 Cynical? Not even close! If anything, you're a bit naive. Overall, you enjoy life and try not to be paranoid. Even if you've been burned before. |

Haha you think London’s quite cheap right? The thing is, those are in POUNDS. as in £££. Good gosh, and at a current exchange rate of 1 GBP = 2.93370 SGD, it’s crazy. I mean, those are the prices of stuff in Singapore in SINGAPORE dollars. like movies are 7-10 in Singapore dollars in Singapore, but also 7-10 pounds in UK. wah. Good gosh.

This one’s one of my faves:
“I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it
So I've made my mind up
I must live my life alone
And though it's not the easy way
I guess I've always known
I'd say goodbye to love
There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories
And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something I could live for
All the years of useless search
Have finally reached an end
Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
From this day love is forgotten
I'll go on as best I can
What lies in the future is a mystery to us all
No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong
But for now this is my song”
“When I was young
I'd listened to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well
…
Lookin' back on how it was
In years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that
I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more”
“And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him
Takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself
He plays the game
Without her love
It always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it kills
Goes without saying”

went to lib, borrowed a nike book and a London guide
went to city hall, met mich and pam, bought balloons for Xh and charissa for majestia at raffles city, had lunch, walked around raffles place, went back to raffles city, saw 2 people *ahemahem* at Suntec, go back to school

1. Got back CA1 results. =) haha not bad lah. Chinese, lang arts and math pulled me down. I’m turning to the light side! my sciences is pwning my arts! AHHH. oh then ss marks. haha GO GROUP. we pwned. amazing la. one of the classics. 37/40! woah. I think our research was superb. and we had quite a lot of fun too! haha esp bringing yufei to eat @ old airport road. =)
2. Got back Electives report. Omgosh. I love my essay! Totally. I can’t believe it’s actually going out. In my church and in one of the bible colleges and in some poly. Haha mr chua wrote really nice comments. It’s the masterpiece I’m proudest of, ever more than the 25/25 ss test 2 last year, and the SWOT analysis in sec2. So proud!
“An excellent, excellent piece… This essay was very well put together and would certainly be worth recommending to anyone wanting a short introduction to the state of Christianity in Singapore today.”
if only I had gotten the same marks (84%) for the ss assignment or for some other core curriculum piece. blehh. oh but actually my ss marks are pretty good liao. haha. yayy. actually I’m very satisfied with my ca1. yayyness.
Omgosh my ego is overwhelming me! but I can’t help it!
I totally *beam* =) hahaha yayy. it might be my best report for the year!
3. London Trip briefing! I totally love the booklet. AHAHA. WOOOOOOOO LONDON HIGHHHH =) OMGOSH YAYYYYY. WOOOO.
4. SOCCER MATCH.
Oh gosh. It was orgasmic. As in totally. I mean like woah. First, it was the school spirit. I mean, even in EPL matches etc etc, you never see that kind of spirit. Everyone feels the pain, everyone feels the joy, everyone feels the bliss. the cheering is incredible. and I’m shocked as how long I managed to cheer for haha. and it’s amazing. I think IPers make great cheershouters. totally la! With unsurpassed power, with relentless force, with overwhelming passion. That is the Victorian Spirit.
It was an amazing match. Blardy, farking amazing. 1st half left us in kinda downcast mood. cos MJC scored 1, us 0. But the cheering was relentless, unending, unwavering. it was AWESOME. Woah. Then the crowd went wild when we got one in. Then before long, it was the last 4 mins. You know, last year, there was something called the “six minutes of madness”, in which in the “2005 UEFA Champions League final, Liverpool F.C. made the most extraordinary comebacks in both Champions League and football history, regarded as the greatest footballing comeback of all time”. They scored 3 goals in 6 minutes.
VJC, on the other, superior, totally pwning hand, scored 3 goals in FOUR minutes. pwnage. total. it was orgasmic. I mean, we were losing 2-1. then suddenly, in such fury, with such speed, with such precision, with such grace and such beauty, 3 goals. in the last FOUR minutes. we were all cheering our lungs out, something in the back of our minds told us doom. But then, in the most amazing comeback I’ve witness. like just wow. 3 goals in 4 mins. breathtaking. it’s no wonder soccer, according to my dad, “is the most beautiful game on earth”.
It’s “where legends are born”. The Starhub World Cup ad captures the essence. what beauty. what splendour. what glory.
Then there was an uproar, as the whole VJC contigent went up in cheers and singing “we are the champions” and the Victorian anthem and with neverending cheers. I love VJC. =) nowhere else, NOWHERE else, will you find such spirit. really.
I know I’m going for next year’s game.

I managed not to think of the end for a very long time. Tine’s post just brought it hammering down on me. After London Trip, it’s all most prob gonna be downhill. Ldn WILL be the pinnacle. after that… well… I dunno. I’m just gonna miss you guys so much. those that really matter to me. I know I’ve done a lot of weird things, bad things, evil things sometimes, retarded things, hurtful things to those I care about. But know that I will never, EVER, find friends like you guys. Wow. Great times, weren’t they? Crazy. just crazy. thanks so much guys. I’ll never forget. I know at the end, I’ll sit down, alone, with all of you, with everyone, or just alone, I will, under the midnight sky, and then, it will play all over again.
"Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Now I long for yesterday."
Because yesterday will never come back.
I’m thinking of changing my signature font. Verdana’s kinda big. Hmm. Something smaller, more elegant. I like Tahoma, or maybe Lucida Sans, or Franklin Gothic. I think I’ll save it for the temp revamp (now I’m wondering if I even have to time) haha. so anyway, hmm interesting day.
Physics, Chinese. haha Chinese book pwns HCL’s one. WOO comics. =) bio, ss. OI ms toh and mr yang quick mark la wahhhhh. the suspense KILLS. WAHHh.
then drama. haha slept before that. din’t even notice lit was going on in class. lol. syf results announced. we din’t get gold. we got… silver. haha good enough. (I guess I’m not too disappointed cos I’ve learnt not to lift my hopes too high nowadays. keep getting disappointed by ppl n stuff. hahahaha.) I guess silver’s good enough. I mean it was definitely a great run. as in woah. just that the plot was too rushed. how can one squeeze a seminal novel into 30 minutes! impossible. we did our best. =) We did it without professional help, unlike other JCs. thanks for the great experience. directors, cast, crew, trees. =) drama syf rocked. and mr young is right. the results are subjective to 3 people, and we’re only silver to 3 people. =)
then drama exco speeches, qna, voting. haha quite fun. ohh there’s a post-production party coming up! oh no we don’t have any more meetings. so how! arghhh. have to organise. so now I’ve to organise class chalet and co-organise (with all the other nominess) the ppp. I love this batch of drama haha. ah well. better start working. sip proposal. I’ve got 2 proposals! HOW!!! how to choose! grrness.

| You Are Duck |
 Exotic and unusual, you are a bit of a rare bird - literally. You're known for being soft and succulent, though at times you can be a bit greasy. |
| You are Ocean Blue |
 You're both warm and practical. You're very driven, but you're also very well rounded. You tend to see both sides to every issue, and people consider you a natural diplomat. |
"With all that I've done wrong

And butterfly kisses at night. "
There must be some truth in fiction. Some actuality in lies. Because there is no way such can come about from nothing. There must be truth in whatever you’re saying. Only then would our sanity hold. Only then would logic hold. (Because logic is based on this “truth”) Only then would this earth hold. Yet, we know that truth can never be found. We will never know. Does that mean it does not exist?
Then comes the concept of objective facts - “facts that are true (or false) independently of what anybody believes or knows about them, or has evidence for believing. The mere fact that it seems to you that you're jumping between buildings doesn't make it true that there really are any buildings there.” That is why we will never know. (But what if we already do?)
Today was fine I guess. Lol “whys” guy is so weird. hmm. oh lang arts lecture was actually quite cool. I don’t think I’ll mind lectures (if they’re as such). haha. oh then bio. wah seeing our ca1 marks are entertainment ah oO lol.. ah well.

Trivia 1: The word "lasagna" is derived from the Greek word "lasanon" meaning chamber pot. The word was later borrowed by the Romans as "lasanum" to mean cooking pot. The Italians then used the word to refer to the dish in which what is now known as lasagna is made. The word lasagna or lasagne (plural) now simply applies to the dish itself. The British generally use the plural "lasagne" to mean both the dish and the pasta while the Americans commonly use the singular "lasagna".

Omgosh. I love that quote from Lisabelle's blog!
it just takes one person to make you feel unloved.
That's exactly how I feel right now. It doesn't matter if everyone else cares and the person you care most about doesn't seem to care about you right now. But then, as I told her, it also takes just one person to make you feel loved. =) and it's that same person. Haha.
let death rain down. we will stand strong. because of Him, I will not be afraid. I will not be afraid.
You know, I can’t believe I let myself into your trap again. I don’t know much. People say that I think I know a lot when I don’t. But indeed, I don’t. Because you never know who’s talking about you behind your back, who secretly hates you, who’s friendship with you is one of convenience, what stuff people are hiding from you, what emotions, what feelings they are hiding from you. So how can I trust you again? You keep destroying me. You breath life into me, you give me hope, you give me strength, then you say goodbye, and you take it all away. Your friends try to give me reasons, excuses, to cover up the lies you hide. But deep down, I know we’ve already fallen apart. I don’t have to know much. Because I know enough. Maybe one day you’ll come back, maybe one day you’ll see. You don’t have to ask me who you are. You already know.
You don’t even care anymore. When was the last time we talked? When was the last time we called each other?...
hmmm today was a pretty light day. I actually got math! chi was some compre. bleh. and my test. argh. my Chinese test. ahh. then free periods! haha. spent in antisocial isolation. physics. yay I’m happy about my physics marks =) they were the best part of the day. then class comm. meeting, rm. Ahh. RM ahh. We sort of changed our topic. Hmm but now we’re set, once I go to Nike and try and get materials. then drama exco interview. ah well. haha.
it'll be ok. i'll be alright.
this time, you’ll wash away my sanity.

our imperfect hearts can never comprehend what perfect love is.
went to the hospital to visit an old friend who got severely hurt in an accident. miraculous healing, his mum called it. a near-death experience. and God saved him. I prayed for him, for God to give strength to him. then I realised that we must always pray for God to give us strength, because without it, we would be nothing. we’re faced with so much everyday. so many frustrations, stress, troubles. we would not survive. everyone needs God’s strength.
haha then went to xx’s house after bras basah (woo I love art friend. oh pop@central is damn cool. omgosh.) math proj. haha unproductive blehh. I think I’ll bring an ink refill tmr. haha then resonance haha go Eunice! the 2nd half was better haha. so fun! haha. ahh. tired. and haven’t finished homework.

I’ll looking forward to inter-ct games now. We’re gonna pwn. There’s no other way of putting it. It’ll be a field day. 06V13, are we gonna do a joint team? ok nvm, they don’t come here. no matter what. v13 will rule the day. woo!
anyway, lang arts was cool la. gender thing. 2 days ago, and yesterday too, I was thinking about how guys aren’t supposed to be high and cheerful and happy. If they are, they’re gay. Right? that means guys shouldn’t be positively emotional, only negatively emotional, like angsty, angry, fierce, depressed, resolute. I just don’t get it. I forgot what the response was today. something about they can be, but then, it isn’t like this in real life right? you go “yay!’ they go “gay!”. even in our class. hmm. identity is damn interesting. because that’s what life is all about. you do things to show people who you are. wealth, fame, spirit. everything’s about identity.

WOO. haha we were super high after syf. I remember hearing someone said that from drama, you can get a high found nowhere else. they were right. WOOOOOOO =) it was a great run, according to the audience and teachers. best run yet. yay! talked and cheered on the way home. omg I love yo vjc! haha I love starting it too (as in, when there are people willing to cheer along. if not it’ll be like the “FOUR THREE TWO ONE! GOOOooo…” haha) and when we got back, vjc was pwning some other jc’s ass at softball. vjc rocks. =)
one day you’ll find, you got what you deserve
he’ll be walking out the door, walking out on you
the emotions will set in, yet you won’t do a thing
have you ever been there?
is it good enough caring but not doing anything?
you never even asked
you’ll find he’s found someone new, someone better than you
you’ll scream, run after him
he’ll be long gone
goodbye, goodbye.

see the cadence of a whirl
take hold of your banner
you’ll face the light again
smile, never let down
silhouette that binds, escapes
infatuation with peace
enlightened by demise
caught in a world of romance
escapades into the valleys
rise above once again
you feel the walls closing in
breathlessness overcomes
yet you soar
soar with wings like eagles
and you’ll sing this song
a moment in time.

anyway, yes. I had a good talk w tine over dinner. thanks for listening. not much I would say here. just that I know I asked for the truth, now I know more, but I’m not that optimistic and hyper anymore. I am torn between regret and enlightenment. ignorance is bliss; knowledge is power. hmm. anyway after drama, my parents brought me, Soong Ming and Jacqueline for supper. ahah all shps de. haha talked quite a lot. interesting.
oh! and during drama I saw two things that inspired me. first, I saw two ants struggling up the wall, carrying a dead ant. and they were swerving from side to side. but they pushed on to bring it to the top. then another ant, carrying one of our grains of rice. struggling and stopping and swerving too. then I saw another ant rush over to help him and together they raced to the top. haha such spirit is evident in nature, not just humans. sometimes we even have less spirit than ants. haha.
it’s time to see the beauty in this world.

| You Will Die at Age 79 |
 You're pretty average when it comes to how you live... And how you'll die as well. |
Haha I borrowed this nice London photobook! The architecture is splendid and so are the parks and scenery. it’s the kind of stuff you can’t find in sgp.
I’ve seen so many beautiful sunsets. photos, real life, paintings. What if we could collect the beauty of the world since its dawn? Snapshots of all the beauty in the world, the light in all its darkness. We could draw its warmth and love and happiness.

| You Have a Choleric Temperament |
 You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things. Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life. You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation. You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon. Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall. You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others. At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults. Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion. A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior. |
wah my mum talk a lot of crap leh. bring in religion, say what God chose PAP to lead us, don’t know how PAP is good, what the parties are condoning, what they plan to do. she thinks that just because PAP saved us from communism then they should continue to rule us. logical fallacy of induction. say what the opposition is rising because of our new unfaithful, ungrateful generations. yet, it is us that allows the pap to improve. now she says she admires opposition parties cos of their courage. sheesh. my dad just said my mum is like the gullible Boxer from Animal Farm. Haha. woah pap is facing increasing opposition. I think that's good. Keep them on their toes.

cherian george’s talk was quite good. a lot of refreshing insights. haha he signed a ndp postcard for me. a bit ironic heh. anyway, book sale. SL’s on the home run liao. we’re finally gonna be done. thanks to all those who came down and supported! =) went to big bookshop and looked around. nothing much. wasted time. went home. I need to do EQ! but I feel so much. so much I want to say. but I don’t know how.
"I still need you
I still care about you
Though everything's been said and done
I still feel you like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you"
I can’t believe I’m still afraid. Afraid to look you in the eye. It’s like you still got a hold on me. And I’m gonna be free. One day I’ll fly away. I’ll grow out of this. I thought I had. Guess I was wrong. I’ve got to move on. MOVE ON.
"And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound"
MOVE ON.

Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get”
Today was a day wrought by disappointments and a tinge of jealousy. won’t talk much about that. Got back Chinese and math ca1s, not really up to my expectations (i.e. able to save my EOYs). Physics project is finally on track. haha but not sure if our idea’ll work tho. ss was ok. was stoning by math. I really have no interest in algebra. I’m more of a conceptual-spatial person. that’s why I like playing with chemicals, theoretical physics (w/o the eqns), epistemology etc. I can’t stand the calculations and equations. to me, all I need to know is how and why the world works. don’t need the little details.
Now I’m starting to stray from the edusystem. I prefer to go online and read up on what I want to read about, not what I HAVE to read about. our education system is undemocratic! I want to have a choice to know what I want to know. ah well, my idealistic self rising again. anyway, drama. I’m no longer a tree! =((( boo. now just crew. sigh. haha but still quite fun cos the ppl are nice. I think drama this year is great la. haha. drama nite was a blast. thanks for the memories.
And these are the people that cry behind closed doors.
“Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on.
Dear Lord, give me strength to carry on.
My home may be out on the highway,
Lord, I've done so much wrong
But please, give me strength to carry on.”

then decided not to pang seh naz and go for the workers’ party rally. hahaha. quite cool sia. but blardy muddy. now have to wear new pair of shoes tmr. which I don’t like. but no choice. wah. they talk cock sia. really. then cheer cheer, like vjc liddat, but of course not as good. then the MP nom say “PAP” the gung ho people in front shout “BASTARD LA! BASKET SIA! HIJACK WORKERS’ PARTY!” and it continued for quite long. we left at 9, after buying some flags. haha quite an experience. a lot of comments about us doing projects cos everyone knew we weren’t voting. lol. but it’s good to see the opposition voicing out, and this will balance our lightning party. posted on subjectif about this (of course, in a more politically correct light) photos there too. 2 only tho. I shall burn a disc of the videos.

YOU HAVE A CHOICE
In light of the upcoming elections, I went with a friend of mine to the Workers’ Party rally at Tampines, since its my hometown. (Our teachers are organising an excursion/outing/trip to another WP rally on Thursday in the east, they don’t confirm venues). Nearing the venue, we could already see the throngs of people and cars we had been cautioned about. It was like one huge rock concert, complete with surround sound and the merchandise and the cheering and the audience that spilled out of the field, across the roads. And the field was damn muddy – 1st point: they could’ve gotten a better venue. 2nd point: the WP wasn’t even involved in Tampines GRC (PAP vs SDA), and it was surreal seeing East Coast GRC posters everywhere in Tampines.
Rally for 2 May 2006
East Coast GRC Venue: Open field beside Tampines Safra Time: 7pm to 10pm
Personally, I felt there wasn’t much substance in the speeches. Mostly they picked out the nitty-gritty details like having to pay for PAP-implemented lift upgrades, and having to change window rivets. I wondered how much of these really mattered. Then after a few lines, there’d be cheering. They just had to say “PAP” and vulgarities would spill. I think the Chinese speeches were better. I had to translate for my Malay companions, of course. There was one point I thought was relevant – that the PAP was running the country increasingly like a company, with investments, profits, rising taxes and fees/fares, quoting “our contributions and the success of government policies are valued in dollars and cents”.
It was pretty weird being the only students there. Heard a few comments about us “doing project ah”. But to me, it was good exposure to the political scene of Singapore. I noticed the audience (of rather impressive turnout) was divided by where they were standing. Way in front were the ardent supporters of the WP, then behind them stood the less vocal ones, then there were those who just listened (i.e. us) and way at the back was reminiscent of a National Day parade, with all the standard merchandise – flags, newsletters, wristbands, brochures etc. Yet, it still proved to me that Singaporeans aren’t so politically apathetic after all, and it restored my faith in Singaporeans and our national political scene – it wasn’t so stagnant or one-sided. It’s good to see that the opposition parties are making their views known, as they always have, but this time, they’re willing to fight harder, louder, stronger, and the voice they give will balance the dominance of a certain party, continually reminding them that they cannot slack or abuse their power.
After all, quoting WP’s slogan, “you have a choice”.

(and din’t you just insult the class when we were speaking by calling all of us bastards?)
Samsamsamy}}: our class is seriously stupid
Samsamsamy}}: you all are bastards
shows what you think of the people in class, no? really, wth, it was uncalled for. and don’t expect us to pick up after you. that’s not what you voted the class comm in for. and I think you were (are) being a bastard by treating zq like he’s some kind of slave. he did a great job, but that doesn’t mean you should take advantage of his kindness. think about it. thanks, but no thanks.
