So after pizza, me, yh, aaron, nic, Tristan, cindy, samchye, js, max, Darren went to watch white chicks! Omg! Its like funny. not any usual funny. its actually funnier than monty python. And that says a lot. You just cant stop laughing, and sometimes you keep laughing because you cant believe they actually did/filmed that. This is one movie I’d rate 5/5. absolutely brilliant. Im like so getting the vcd/dvd. Yup. oh. I decided not to get ella enchanted because I already have it, and it would be dumb to get it. So anyway, we went to the library. I really didn’t want to study. So I read up on quantum physics. Its damn hard to understand. I got past about half of it, including the teleportation through quanta thing, and Schrödinger’s cat, but all the others just make no sense at all. Aim: to understand quantum physics by the end of the year. Im guessing it’ll be fun, cos I kinda have an interest in it, especially the possibilities of using quantum physics for teleportation. Yup. oh well, exams starting tomorrow. My mum’d rather I sleep early and get enough rest than study my ass off. So I shall get sleeping soon. Its 845 now.

Ok. happier stuff! I wont get all angsty. Me, nic, aaron, js and max went home early. At about 2. so gaui right? We took 12. yup. I decided to stop at 7-11. according to nick, Olivia had written a short story thing in seventeen so aaron and nic said I should buy it. They told me it’s a teen’s mag, but after I read it, it was actually more for girls. Um.. I had some spare cash so I bought anyway. Olivia’s story thing not bad lah. shes a damn good writer. Maybe even better than sb. But that story was kinda weird, I haven’t read it properly yet. I think the mag is somewhere around here. Ok. whatever. And they ran out of cornettos. I haven’t eaten ice cream in 1 week! Better get some tomorrow. Maybe a cookie cone. Yup. oh! And we’re watching white chicks tmr! I hope so, last chance to cool off before the *doom* exams *doom* whee~

Yuhui was niaoing me during recess. Something about vball and a certain girl. Ok. whatever. I went to the oc instead. I knew she’d never stop teasing me if I actually played. so now I dare to do the window the normal way. So I can start the whole oc thing again with all the stuff. I’d say about 35 secs. Oh. And now I wanna do the two ropes thing. I can reach the top but I cant touch the beam! That’s like sad because now I have to invert and touch the beam with my feet. Sadness. Oh. And another goal: to go through all 3 holes in the window. I keep falling down at the 2nd hole. I wonder how the others do it so easily. Shall have to come up with new method.
I got 19.5/25 for maths! Its like so amazing I got as high as that because I really screwed up section a. I even skipped one question. Stupid graph. Really kills your eyes. But I failed the history re test. 9/20. my history is screwed liao. It’s the subject which I have the least hope in. history was one of my best subjs last year, and first semester this year, I got a b3. then I keep getting so low for the last few tests. Its gonna be about a b4 or something lah. but if I happen to face a miracle during the finals, I might hopefully get an a2. yup. im hoping for a2. Chinese will save me. Chinese will save me. I must/will get top in Chinese. Or else… im doomed.
We had this weird time trial thing. For history. I think this time I managed to get by with some proper time management, for once. But I hope I got all my points in. and my handwriting isn’t too bad. I ended with about 2 minutes to spare. So I got real worried because I felt more points could be added, so I squeezed in more points. Yup. hopefully I can get a 75% for this, then ill feel more confident for my dismal history. ill be history.
Oh. I found out something. Theres a pretty high chance that a free throw will get in. I mean shot with your eyes closed. Theres this aiming line thing, and you just have to estimate strength and distance. That’s the part I fail at. All my shots go like right in the middle, but they keep rebounding off. One day I’ll find the balance. Yes. Then I will be able to take shots without aiming. I tried it with a 3 pointer too. Nearly got in, but I wont try it again, too dangerous. I was being gay (as in retarded gay, unlike nick who is secretly gay ie homosexual) during the match. I was screaming and stuff. Ok. nvm. Oh! All my serves went on target! Sho sho sho happy. Argh, but history retest. Argh. And received the stupid registration form from vjc. So unhappy now. Oh. Theres this song from the titanic ost that I borrowed from aaron. Unable to stay, unwilling to leave. It so so so describes my current position now. Everywhere, I see songs of farewell. Ive chosen three to send to three people. Yup.

eXpressive: 6/10Practical: 6/10Physical: 4/10Giver: 10/10
You are a XPIG--Expressive Practical Intellectual Giver. This makes you a Catch.You are a magazine-cover, matinee idol dreamboat. Parents love you and want to set you up with their kids. However, first dates are tough because it takes time for your qualities to come out. You are generous and kind. You think first and act later. You are cool in a conflict, but your practical side means if your partner throws out emotional appeals ("why can't we do what I want for a change?") they will grate on your nerves, even when the conflict is resolved. You're a romantic. You enjoy the thrill of the hunt, and you don't just fall into bed with anyone. You pay close attention to your significant other's needs, and this makes you an excellent lover and partner. The problem is that your friends and lovers may find it so easy to express things to *you* that they lose sight of whether you feel as comfortable with *them*! This doesn't necessarily make you feel under-appreciated -- you're too well-adjusted and self-aware for that -- but you may feel restless. Thus you seek adventure in your life outside the relationship to prove and actualize yourself. Of all the types, you would make the best parent. You are coiffed. Didja see "Big Fish"? 'Cause you're like Ewan MacGregor in "Big Fish."Of the 106953 people who have taken this quiz, 9 % are this type.
20 Questions to being a Better Person
Your score as a human being is 79.45.
Middle of the road, eh? Does that mean you're yellow? Yellow as a salamander frying on blacktop? Yellow as a urinal cake? Yellow as a delicious marshmallow Peep? Mmmm. Peep. Sometimes I think if it weren't for Just Born candy, I would just expel my life force and expire. Hot Tamales. Mike and Ikes. But I digress.Nicely done. You are robustly average, and I approve of it.
20 Questions to a Better Personality
Wackiness: 44/100Rationality: 46/100Constructiveness: 68/100Leadership: 78/100
You are a SECL--Sober Emotional Constructive Leader. This makes you a Politician.You cut deals, you change minds, you make things happen. You would prefer to be liked than respected, but generally people react to you with both. You are very sensitive to criticism, since your entire business is making people happy.At times your commitment to the happiness of other people can cut into the happiness of you and your loved ones. This is very demanding on those close to you, who may feel neglected. Slowly, you will learn to set your own agenda--including time to yourself. You are gregarious, friendly, charming and charismatic. You like animals, sports, and beautiful cars. You wear understated gold jewelry and have secret bad habits, like chewing your fingers and fidgeting.You are very difficult to dislike.Of the 30913 people who have taken this quiz since tracking began (8/17/2004), 7.2 % are this type.
Quizzes from a link off vina’s blog. politician. Right. Omg. Genie in a bottle playing on 98.7! the parodies are way way way better. I had predicted right, today was a happy day! Whee~ I dun even need ice cream now, but I wouldn’t mind some. Yum! Our English teacher is named mrs ang too. But not the e.lit one. Omg. Ann(i)e ang is scary. Ok. no elaborations here. Mrs ang is quite nice lah, we did analysis of two pieces today. The exams are so near it aint funny anymore. Geog was happy! Because I like passed this geog test. Yes. The last geog test was the only test I failed in 3 years. Oh. So I got top. how nice. Yay. Ahem. Mrs lee was on mc, so we got all noisy and stuff. Until recess. Omg. I did the oc in less than 25 secs, but aaron didn’t time! Oh well. ill do it some other day.
Rest of the day was boring lah. I took an afternoon nap to get out of my angsty emotions thing. Yup. im happy now! Cause I did well for the last two tests and a lot of other stuff has made me happy! Oh. And I went to the new popular at tamp mall! Its cool! Big and filled with lots of stuff. I went to big bookshop too. I got a pocket atlas for 1.90! its quite extensive.i like maps! Oh, and im considering taking up quantum physics. Ive a new found interest in quantum foam. All because of timeline. Couldn’t find it at popular! Sadness. I guess its time I start on geog paper.

im potemkin by the way. im sure i havent hurt your feelings, but i know ive been disgrace to everyone, especially my friends and those in my country. visa explained to me a lot of stuff about why you feel this way, but it was too late, i had already posted my rantings, and i found no way to take it back. i would like you to understand that that night i was feeling rather fed up with everything, and i was shown your blog. i didnt even read through much of the entry, and just blew my top and wrote that crap. its one of the worst things ive done, and now i face the consequences. i hope you'll forgive me, and give singaporeans and singapore one more chance.Mark 09.24.04 - 11:46 pm #
i already apologised dudes. and yah, i was being a jackass. hope you (utarempire) dont have anything against me, because i hope to put everything behind. its just one of my worst moments when my worst sentiments just came out and i dont ever want to remember it. i hope everyone who was affected by this whole issue will forgive me. and when i apologise, i mean it.Mark 09.26.04 - 3:30 am #
oh. and since im here, i better explain the f***king jap thing. i thought Dr Fujiyama was a jap (im still not sure what he is now), and that in not being a singaporean, he had no right in judging what we are like. sure, theres freedom of speech. it was just a big misunderstanding and im not a racist. i made a personal vow never to be racist after learnign about the holocaust and american racism.Mark 09.26.04 - 3:49 am #
and uh… according to vina…
Mark, he already accepted your apology. Really. You can quit it now. You're forgiven.I-No 09.26.04 - 7:24 am #
Yup. im grateful. And really sorry for myself. I cant believe I went that far. And all the disgrace ive caused to everyone else. Bet im gonna be ostracised tomorrow. Ok. so that thing was on Wednesday and nothing has happened. But I know that everyone hates me more now. Maybe SOMEONE’s (im not allowed to state the person’s name) hate-Mark campaign may be successful after all, by my own actions. This is a sad life. No more happiness. The pinnacle was reached in May, and now its gone below the neutral level. Yup. im getting more angsty. I need more ice cream.

We had nothing to do for 3 hours. I roamed around, watched vball and bball, and when this guy mr loh came along to play bball, our interest was instantly captured. Hes an art teacher, and playing bball. You dun usually see teachers playing bball. Omg. The scariest thing is, he’s so good the word to describe it cannot be uttered here. So me, max and sb were on his team, vs 4 other supposedly pro people. So it was like I got the ball, pass to this mr loh guy, he scores, the ball passed back to me, I pass to him, he scores and so on. Once in a while max and sb would score one or two, and I would do some intercepting, but this guy. Omg. Even when 7 of his scores were counted as 1 point, we pwned the living shit out of the other team. This. Guy. Pwns. Serious. Shit. As in REALLY serious shit. He’s better than anyone ive seen in real life action (ie not nba) omg. Scary. Me, max and sb were just gaping at this huge guy bouncing all over the place with cool moves and scoring like it was nobody’s business. And we couldn’t do anything about it.
Moon cake festival was just weird lah. mr yeo sang the first song. Heh. Hes not bad lor, for that kind of era. we played lots of hand games, you know, like chopticks and zha. Yeah. it was boring lor. Except for the mooncakes and food! Mooncakes! Whee~ I brought ruffles. Yay. Ruffles are always easily finished lah. w00t. lots of food. Then we hanged around the pull up area. I can do the semi-one handed pull up thing (ie just one hand on bar with other hand balancing body). But I usually do 3 with a boost from the ground at the start. So I’d count that as 2. the first time I did that, my hand already got blisters. Oh. And I did oc on wednesday in 25 seconds. W00t. as fast as sb! And the weird scout guy. Two aims now: get from one end of pull up bars to the other end without touching ground, so like hang all the way with an acid pool below, and also, dare to actually do the spinning around thing on the bar. Then I’ll think of something else to fulfil. Yup.
It was 10 when we left school. Such a beautiful night. I waited with nic for her parents with samlow and junkiak, then sb came along and I went to take 12 with him. Js and max had purposely missed one bus, so they were still there. We had man talk. Yeah. and I took out sprite and cups and we drank it like beer. W00t. cheers to life! I dropped at katong sc, then went for supper with my parents and some friends until 1130. so its 1 am now, and I better go to sleep before I get sleep-depravation.

Things only got interesting after recess. Frantic writing for 2.5 periods straight. History test with Justin. I don’t see the point of pair work. You cant do two questions at the same time. And the discussion takes off more time. But me and Justin finished the paper, although he said question 4 was hastily done. Oh well. maths test was real bad for me. Section a was SERIOUSLY screwed up. I’ll get 25-50% for sectA. But sectB was way better. Im hoping for full marks, but my logic was pretty screwed too, for the congruent triangles. Apparently no one, not even dear sb, could prove question 2 to get the full marks. All hope fails.
Omg. MOVie! We didn’t even finish watching it today lor. Like the really really final part left. things started to get hot. The trial scene was comical. Bassanio and Antonio were like stroking each other and Antonio was kissing bassanio. Ok, maybe not kissing, but his lips were on bassanio’s cheek. And Portia had this “omg. My husband is gay” look on her face. And Lorenzo and Jessica were nearly caught making out in their front yard. Omg. SICK. SICKSICKSICK. Im gonna buy the dvd. Yup. Superb edition of MOV. W00t.
Yh told me on Wednesday that it was the final day to go bugis. Guess what. We went today. Ate at mcd. I signed up as a members (that’s how the lady said it) oh. I wanted to buy this weird pc.com magazine special issue which was going for just 5 bucks at kino. So tempted. I went to the neoprint shop and was going to ask them if I should buy and they nearly dragged me in with them. Resist the temptation. I went to semb music and kino all alone and looked at stuff until they were done. Omg. Ella enchanted is finally out! It was out in august, but it wasn’t in the stores yet. W00t. just 12.90. should I buy? I think I will eventually. Even though I have it on me comp. original is better! Anyway its way better quality. Oh! And kino was playing this song I really like. Casablanca. It took me an hour to find the correct song. So now I have it. *happy!* oh, and I bought an orange pen for yh. Nic says im being overly nice to her. So I’ll stop lah. its getting kinda weird for the both of us too. Good fwens k?
I went to pasir ris library. Took 12 with the others. We talked about lots of stuff, especially certain people in our class. Ok. to counter this hate-Mark campaign by our dear Darren here, there are some things I have to do: stop trying to get credit for projects, because it doesn’t matter unless they take away my marks, and stop the whole ego thing. Yup. only then will Darren find no huge faults against me. I wont flame him lah. there are lots more stuff to flame him about, but im just too nice! Whee~ ok. I’ll just stop here.

I was gonna rant about this guy. Just read lah. Visa and vina made me feel guilty and I decided not to in the end, because apparently some of my assumptions were wrong. Hes a Singaporean and he’s criticizing us for being dumb. Just read and you’ll understand why im so pissed at people like him. Even though visa explained to me why he was liddat.
Ok. Today. Nothing interesting in particular. Im just out of words to say lah. im gonna rant about Darren. was going too anyway. Look. if u want to say anything about this, just stfu ok? Especially vina and visa. Here goes.
Darren was chao ap today. He was like bossing everyone around on the vball court, being the self-appointed coach he is. Apparently some vball ppl have already gotten pissed with him. Amanda is the captain and should be the one organising and coaching the whole team, not Darren, because shes a vball pro, being in the vball team, and the only expert vball Darren sees, is on tv. So frequently he tells everyone he has mastered some vball skill, and when he tries to show it off and flops, he gives some lame excuse like the net is too high or his hand got hurt. And it gets worse. During science, he held the whole class up for like half an hour with 2 questions that have obvious answers. When everyone except darr knows the answers, and he keeps insisting on understanding it, and everyone just gives up on him. He’s even more despo for marks than Eugene, and when someone doesn’t help him in something he can do/learn himself, he gets pissed with that person.
Its all about the popularity issue. Apparently, as aaron claims, Darren is the most popular dude in class. I dun see how, when quite a few people are “discontent” with him. During projects, he takes credit for something that isn’t even his work. Ok, for example, you did an essay or have some great idea. Good ol Darren comes along and says something along the lines of “not to insult your intelligence, but this sucks, I’ll edit it” and then on the final day, he will give you that piece of work and complain to you he stayed up all night to complete it and he should get the credit, when the bulk of it is actually your work. And it aint just me. Lotsa his group projects members claims this too. Anyone notice he sucks up to “popular” people, most prob jus to be popular. And everyone of his blog entries were just ranting about the imperfections of other people, maybe you should take a look at yourself. Like how I admit that I got a huge ego. Ok. Im just ranting lah. I know im not in the position to criticise you, being the imperfect person I am. So, sorry darr. I know you cant help it that you’re so popular right?
I guess I was in a bad mood whole day long. And I wasn’t in the position to judge him. But I had to get that “out of the system”. Anyone who feels hurt by me (unlikely.) im sorry.. Yeah, everyone should be happy.

Like anyway, my group presented for geog. Argh. I hate being captain planet. Ok whatever. I think our poster’s real real nic. Thanks to ama. Artistic. Heh. Well, Chinese was ok. We watched 2e vs sec3s in vball. Omg. S3s suck. Ok. Im not that blunt. 2e serves high and mostly on target. Yup. Well, the science test was ok, I think better than other sci tests. I have already lost 3 marks or more. That’s about 90% left. higher chance than other tests. Maths was blehish and we copied lots of notes during history.
I went home after school. I still haven’t started mugging. Im just not in the mood to actually start. Maybe I’ll start some history later. I dun feel too well.

Took a taxi to amanda’s house. I have realised it is actually possible to reach home by 2pm, if you take taxi. For bus minimum is 40 mins – 1 hour. Anyway, I went home first, again, and then bought stuff. Its become routine. Oh. We ate maggi mee at ama’s house. I added garlic chilli sauce and French fries! W00t. I dun like garlic though. Yeah. im not allowed to disclose what we did there. It was fun though. Oh. Ama has the powerpuff girls movie! Sadness lor. I was talking to ama over the phone jus now, and realised that every one of our phone convos usually end up in music discussion. Sadness. Ou de yang! But I love qing fei de yi the best! Whee~ and my God give me the strength and memory for tomorrow science test. I don’t want to flop science this year.

I tried to study science just now, just scanned through the notes. Too busy uncovering msn’s secrets. Most people think they cnat find out who has added them on msn. Like good ol’ Eugene over here. Omg. Im SO smart. Like. Go to tools > options > privacy. Right in the middle in this weird button which allows you to view who has added you. But not blocked you lah. use msn block checker for that.

Yup. So we went down at 145. vball! Whee~ I played a bit. Until 345. then sb timed me on the oc. 47 seconds. I got stuck while coming down rope! It was swinging violently and I couldn’t slide down properly. Then sb went to watch soccer and I sat with Nicholas talking about stuff. Apparently he was once a flight sim fan (just like what I am now) and he says he pwns at flight sims. ONE ON ONE! Omg! Heh. I haven’t played any of the new ones though. Oh. And he wants to be an alpha-tester. You can actually get paid minimum US$7k per MONTH for playing games. According to nic lah. if u want to believe him. Anyway he got the skills. It doesn’t take much education to fulfil their requirements, as long as you’re a game-pro (like nic). Yup. So that’s the job for him. Envy envy. 7000/mth just to PLAY GAMES. Omg. Oh. And he was telling me about this replay video of a cs pro. As in REALLY pro, those who help in game development. Supposedly its like 1 pro cs guy with an ak47 with 30 bullets vs 32 other people and he killed all of them in one clip. Like satay headshot 3 people. SCARY. And this guy can listen to footsteps and just turn around and immediate headshot. Im trusting Nicholas this time. But I do envy those people. Alpha-testers. What a beautiful occupation. So he timed me on the oc. This time I got stuck at the wall, couldn’t get up until third time. I took 37. I heard him say 47 seconds at the wall. So I was about to give up. And he was like MARK! 27 seconds! Wtf lor. So I got up. And improved by 10 seconds. W00t. 37 seconds. Next aim = 35 seconds or even half a minute. Yup.
Sb was sleeping in the canteen. And Nicole was eating. Weird. Whatever. I went to play vball! W00t. chicken wing! I did 5 of those today! And I missed only one! Whee~ my best game was the last! Aiyah, why did nick leave? Then I had to take his position and mine. Then iris left to join the other team! So it was like me, nic, yh, and max! vs the PROS. Sho sho sho bad. Eh. But we survived! Nic and yh were telling me something about an empty spot. And how empty it was there. And none of them would take it. I thot for a bit. And I realised what they were NIAOING me about. You two SO EVIL! YUHUI ARH. Its like I dun like her! You two HORNY girls. Omg. What am I saying. Ok whatever. Im losing my sanity. They can make me go mad.

Heh. Went to the oc during recess. Yes! I can do acid rope and acid wall! (no touching on green patch thing) and I completed the oc within 2 minutes. Now im trying for either 1.5 minutes or double rope. Oh. I nearly got up double rope. But how do you grip the top? even reuben and sam chye cant! The top of the rope is too thick lah. my hands are too small. Oh well.
Well, my hands got pretty screwed up because of all the climbing and stuff. Guess what. History time trial. Wah. You can get cramps in your hands like that lor. Omg. I finished right on time lor. Finally did some history thing on time. Maybe its because of the pressure. So I’ll pressurise myself during history and geography exams. Yup. Then I’ll have enough time. But your hands REALLY hurt after that. Maths was ok. We learnt enlargement. Quite simple to do, like similar triangles. Literature was ok too.
Went to ama’s house after school. I dunno what we have done so far. I think the text’s done. About 60-75% done. Or more lah. is not good at estimating. Yup. Just need the finishing touches. Oh! Did I say I got ANOTHER silver pen? It’s a triplus gel liner. Saw it at big bkshp while I was buying poster materials. Too good to resist lah. its SILVER. Omg I love my money! Yup. I was playing jedi knight 1 just now. Omg. The fps is like 100! So 1337. and I only have 64 ram! Omg. I love the repeating blaster. Its still my fave gun in all star wars games. W00t!

Maths! We learnt rotation today. Wtf lor. Its like one topic a day. And 3 assignments all due on Monday! Im not gonna give a damn about them. Lit was sad too lah. mindmaps. Recess was ok. Vball! W00t. oh. My notebook got raped during Chinese. By nic. She SPAMMED it! With omgwtfbbq. And I didn’t cheat on yuhui’s feelings lor. You bad person nic. Im a nice guy! Sorta. Ok whatever. Science was ok. This guy can teach quite well. not sure yet. So we got to go off early because of no irs. Played vball, it rained, ate lunch, played more vball.
My hands got pretty screwed up because of the hard vball. So after about and hour or so, I sat down and sulked. And got a drink. Then played bball with dick and koon. Finally know who they are! Heh. Nick called them the underwear guys! =S nick is just HORNY lah. I was quite stupid to go played bball after my hands got screwed. I couldn’t shoot at all. Chopped one free throw and that was it. I could only play support. Yup. Then it started to rain again. And we ran to the bus stop. And then I got cake and went home with ama. What a day. I shall go study geog now.

Omg. Geog test. I spent too much time on first question again! But it was 8 marks. I think I gave substantial points. Full marks for mcq! W00t. I hope I pass this test. I better anyway. Then we went for the towner gardens carnival briefing thing. They only needed 10 people. By the time we had finished discussing, the 10 places had been taken up by the other classes. So we were REJECTED. Ok. Whatever. Im being very lame today. So lame that instead of playing ggxx at js’ house, I went to challenger and popular and sulked because they just released the sims 2 and I didn’t have enough money to buy it today. Wait. I had. Ok. Whatever. I want the dvd edition! And I couldn’t find ella enchanted at semb music! So sad lor. Oh well. it was a raining afternoon. And I went home and sulked. And watched saing private ryan. W00t.

Oh. Ice cream dude did assembly. INNOVATION AND ENTERPRISE. SOOOO important to us, eh? Geez. We’ve had enough of this enterprise shit that’s being drummed into us every SINGLE YEAR. Irs, ip, ivp, Bizlab. It never ends does it? The video was interesting though. The one about our students, not the edu minister. Oh! I tried the whole oc today and completed it! I got stuck at the wall though. One time lah, then finally got up. My aim now is to complete the course within 2 minutes and also to do the double rope thing which I haven’t tried for 3 weeks.
Mrs lee gave us a lecture on the exam stuff during pccg, and also some quiz thing to assess ourselves. I never evaluate the questions. That’s why me tests are doomed! So from now on, I’ll continue my study method, which worked quite well for me last year, but I’ll READ the questions this time. And elaborate in the appropriate manner. First thing to study after population = MERCHANT OF VENICE. First test with study stuff is literature. I got a minor study plan. I dun usually use study plans, but this is going in order of the test dates. Yup.
Our new sci teacher is an ANUS too! He’s rather interesting. St’s andrew’s sec, then Anderson jc and then nus! He seems quite fun too. We did intros. W00t. oh. And for d&t, it was drawings all the way. So far I haven’t gotten any drawing thing wrong. And usually the quickest to finish. I was the first to hand up the test, and I hope I got full marks. I completed all the questions! We were only supposed to do 3. sadness lor.
LAN! W00t. finally. My ft sucks so bad. I think I’d even lose to nic. Ok. Maybe not. But I think I’d lose to aaron. Stupid expansion theory. Me night elf is screwed now. Undead! Oh. Dota today. I got to use the drow ranger. Obviously I’m not suited to that. Not used to such great power. I keep running away when I could have attacked. Well, maybe I’d go back to medusa. Yup. Oh. Yh called me. She was like oh noes mark I lost the RING! The ring = farewell gift! And I’d only given it to her today! Oh. Decided not to marry her. Heh. We dun even like each other! Ok fine. I wont “cheat” on you anymore ok? I didn’t even go out with her lor. Sho bad. Yh gonna make me cry again! Dun worry lah, you’ll be in me heart 4eva k? (omg! I sound MUSHY!) Aiyah. Gonna buy a mood pendent for hui yi because I owe her a long-belated bday prezzie. As for sb… I’ve let him lose enough oh me stuff liao. Most prob my parents will bring him to change airport for dinner sometime. I think he’d like that. Yup! I dun wanna study for geog test. Im in too good a mood. Whee~

We gathered in the holding room and just talked and talked and drew stuff and read stuff until it was the dance. The first round was pretty easy, but we screwed up a bit, even though the others (including the portion of the audience which we knew) applaused. I guess I wasn’t used to dancing on elevations. Nearly fell off somewhere in the middle. But still got by lah. we went to visit the eds exhibit thing! W00t. we rock! I’ll really miss eds! Boohoo… I found some string there to tie up the pants with. W00t. then we had a LOOOONG rest. It was so long that som choir ppl (I called yh) went to BUGIS and took neoprints! I was like omg, why would they go to bugis when they still had a 2nd performance. But we had till 2pm for lunch! we waited in the holding room for some lunch 2 dollars thing, then gave up and we all went to mcd! Talked and talked and ate stuff. I love bbq sauce! Oh. And Yvonne and Audrey fell for the warm ice trick! Heh. Put the ice in chilli sauce and it’ll give off heat. Bwahaha. And they squashed the chilli sauce packet! SICK.
A stroll back to this holding room. Omg. Did anyone see nicholas’ new haircut. SCARY. He aint meant for crewcuts lah. looks so weird on him. We watched some sgp idol. Heh. Lemon tree! Dhs guy lor. He was in Chinese orchestra! Er hu. So weird. Second dance was better. Now the sj and choir ppl and TEACHERS were watching us. Evil! The 2nd dance was better. Like we remembered to bow this time! And the moves were better lah. whee~ finally over! Fun while it lasted. Something ill remember. Just like eds camp, kscope, eds night, farewell party, s2 lvl camp, and the whole month of may. These are the memories that are everlasting. Bliss all the way. And I dun want it to stop. On the way home, I didn’t wanna talk, just think and think. And it’em was playing graduation at the open house! It was so emotional. WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY? I DUN WANNA LEAVE. It’s the equal prospects of which both choices have for me. They tear me apart. And that tear goes through my heart. The farewell I don’t want to face comes nearer towards me every day. Its been heartbreaking all the way. From that moment I received the letter. So full of joy, these days have been, yet, so full of sorrow. Tell me you’ll wait for me. Please.
a moment in time.

Bball with Eugene and Brandon before dance. Then vball with Tristan and aaron and yh and two more choir ppl. Aaron received a call and he told us to go to the foyer to rehearse. Cs and choir were there too. And I guess most performing grps. Saw band and co too. Aiyah. First dance of the day was screwed up. Went to d&d room to practice. And practice. Until 12 when the dance instructor came in. she gave us some tips. Like how to walk with attitude. And pose. Then after more than half an hour of delaying her dance lesson, we chased ourselves out to the sec4 wall-less. (by the time we got out, all the syf dance ppl were there)
We ended at around 130. then looked around for rui jie to go to ama’s house, but we wasn’t in school. Played bball with sam, sb and ying xiao. I can score without looking at hoop! W00t. did it like 3 times. But 3 times tyco is possible lah. received a call from Eugene. Apparently he and rj went for lunch at kfc/mcd w/o telling me. Fags. I waited 1 hour for rj lor. Anyway, we got to ama’s house.
I was forced to go home and get supplies, then go to big bookshop and buy more supplies and actually got to the stupid 1 buck bubble tea shop to buy stuff for them. I got myself a choco oreo shake! W00T! its so rocks. It’s the best drink ive had for that kind of price (1.30) whee~ oh. Why am I the grp leader? Ama should be lor. Anyway, I did the research (20 pages which was cut down to less than 10) help a bit with the poster thing and uh… played rogue squadron. Omg. Abel sucks at rs. I pwn3d the game liao. Flight sims! W00t. look. abel. When you see a tie, go for it head-on, aim for the sphere and shoot. Don’t forget to pull up or down to get away from laser bolts and the explosion. Yeah. that’s the berserker tactic. Or use hit and run. Just aim properly, and before the laser bolts touch you, fire off some of your own and pull out. The computer isn’t as smart as a human. (unless its you of cos. Jk) yeah. and I pwn3d the death star trench run (apparently the hardesr mission in rs; it’s a locked mission) with an x wing. Speed all the way and got out of the lines of fire and you must be fast enough to swerve from the blocks, then send a proton torpedo into the chute. whee~ I must go reinstall rogue squadron. Finished pearl harbor liao. Too easy. ARGH! I want il2 gold pack! *drool*

Lol. Weird quiz. Anyway, today was real interesting. My dad wanted to bring me all the way to school, but it was like 930. 1 hour early. So I dropped off at parkway. There was ABSOLUTELY nothing. Parkway in the saddest state. Heh. Cold storage only. I was roaming around cold storage then I decided to call aaron. Was supposed to meet him to do science proj. he was like 10 mins away from school! OMG! So I went to take 196. I missed the first bus that was there. So I waited for 15 minutes. (oh. And I beat my mole high score today. 1010. heh. Nick and Yvonne. You have NO chance of beating me now! Bwahaha!) stupid 196 refused to come. Oh well. I FINALLY got to school. They were playing bball! Aiyoh. Me and sb’s bball today sucked. Sadness. I want my 3 pointer streak back! *sob* argh. Dance was ok lah. my dance sucked today too. Too tired loh. Not my fault. Blame gta! And solitaire! And HISTORY HOMEWORK! Argh. Oh well. ill sleep early tmr to save energy for Saturday. The sadness that I am. Haha. there was this huge break for us. And me, sb and aaron were talking about stuff. Like porings with rods and rods and other gay stuff we talk about. Aaron was later to comment that everything he talked with me and sb, we’d talk about weird stuff, and everytime the topic changed, it was still on the same thing. =S *confused*
Anyway, we played a bit more vball. Then fball. Then I went to kfc with aaron, Nicole, Tristan and xin rong. I stood in the wrong queue! The counter was closed! And there was no sign to state that it was closed. Wtf lor. By the time I started eating, they had finished. And they went to mcd to get more foods. So I was left alone. =( anyway I finished the chicken (w00t! chicken skin rocks!) and bought fries at kfc! I traded my free evm cone for aaron’s mousepad thing! Whee~ xin rong was weird lor. She walked with us all the way to the 12 bus stop. Then when we got on 12 she walked to some other bus stop to take the bus. Must have been 31 bus stop which is like FAAAAAR away. Weird. She’s kinda like yuhui. And luff a lot too! Haha. oh well. oh. Nicole thinks she’s me counsellor now. On all the lovey dovey stuff. And trying to find me a gf. WEIRD. Kinda confused about me and yh now. Its giving me SERIOUS PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS! Whatever. We talked and talked about stuff. Then I got off, and took 291 to tamp library. (oh. Judie was up in her apartment! Haha. we saw each other!)
I borrowed this cool book on what its like being a mac user in a pc world. It’s a superb book. Stuff you REALLY never knew about the apple and macs. And the story is hilarious. Ive heard about all those switching things and how easy it is to use a mac and how stabler it is compared to the pc, and even use one a few times. Damnit. This book makes me wanna go out to that apple store just above borders and get an imac, and then go down to borders and get the book. Book is called “Macintosh: the naked truth” its good. 4/5 on amazon. I’d rate it 5/5. im gonna start reading gathering blue by lois lowry tonight. A sequel-like thing to the giver. Should be good. the giver was astounding. So I got home, happy and stuff. Although im still upset about vip. I wont bring it up again lah. must be HAPPY! And BUBBLY! Just like yh and hy want me to be. HAPPY! =)

we went to visit mun yi again today. She’s been transferred to a normal ward, and seems pretty fine. She had to go for something, so we were chased out. And they got slurpees again. I saved my hair from the hair spray this time by staying indoors where you aren’t allowed to spray the gay stuff. Then we took the shuttle bus to bugis. Whee~ bugis is like THE hangout. No more parkway parade. Arcade + lan + neos + kino + sushi + yoshi = bugis! Whee~ teen’s paradise.
The first thing I did there was to buy the ring for yuhui (finally.) she chose some multi-coloured stripy ring thing which darr described as yuhui-ish. Yupz. See? I’m still so faithful to her! Heh. Not too ex lah. But I spent 15 bucks today. Just like the fateful March Tuesday I spent 30 bucks on lots of peoples’ prezzies. Breakdown of expenses:
$2 (arcade)
$4 (ring)
$4 (neoprints x2)
$2 (custard puffs + cornetto)
$2.5 (sushi)
Oh well. oh yeah. time crisis sucked today. The machines weren’t responding! Sho gay! and so did crisis zone, even though I got further then usual. We met Tristan, Vanessa and Audrey at the neoprints shop! After their movie (Garfield), we took eds neoprints! Before that we took shps neoprints! Whee~ sure, they’re a waste of money, but they’re memories! Nicole better scan them in… went to darr’s house to play vball. Played on the road. Which was quite a dumb idea. ok. Tomorrow im not going ice-skating. Must concentrate on homework. Sleep early today so I can rise up early and gather motivation to actually start homework. Especially history, which is horrendously difficult. Cut-throat. DOOM.

I miss the good old days when times were so easy and relaxed and when I could finish all my homework in school and spend my afternoon playing. Ahh… times gone by. When we were all still innocent and knew nothing of the pain that love caused. But yet, we did not know the joys of a teen’s life. Everything has its pros and cons. But I do wish to relive those moments I had so long ago. Like go back to may this year. The best month I ever had. Kscope, eds night, my bday, the holidays, and oh.. all the love we experienced. Romance and joy and bliss. And blissen! What great times… if only. If only.
What troubling times we are facing now. The jaws of the exams, the tearing apart of your heart because of the parting. Farewells and suffering are all we face now. Threats everywhere. Terrorists, fear. If we got over this patch of darkness, we still don’t know what lies on the other side. I heard that life in vjc is hard. Lectures, constant note taking. Worse than the note taking we have now. No help given at all. What sadness. The prata I had just now was damn oily. But I took lime juice, which according to my parents, cleanses the oil. Oh well. gonna visit mun yi tomorrow. But I don’t think everyone can see her before her dad gets pissed. I’ll let those who haven’t seen her see her before I go. I really hope she gets well. miss her too…

My parents are in the prison ministry, and they invited some of the ex-convicts to church and we had lunch with them. My dad is like in 4 ministries (ushering, soccer, prison, counselling), so I actually wonder how he copes together with his job. He admitted to me that he was earning 10k/mth last time and now its less then 5k or even 4k. which is still ok lah. oh well. my mum keeps complaining im wasting my cahs on lan (which I am) so ive decided to abstain as much as I can until (like everyone else) after the exams. Tomorrow, if im not called out (anyway everyone’s doing sci or geog. My sci is on thurs, my geog is on fri) ill start the foundations for the history assignment, geog and sci projs. I watched quite a nice movie called bridge at remagen. Very tense wwii thing. Played some aoe2. pwn3d three armies, conquering step by step, slowly but surely, as I always do.
Aoe strategy for Aztec vs Spanish:
1) jaguar warriors to counter siege and infantry
2) eagle warriors to counter villagers and cavalry
3) scorps (focus fire) to counter the Conquistadors, infantry, fire ships and weak cavalry
4) trebs to blow away the buildings, and counter other siege units
5) fire ships to counter cannon galleons and galleons
6) villagers to build castles in strategic positions
w00t. oh well. quite bored now. Its time I start homework; ie tomorrow. Anyone free to go out tomorrow so I don’t have to touch homework? Please?

Damn. Gotten back into my obsession with eating ice cubes. After abstaining for… half a year. Oh well. I just finished 3 cups of ice. Anyway, back to today. My parents brought me to hans at the weird parkway building there. Omelette! Whee! And we went shopping too. I got a box of smints (which was later on finished by the eds people, yuhui, Eugene and yun yuan. And me too lah) my prediction to mdm john came true. We did nothing for eds. Just enjoyed the air con and gossiped. And looked at the shps photos. Js = mickey mouse + big mouth + cuteness! Haha we learnt about the violence that went on in gong shang. And aaron’s early crush! (whos next door) and cindy’s apparent violent tendencies. They’re a weird bunch. (quote a certain yx: she is as beautiful as an angle. And a certain hy: angle? Acute or obtuse? Reflex? So SWEET right! Hehe. I never sae who ok…)
Me, sam, aaron, cindy and june went to the oc. W00t. im doing the rope and wall at least 4 days a week. Its like the only constant training I’ll have. And maybe I’ll add the first tree to the list. Haha. they were listing out the family tree. Cindy is june’s jie, aaron is her… mei? Or jie. Whatever. And im her best fren! Haha. dunno lah. anyway, I went out with yuhui, as promised yesterday. And so did yun yuan and THE Eugene. Oh. The two of us decided to fen shou (I guess that means break up). Im so depressed! Haha. she says we’ll just be good frens now. That nice right? Sorry we left you at the cybercafe! And no yuhui, I don’t like iris -_-“. I love you 4eva k? haha. yun yuan bought some silver jewellery. In the end I didn’t go with yuhui to buy a ring for her. Me and Eugene went arcade. Trashed him at cs 1.6 (I just realised that the cs at zion is v1.5) (iceworld: 31+ : 12) and time crisis 2. (so hard to keep score. Anyway, he didn’t manage to get past to level 2. I think I won him by 10 times over) w00t. so yayish. I ate some nice choco pancake! Whee~ then went challenger. They got the 1337 games I want! Shopping spree at challenger once comp comes along. Got the money, whos stopping me? Oh ya hui yi. I’ll still get you the mood pendent thing k? and yuhui too. Love ya both lots! Whee~ (I have SO gone mad.)

History was ok. We talked about the merger stuff. I got mrs lee to digress three times! (if Singapore was really a democracy, why we sold Christmas island, and foreign politics) About half the lesson gone. Oh. Im thinking of taking political studies in vjc. It seems… interesting. All their tactics and strategies. Yeah. acc was gay! We arm wrestled and other stuff. Won terence because of his weak wrist. Oh well. pe was ok. Seriously hilarious game of vball. We just couldn’t help laughing. Even mr siva was laughing his ass off. And mrs lee came to watch us play vball! So evil. She was also laughing at all of us! Hmmph. Played some vball during recess. Then went back to study history. oh. And we arm wrestled again. Yuhui vs ernest. Then me vs Jeremy. Heh. I won him three times in a row. He was like, all those games were not serious! Right… (NOOOO its Britney spears playing on me comp! no wonder its so screwed.)
Ting xie during Chinese. I have learnt how to rush learning ting xie in 5 minutes and get full marks. My technique works for both ting xie and tests. It’s a SECRET FORMULA. (lame) just use the han yu, then write the word. Usually within 3 tries you’ll get all correct, then you know you’ve clinched full marks. Yeah. the tkamockingbird style group presented during English. Im really interested in origins of words and that kind of stuff. That’s why im so keen in learning basic latin. I have a short list of latin words. You know, like dulce, patria, valles, mons. Oh well. I wonder if they offer it in vjc. Science was ok lah. miss chen is leaving! Going to work in some pharmaceutical company. And we got her ankle socks! Whee~
The history test was ok. I spent too much time on the first 2 questions, and then my 3rd question was screwed. Instead of using the contributions of other communities to counter the statement, I wrote what the brit govt did not do. Then at the last minute I realised I answered the whole thing wrongly. but my links were all about the contributions of other communities, so there’s some chance Ill get marks those. Hope hope hope. Played vball, cball and bball all the way till 630 because of waiting for ama. In the end I didn’t even go home with her. Oh. Max and js and Nicole were like game masters. And they created two games of dungeons and dragons for me to play. Their npcs were like everyone else. With that kind of game masters, and that kind of player (me.) you could tell the game was pretty screwed. One minute I was dipsy with a long wang on its head, then I was a horny pink poring. Omg. And I kept getting killed by great balls of fire.the mystery potions were gay too! And the forfeits were sad. What. Ran around canteen, ran around table, hang upside down by legs. Oh well. yeah it has potential. But this kind of gay rpgs just wont appeal. Especially to me. -_-
So we went to the oc. Vanessa was pretty upset about the vip stuff. Apparently no one told her that we were going to apply. And she got left out. She made me talk with her about it. Don’t get so upset lah! we can still see one another! Like on bus 12 and stuff. Cheer up. You still have sb and cindy and lots of eds people there. Vanessa’s nice lah. oh well. took 30 home because hui yi and Yvonne were reluctant to take a bus with Eugene. So they persuaded me to take 30. we talked about Yvonne and randall, and hy and yx. Yx’s nice. Fine hui yi. I shall stop teasing you about him. But just don’t reject him k? he’s been real sweet to you. Then Yvonne and eugene left. so I talked about stuff to hui yi. Oh well. she thinks I like iris! Wtf lor. First yuhui and rui jie, now you. So evil. I don’t even know her, and she doenst even know me! Just by names lah. I’d rather go out with yuhui! Whos daoing me now because she thinks I’d rather go out with Olivia then her. Now when did Olivia get into this. Im getting rather confused. Im too innocent to understand anything! I don’t like anyone and no ama, im NOT DESPO! Its causing me serious psychological problems! Boohoo. I need a hug. *hug sb* oh well. got home at 8. finished the pacific campaigns. W00t. flight sims rock. But they’re becoming too easy. Maybe I’ll challenge Nigel. He thinks he’s good. heh. 1v1 on il2 anyone? W00t. argh. Now that I have a 1337 gaming pc, all I need are the games. Yay. Got 2k bucks for that. Shopping spree! I thot aaron wanted to go on shopping spree during sept hols? I’ll spend my shopping money then. Whee~ but there’s lotsa homework! Sadness….

History, then maths (which is so boring now. The insurance; accident thing was just some problem solving thing which isn’t even in the syllabus, and we spent like a whole week on it), then literature. We finally finished presenting. Took the mrt home. Went for a short shop with Amanda to buy ovalteenies (which she claim I have gotten her hooked onto after yesterday) and mood pendant for hui yi. Couldn’t find one. Amanda tried counselling me. And she was like I’m a ROLE MODEL for this kind of stuff. Must be experienced with a certain ri rugger… She says ying xiao’s chances on hui yi is zero. So evil. He’s nicer than you! Hmmph. My whole day was filled with this kind of talk. Romance and angst. Oh well. I slept 2 times while trying to study history. I finished studying, but just very briefly. Its like past midnight, so ill study properly in school tmr and finish off the history pairwork tmr morning. No vball! Sadness.

Well, we went to visit mun yi today. But first, we had to get a gift for her. Me, darr, ama and hui yi went to tamp mall (third day in a row ive been there) we got a cow called mumu. Whee~ I think mun yi likes. Darr had to leave for lunch, so there three of us took the mrt and nel there. I was all angsty on the train because of the gay music I was listening to. Ok. Whatever.
When we got to ward 65, the others were already there. Most of them had visited. I went in with reuben and sam chye. Haha. mun yi showed us an article about a guy who looked remarkably like sam chye. She seems ok lah. Symptoms (high fever, rashes, red eye, cough) not too bad (there’s something with arterial problems though), although I noticed the higher-then-usual heart rate. I hope theres a diagnosis soon, so the doctor can get rid of this weird illness, and she can be back with us. We wish her get well soon and stuff, and left. I went in again with rui jie and vina and we told her about yesterday: the miss fugly chen, iron bok’s prezzie, and also some other funny stuff. At least we made her laugh, but we had to leave because of the doctor. Get well soon mumu!
Then we went to 7 eleven. Shared a slurpee with hui yi. We paid with rui jie so we got a can of coloured hair spray. I got mine painted some weird colours. I heard that there was a smiley face on the back of my head. Right. Heh. Everyone look hilarious. And hui yi’s green apple coke combo thing mixed up and turned into a sickly green colour. But it tasted nice! Whee~
Then we took some bus to bugis. W00t. arcade! I went machine gunning at crisis zone. Too much recoil! And every time I let go of the pedal it refuse to respond. Stupid thing. But I didn’t die that easily lah. too pro ymy. *bhb* (omg. Just heard olivia’s going to tjc. Sadness) haha. oh. Then we went to take neo prints! W00T! so cool. The first one was pretty screwed up. The second set was like super, but they were amazingly tiny. Argh. But I still love neo prints.
Went shopping with hui yi and Amanda for amanda’s formal shirt thing. Its quite hard to find a formal shirt in a place like bugis. Oh well. oh. I promised hui yi a mood necklace because I supposedly like her now. Dun worry yuhui, I still love ya lots =D and ill still get you the mood ring. Heh. What a day. But I foresee worse times (hist test, lots of homework, parting) but still must be optimistic (hols, love, life) yeah. as Tristan and dr evil say, peace out.

Argh ill stop ranting. It was quite a good day, but ended horribly over msn. I dunno what happened. Oh nvm. Anyway, the food was nice, the concert was nice (intuition should have gotten in) and we went to the bball court near ama’s house. Scored a few 3 pointers. And got caught in the rain. And played polar bear. Its really late now, my mum’s pissed, so I gtg. Maybe if there’s time tmr ill elaborate. But theres no need to. Gonna see mun yi tomorrow. I hope she’s ok.
