah after learning the song, i am really having nice days yeah man. but the song is difficult to play. especially the solo that is freaking fast. but its a really cool song to hear. you are probably hearing it now.

yay finally ordered some packs of strings. wahlao the strings really rusty like siao. the whole string like turned into rust liao. these few days gonna spend some time practicing guitar. preferably in the day, so can blast really loud!! WOOHOO

I found quite a decent screwdriver in popular. a pretty good study guide, to screw my brains and drill in the contents of amaths.

yay! but its pretty pricey... about 20 bucks. but worth it i predict. got a couple of decent standard examples and guides and explanations. in JC i am going to take straight away, H2 Maths. so H1 maths gotta be really solid good!

still gotta write my testimonial la.... principal gonna read it! better be solid good.

Just now i regretted going to bed for a nap. i woke up and felt as if i had a 40 degress Celcius fever. i dont feel warm nor cold. when i grasp my arm with my left hand, my palm feels warm, but my arm feels cold. i dreamt of something really bad. i never wanted that to happen. never! its about a dream of me witnessing certain things that are my dreams, disintegrating before me. it was so real, so vivid, as if its true. it takes place probably at the same time i am really in. 7.30pm++, early in the evening. it seems like i have dreamt of a similar one before, when i was a lot younger.

this must not happen. i cannot let this happen!

now, feeling drowsy and feverish. i received a reply sms from Ms Rashidah and she said the paper is 50 marks. that means the two topics tested will be at full scale. i dont know how am i going to even pass the mock paper tomorrow. i dont even know if i can make it to school tomorrow. how to study.... feeling quite traumatized and tormented.

checked my temperature and its below 37.6 degress Celcius. this is weird.

nevertheless i gotta carry on studying. cannot let down Ms Rashidah.

tomorrow and thursday, Ryan agreed to help me prepare some songs that are to be played with the acoustic and electric guitar, for the MUSOS recruitment on Saturday. its an audition to be in the church youth band. aww...

my brain just cringes everytime it comes to my mind again.

2009-06-01T14:08:00.004+08:00

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!

chinese paper one.

LOL OMG the topic is dead easy. the teachers really overestimated the paper. more having the dead easy topic means alot of people can produce A1 essays easily, hais so duno what i would get.

thought of any reason/ suggestion/ impact all just whack in.

and all the stuff that i memorized also just whack in. hope can pass...

chinese paper two.

wah so hard sia the comprehension. bunch of wierd questions. i can get full marks for it if i can write my answers in ENGLISH!!! -_______-

hais. overall, probability of passing Chinese GCE O level -> unknown

my mum would gimme 50 bucks for getting C5 for chinese o level!! lol and 50 more bucks for B4 and 150 bucks for B3.......

lol does that mean if i get D7, she cut my pocket money by 50???!

nonononoonononnononononooooooooo never.

"5 more minutes"

the invigilator said. wah now at least the room is well air conditioned. HAHAHA i in other class room. the aircon good. lol those in 4P1, hahas duno if they suffocated or not.

i flipped through the paper. hais what to do. the answers all written le. still got what to write except crap??? only the MCQs maybe can do some work to it.

5 more minutes to make a difference.

so i studied the numbers. WOW! four of my answers for section A is 1. sure got 1 wrong one.

so i balanced out the numbers as much as possible, of course with reference to the passage and checking the context ( which i have 1% idea about what it is).

usually, the answers consist of three 1s, three 4s, two 2s and two 3s. hehe probability of getting all em right. er. but no la this time i didnt depended much on probability. i really read through the passage and weighed the options. of course, got a bunch of questions really no idea, so must study the previous answers.

if previous answers are 1 3 2 4 2, the probability of the next answer to be 1 is likely. but of course, assuming that all previous answers are correct la. probability is risky.....

whacked the paper hard.

yay chinese GCE o level over le. results out in september i think.

but still got the bloody orals and listening comprehension which is totally not my cup of tea.

pray that i land into a nice lenient Singaporean teacher. wah that would be great man. oh i hope that the same one marks my scripts too. gimme A1 la.

today, the principal went about the canteen hooking up with people and asking about the paper.

lol

i was reading the newspapers when he popped up and asked how was the paper. good. thats all i said. heheheheh

after that, i plucked some courage and went to ask him about the DSA. hehe he seems to know what i want. he emphasised on getting into JC with DSA - leadership. but i said, eh the web didnt really said so leh.... i see liao. then to save my ass, in case there really is, i added the word, "briefly". then he said ok u go check again. and after writing my testimonial, he will write a letter of recommendation.

"HUH!!" lol then he looked at me like you-dont-want-is-it? then he repeated himself and i WOW!! OK!!! tyytytytytytytytytytytytytytytyttyty thankyou. woot and i went away, lifting my arms in triumph.

"you like the culture of ACJC hor.."

"er yea... hehe."

"if cannot then NJC lor. quite good too. otherwise what other JC you want?"

"er maybe SAJC... hehehehehe"

"hmm ya ok.. but SA abit far hor?"

"ya lor ya lor!"

^^

edit* My mum just offered me another deal. my CT2 L1R5 is 15. for every 1 point deduction from O level, $100.

i dont know but i think my mum is feeling really rich. or she struck lottery didnt tell anyone.

"u get 8 points, then u will become 700bucks richer leh! understand??"

"YES!!!!!!"

eheheheh maybe i should hide from her about the CCA deduction 2 points. lol 200 bucks. but on second thoughts, maybe not la. use raw score more decent.

2009-05-31T13:35:00.002+08:00

under the influence of music. everything is as fine as the music is.

THIS IS MY SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR CHINESE O LEVELS.

memorized loads of crap from it. dont know how decent would they be on the paper. at least it can save my ass from an F9 to an E8.

a week has past. all of the grand finales of chinese lessons and ISP are over. even the final 2 hours briefing before everybody takes the jump off the plane into the battlefield finish liao. i dont know la, the stuff that i memorized, maybe just a M16 to me. other people dont know have what machinegun or rifle or even bazooka. but at least i am not going in there empty handed, or rather, with an empty brain. at least im not going to war with a fruit knife. lol

sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep soundly. my dog's favourite black leather couch.

this beautiful piece of ceremic work is always hung in my room.

haix sometimes i regretted making that decision. it seems to be bringing more harm than good. sian. at starbucks, i was inspired to focus my energy on O levels. im not going to like the gnawing grinding drilling action into my head. but im going to like the results. haiya but got so many events from now to the end of O levels. in particularly, a really big one. i dont know how it would turn out. everyone believes i know what to do. even my form teacher told my mum during the meet-the-parents session, that, "he knows what to do".

the kettle is really hot, ouch. it sores for a while, okay but now i know how to handle the kettle better now. its really very useful to me, i bought it with time and life, how can i ever throw it away. now i installed an insulated handle on the kettle. dont want to be isolated, but to be insulated. the dust had already settled on the kettle. the burnt had already healed. yeah, my leg bruise, as a result of careless biking in ubin, also healed already!! i'll go boil some water now.

later go bukit timah nature to recharge energy in nature.

2009-05-26T17:39:00.004+08:00

oh man, these few days its going to be some really boring intensive study programme on chinese language.

while the teacher rattles on, i'd be playing chess with my fren at the back of the class. lol he hates chinese too.

"Monday, chinese wah sure die one."

"it aint worth dying for chinese at all!"

the paper next monday is a game of luck. MCQs based purely on luck. i believe in luck. how else could i explain myself passing chinese? and all the compo and letters. okay la i go memorise some of the nice beautiful phrases. but i think its like mixing diamonds with granite. the result still sucks. but perhaps it could make it look more shiny. fail also dont fail until so jialak. -.-

where's the quietest place in a school during recess? its in the toilet!

well the benches around the school arent safe at all. so the quietest place is still in the toilet. well, occasionally, some people would come in and out. and make some noise too. wish they could shut up and do their businesses while i do mine. but most of the time its nice and quiet.

i wrestle with hunger and thirst. lol this is too easy. because i couldnt even feel it. when i think, i dont know where the strength to think comes from. certainly not from my body. but from some supernatural source. think, fast. think faster.

sometimes a stench floats around me. zz. just keep on thinking. considering. pondering. contemplating. weighing. deliberating. planning.

bang, the school bell rang. time to go back to class. finally they fixed the broken aircon. now its much better.

today the principal gave a talk to the class.

wow he belanja everyone ferrero rocher. but i gave it to someone else. the principal gave a good talk on the o levels and jc poly admission blahblahbalh.

when theres a slide about ACJC,

he said,
"Arh, this one your JC. performing arts culture"

and everyone just loled.

and second time.

he used me as an example. in particularly for ACJC.

sounds really cool. but i see the cut off point. 6 for science and 7 for arts.

its good to be with a bunch of people who just love to play and have fun with music arts singing etc. and

third time.

"do you wanna apply for DSA for ACJC?"

"lol, er no...."

"huh??? go apply la!"

"Er i dont think i meet any of the criteria."

today mr michael peacock blew up again for someone did physics homework in class. he stomped towards the guy, tore his paper and threw it in the bin. he let out a holler that shook me awake. lol

and mr osgodby blew up also because our class once again hit the books of bpghs history. a bunch of people got L1R5 46 ++. lol amazing. need 4 points more to pass. the principal also fed up with the class. lol got one of the best students but also got one of the worst student ever. since class 107, 207, 3P1, 4P1. lol all these four classes are like from the classes from hell, from the scums of the earth.

i wish im in some other class. and i wanna bring the good guys along with me too. and leave the scumbags to have their own fun everyday. before they know it, their L1R5 result will be before them. and they will definitely 'pass' with flying colours.

its been some time since i went to bukit timah hill. man, its real fun trekking around there. it has been 5 years since ive been there. dont know much it has changed. perhaps the experience up there would be similar to the prayer mountain in s.korea.

Northkorea is being a bad ass by flexing her nukes. why not USA, japan china russia france all just invade this stupid country and get rid of it once and for all. and iran as well. lol they blocked facebook to stop the spreading of politically sensitive messages.

i'll go find something better to do like playing dota.

it has been 12 hours

2009-05-25T18:40:00.003+08:00

333th post.

hurray today english examINATION is over.

i just love it. certainly can attain F9. absolutely not a problem at all! i just love the way i wrote the letter. im writing to a principal, but i write as if I AM THE PRINCIPAL!! HAHAHAHAHA. funny.

and my composition. cool! I compose shit on sheets on paper. i changed the rules of grammar. i twisted sentence structures. i wrote one word sentences. how lovely. i think the teacher will be very well pleased with a fresh sheet of fresh shit in front of them. and it just smells so good that they just give it a 0/30 and move on to a better piece of work. probably give it 25/30.

and lol. guess what. my comprehension. i wrote in such a way which shows that i comprehend how much i do not comprehend about the passages. lol and for the summary. i summaries my own story about cats. getting 1 point is really an achievement already. trying to catch sand with a sieve? go ahead!

today bpian idol and bpian concert was awesome. i just love the stage. the stage is my friend. relaxed. chilled. everyone sang well. everyone played well. everyone who dares to go up on stage and do something which entertains, is a winner. anyone who mocks at people on stage, and has never tried it before, is a loser. A loser.

Kok hui won the bpian idol. he is the bpian idol. i think he's quite a nice chap afterall. he comes and ask me on facebook, whats up man why u feeling like this, and etc. and he has the courtesy to wish me good luck the night before. man i heard he had 200 votes out of 450 votes. each votes costs a buck.

well at least Mr Craig and Mr Seow praised me. Mr Craig has a pretty weird accent. but he pitied me for the audience was not tamed to listen to my wonderful performance that he really likes. and Mr Seow, my mid year chinese examiner, said the song is very emotional. a bag of emotions. really hard to sing. and i did it well. cool.

the other 2 judges had to shut up because of time constrain. dam!

but i won. i won. i won. i am a winner. i won. great, there aint any screw ups on stage. except for longsiang's song. my mind went blank momentarily and a chord sounded like my burp. burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpx

in the next few days its gonna be some boring ISp. and lol guess what. chinese O level! LOL!!!! ITS CHINESE O LEVEL!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!

i have always been waiting for this great day. its time to show the world, how good i am in chinese. getting a score that is neither positive nor negative. is indeed remarkable. a feat. no one can beat that! getting 6F9s is cooler than 6A1s huh? So much easier. so relaxed. i can have a good rest during the examination. just wake me up when its over. you can just examine my blank sheets of paper. only smart people can see and read whats written on it. haha!

whats even worser than committing crimes and doing stupid things and hooking up with the wrong people and getting into deep shit?

its to do nothing at all! All the others can benefit positively in one way or another. but by doing nothing, guess what. just rot on! you dont rock on in life, you rot on! rot rot rot rot rot.

the greatest place on this earth is not on this earth. it is inside this earth. in the core. full of lava. really cooling and hot in there. imagine swimming in sweet hot curry mixed with laksa and lots of taupok and lots of seasoning. omg man i can live everyday of my life in there. who says that if there is a way in, there will be a way out? i go in there, nobody can get me out. unless u would drill 6,000,000 metres into the ground. u go to Marianas Trench. deepest place on this earth. right at the bottom of the sea. you will never reach there. you will never want to do it. you never will.

u wanna know how then? then put urself in my shoes. i bet you cant. because it is burning. there's lava in it. roti prata curry in it. lol. and soon, my shoes will be gone. disintegrate. what happened to it? i ate it. simple. hahahas.

you wanna know the answer?

you tell me what is 100000000000000 divided by 0. what is the exact answer? give u a clue. 100000000000000 divided by 0.1 is 1.0 × 10^15.
100000000000000 divided by 0.00000001 is 1.0 x 10^22
100000000000000 divided by exactly zero is?

you tell me the answer, i will tell you the answer.

everyday i sleep with my eyes open. just stare at the ceiling. can u see the stars? i see many stars, you know! just keep on knocking your head on the wall and u will see what i see. there is no way out of darkness. no way out. i just think in darkness. in the paradise of thoughts where everything is in the absense of light. dark thoughts. none can stand in light. put that torch down right now or face my wrath. want some pig trotters and pig knuckles? they taste really good. you should really die if you try some from me. i give them to you, fresh. delicious. you will eat it till you drop. and i will force it down your throat.

2009-05-24T22:18:00.003+08:00

i wanna be a doctor when i grow up. my grandmother checked out the hottest job in town with the hottest pay and its to be a doctor.

"wah, my daughter's son is going to be a doctor! "

lets see how much i like biology.

2009-05-24T17:45:00.002+08:00

dam man. pass current through my body. electrifying. crucify the flesh. like a million thousand knives stabbing everywhere. stabbing and withdrawing. overwhelming pain. unstoppable melancholy. let the hydrochloric acids in the stomach, bite the fleshy walls. and the golden sweet addictive drug burn the throat. crucify the flesh. grab a razor. the flesh quivers. press it down gently. then slash it away. give it a thousand strokes. make my own masterpiece on my own, of my own. on myself. different kinds of strokes all the time. very creative. slash, streak, wave, meander, curve, dot. different kinds of shapes all the time. triangle, rhombus, quadrilateral, circle. but all the same pain. crucify the flesh. salt. sodium chloride. not just a pinch of it. pour over it generously. shower water over it. warm water. cold water. lukewarm water. all the same colour eventually. take some crushed ice. put over it. it melts eventually. this is just the tip of the iceberg. grab the razor. clench it tightly. need all the strength from it. next. the flesh quivers. press it down gently. then slash it away. give it a thousand strokes. make my second own masterpiece on my own, of my own. on myself. different kinds of strokes all the time. very very creative. slash, streak, wave, meander, curve, dot. different kinds of shapes all the time. triangle, rhombus, quadrilateral, circle. but all the same pain. crucify the flesh. salt. sodium chloride. not just a pinch of it. pour over it generously. shower water over it. warm water. cold water. lukewarm water. all the same colour eventually. take some crushed ice. put over it. it melts eventually. this is the end of the iceberg. sinking, sleeping. crucify the flesh. i'll die another time. what time? now is not the time. but death will come again.i will die another time. grave. so grave. where's my grave? i don't need one. don't deserve. too grave. i am biodegradable. just let the vultures. maggots. animals. plants. admire my own masterpieces. take all of me. leave none behind. i dont contribute to man anymore. then there's no more burdens. no more sufferings. no more mistakes. i contribute to earth. one person less, reduces the emission of greenhouse gases. i feed Nature. i fertilise the soil. i love nature. man is so cruel to nature. man, face the wrath of nature. crucify man, crucify the flesh. crucify me. life and death. part and parcel of nature. wanted birth and unwanted birth. part and parcel of nature. deliberate death and unintended death. also part and parcel of nature. I dont believe in Death Note. dumb cartoon. dumb movie. maybe suicide note would be better. you dont bring death to people. you bring yourself to death. God cannot force me. hence He cannot save me. unless with angels. i never get to see them. i could try a brilliant way to force God. show me. crucify the flesh. what is the greatest pain in the world. give me that. ten times of that. a million times of that. all of that. stab into my brain. just like how man eat monkeys. drink all of it. shoot the beating heart. .577 T-Rex. there is no such thing as eternal pain. i wish i could handle unbearable pain for eternal. but that is like 1 trillion dividing by zero. its undefined. hit headlines someday. best if i'm on the front page. still alive huh? the clock is ticking. what is the point? there is no point at all. everything is pointless. destroy me. i am pointless. crucify the flesh. self-destruction. the end. the end of a beginning of the end. you are reaching the end. so am I. no hope. no light. you give me a lamp i will break it. go away. get out of my way. nobody stands against me. nobody stands by me. there's no point. there's no cure. the damage is done. let it be done unto my also. I will, voluntarily. Crucify the flesh. inflict pain. self-destruction. initiated. you have reached the end. so have I.

2009-05-21T20:19:00.002+08:00

haaaaaix.

sometimes people are just unreachable.

got lots of great things, and perhaps some not so great ones, to share.

but sometimes people are just unreachable.

THen i have to turn to my own precious guitar and play her like a marionette. It cant talk! Neither can it walk! but i could play every chord in my heart on it. it seems to be able to understand the complexity of the melody and the string of thoughts in my heart. The brown rusty smell of the golden strings left on my fingertips is perfume to me. The sounds reverberate the golden wood, producing crisp and expressive music. And everything was just pin-drop silence, as I flip over the next page in my mind, for the next tune. And my guitar gently weeps again.

2009-05-19T19:00:00.002+08:00

DAM man today i was late. screw the blooody LRT system.

3 trains i cant get in. If this happens again. no doubt, im gonna charge in like a rhinoceros. show no mercy already.

"You're a disgrace!" Tiger keep on saying this over and over again.

and what the heck he warned me that if i late again, i will be the first student from 4P1 to be on the yellow card system. then every morning must report to him liao.

2009-05-17T22:38:00.004+08:00

last week I had my first OFFICIAL experience in leading a praise song in cell group.

i was so dam nervous man. at some instances i was mindless ; i thought i am in outer space or something. but overall, its a decent shot for a first shooter. and i didnt know my guitar sounds so nice and warm on the mixer....

Tomorrow theres gonna be some rehearsal going on in the hall for the bpian idol and bp concert. ANd finally Longsiang dropped the Stop and Stare song and picked up Just So You Know by Jesse McCartney. good song for him.

and today i also did a backing track for Zhengrui's poor song for bpian idol. its hard to find minus one versions on the internet... maybe u get some shitty karaoke version, usually crappy version. just a single guitar track that she recorded with her MP4.

screw that Mr PO la. i asked him nicely if he had marked the literature papers.

I get a rather sarcastic "Of course!" reply. not very surprising from a literature teacher.

and i asked for the mean subject grade of the class.

but he asked me instead, " what question did you do?"

and when i told him, he said, "those who did question 2, any one failed."

what the heck!

i stared at him in unbelief. "u mean everyone who did question two failed?"

and he gave an angry yes.

"Stupid choice. Andrew. Stupid choice."

he scold me stupid! grrrrr

Haix sometimes i wonder, am I really brain-damaged or not. are my nerves behaving abnormally?

the capillary tube of my red-coloured alchohol thermometer, is so thin, that a change in surrounding temperatures, would cause the reading to shoot up like a speeding bullet.

I wish that someone understands this. and then when i get angry, the thermometer will break. and i usually don't have spare ones. i always hope that people would give me a new one, a better one if possible.

the experiment ends when the thermometer breaks. sometimes people dont care about the experiment at all. "who cares man! there are even more exciting experiments to play with, like mixing caesium in water. boooom!"

but those who investigate the matter, would realise that the thermometer is in broken glass pieces and the red-coloured alchohol clouds the clear solution. and they would feel saddened for the experiment is ruined and not progressive anymore.

and I only hope that people would repeat the experiment instead of walking away. these people will be able to clearly see the results of the experiment. they will benefit the most. they will enjoy it the most. they will feel the happiest.

I feel as broken as a thermometer in glass pieces is because i make people feel sad, angry and frustrated.

but take me as I am, or watch me as I go.

I certainly need a breakthrough in my capacity to contain crucial feelings. making someone to feel sad is even more sad for someone who made someone feel sad.

dam man i want to breakthrough from the maggot stage into the adult stage, that i can fly freely. i hate being like a rotting maggot at home, eating the computer.

Five days in a week, I endure, sixth day of a week, I rejoice. Sabbath day of a week, I rot like a maggot.

the ending sucks! can we do something else on sundays please, for goodness sake.

blahblahbalhblabhalbhalbah..

I blocked out the customers in Restaurant City, so i will not be addicted to that stupid game. for now i call it stupid, but if i get hooked on it, i will call it, food.

HAHAHAHAHA. check out my dog photos on my face book.

"If i fight finish this war, i earn the right to go home."

When I heard that Private is accepted by the General to go home, I was shocked. Private earned the sympathy of the General for Private had already lost three brothers in the war. And the General hopes that Private could reconcile with the mother, to ease her pain and suffering of three lost children.

I felt tears running in my blood. I clenched my the rifle in my hands tightly. If I fight finish this war, I earn the right to go home. If i die in this war, may my soul return to the Lord peacefully.

In the movie of Saving Private Ryan, Private Ryan decided to stay on and fight along the war, because he had been tasked to protect a bridge at all costs, and will not compromise any of his team members and his important mission. after an arduous and gruesome battle, Private Ryan and team finally made it. they held the bridge long enough for allied reinforcements to arrive. A squad of soldiers, armed with only machine guns, grenades, bullets, explosives and their socks, fought bravely against swarms of enemy soldiers and even the nearly indestructible tanks. They improvised tank bombs, called Sticky Bombs, by putting the explosives that is supposedly used to blow up the bridge at the last resort, into their socks and some sticky tar on the outside, to immobilise the approaching tanks. the strategic positions of the sniper, machine gun nests and the riflemen, gave them extra fire power against the enemy. though the loss and cost was heavy, their struggle was not in vain.

I wish the war could be fought together. Don't go Home, Private. stay with me and fight, for a greater purpose.

For a greater purpose, we fight.

2009-05-14T17:39:00.002+08:00

A + B, i can do until A - B.

zzz no wonder,

I could not figure out how,

a^2 - 1 - b^2 - 1 = a^2 - b^2 - 2.

zzz. IT SHOULD BE

a^2 - 1 + b^2 - 1 = a^2 + b^2 -2 = (a + b)^2 - 2ab - 2. simple.

haix careless mindless crazy mistakes. I HATE THEM ALL. dam man knew that theres gonna be some sort of screwup somewhere.

haix.

2009-05-13T20:42:00.002+08:00

See i wrote so much for geography. all kena cancel diao. not because it is wrong... but haix.

But still my marks. 20/25

Wahlao I want to get like 24/25 one lor. haix now

I learnt my mistakes in this test le. for questions like question 1, write four paragraphs enough le, Cambridge O level entertains up to 4 points only, where each point is awarded maximum 2 marks. total 8 marks. T_T

I really didnt know that man. if I had known, I COULD SPEND the time writing all the unnecessary shit to do the other questions properly, like the last one. wah just need to crap alittle bit more about the measure of success then can get 8 marks le.

haix haix haix.

and my SS marks also the same as Geog. wahlao the person sitting infront of me got 24/25 for SS. zzzzzzzz

20/25 no big deal. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

later the hall of fame, haix my name sure appear at the bottom of the list.......

crap la, today EMaths. 1st qns trickster. zzz

and tomorrow Amaths.

wahlao eh i hope my lit get A1 also.

Today Ms Rashidah said in class that do not peak too early, because when you reach O level, you might drop in level of performance.

the irony is that this geog paper, i 'peaked' by writing a whole lot of words for the 1st question, and resulted in a loss of precious time that could be given to the other questions. so it appears that i did not peak, but in fact I did...

but Ms Rashidah praised me and Alson in class...

"... very good, people like Alson and Andrew, who have been consistent..."

^__________________^

my heart was so happy that a flower in my heart bloomed rapidly.

Now we are back to Physical geography. ALL THE WAY TO THE START.

plate tectonics worksheet done today. wahlaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao...

and got rivers chapter coming soon. wah jialak man this chapter siao one.

This is my very well taken care of Sec 3 GEOG book.

Gotta staple the front cover because it fell out. sorry man, but the back cover didnt manage to make it.

Next Monday is concert Rehearsal. Longsiang and Zhengrui not singing stop and stare anymore because it is a very hard song to sing. hope they come up with a new idea ASAP.....

Today in class, zhaoyang released a chemical bomb. he has been collecting lots of crappy liquid in a bottle and going around scaring people with it. milo, carbonated drinks, tea, all sorts of crap in it. and its like some milk tea colour. urgh.

then today dont know what he did, suddenly theres an explosion sound. quite loud. i think he probably applied his weight on the bottle, causing it to burst. wah and the stench. luckily i didnt smell it. those around him have the privilege to smell it.

then zhaoyang had to clean up his shit. hahahahaha. also luckily tiger didnt wanna pursue the matter. ^^

Don know whats up with the Fuzeiya canteen stall.. dao bi guan men liao. no business for 2 days le.

I wonder when will the time come that I will have to unleash all that I got, give all that I have, do all that I can, say and write all that I know. I like synonyms. Recently I have been thinking of many visions in my future, and how the current would relatively develop into the future.....

go do some amaths.

2009-05-12T16:15:00.003+08:00

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIX

Today chemistry GG. 1st question already wrong.

from cracking i can write until decomposition zzzzzzzz. wahlaoeh.

Just got back Physics. 22.5/40 sian. zzzzzzzzzz i think chemistry most likely the same result. haix. i SUCK in science.

.__.

I got back my SS results by an SMS from Rashidah. 20/25. wahlaaao. no more full marks. sian and i did poorer than previous CT1, 22/25. -.-!!!

i hope my lit get A1. then combined humanities A1*********************** ^^

two papers more. Maths maths maths.

haix i can predict i will sure make some stupid mistake again. crap man. this is a source of ERROR!!! stupid dumb mistakes. like today chemistry and physics. wah i didnt read the question thoroughly and this results in a BIG MEGA loss of marks. sian.

tomorrow and the day after, die die die die die also must get A1 for both maths. if not I can go jump out of my class window le. haix

ANd yesterday went to Pulau Ubin. so fun... wah and took alot of chio photos. including Samuel kia, super chio!!! hahahaha. I learnt a nice lesson of biking skills - when and when not to brake.

WAH today i woke up late again. zzz DAMN MAN!!!

then i really didnt know what to do. 11am le. whalao. 11am should reach Peien's house to practise with Ryan and Jungang. omg its the 2nd time. how to tell Ryan sia. zzz but i decided, ARRRRRRRH let him scold me lah then i will remember it and shouldnt hapeen again. so i pushed the send button on my handphone.

then he replied. if u can reach by 12noon then bring guitar. SIAN LA. the 1st time hor, wahlao!!! he replied like eh what the heck man, don need bring guitar liao.

but i decided, dont care yesterday practised hard. today die die must play. so i went down. i instantly thought of hopping onto a cab. 11.30am. sure can make it with cab. SURE cannot make it with MRT. 35mins journey on train. zzz

so i went to the roadside. quite a busy road. then i saw no taxi. i called my mum. haix hoping to get my dad. but sian my mum at chalet and my dad cant fetch me. Wah suddenly one taxi curved in towards me and WOOHOO!! i hoped 15 bucks can take me there.

'UNCLE! 15 bucks go bishan can hor?"

"erm........................ can la"

YAY! so i threw myself into the taxi and GOGOGO!!!.

wah seh very fast leh. just go straight down the road and turn left, and then on expressway le. yay i love my house location ^^. very accessible. its a junction of many expressways. got the one that the 190 route takes, to town, also got the one go to woodlands one. good leh!

then reached le. heng havent start. wah when Ryan saw me his facial expression was priceless. 0____________________0

took cab la! hahas. took 15 mins only. 11.30 to 11.45. i myself was shocked too

12 bucks. heng leh. but gotta borrow 12 from Samuel so i can survive throughout today.

today good cell group Praise and Worship. weeeee 3 guitarists.

and today Samuel became a peer mediator. to mediate the problems between me and xinni. he is DA MAN.

with his super magical relationship powers, wah finally.

no longer do i need to lift the stone off myself anymore, nor to break it off.

the word, 'sorry', just blasted the stone and it disintegrated into thin air. wah finally.

so today happy day, finally can talk to xinni after she finally orally apologized.

and then after that, wooooohooooooooooooooo. i tried to open my mouth, but no air came out. and i still thought of asking. lol

i tried to closed my mouth, but still, no air came out. and i still thought of asking.

oh ya, i forgot to take a deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breath. in..... out. in...... out.

okay so i gave the wine cork a final push and it popped open! weehhaaaa and a cold grey mist of gas escaped from the bottle. so i walked home with her. wow man it has been something since i came to South View LRT. dam man! last time in primary school, always alighted here to walk to school and then came here to take the LRT back home. oh boy oh boy.... i thought, go left or right? the right leads to South View Primary School! the left leads to her house.

Chemistry

2009-05-07T20:49:00.002+08:00

WAHAHAHAHAH omg omg omg omg omg man

Today physics was manageable. except the last page. totally gay.

and geography is TOO easy man. the questions are very straightforward and one look gives me the idea of what to right about le. no problem.

except my hand writing. haix. even if i get full makrs i think Rashidah will minus 5 marks for my wonderful handwriting. I could explain the nature of my handwriting with the same theory used to explain meandering rivers!

Wow man my right hand seems to have super powers. it glides along the paper and swims across the lines.. wowww.... . First question, duno if Rashidah will kill me ornot, for writing three pages long. lols. for eight marks...... well maybe ok.

TOMORROW is Literature. hope it goes well too. Mr Paul said there are no tricks, no traps. just gotta revise what we did last week. dam man left the file in school. depending on online resources... hope they are reliable.

and dam the flu is very naughty. but no worries, i just went to see a chinese doctor, and they give really good and effective medicine. the taste isnt very nice actually but it is not too bad after all.

the medicine is like a plumber service. it will fix my borken tap in a few hours and it will begood to go already! dont worry. the flu i got, is halal. HAHAS!

Dam man today i just cant take anymore shit. so i went to confront her right up in her face. didnt go that bad, but also didnt go that good... haix so sad. for some i treasured so much. then like that. really make me zzzz.

i'm gonna pull out my 3pin plug from the powerpoint and put it in my bag.

2009-05-07T00:29:00.004+08:00

WEll as im typing right now, the flu is dying in me. the panadol is taking effect already woohoo.

last time in primary school when i was sick, i badly wanted to go to school. really lol. so i took panadol, and went to school. dam man even though it fixed the broken tap of mine for a while, it was a hard time trying to stay awake. it really beats you up and quite hard to concentrate. but you feel good after the day ends. went home and threw myself on the bed.

WElll i wonder if i had won the poster design compeititon by Mr Lim or not. never heard anything from him.... zzz. fake one. haix

and Mr Lee hasnt been approaching me for awhile. absense makes the heart grow fonder..... c'mon man i wanna talk to him about the air cons in the class.

and convince him... hahas perhaps to get it down with 3 wonderful reasons.

1. aircons spreads flu easily.

one down, all tango down! Flu viruses are airborne and with the air corn, people breath in the same air and the air corn might even get infected with flu! and it is gonna sneeze and huff and puff and die. one aircorn broke down in my class le. too old liao.

2. aircons create a soporific environment.

meaning, easy to fall asleeep. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. self-explanatory.

3. aircons are expensive to maintain.

the aircons in class are in quite a beaten up shape. old shabby frail looking. wonder how much kiligrams of dusts in the filter. either get it cleaned, or get it down.

screw the airconns. it makes my flu even worst. luckily i sit beside the window. but people would shout at me to close it. zzz

the air outside is fresher, more fragrant and sometimes even cooler. there was a rainy day and when i walked into the classroom, lol i thought im in AFrica. i gotta escape it by getting out of the room to the Norway breeze.

well doing some final revisions and memory work for physics and geography. hope there will be no tricks and ugly questions coming out tomorrow! Screw them all!

haaaaaaaix. fancy finding a gargantuan chest of great gold treasure, and helplessly watching it just walk away from you? i dont like this man.

Some quotes from Tiger

"I don't like this arh!"

"You don't come and play games with me, you know!"

"You don't try to be funny arh!"

"If you want to do this, then go and find another school lah!"

and of course, his pet phrase, rather rude....

"Go away."

I'm ready to beat any questions from geography and physics.

pardon me let me do some revision on geography.

Indicators of Development.

1. HDI - Economic well-being, health and education

0.00 to 1.00

2. Employment structure

3. Employment Opportunities.

The theory of E.O is that with availability of jobs, people can easily find jobs, and earn an income. and this will allow them to afford basic needs and people will also demand for luxuries like television, computers, radios etc. In order to meet the demand, more factories and industries have to be built to increase production of these goods. This leads to more jobs available for people.

4. Income per capita AKA GDP per capita.

5. Life expectancy

6. Infant mortality rate

babies surviving less than 1 year old. a percentage over 1000 babies.

7. Population growth rate.

8. Access to clean water supply

9. Access to sanitation facilities.

pangsai wu kui zui bo? (did u flush ur shit?)

10. Literacy rates.

shouldnt have missed out any... ;P

Reasons for variation in development.

Political reason.

Colonialism, political conflict.

Physical reason

Presense of raw materials, climate. relief

Economical Reason

Cumulative causation. BIG THEORY. 1. E.O. theory. (multiplier effect) 2. Core-periphery theory (backwash effect) 3. Investments by Dcs in Ldcs (spread effect)

Social Reason

Leadership of government.

cant remember le....

Steps to alleviate uneven development (EXTREME)

INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

1. World Bank. established in 1944.

gives loans of little/no interest.
gives technological assistance.

helped Indonesia.

Kecamatan Development Programme.

US$890 MILLION bucks pumped in and presently helped 34,000 villages.

they got access to clean water supply.

2. Asian Development Bank

gives loans of little/no interest
gives technical assistance.

Helped Bangladesh.

cant remember year.... ZZZ

Jamuna Multi-Purpose Bridge Project.

links less developed north west region to more developed east region.

improves traffic. cuts down conjestion. easier movement and transport of goods. less loss in time. farmers can transport harvests to market quicker.

speeds up development in Bangladesh.

3. United Nations Millennium Development Goals.

lots of goals. didnt remember them zzz

Gives loans to poor countries. aims to relieve poverty.

1.1/6.5 billion people in poverty.

poverty -> living on less than 1 american buck everyday.

helped Vietnam.

58.1% in 1993 to 24.1% in 2004. Fall in poverty rates in country!

educated the people there. give them skills to find lobang in industries. got income and money to support themselves.

also helped India.

72% in 1999 to 89% in 2004. % of children with primary education. built schools for them, sent teachers and volunteers to build education system in India. equip children with basic education so they can find lobang as well.

4. United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea.

to set Exclusive Economic Zones in coastal areas. 200 nautical miles offshore. to protect the waters from overfishing. reserved for poor coastal countries.

Peru. their old boats cant beat super high tech boats with high fishing capabilities.

prevents overfishing which depletes fishing sources. destroys fishermens' lobang. let them earn living.

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

1. Improve water supply and sanitation facilities.

PArivartan slum networking programme in INDIA.

41% people living in slums. 25% no toilets lol.

slums are overcrowded places with poor hygiene conditions. people fall sick easily. diseases like cholera spread easily. through human wastes. no proper waste disposal system.

Helped them with some cash. then they can rent machines from cities to bring to their kampongs and drill the ground and build wells. install pipes and sewage systems.

benefited 56,000 people over 41 slums....

2. Control population growth rates.

China. 1979 "One Child" Policy. freebies like houses, holidays, incentives blahblahblah. paid leave. if u give birh to 1 baby only.

population declined alot. very effective. until government had to adjust it abit so population growth is sustained.

fixed it to prevent overpopulation. puts a strain on government resources. causes shortage of housing food and lobangs.

3. Job Creation and Financial assistance.

In Phillipine. 2001. KALAHI. "Linking Arms against Poverty"

gives microfinances to encourage small-medium enterprises to grow. teach them skills and help them find jobs in the city or become towkays.

600,000 agri cultural jobs created. 1.7 million people, previously umemployed now have jobs.

poverty rates declined.

needs close observation by government on SMEs to ensure that they grow and funds dont go to waste / misused.

DISADVANTAGES of these policies/loans blahblah.

1. people over rely on government. depend heavily on government.

2. big money involved. expensive leh!

3. if money is given to poor farmers who are under land tenure, even though they can increase their output with machines and fertilisers, the landlords would make higer demands of their outputs and this makes the loans ineffective.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. ladder.

time to go to bed. cheers

2009-05-06T21:19:00.002+08:00

dam man i think i should be quarantined. showing some signs of influeza. suffering the effects of abusing chocolates.

2009-05-04T21:10:00.003+08:00

Today SS test wasnt as hard as i thought. hope can get A1. or near to full marks ^&^

TEXAS HOLD'EM POKRE

Hmmm... a red pair of Jack. i thought. not bad yeah. it was time for the blind bets. This round, I am going to win. If i try hard enough, i can do it. Travers, sitting on the left of the dealer, was about to bet. He is quite an unpredictable person, never know what he is up to. But I have a good pair of cards.

"10,001 dollars."

Hmm whats up with that one extra dollar of his. I looked at my stash and ive only got 50k. he must really be up to something this time.

"10,001 dollars", Denise called. Dam man the stakes are so dam high. But i have a good pair of cards. I pushed 10,001 worth of tokens forward.

Will Travers call for another bet, or just check?...

"Check!"

"Check!.."

wooh. with a sigh of relief. i checked as well. And the dealer skillfully dished out the first three cards.

Jack of spades. Ace of spades. Jack of Spades.

Nice... I grew even more confident with a four of a kind hand.

"check!"

"Check!" the pink wallet, pink bag, pink ring and pink lipstick always catch my attention.

I checked.

Round three, the turn. King of Spades.

No way man. i thought. no way....

"35,000 dollars". I looked at Travers with disbelief and he just smiled at me.

My heart sank. is he betting on his luck or his cards... hmmm. but i'll still played along.

"35,000 dollars".

I topped up to 35000 as well.

now the pot holds 135,000 dollars. big big big amount.

"Check!"

"Check!"

"check!". its time for the last round.

The river. Queen of Spades. oh my God. no way. all big cards??! something must be wrong with the dealer. this is unfathomably strange...

"ALL IN." Travers pushed every bit of his tokens to the centre of the table.

the pot rose by one million dollars. I DIDNT KNOW HE GOT SO MUCH MONEY!!! (or did he borrow from the loan sharks?!)

Denise was deliberating. after shooting a sinister look at me, Denise was all in as well.

the pot was worth 2,050,000 dollars.

What on earth are their CARDS!!! Hmm Royal Flush? that is incredible. maybe a full house. hmm ya. a pair of jack plus their pair of kings or aces. maybe just flush? PAIRS? No they wouldnt bet big crap for that! Royal flush. it has been ages since i ever saw it happening before my eyes.

I decided to safekeep my money. but wait. four of a kind man. thats a super big hand. but if i lose this 50k, i dont know where am i gonna find it back.

Denise kept smiling at her pair of cards.

I folded. i was prepared to go home with 15,000.

"Travers with two pairs, ace kicker.."

"Denise with full house king high"

"Andrew, folded, with four of a kind jack high."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. OMG TRAVERS WITH JUST TWO PAIRS, AND ALL IN??????!!! and i could have won. omgomgomg. WHERE IS THE ROYAL FLUSH!

it is a trick. no. i cant believe it. So Denise earned the entire pot of 2 million dollars. i was furious with Travers. even more, with Denise.

2009-04-30T21:51:00.002+08:00

TODAY

teacher let us see our chinese common test results. Believe it ornot, my grade for paper2 is so low that it cant be any lower anymore.

listening comprehension is just right on the dot

and oral is slightly one more bullet.

FOR PAPER 2. 28/80. => F9

listening comprehension => 5/10 = C6

oral 21/40 => C6

in order to get 50.00000000/100 C6 grade(10 significant figures),

i must get 46 more marks from letter writing and composition. which is HIGHLY miraculously mission impossible.

prepared to get D7 for chinese.

really man CHINESE SUCKS. haix its the worst language ever. with four vowels and all kinds of characters that a bunch of them sounds the same but have so different meaning, and bunch of brush strokes and dots here and there for each character. zzzz

Even got minus marks for copying the passage. (paper2) =.=

1st paper for common test died already. totally knocked out, kicked hard and owned.

now intensively studying geography. T____T

your voice sounds like honey. your name tastes like honey. your presense smells of honey.

2009-04-29T22:14:00.002+08:00

Bought lots of chocolates today from NTUC. to last me through boring zombie lessons...

yay just now played on msn with xinni. played tictactoe poker and 7handpoker. own me in tictactoe... 0.0!

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. i just love the piano shred transition from Love Story to Viva La Vida. nice

2009-04-29T18:57:00.004+08:00

It's good for you to understand figurative language, if you wanna completely understand what i am talking about.

Well the exams of common test are drawing near. and my ass is burning brightly because i havent been studying. and now my head is as cool as blue ice and heat has gotta transfer all the way to my head. GOTTA GET WORKING!!!

zz a few days left before its the crazy mega common test 2 day, PHYSICS + GEOGRAPHY.

phenomenal tasks.

So in these few days, im gonna carry out the memorising action plan. Read, understand, analyze key points, write, practise, practise, practise and (practise)^n where n = number of hours i could spend studying geography.

just like what i did for my SS test EOY exam last year. i went to memorise the 2 essays for Structured essay questions and bollywood! the two questions came out in one nice package. BUY ONE GET ONE FREE. hahas don need. i could just buy both of them at the FULL price (marks) with my memory. in the end i got 22/25 for my SEQ section. got some memory leaks somewhere... zzz but its proven to be 88% EFFECTIVE.

so what did i do?

first, read the textbook. 2. understand whats going on. 3. put them into point form. 4. write the points out. 5. write the whole essay out. 6. write the whole essay out. 7 write the whole essay out.

lol managed to write the essays out for a few times only. the greater the value of n, the closer you get to full marks.

THIS time im going to use this powerful brain of mine to get A1 for geography.

BIG TOPIC - DEVELOPMENT. really big topic.

gotta memorise lots of factors and indicators and reasons and policies blahblahblahblahbalbh haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!!

my ass will turn as cold as ice for sitting in my air con room chair for too long and my head will become as hot as a blast furnace for extreme heavy information processing and large use of brain juices and memory.

TODAY bpian idol was good. what i did today justified my practices. tata!~ though not very nice comments from Mr Colin, still did a good job and everyone did exceptionally well too! Woot. get in or not, no problem. i have the concert. ^^

watched some Mr Bean shows and ate some chocolates to keep my severe emo acute syndrome (SEAS) down. im on drugs man. hooked on chocolates.

I used to watch Godzilla on tv when i was a kid. very exciting cartoon adventure leh and see godzilla ripping buildings and battling baddies. well i thought that godzilla is super cute when its still a baby. but what if it would become a bad monster when it grows up? I would just take a knife and stab it through the heart. i wouldnt wanna take the risk. even if i could tame it, no way!

now swine flu is coming. oh man...

BUT dont worry. ive stockpiled lots of anti viral medicine and i also have the most powerful vaccine, drug, cure, antibiotics EVER. it is coming. maybe it is here already. i dont know. BUT DONT WORRY.

if i'm on God's side, who can be against me?

Feeeling so siaaaan.

I wish Zhengrui would have the guts to sing it all the way. and also wish that Longsiang could sing like a rockstar.and wish that i could play like eric clapton.

....

Tomorrow BP idol audtions. absolutely not looking forward to it. just give my best shot and I am prepared to accept any comments and any outcomes.

Yay at least someone on youtube said i play guitar really well. ^_____^ in my humble opinion, i need more practice.

dam man theres just one stupid thing about the maestro guitar i have now. its the bloody high stright height. the action is very high and nasty! zzz and the composite bridge is already super small. only way to get it down is with the truss rod, but i don have the tools to do it. not even the experience too. dam!

either i could make things slightly better by using a lighter string gauge or to get down to the maestro shop and burn some notes for servicing. zzz

One reason why boys like me are getting more and more stupid is because we just think way too much. thinking about this and that and this and that. but no action. and then will become sian. crap.

there is this big wonderful castle in a land. but it is separated from the other parts of the land, standing only on an island. the seas stretched miles away from the island. but step by step, i'm laying foundations of a bridge that will be as strong as steel. Others are also laying bridges, but I've started mine a few years ago. no matter how big the sea is, no distance can beat my bridge. this bridge shall be from my land, to the castle's land. nothing can stop me from finishing this bridge. through hell or high water, even though the tsunamis strike and the seas bellows, i will keep on building. after the bridge is completed, i will walk all the way back to home, while seriously pondering on a big decision. then i will return back to the castle, not empty handed.

THis Friday no school, yeah. Mens' Meeting. then later go Ryan's house with Jungang to jam for cellgroup P&W. and lol i gotta choose a praise song to lead. omg.

just don't know which is best. this is a great opportunity man. go for it.

Is it really impossible?

I dont know. really, I do not know.

because

There is no such word as "impossible" in my dictionary.

Yay today had a great day of practice with Long siang, Zheng rui and Xinni. waahahahahahah

tmr bp concert audition.

we are doing Love Story by Taylor Swift.

Take a sneek peak!

hard part is the plucking. >

and also Stop and Stare by One Republic

man this song is hard. the lyrics are very hard to catch.

RATE/COMMENT/TAG pls ty. your feedback is very much appreciated

Reason why we aint using music /backing tracks is because the school sound system is HIGHLY unreliable and we aint putting our eggs on the sound system of the school. its cooler to do it LIVE anyways.

sad, Xinni cant decide if wanna do a song or not. i just discovered that my dog has a lipoma. a fatty tumor, hope it aint malignant. keep my dog in prayer...

Tomorrow I have to get my ass out of bed really early and hop on the LRT train and get to school REALLY EARLY!!!

OMG theres a big crapload of wind blowing in my area. It huffs and puffs and BLOWS DOWN everything in its way and screwes objects upside down and up the ass. dam man at first i thought, WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON!

dam man must be some stupid influences of GLOBAL WARMING. big thunderstorm approaching. the wind comes silently and deadly. it is quiet and the air laid still. then a big battalion of air molecules suddenly bombarded on everything. and metal cans (used for burning incense) flew like balloons and flower pots were forced to commit suicide and their ass cracked into pieces.

it is just so sudden. and the whole sky is burning with dark red clouds and gusts of wind struck at any moment. and it hurled tiny bits of dust on my eyes and it hurts. I think the wind speed is about 40km/h. a not-so-friendly breeze.

THIS IS THE CURRENT SITUATION AT ONE OF MY BLOCK'S CORRIDOR.

Catastrophic Destruction. flower pots owned. shoe racks fallen. metal cans toppled.

lol

DAM man the air corn in class has caused diseases to spread. NOW, HFMD is prevalent so we gotta watch our backs and watch what we touch, step, or even kiss. no more french kissing. -.-!

and it caused the flu virus to spread around the class and dam man lots of peoples' noses broke down and leaked profusely. lols and its getting really terrible. Please la, wanna give us aircorn give us decent ones la. the air corns in our class so louya. not performing up to standard and its so dusty and SMELLY. zzz. might as well not have it. im cool with it. prefer natural wind and the fan above me plus the wall fan do great. who the heck needs the air corn. disable it and throw away. GOOD RIDDANCE.

Alright Irna came up with a fabulous petition. lol i thought it would just be a dumb piece of A4 size paper. but she used a big sheet of paper and let anybody sign, evne those who didnt take part in the bpian idol or school concert. YEAH MAN I WANNA JOIN. who cares if it falls on the first day of ISP. even Mdm Eio agrees that singing and performing doesnt negatively affect our studies. some singing and dancing would do us good and let us have so stress-free fun.

screw global warming.

zzzzzzzzzzz

just now time practice Social studies. the questions are rather unusual. never really seen before. so i think never hit highest lvl or probably misinterpreted the source.

And crap man. BP idol concert falls on "Christmas" Day... FIRST DAY OF ISP> zzz wahlao eh. Pray that Mr Colin will change the date, for sec 4's SAKE!

and damn man my pc is showing signs of elderly disease. zz sometimes cannot startup. bloody irritating. really shoudlnt have bought the bloody ATI gfx. sux, expensive, runs hot, and Nvidia kicks its ass really hard. i think must be prepared to buy new gfx le. zzzz

irritated

WEll today was a pretty good day.

Experienced a few shops with good service.

Like the Body Shop. excellent service. but she gotta use some mouthwash like Listerine before talking to customers. other than that im cool with the service. satisfied.

and also at sheng siong. wow the lady offered to carry the bulky product all the way to the taxi stand and that is a commendable deed. like that.

though these are like samll bits of good service, they contribute to the image of graciousness of Singapore. i like it.

and damn man got lots of english writings gotta do.

You know, from young I have always dreamed to be the king of my land. and i have lots of servants and a big limo car to drive me around. and even more servants to do my homework and to upload my photos and videos and also have the money to pay the best guitarist ever to come to my mansion and teach me guitar.

wah seh. just a dream. I have to do all of the jobs. the nice ones and the not-so-nice ones... grrrrrrrr. someone HELP me.......................

DAM MAN CURSE GLOBAL WARMING. these few days the weather is getting really hot. AS HOT AS THE SUN IS 1CM to the earth! we wanna counter the effects of global warming by turning on the aircorn. BUT ironically it will cause MORE GLOBAL WARMING EFFECTS. some day IM GONNA invent the technology to build sub-zero air conditioner, with the mighty power to set the air temperature to sub-zero temperatures. NOT JUST 16 degrees, BUT 1 DEGREE. ALRIGHT MAN!!! WoOOOTOTOotOTOTO

and the big generator will be as big as a football field. YEEEAAAAAAAH!!

another dream of mine.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE ON EARTH HAVE THE UNFUFILLED DREAMS?

the graveyard.

where people died before they could fulfill their dreams. some even died in their dreams. (literally)

FULFILL DREAMS TODAY!!!
