3.1 GOOD STUDY HAVEN

ok i lied, since i reformatted my computer i havent had time to install the program to upload pics from my cybershot so i cant post the baccalaureate photos yet :(

so i've spent most of the week mugging for about 14 hours a day in school. theres this empty classroom, 3.1, which i particularly like studying in. its like the 2ad1 form class and its always empty and the location is just nice, like the void deck and library are so accessible from there. and theres no noisy people like in the hub! but then again sometimes when im in the hub i make quite a lot of noise too. i guess its a hub thing, mugging there leads to talking which leads to more unproductive stuff like (exploring the school at 9pm with all the lights out).

yeah, su and chang are so adventurous and pioneering, they particularly enjoy roaming the school with all the lights out 10 days before the most important exam of their lives. but seriously, maybe end october is not the most urgent time to explore level 7 toilets...

in other news, im finally ranked to captain on area00! if u guys dont know, area00 is a damn fun game to replace dota with cause it only takes up 3mins a day and you get so sick of clicking that after 3mins you go back to your nov 2003 maths paper 2 question 5bii.
ABER:


yeah. you guys can start to make your accounts on korea server too! cause su and i have this uber plan to like OWN the area00 world after A's. how exciting. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

um, im enlisting in march. so im most probably going back to relief teach in barker. it would be quite fun. and enriching. and fulfilling. but im not too sure if their have vacancies, and if there are better alternatives than teaching rowdy, violent boys whom i once resembled. yeah, whatever, back to mugging now before f1 qualifying later at 12! (yes f1 qualifying is at midnight today damn sian)

ACS

you see, ac is a bloody hax school right from the very start. the only way to get into the primary school is to either stay 5m away from the actual school, or to have a parent who had graduated from an acs related institution before. so in good ol' 94, my father enrolled me in what he thought would be the best education for his son, since he himself had received it.

so in primary 1 i walked into my classroom in the first level of the clocktower block in the barker road campus with some sort of apprehension, unsure of what the school held ahead for me. it was pretty thrilling though, being such young kids, and the campus so old and huge, we would spend recesses trying to explore the school, play catching but never finish the game because of the sheer size of the compound, or dare each other to run up the spooky clocktower staircase. haha, it was a pretty fun childhood. acps also shared the campus with the secondary section, acs (barker). even when i was 7, when i looked at the way those guys behaved, i kinda made up my mind not to continue in that school. little did i know that 6 years later, it would be the very school i had entered. maybe instead of playing catching, i should have studied a little harder.

but barker wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. if anything, it transformed me. it taught me faith, it thought me to dream, and to hope. although i cant testify much about the "value added"-ness of the school, because academically, i decreased in value, i can say i learnt much more than math and english in that school. acs barker was also the place where my relationshop with god grew. in primary school, i would attend chapel and listen to devotions, but not really appreciate what was being shared. perhaps it was how god gave me so many chances in those four years, and so much hope. barker was also the placed i met my best friends, the ones i could really trust, the ones whom i know wouldnt desert me for all the money in the world( but probably for a dota game they would). i met 4a3, the best class i could ever wish for (until 2se1?), 4a3 was a bloody good experience, ill remember those boys forever.

acjc was a different experience altogether. i mean like suddenly, CO-ED. damn scary, i suppose we were all suddenly very self conscious, but in time we all got used to it. of course, being from barker, we all had to get used to paying attention and cutting our hair. but it was all good for us. if barker created me, acjc refined me. meeting the acsi guys were a shock. i mean, we were primary school friends after all. how could 2 schools stand for the same values, but yet be so far apart? academically? in terms of student behaviour? public opinion? i seemed to be blessed with being put in great classes. i met 2se1, 2se1 are a great bunch of people, if you take away one of us, you wont have a complete class. these folks made my acjc experience complete, they make my want to go to class daily, cause its so damn fun. im sure we'll all do well for our A levels :)

when good ol oldham made acs in 18 something (its too long ago i forgot), i daresay he never expected it to expand into an entire family of 6 schools. but acs is not just an institution, thats too empty a word. acs is an identity, every person who passes through its gates will learn something from that experience. every boy who's life its changed will forever have the values the school stands for deeply imbued within him.

i know it sounds damn corny, this school has changed my life, its made me who i am. because its the only school i know. i also know there'll always be people like zhihuan who hate the school as much as we love it, but at least we know why. you can also find these breed of people in acjc, unhappy, disgruntled, full of hate, these are the people who dont want to be here. oh yes, you'd be suprised, so many kids appeal every year trying to get in, yet there are people within the school who hate it. they'll never find their place in our culture, because they didnt want to.

im damn freaking proud of this heritage. and im gonna preserve it as long as i can, even after i leave the school.

:) cheers and happy baccalaureate

next post on pictures taken tmr!

you see in every acs school that i've been to, i've received honours at least once. or at least that was so until i came to acjc. but seriously, my cca endeavours in this school are really pretty messed up haha. but i guess i just have to make up for it by going on stage one last time, the only time it matters.

some guys have started to receive their enlistment letters. i haven't gotten mine yet. actually i kinda hope i enlist in april, i'd fancy the free time to do things which i really wanted to do. like maybe go to cambodia and help the children, then step on a land mine and lose a few limbs, get downgraded and work as a clerk in the army. not a bad life eh? except i reckon the land mine part might hurt pretty bad.

i think about half my class are pes c and below. so they can slack off and play dota for 2 years, quite fun. but i was thinking about it, being a clerk has so many more merits. like going home everyday to see your parents and watch your pet cactus grow. and like if you only work 9 to 5 then at least you wont be so worried about your gf running off with some poly guy while you're trekking through the jungles of borneo, sweaty, exhausted, tired, with just the thought of her keeping you going. haha, very ironic, but thats just my imagination (life is more cruel, she'll run off with landon su). so i guess we should all turn gay cause then our gay partners will be there with us in borneo too. haha

um, school's ending, my next post shall be on that. 12 years in acs is quite hard to put into words, i guess im gonna need some time to compose all that. but in the mean time, study study study!

HAZE

ABER
ABER
ABER
WHY CANT I SEE ANYTHING?

its damn hard to breathe, how to study? its so foggy, i cant read my notes.
the haze got damn f-ed up today. im like almost choking already.

but then again, not being able to see anything is sometimes good. ignorance is so much better than knowledge.

i had this great, long post planned so well in my head earlier today. but in the end it came to naught because im too tired/ suffocated/ troubled/ worried to properly think now.
i guess i need some sleep

oh shit. dx's msn nick is scaring the hell out of me. 38 days left to A levels. ok, typing that made me suddenly want to mug now. so i guess i have to end here, hahahaha

ok i think i got over my prelims. so i think im ready to talk about it now. i've thought it all out, lying in my bed on friday night, unable to sleep until 4am. i think god wants me to mug more, i know that sometimes im really quite slack. if i want to do well, i should devote every waking hour to mugging, and not just waste time chatting on the phone or thinking about my lost love dota.

actually, i think doing countless prelim mcq papers kinda contributed to my mess up too. like after doing so many mcq's, im too used to working things out quickly and taking shortcuts. not showing adequete working and stuff. even so, i dont think ill ever in this life of mine be able to accept the fact that i mugged so hard for physics, and still screwed up. but i guess for prelims, effort doesnt equate to results.

when i first got the papers back, i felt this rush of hate towards the entire physics department. why did they have to mark so strictly and be so picky? why didnt they appreciate the effort that i put in? but now i know, they want us to realize many things, that our answers must be well organized, we must know what the examiner wants us to see from that question, because examiners are essentially dumb, therefore we have to show every single small formula, step, equation, proof, definition, statement, SI unit, diagram and whatever other thing we learnt in the first 5 minutes of each lecture (before we fall asleep) this 2 years.

i must say im not looking forward to the end of the A levels. you see, while peeps like dx are busy counting the days left to the start of A levels, im counting the days left to the end. its a kind of dread to realize that my 12 years of schooling have gone by so fast, and that there are less days left to my NS enlistment than i had to mug for A levels. haha, time to get back to the books. i know god will not forsake me, as will he not to the many other friends i have in ac who have done badly. he will honour our hard work.

ok la i realize that i was stupid. god has a reason for putting me through all this shit. i will continue working hard, he will not forsake me.

MUG

ok please pardon me for using the f word in this post, im really quite pissed off. you see, i spent so much bloody time doing physics in the entire month before the prelims. after doing like 3 papers a week and all that shit, all i get is some shit score. then for my fucking chemistry, i didnt even study at all, i did like an infinite amount more physics than chemistry. and my chem grade can still beat my phyiscs? i mean like WTF lar. why didnt my effort equate to my eventual score? this sucks.

what is god doing to me? i thought he would at least reward all my fucking effort for physics in some way. FUCK

oh shit, i need to cool off

first day of the last term of school :(
today, i was reminded how little time i have left in this school. im so gonna miss all the fun and good times i've had, if only i could stay in ac foreverrrrrr. but i know i have to move on, there are greater things to accomplish for God's glory.

to commemorate this day, we took stupid photos

lihao's and my first chem lecture in about 3 months. you see, we found the opportunity cost of attending chem lec too high, we could done much more productive work in the library. behind us is the rare sighting of clemens paying attention. in the background there are random classmates being studious, zheng hao wondering what we're doing, and yeecheng's hairband.

at this point, clemens got bored of the chem lecture too. but the reflection from the lights above spoilt the photo.

waiting for gp class to start.

ok la the following picture wasnt taken today but i decided to upload it anyways cause i found it in my phone.

a happier day:)
those were the days, when the prelims still seemed far away.
now, the road to the A's lies stark ahead of us.
a road which we have no choice but to travel.
but then again, i love this road. hahah

at first, frostbite didnt seem like such a bad movie. only that it was in swedish and we had to read the english subtitles for the entire duration of the movie. but at least there was a hot swedish chick as the female lead, even though she had a swedish name that sounded retarded, saga. who the hell will call anything saga? wtf. but anyways it had all the makings of a cool vampire show where the heroes slay the vampires in the end. until the idiot director decided it was cooler to turn the entire town into vampires, and so he did. sigh, if that show had a dawn of the dead kind of ending, maybe it wouldnt have been so dumb.

swenson's coffee sucks. i had the worst latte in my life last night at the PS swensons. i mean, if you know that your coffee sucks then maybe you shouldnt go and charge people $3.90 for a small cup of it wtf!!!

um, i started mugging. its pretty fun to do mcq's actually. but im just worried ill burn out too fast. dunno, daryl told me that dk told his class to slack off for the entire hols, because next term was going to be uber hardKHOR. but he didnt tell my class anything, so i guess we are allowed to mug during the hols. haha.

so since i've officially quit dota last sunday night, i have loads of free time now. im not exactly spending all my free time mugging, but im doing more meaningful things with my time. like in the past few days, i've read a lot of random things, its pretty fun to read these kinda stuff and just broaden our minds. like for physics, i was reading about maxwell's equations and light, and einstein's relativity. omg i dont know why we're not learning that for A level physics lor, you can only truly appreciate einstein's gennius if you see what he did in relativity. and maxwell, omg another genius not allowed to display his findings to generations of JC students.

my heart cries out for them.

haha i changed address, i've always thought singwhenitrains sounded damn gay, but i never really got the chance to change it.

so while thinking of a new address, i consulted sean ng and he told me that i was asking for suggestions because i dont know who i am, thats why i cant think of a proper name for my blog. then he proceeded to suggest a gay address "searchingfortheanswer.blogspot" since i was searching for my own identity. yeah, great help he was.

then later that day, i realized that actually there was a unique word that people would associate with my name. STYUIOP. hahaha, my email since primary 2 beat that bitch! so when people see styuiop, they think of ST. therefore ST's blog should be STyuiop. then i called qing, and qing told me he reckoned it was a good idea to change it to styuiop too, which made me have second thoughts about it cause qing's good ideas are always bad.

but anyways, i still changed it. so there you go, something new to type in the address bar when you want to get to my blog. but then again i know that most of u lazy people get linked here from class blog or something.

the break on friday was pretty good, i just dotaed the entire day and got pissed off enough with zhihuan to run to his house to throttle him until i realized that asshole doesnt have one and i'll probably get throttled instead since he knows how to fight karate or some bullshit now. ah well, ill just wait till they legalize firearms cause no matter how many ha dou ken's you can do, you cant stop my bullet. HAHAHA.

yesterday was supposed to be the buffer day, you know, like when i try start mugging again i need time to get used to it, but in the end i just ended up boozing at hog's breath cafe and watching man u get owned by wharton. hog's breath not bad la, except they dont serve heineken like wtf....

theres F1 later, 2 ferrari's followed by 2 renaults in the first starting positions! how fun.

prelims are suddenly not so fun anymore.

i had never thought that i would ever feel stressed out this year. or at least, not so soon. but last night, while mugging for physics, i had my first real taste of stress. that horrible, sick feeling you get when you're under too much pressure, when theres so much to do but so little time left to do it with. and you're so helpless because you cant do anything about it and no one can save you from this unbearable, pressing load. that feeling sucks. i remember towards the end of sec4, i felt like that every single day. shit, i hated it.

at least im glad the written papers are all over, just chem mcq left to mug for :)

tomorrow, im going to take the whole day off just to chill at home, i think i deserve it. i havent had proper, undisturbed sleep for weeks now. i really need this break, no matter how short it is.

now i know what the A levels are really like, and i used to think those suicide/drop out rates were ridiculous because of all the fun i was having in ac. hah

and even when your hope is gone
move along, move along
just to make it through.

MUSTS

tomorrow, i must have my coffee in the morning,
i must be alert.
i must not be over-confident,
nor too unsure of myself.
pray before the exam,
and again after.

i invested too much to screw up tomorrow, i must not

haha sorry something happened in the previous post about the "grading system", it didnt come out as expected, but i editted it already so its fine now.

so the prelims have started, its horrible. i dont want to talk about it. i really dont understand why they make the prelim papers so bloody hard. i mean, since i did like 20 physics paper 1's, i personally know that you can score higher for the rj, hc, vj and nj papers than for the ac papers. how gay is that huh? and its not even like we do better than them for A levels.

yeah, i really hope i can get CEE un-moderated. i mean like i actually put in effort for these exams, i havent mugged for damn long, like since sec 4. so it would be nice to see some fruits during prelims, even if they arent like uber ripe yet. if you get what i mean. haha

Mugging!


yesterday's mugging/coffee intoxication session was damn hardcore, after chem tuition in the morning we went to holland v starbucks where i drank a large brazillian cherrado or something. then we went for physics for another hour and a half, followed by more coffee at holland v coffee bean. so i drank about one litre of coffee altogether, mmmmmm ownage.

so the prelims are almost here, like the days left to prelims are less than the number of cups of coffee i have a day. everybody is proficient in at least one subject now, but for most of the people i know its like physics (because almost the entire level has physics tuition now). a lot of physics takers i know also screwed their chem revision big time. many conversations with many people tell me our timetable after prelims will consist of about 4hours of chem tutorials a day. haha.

so for the people who were slacking too much dont even know the A level grading system, i will sacrifice some of my important mathematical induction revision time to explain the system to you.

Grade (Mark Range)
A (Atrocious) 70<
B (Bad!) 65-70
C (Cannot make it) 60-65
D (Dazzling) 55-60
E (Excellent) 50-55
AO (Ah! Outstanding!) 45-50
F (Fantastic) 45>

hopefully, all of you will do (F)antastically well for your prelims! haha

my head is saturated, i cant do anymore work, i cant even think straight now. physics is very taxing on the brain, especially dumb prelim papers with weird, complicated questions.

physics is kinda like love right? when u have have too little, you get owned. when u have too much, you still get owned. ahaha. ok la, this entire post is damn stupid, because i cant think at all, because of phyiscs...

when i showed su my gp file that day, he made the astute observation that my gp grades are going down. well, i guess we can attribute that to the fact that i started mugging for other subjects so i have less time to think about like, general stuff (like you write about general stuff in general paper right). come to think of it, i do spend a lot of time thinking, i think thats because of my CI personality. haha. but anyways i got my latest assignment back today and its not so bad, i hope my marks are starting to climb again. but i also noticed the trend la, i usually get lower marks for the assignments in which i rant mindlessly.

i photocopied the ******* JC physics prelim paper from the library that day, i guess its a welcome escape from the hell that the RJ and HC papers we usually do are. like as a student sometimes i think its good to do some of these papers, at least its better for our morale than those other papers. but then again, if we're accustomed to difficult papers the A's will be a breeze. wow look, i examined both sides of the issue, its like the subconscious gp talent in me. ok whatever, haha. time to mug for stats test tmr.

ahhh school is ending too soon! its ending too fast, gosh, theres still so many things i havent done, so much fun i havent had, so much work i havent done. i cant believe its gonna be over so soon.

today mrs chan was quite sad when she was talking to us about the newspaper article, i've havent really seen her that sad before. but ah well, i guess we just have to cheer her up by getting 3A's and above for 50% of the cohort or something.

then im like doing my dumb personal statement for my graduation cert now. i think its such a dumb idea, like how am expected to praise myself? and what a bad time to make us write this, prelims are in like 12 days and we still have to worry about this. i remember even pw stopped for awhile during promos last year.... ah ok no more ranting, im making seem like i have nothing better to do when actually i do, like tons of work, loads of prelim papers, truckloads of essays, bucketfulls of coffee.

speaking of coffee,
IM SO GLAD COFFEE EXISTS,
like i would just collapse in class without it. surviving on 4hours of sleep a night is no joke.

ok, im just so worried about my chem now. so worried

damn tired

i dont know why, the weekends seem really short now. i woke up late on saturday so i ended up accidentaly ponning the physics mock exam with lihao to mug. oldham wing is like really quiet on saturday morning, very good to study, except it might get a bit hot if theres no wind.



later that day i had the worst tuition session ever. i wasnt prepared for physics of fluids at all since i didnt attend any lecture on it and was just damn lost throughout the lesson. then there was ds's party after that, socializing with his 50 poly friends was quite a failure, lol. but it was still quite fun la, we went to his clubhouse and played stupid games from 10 to midnight after his friends left.

people are all drinking stuff in the photos since i took them in the clubhouse where we went to buy drinks cause all there was at ds's party was 100plus which ran out pretty quickly.



sorry xing, your picture couldnt be uploaded for some reason, its corrupted cause you're too handsome.


so i when i slept at 2 last night, i set my alarm for 1030 cause i intended to do quite a lot of work today, but i just slept right through. only woke up at 1, 2 hours behind my revision schedule. sigh, at least i got some good rest so i can mug later tonight.






















































um, i like to eat yong tau foo? haha

law school

the university fair on wednesday was pretty enlightening, mainly because at least 1 member of the acjc alumni studying and working in nus as professors in most of the popular courses came down to share their experiences with us. i discovered a few things that day:

1. its not going to be easy to get into law school
2. neither is it going to be hard if i posses the qualities they are looking for
3. i dont really know if i have the qualities they seem to value
4. if you graduate with third class honours from nus law fac you cant practice law in singapore
5. theres always business school

today when i told en hua that i wanted to go to law school the first thing he told me was that i was going to hell, "all lawyers go to hell" he said. at that moment guanyi was passing by and overheard our conversation, so he said something like "you know you need 3A's to get in right?" as if i couldnt get it. sigh, everyone thinks im not serious about my studies cause im goofing around all the time, but i really am, i just dont want to turn it into a dreadful, boring activity.

i dont think its hard to get 3A's, seeing that i have tuition for every subject now. furthermore, all kinds of random people get 3A's, its not really all that as exclusive and glorious as getting 7A's or something. but still, i realize i have to mug, very very hard.

so today i was walking with my classmates from the NL to the EL because our chem tutor told us that our class was at NL5 when it was actually at EL5. well, i havent been to the NL like this entire year, so i was telling dx, the NL is like some rural village, cut off from society, but then again there lies the allure of living in it. At that moment we saw wayzee using the grass patch next to the NL to go to the EL, so in the context of what i just told dx, it was pretty funny. he was like jungle bashing through from one rural village to the next. and i dont even think dx heard me, because all this while he was like lost in his thoughts or something. ah well, i realize that the entire paragraph doesnt even sound as vaguely funny as i make it out to be, you have to be in that situation to appreciate it.

24 more days

Photos:

im so proud of this artistic shot i took today, cool eh? it was taken from the far end of buona vista mrt station facing biopolis, the mix of clouds and urban landscape is so, breathtaking. haha


random photo from chinese paintings in concourse


aerial view of smiley

ground view of smiley


ok you must forgive me, i mean like i know photo blogging is lame, but its so much easier to do especially since im so busy with exam prep..

but i like school more these days, revising isnt as tough as learning new stuff. actually, i cant believe im into my last semester of formal schooling. gosh, im gonna miss ac so much... but i sure of one thing, im gonna enjoy my school life while it lasts :)

hie its been a long time

um after such a long break, it seems so abrupt to start blogging again like this, without so much as an attempt to even explain my absence. but who cares.

so like im testing my new phone camera on my blog. ok la no, actually i just want something to blog about.

last friday after half day school before whole evening dota!

starbucks

vic and lihao

clemens and my shoe

artistic shot of starbucks wall

writing on the wall


lol. ok, study hard peeps!!

$120 and counting

education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire - william butler yeats.

3 A'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO CZECH!

woo hoo! world cup!!!

for those who dont know, my world cup revolves around this:


oh no i didnt really bet $100 on that oh-so-close england match, i put $50 and my mum put $50. we're like betting partners :) so i won $20 on england and 10mins ago i won another $33.50 from the $50 i put on Czech Republic!!great match, it really was. i think i'm a new fan of the czechs, they simple rock.

so like i discovered i only bet on alternate days, maybe cause on alternate days the matches are safer... im not even betting on brazil tmr cause i have a gut feeling of a draw. but thats just me, most people (i.e qing) are blowing their entire life savings on brazil tmr, all the best to them :)

so far i've made $50 in 3days, so doubling that i estimate about $100 per week. hopefully i can make $500 by the end of the world cup!! next match, spain versus ukraine!

omg omg omg its the 2nd day of the 2nd week of the holidays and its 6/6/6 only 2 weeks and 5 days left to mug AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goal today: Finish food chem and quantum tys. and also score against qing's arsenal/england in fifa.

first week

many photos














sean ng (wtf)















cool singers at chinese singer cafe or whatever its called















:)















:)














testimonial photo

:)

so i was feeling quite sick and was gonna throw up and all that stuff because of something i drank or something so quincy gave me a lift home even though he would have to face a 2hour drive home from my house. thanks quincy!!

night driving. hoo!

i originally intended to post like, pics of acs idol up here too but i dont know why i cant upload them after i already put all these pics up. maybe theres a quota or something, or its just god's will that i finish the post here and do my quantum physics prelim questions. so look out for acs idol pics next!

CRAP. the formatting for the last picture is screwed. i dont know what i did. but the format always screws up once i put pics in. anyone who knows how to solve this problem? its pissing me off.. everytime i try and post pictures its like that

life
so many things have happened.. i really wanted to blog about them but too many things have happened.. they seem to have happened so long ago (sorry for using "happen" so much la i cant blog when im playing dota). but im still quite motivated to blog. its like i havent blogged for so long, but i dont really have time, seeing that i've been out everyday since the start of holidays. gosh i really should get down to work, so far all i've done is 5hours of physics on monday. i think ill start some work tonight...

smo
smo today was ok lor... like everyone only did like 15 questions and i answered 20, although im quite sure most of them are wrong since its like, super hard. i think if i get 5 correct im happy already. in fact, i think if u get 5 correct u'll get bronze medal, hahaha.

omg sean ng is back from the states
so like if you've all been wondering why the weather is so bad lately and everything seems so dark and lethargic, dont worry, its just the usual signs of sean ng's return.. but then again im always happy to see my good old sec4 friends, i think we're the only sec4 class who still regularly keeps in touch lor! massive 4a3 reunion this holidays! all must come!

so left my cam with sean ng when i went out with him that day and forgot to take it back even though i met him yesterday.. sian, must remember to take it back from him tomorrow before i go for the class outing!!

um, maybe ill blog more tmr? lol. enjoy your hols and study hard friends!

ahhhh im like not blogging at all anymore! too busy now, i cant wait for this term to end. but then again, i can (i think i just want bowling nationals to be over
, but its not like i hate bowling. i still love the sport, just that it feels really awkward to go to training but not train. when i recover ill train after A levels and at least make an impact in inter-club league since i can no longer do it in A div's)...... time flies too fast, i cant imagine that i only have 6 months left in ac. i wanna stay longer :(

um, i think ill blog on friday, about the class outing. yah

theres some dumb b grade horror flick on channel 5 now. but i think its quite funny, like this guy falls into a hole in the ground and when he wakes up he's surrounded my corpses and the show gets even more stupid from there. luckily, i've stopped watching it. (but this would probably be a fun movie to watch a movie marathon cause its one of those dumb movie marathon movies)

so i did quite ok for my math test. but im sad, because i only did quite ok. nevermind, no one's gonna understand.

i really want my scholastic merit award, and im really busy this term, but i guess i've learnt how to handle it. i shouldnt spend my jc life waiting for shit to be over because its shit and i want to go over with it, jc life's too short for that. i want to enjoy every moment of it, so that when i look back ill know that i made the best of it and have nothing to regret.

then, im really looking forward to monday. sa1 and se1 with gary chan outing. hahahahahahahaha.

IPhO!!

i went for the international physics olympiad astro night briefing with mr ho just now. firstly, i was very suprised by how little publicity had been put into the fact that we are hosting an international olympiad which will probably never come to singapore again in at least 50 years. so like for 10 days in july, the average iq of singapore will increase by 100 or something.

i like to see passionate people go about passionately doing whatever they have a passion for. not like the kind of "i need to work hard cause if not ill fail" passion, but the "omg i like doing physics i get turned on by it and stuff". i hope i find my passion soon. lol

so anyways, people who want to go for IPhO astronomy night come and find me ill try and ask if u can be put in last minute. its gonna be super fun cause its like 3pm on friday till 1am the next morning and most people will stay till 6am cause its impossible to go home at 1am and they are gonna turn off all the lights at the ntu campus and army camp around it throughout the night so no one who doesnt wanna get raped by a pack of wild dogs is gonna try walking the 1km journey out. the only downside of this is that its like on 14th july or something, so its like 3 weeks from prelims. but mr ho said "1 less day of mugging is not gonna make a difference".

ok, off to finish tutorial 32.

i really dont mean to be so cynical today

bye bye ds. cya on 10 april, have a good mission trip in phillipines. god will use you to bring a blessing to the people in ulu-land. i will pray for you and your mission trip buddies that god will keep you safe and have a good trip. may god change your lives and the lives you touch through this journey. maybe i should go on a mission trip in december too, it might be refreshing from singapore. like i might actually meet sincere people in these rural villages, unlikes those in singapore.

i think chicken rice war is a nice show. i like these kind of shows where the loser gets the babe. but we all know that never happens in real life. social rejects and the dregs of society, no one cares about them or their existence. pierre png acted really well in that show, like he was speaking in shakespere language for 3/4 of the show too, that is really hard. zhihuan is right sometimes, its so sad, that nice guys finish last.

things to do in coming week:
1. read the tempest before i watch it
2. be nice to zhihuan
3. try and start studying chemistry

i think i can do it

yay. things are getting better, i have gained some momentum in my mugging and can now solve most math TYS standard questions.

but then i can only do j2 work since my j1 works SUCKS and im so busy with j2 work that i cant begin my j1 revision and i would probably only be able to start j1 revision in june when its too late and then i wont be well prepared for prelims but why am i worrying about this terms have just ended shouldnt i give myself a break no i cant because so many of my classmates are mugging already i feel compelled to mug oh crap that means i dont have a break till 17nov but who cares i need to get my grades or get owned singapore is like that you make it or they break you wait wait why are there no periods in this paragraph i dont know either maybe im trying to turn all my expression errors in gp into just one big big one so that i wont get penalized so much haha thats not funny at all.

oh no im sick again. this is the 2nd time in a month i've fallen ill. maybe my immune system is really that weak.. falling sick sucks, it feels so horrible.

so even though im not in school my friends have been updating me on my term exam results. i guess i did better than expected for math and gp. but im quite disappointed with my physics score. ohwell, at least i dont have a single F. i must still work harder in term 2 and 3 :)

ok, back to sleep. hopefully ill be well enough to go to school tomorrow

on my way home today i saw an accident. it was damn horrible. you couldnt even tell what vehicles were involved in it till u looked closely. it was just a big mess of metal and glass. hope the drivers were ok, but the ambulance was still at the scene when my bus went pass, so the driver's injuries cant have been that bad. or maybe the ambulance driver just wasnt happy that he didnt get a pay raise or something... ok nevermind not funny to joke about these issues

in other matters:
zhihuan is a fucking hypocrite. please stop telling people how badly you're gonna fail and how your single digit mark will be the the cube root of theirs when you get fucking distinctions man. zhihuan has inspired me to mug, i shall attend more chem lectures from now on and beat him. but ponning chem lectures to eat prata with banana and honey is so much more fun lor. like seriously, i think eating prata is more constructive than attending chem. ohwells, i better learn to love the subject or ill never do well in it.

holiday

Bowling camp (mon-wed)
well, bowling camp was actually great! i thought it would be really stoned for me cause i didnt know many bowlers while most of them knew each other already, but it wasnt that bad at all. i think we can attribute this to the fact that ac bowlers are generally nice and easy to get along with. hahah. and god also blessed me because he put me in the same room of keith, gaius and joel, cause like i already know keith and gaius.. and joel is so friendly anyways.

so all-in-all it was kinda like orientation! there were alot of team bonding games and only 2 hours of training. but i guess the camp was meant more for team bonding than skill training... ill always remember sin chew hor fun and playing asshole tai ti and drinking stupid concoctions and making augustin run into the golf course lake at 1am :))

when augustine ran to the pond kenneth followed him to video it or something but when augustine came back kenneth was missing then we were all like "omgwtf he went missing" for a moment. but later on we realized he just went to some other people's room for awhile.

on the last day and my only complete day in camp (cause i had to go back to school for SRS on tuesday), we had this amazing race. got grouped with augustin, joyce and meaghan. sigh, i told augustin that we should try out best to win it lor, but we spent too much time in occ poolside, so we were the last team...until we reached the war memorial. every group got stuck there because of some stupid clue which no one could solve. then after that like 12 of us got into meaghan's car to go to botanical gardens, it was so squeezy joel actually had to stand in the car, lol. so in the end we were tied last with like 3 other groups so it didnt matter.

actually, i felt that amazing race was more team breaking than bonding, but nevermind, i shall not speak of it. we were all damn screwed and tired out after that. but kenny, debby, clarence and marc really did a good job with the games in school. like there was this game where we have to get the whole team through a hula hoop which was raised like 1m up, juliana fell through the hoop her group had to carry her through and gaius just jumped right through it lol.

Doc's appointment (thurs)
the bone scan finally showed what was causing the pain. in medical terms i have greater trochanter bursitis of the left femoral shaft and the distal epiphysis of the left femur. in layman terms, im F*King screwed. my bowling career is shattered. this injury prevented me from training from november to march and now i have to lay off bowling till june. this means i wont be able to bowl A divs (actually i dont think i would have been more than a reserve even if i didnt get this diagnosis because not training from november to march screwed my bowling).

sigh, i dont know why and how i got this injury, but i know its messing up my life. hope i heal soon...

Mugging (fri-sun)
mugging was really bad. i couldnt concentrate. i was telling qing how dumb this was, at the start of the year i told myself ill mug damn hard for terms and get my AAA and then everything will be smooth sailing. then halfway through the term i realized i wasnt even doing work so i changed my target to ABC. now ill be happy if i can manage a CCC.

Physics (today)
oh it wasnt that bad after all. but i really dont know, i think i lost like 12 marks so far but i really wont know how i did till i get my results back. and my chem= confirm fail, i shouldnt have ponned all those lectures after all... im still debating whether i should just sacrifice chem and mug for math so i can get like.. C for it. gosh my life is sad, i shouldnt even be aiming for C's.

ok bye people. im going to hell tomorrow. nah just kidding im going for bowling camp but i can tell its gonna be damn stoned cause i dont know that many bowlers. but ill make the best of it, cause i dont think im going to be in bowling for very long :(

i hope wednesday comes soon.

i want to start this post with a prayer. DEAR GOD, I HOPE YOU LET MARCUS AND JARED BACK INTO ACJC, THEY HAVE NO CCA'S TO APPEAL IN WITH AND ARE JUST HOLDING ON TO THE FAITH THAT YOU HAVE TAUGHT US TO HAVE IN YOU. I AM SURE THEY WILL WORK HARD AND BRING GLORY TO YOUR NAME WHEN THEY COME BACK. AMEN



remember long ago i thought that friendster horoscopes were really accurate? now that i've like, started using friendster again...

Friendster Horoscope for March 6, 2006
The Bottom Line
You will stop being overwhelmed as soon as you trim back your jam-packed schedule.
In Detail
The urge to hibernate has hit all of us, but the way you're feeling now, you're not only in the mood to get away from the maddening crowd, you're also in desperate need of some quality time alone. In addition, it's just about time for you to start dishing out a few surprises in return -- the way others have been tossing them your way, that is. A day with the phone turned off just might do it.



gosh, it really is horribly accurate...

ACS BARKER FTW!!

barker's playing ri on the acjc field now. leading 15-7 according to chang's sms match update to me.

i hope we win, barker FTW!

i can see clearly now

1.yesterday when i reached home after physics prac i had a temperature of 39.4, so i was like omg i am so screwed. but luckily after 6 hours of sleep and 2 doses of panadol my temperature fell to 38.5. i've never had a 39.4 fever before. its so horrible, you cant even think straight, its like everytime i try and form a vaguely complete thought in my head it starts hurting real bad. i dont want to be sick again, stupid jill and andre, thanks for giving me your germs, i think i got a hybrid of both your germs lor....

2. Xavier's "im trying out being positive" attitude is so cool, i hope he stays like that forever.

3. Bone scan tomorrow, lihao told me they stick a needle in your hand and run radioactive fluid through it till it flows through your entire body so they can take the scan... and that you can feel the liquid flow through your body.PAIN.

4. Last founder's day celebrated as a student was great! after spending 113th to 118th founders day on parade i can finally enjoy it as a spectator. i kinda miss those good old parade days, but i bet ill hate em next year when i get into NS. it was good to see old faces like josh fong, jing yan, leng kian. so many scouts got distinctions

5. im almost sure i wanna retake chinese, just for the AO pass.

6. A level results: j3's did really well(gogo leonard chng!). i guess it was a good experience today, going to the hall to see the happy and sad faces, the tears in the eyes, the smiles on the faces. somehow i saw more tears, but it kinda made be think about whether i would be crying next year, and i think i would, if i carry on at this pace.

7. engineering quiz on saturday at NTU! im quite suprised that i made it into the 2nd round, but since i have i better make try my best and do well for it :)

opportunity cost

yes, opportunity cost. i still remember what that means from my 1st 3 months econs education. so we can say that the opportunity cost of the worldview (or globalview, i forgot what its called) conference is my term exam grades. it would have been a really good experience had i gone for it. but oh well...

so after talking to lots of people on what i should do i concluded that i wasnt good enough to handle the revision and the commitment of the event at the same time. i gave up the opportunity of a lifetime, but if you know me well enough, theres nothing new about that. what is another opportunity given up when i have already messed up so much?

i better study for terms, or i will hate myself, i will turn into a zhihuan. i gave up the conference for terms, i must do well.

ok enough depressive ranting, i shall move on to how wonderful yesterday was. like after school i watched acs barker come back from 0-13 to beat some neighbourhood school quite badly. and after the game i went to the canteen where some classmates were talking about (lol, nevermind). shag shoot & marry sucks when you have 3 horrible people to choose from, like you'd wanna shoot all 3, but i guess if you were given people whom you distinctly know whether to shag shoot or marry then it wont be so fun anymore cause people can just guess who you'd choose.

and arts night was a blast! why doesnt the science council organise fun stuff like this? like all they do is peer tutoring, its boring and gay. oh but i shouldnt be saying that because i probably need the tutoring just to pass. nevermind, now that lihao and i are in science council we will revolutionize it and make it cool :) we will catalyze the irreversible 1-step self propogating reaction that will rock the science fac!!

like,








hahahahahahahahahahahah. study hard friends :)

******

im sick of everything.

wtf is this
why am i here
what am i doing
where am i going
who is this
who am i
im confused
im sick
im sick
im sick.

i just woke up after a 12 hour long nap and im still tired. bloody jc life is really too intensive, but who cares about that, its still fun :))

so when i turned on the TV just now there was this documentary on the capture of saddam hussein, it was a re-enactment of a conversation between him and an iraqi interpreter on the night just after his capture, while they were walking from his underground bunker back to the jeeps, during which saddam kept looking at the sky.
the iraqi interpreter ran away to the US years ago when his family got murdered or something horrible by saddam.

Iraqi interpreter : Look at the sky, the beautiful stars, you'll never see them again. We're going to lock you up in a prison in cuba and you'll be there till you die.
Saddam : I am not looking at the stars, I am looking for Allah.
Iraqi interpreter: You dont know Allah, you killed all those people
Saddam : I am saddam hussein, I am a hero, of course I know Allah.
Me (on my sofa watching this) : wtf??!!

But i guess alot of people are like that too. They think they know their god when actually they dont. Think about it.

18th on the 18th

XVIII was so fun. Met so many friends, srjc friends, barker friends, and alumni today. I shall remember today for the rest of my life. Dunking is like the uber revenue generator, its the least effort-most rewards option for all carnival games, cause it capitalizes on the crowds sadism and we have no lack of that since this is AC, lol.

went for 3 out of the 4 haunted houses. the first one we went to was the only one worth going. Like at least there was a decent scary atmosphere in the LT6 one, the rest were just.... comedies. i think the scone cafe was even more scary than all the haunted houses put together, like we went in at 9am and saw the decor, we suddenly felt like doing nothing else but mug. so creepy lor, like they can make visitors to their cafe get the sudden urge to finish their TYS in the cafe.

Although this is my 4th carnival, it was the first one which i actually made a purphase from the supermarket. i bought 3 nice AC ring files for $10 from the souvenior shop. Now i have proper files for Physics, Chem and Math!

theres like a load more stuff to write about, but i am just too tired. maybe tomorrow, haha.

honest intent

i feel like i've travelled through singapore today, went to so many places to sell $80 worth of tickets. but its all worth it, i will do it for my school.

11 years of ac education has finally worked on me, i am raising money with all my effort for the school. remember the ac tradition, we inherit this great heritage, legacy, facilities, only to make it richer and more full for future generations to enjoy, like what the previous generations have done for us.

but i was a bit shocked when i saw the desecration, the vadalism, the horrid defilement of the barker campus we so loved. what have the juniors done? dont they realise that they are destroying what we worked so hard for? i guess they are still young and too dumb too realise how dumb they are.

but going back to hougang bowl today was fun. met my 1st 3 months bowling friends like ben and yiling, and also keith from ac barker. he was sent to srjc like me, but like me also, he will return to ac soon :)

3 days left, just keep selling

red roses

valentines day



lol

white or blue?

so i told myself that i must not hate chem, but mug harder for it instead. cannot get 3/20 again, its too demoralizing.

finished like 1 tutorial and 3 chapters of organic chem revision this weekend, so im feeling quite accomplished. i mean like most of my classmates have been playing games online the whole weekend and i actually mugged! great.

today was really funny too. i went to taka with zh(zhi huan) to buy stuff and when we were horsing around(ok seriously we were buying acrylic paint for zhihuan) in art friend we met the other zh(zheng hao), so coincidential. then later on i met paul teng at the art shop opposite art friend too, today is like.. "oh what a small world it is" day.

i am so looking forward to tomorrow, when we journey to SP to sell our fun o rama coupons for 2 hours and spend the other 6 playing lan yay!

the outlook for next week is a good one, save tuesdays.

lalalala la la

i suddenly hate chemistry. i mean like why should anyone even like halogen derivatives or weird stuff like that?

i dont even regret skipping 2/3 of the lectures for the latest topic. stupid stupid chemistry, i dont even know why i hate it so much now. but i used to hate physics, and now i like it so much more than chem. its not so memory intensive, physics is a concept thing, while chem is just gay.

then theres all these people saying that i have gone crazy... cause i am joining everything. but please understand, at the end of last year i looked back at my jc1 life, and realised that all i had were regrets, things i wished i could do better, and nothing to be proud of. so i told myself, you dumb shit, wake up ur idea and change your life while you still have 1 more year to do so. get it now? so please stop questioning my sanity for joining the NTU current affairs quiz, engineering quiz, science and mathematics council, various scholarship talks and the motivation to mug harder than ever in class.

oh crap it really does look like a lot of sutff that i've joined now that i look back at it. hah, but i suppose thats a good thing.



let me end with a convo i just had with xing on msn

shaun - There's a mugger in all of us. FIND THE MUGGER IN YOU TODAY! says:

hahahahahahahahaha.

play ends here

ahhh my blog is in neglect! i shall make an effort to update more now that school is starting again, and as i have pointed out to qing there are no more breaks/holidays to look forward to until the much dreaded terms. but just as well, there will be less distractions :))

the deadline i have set for myself has come
the day which FeaR[USMC] and LordOfTheDogs cease to exist
it'll be hard to adjust, how can someone who plays dota daily suddenly only play on the weekend? i dont know either, but im about to find out. lol

but let us shut down our comps, take out our (very clean) books, put on our specs, sharpen our pencils and meet our targets for terms, it'll be a... confidence boost yes, just what we all need when we have been scraping thru every subject last year.

and so, let this blind, endless pursuit for academic excellence begin. today
buahahahahaha

bright lights

when you have fun while u mug its ok.
then you would enjoy it,
then you would mug more,
cause its fun.

im like so on this year.
so far i have signed up like:
1. Current affairs quiz
2. American math competition

i want to go for something else too.. you know.. like plan for my university education and stuff, i shall sign up for it tmr. hahaha

then there was also the junior class suprise, the sad sad misunderstanding which so many classmates have not come to accept yet.

current affairs quiz

why did i do it?
like i just suddenly felt like, i mean its good for my record also right?
i think im mad,
hope its not too hard tmr.
nothing to lose anyways
hahahahahaha

so its like, 2nd week of school.
and i already have 25 physics structured questions and enough GP to make me cry.
like of course i will be able to finish my work in 4 hours but why should i be spending 4 hours doing work? its so early in the year and its like that already.
this is gay and stupid, how can A levels be like that? its horrible

so theres this convo that i had with chng last night about A levels, and he told me that he started mugging before june, and still got CCE for prelims. and he's supposed to be quite smart and all.. like how scary is that? if i started mugging in june for o levels i would be in scone or something.

argh, everything is so depressing, maybe its the weather, or homework, or someting like both. then we also have this home class which is cold enough for u to breed polar bears in. hopefully things will get better soon.

:(

but still, there are good things in life. haha.

JC TWO

woahh today is the last first day of school i will have in my entire life. just recently i've started to look back at my last 11 years in retrospect.. and realised that those years passed in a flash, when actually it was a really long time. like if a kid was born when i entered ac, he would be taking his PSLE now, thats like waaaaayyyyy long.

so anyways, it was nice hearing mrs chan's start of term speech and all, she's like so motherly, more like a mother to the school or something. and it was also nice seeing all the seoners and JCone's whom i knew and random people all over the school whom i knew and etc etc etc. and the only real lesson today was physics lecture.. like during physics prac. mr chan just let us have triple free period and even mr. sim eng chee gave us half the chinese period off. but i suppose a lazy start to a hectic year is always good, gives us time to adjust to the stress and everything.

and then there is orientation, looking at them makes me want to wish i was back there, just another colour in the patchwork of uniforms, so carefree and relaxed, without a bloody national exam at the end of the year to worry about. i see very few acs(i) boys, even less barker ones and lots of scgs and all that crap. ITS JUST SO SAD. gone were the days where half the acjc students were from affiliated institutions, ac is now like a dumping ground for all the acs(i) ppl who dont do IB. like barker, i remember barker used to be a dumping ground for those unfit for acs(i). But thngs are different now arent they? if you dont put barker as ur 1st choice you will never pass through its gates and sit under that famous clocktower, contemplating your future with your 19th gf or just smoking or something... lol

so i guess i have said most of the important stuff, now i want to RANT. bloody hell, this morning my car stay in the bloody queue for dont know how many traffic light changes still never move because all those f*cking j1 parents keep cutting into the queue because they think their children damn big because they got 15pts for prelims and they sure do better for O levels then they can go to hwa chong and cut the traffic queues there. nabei have some manners please man.. i cant believe you dont even have road courtesy you bloody assholes, must be from the non-ac backgrounds your children come from because they are too dumb to go to the schools they are affiliated to like KNNBJC or something. KNN.

but then again the jc1's seem like a nice bunch.. maybe its just their parents or something, lol.

The last post of 05

omg the year really went by so fast. i still remember how i felt ast NYE... i was so sad that i didnt make it to ac, not sure if i should attend srjc, not sure if i did OK for o levels, not sure about everything would be. that feeling really sucks... knowing that my fate was in someone else's hand, because i was too damn dumb to control it while it was still in mine.

but this year its different. my fate is still in my hands, i have like 200+ days to study for A levels and who cares if i didnt do any holiday homework. Because if you did it you're gay and you'll burn out in march because you havent even recovered from o levels when you started promo revision and you're not even recovered from promo revision when u started mugigng for A levels.

so so so STZJ, dont repeat your PAE nightmare, wake up ur idea and start early, because you never have.

i have this radical idea which i shared with qing, and i've been doing some research into it too.. in random haphazard words its something like.. dota... wc3... cs... ac... gosubay... rev0.. chang.. mother fucker... chess club... sux... no... independent.. better bloody allow...

and i think we should end the post with some nice pictures i took from the first part of our movie marathon at su's house because i forgot to take pics when we moved to xing's house 1 hour later after we discovered that su's dvd player was too used to playing porn so it couldnt play normal movies properly.




























so like as you can see this is a pic of su and qing discussing why the hell qing surfs gay porn on his phone's gprs.





























as we can see this is a very nice sculpture of a jap lady. yeah.
















wah look at the king, hurry up and kowtow. lol ok jkjk

















awwwwwwwwwwww <3. ok i dont think su knows i took a pic of this im sorry im such a bastard.




ok, say bye to jc1, and smile at the A levels. smileeeeeee :)

Pride and Potters

OMG *wails* dumbledore died OMG OMG OMG why does rowling keep killing all of harry's father figures? sigh, i bet mr weasley will die next book or something. The last 100 pages of half blood prince were damn sad... really, i so felt like crying.

And then there was pride and prejudice which we watched till late last night and i missed the bloody last train home so i had to call my parents to fetch me from outram mrt. (ok lets digress abit outram.. lol remember we called them out(of)ram? but looks like su is the one who is out of ram these days). So anyways pride and prejudice is a damn good show, everyone should watch it, keira knightley is absolutely charming and the guy in the show is damn yan dao la. Not that im gay or anything but he really is damn handsome lol. And that piano song that they kept playing in the show is so cool, like that song can be happy, sad, whatever feeling u want it to be. Its damn hard for a song to be like that lor, only damn gosu people can make it like that.

And one more cool thing i am on a win streak of 10!!! shit so cool and i was top 14 for like 20mins yesterday in the standard 1v1 tourney.
















heeheeheee soon i will have my banshee icon and retire for good!

29 more wins to my beloved banshee <3<3<3

Aiyoh this has been a damn damn damn bad weekend. My record over the weekend was 3-6 and today its 2-4 so far. I think im underestimating alot of my opponents now, cause im so "high leveled". What a newb i am, sigh. But at least i should get my banshee in about 10 days then i can quit FT for good.

So anyways since i have no life now and i had only watched the last half of the show before i watched the encore screening of mtv movie awards 2005 yesterday on mtv at 2pm i think. And oh my i gotta say it really was a damn great show!!! The spoofs were damn funny and all the antics by the celebrities were even more funny. Like Eminem was using the "ass like that" to harass lindsay lohan before he started his "ass like that" performance on stage damn funny teeheeheehee.

and speaking of lindsay..























omg!
*faints*
need i say more?



napoleon dynamite AKA Jon Hedar also walked away with 3 awards omg so pro. He's so handsome even when he's not in that coolio nerd/geek/warcraft player outfit.

























Oh and rachel mcadams and ryan gosling really deserved that best kiss award but i shall not post pictures of that here, a picture will not capture the full coonless of it. Watch the show if you wanna see what im talking about. Heeheeheeheee

Ok la. Sorry im blogging about mtv movie awards but im really damn bored and theres nothing much to talk about since all i do is spam warcraft all day long anyways. I better go out more in the next week... a slow and steady 3 wins a day for the next week would get me my banshee already.

i have a feeling this will be a very short post

YESS only 50 more wins to my banshee icon i can get it in 2 weeks if i work hard enough. Then after i get it i can feel really accomplished and quit ft for good.

So anyways we watched saw2 the day it came out. It was FREAKING good omg, even better than the first one. But i think we should look beyond the gore and into the true meaning of the show, to teach us to appreciate our lives and not waste it.

DS.. DS asked me to go to his church today, but we played dota and FT until 330am, so it was pretty hard for me to wake up at 7, sorry ds, ill go next week haha. And i should really go to church, go in reverence, go in sincerity. I really need to talk to god about some serious stuff, issues, problems, whatever.

And so it seems the trend is to create stupid quizzes for your stupid friends to do so that you can measure if they were really stupid by becoming a friend of yours. Therefore i made one, try it by clicking on the following link and use your real names please. I dont want to see crap names like spiderman or dj.mice on the scoreboard. lol, i made 5 questions easy and the other 5 hard so even if you hate me you should get like 5 correct.
Take my Quiz on QuizYourFriends.com!

Haha my centennial

Wow my 100th post, i didnt know i blogged so much. 100 is a nice number, like one hundred posts away i was worrying about o levels, and a hundred posts after this ill be worrying about A levels.

Anyways lets backtrack to my Tuesday, October 25, 2005 post, where i said i would compile a list of things to accomplish this holidays. Seeing that i havent done anything in the past month, i probably should start doing something constructive in my life other than trying to increase my eye degree to a 4 digit number. SO there is this great need for me to have the following list to keep me on task and prevent me from slipping into the depths of retarded dota addiction.


Things to do before i die this holiday
1) Get your banshee icon (150 undead wins, and you're probably thinking "wtf this guy's list starts with warcraft he is gg-ed")
2) 2 Dota's a day max by december 31st
3) Improve your bloody bowling (I've only bowled thrice since promos)
4) Brush up on maths
5) GO to the blardy gym twice a week
6) Change this ugly blog skin
7) Finish reading half-blood prince
8) Clear up my room, my o level tys is still on my table
9) Start buying christmas presents for my homies
10) Do the last 9 things before i die this holiday YESSSSS

Lets appreciate this 100th post. My 100th post is unorganised with no flow like the last 99. But i dont care, i bet you wont be able to come up with a post half as good as this if you're doing it while alt tabbing from your dota like i am. Heehee, oh let me do shoutouts in my 100th post.


4a3 - Looi is back! Class outing class outing!

Barker people - Ok, im sorry i got sakaed so quickly it must have been my sore throat that screwed my appetite, because su didnt get me that ice tea at lido, that ass

Zhihuan - Hello, you're probably too busy surfing around for new ways to die to read this. But it was cool seeing you at sitex.

Myself - You bloody suck at shoutouts, dont do it again.

Beyond The Game

WCG rocks rocks rocks rocks RoX my SOX!! SO many great matches, SO many pros, SO many suprises. The defeat of grubby by SKY and shortround resulted in grubby taking his (??first??) non-first placing in a big tournament this year. And the emergence of chinese gosus, like omg the upset of u5.pato by XIAOT and the domination of SKY with his l337 tower rush that owned the likes of grubby and shortround. SO COOL! Finally a chinese champ for a game dominated by the west and korea.

So anyways, i guess i should talk more about GOSUBAY. Or what most of my fellow countrymen deem as the disgrace of singapore. REALLY, i don't feel that our friend GOSUBAY has disgraced singapore, i think there were many reasons for his archer massing. I presume he wanted to mass a bigger force to take down the korean's expansion, and also after he failed to stop the expansion, he woulda wanted more units to defend so he would want to get more archers right? They are cheap and get produced pretty quickly too. And if i remember correctly he did put up 2 Ancients of Lore but the korean's mortar's raped them.

I do not think one of Singapore's best players would mass archers for no reason. Neither do i think he deserves the undue remarks that those ah bengs about him. Like i was looking at the comments at the wcg website and i saw stuff from singaporeans like "stupid gosubay noob disgraced singapore". Like hello wtf??, that page is supposed to be for you to cheer on your national team, not flame them? idiot. He's a better player than we all are and im sure none of the ah bengs who said those things would be able to play better against the korean dude.

So heres a pic of us and Gosubay ( in red)















I bet he probably thinks we're taking the picture to mock him. But really, i was not. He derserves repect, for having to courage to play, lose, and face the bunch of fuckups who were there to mock him for the job no one else could have done better. Thats more courage than all the leavers on my banlist have put together. And i give him my respeck for that.


Heres another pic with shortround aka dennis chan representing the USA.














Haha dennis(the other one) are you reading this? I know you read this blog once in awhile. Anyways we should give credit to dennis for his great sportsmanship after losing the grand finals to sky. He's really damn polite and nice, i feel bad that i was rooting for china to win now.

Ahah theres probably much more to write about wcg but ill end here for now. hahahhhhh

WCGWCGWCG

teeheehee the world cyber game's are here. Stupid singapore, wcg is a bloody international event but the coverage is still so low. Like if i wasnt in the gaming scene i wouldnt know that singapore was hosting the WCG finals this year. Anyways ill be going down to suntec tomorrow with weisheng, chang and some other war3 addicts to breathe the same air as Grubby, and in doing so probably making our apm increase by about 50. I feel so sorry for the poor korean guy playing him at 2pm tomorrow... from pre match polling at the world cyber games website almost the whole world voted for grubby to win, hahah.

Heres some stupid info about this years WCG that i read up while surfing the WCG websites.
1. The games village is actually Costa Sands resort
2. The players, staff and referees of WCG actually took up 360 rooms in costa sands
3. CNN is providing coverage of wcg but mediacorp is the "host broadcaster".
4. Italy is the host nation for the next WCG
5. The world cyber games actually have a theme song called "beyond the game". wtf
6. WCG attracted 1million participants and audience in San Francisco last year

But the funniest part is this excerpt i took from the wcg website. "Said Mr Hank Jeong, CEO of ICM: We are very excited that MediaCorp TV, one of the major media outlets in Singapore, is the official host broadcaster of WCG 2005 Grand Final"

....like hello??!? mediacorp is one of the major media outlets in singapore? Theres only one and its not major, we watch so much more cable channels than crappy local shows.

anyways, i havent slept for the past 60+ hours. So im like tired X3. Zhihuan was telling me that if you dont sleep for 72hours you start to go mental. Like hallucinate and stuff, but i guess i shouldnt try that, in case i see su behind me at 3am or something, then my mother will be wondering why i am slashing the air behind me with a knife.

Speaking of su, su and i found out that no one types english in Kalimdor, Battle Net's Asia server. The people there communicate in a series of question and exclamation marks. Seriously. The in-game chat of one of our games there was like that:

Player 1: !!?! !!!?!!!
Player 2: ?!?
Player 1: !?!!!
(Su's player name i forgot) : Lol these fags cant talk
(Su's player name i forgot) has left the game.

And thats how we got booted too. Like can you only insult them after the game starts? Then they do anything. But really, i find it damn funny that Kalimdor people converse this way.

OP over!!!!

its over, good job guys.
but ill do it all over again,
and we'll still get a band1,
because AC199 rocks.

we should get our band1 if everything else goes well teehee.
despite all the card games and slacking inbetween,
our effort should pay off.

but im sad, my 15 win streak ended... BNet finally woke up their idea and gave me a level27 opponent, but i still did give him a good fight. sigh, bouts of depression suck, must the exessive warcrafting. i think i need more coffee bean sessions people...

why hello there

Official is so fun, i just reached my new record win streak of 6 so happy. But currently only ws, chang and me play official, the rest are just dota fags. Like you must revive that love for officials man. Dont you guys remember the adrenaline rush of 1v1, the challenge of head to head battle. Its so thrilling.

Anyways, my new favourite match up is ORC. Harass with your ghouls so they'll think ur getting ghouls then get 6 fiends and make em think u switched to fiends when actually you have dual temple of the damned pumping maste necro's at the back of your base, then 2 wagons full of corpses and bring his base down. Its like so cool, before he can say "Oh my f*ct necrowagon" his base is pounded and his tauren raped by 50 skeletons swarming his base. Any air gets pwnt by 6 fiends. So fun.

And i guess official is better than dota. Its more mentally stimulating, like we have to think more, predict what the enemy is doing, where he is creeping etc etc. So my goal is to reach level 10 by tmr, only about 4 more wins since im almost level 9 already gogogo!

Ahahhah and the stupid subaru challenge is back at taka. Qing remember our favourite passtimes in sec 3 and 4 was to go laugh at those fools drying up in the sun while we sip our ice cold coke in the shade? Damn funny, we should go one of these days it just started and it only lasts about 50 hours.

FEVER

Arrrrghhhhh i woke up today with at 38 degrees celcius fever, so horrible. So miserable, so AGONISING. But anyways i feel better now after taking 2 panadol's every 4 hours since 10am. I think its the man sitting next to me on the bus yesterday because he looked damn sick and pale. Stupid idiot, so sick still wanna take bus, spread his illness to innocent people like me and ruin my holidays.

So its just very very horrible to be running a temperature and too weak to do anything else because i can't eat because i dont have an appetite. At least some time around 3pm my temperature finally subsided to like 37.5 so i could turn on my comp to play warcraft. LOL.

And my cut down on dota program is actually working!! I might actually be able to cut down to 5 hours of dota a day by the end of this month. YESSSS

holi holi holiDAYS

so fun. its the year end 2 month period of 12 hours of daily sleep and alot of fun inbetween. and im getting my solo groove back, my apm went from 80-90 in 2 days of watching Memoria.werra replays. But i wonder why memoria.werra has such a shitty rec when his solo is quite gosu, but his rt on us west is like 52-50 wtf??!!.

ok a non battle.net user will not understand what i have just said and am about to say because he has a life and has spent the last 2 years of his life doing constructive things during the holidays like mugging and flying kites instead of sitting infront of my (godspeed dual 2.6c processor 512ram 800fsb hyper threading supported uber graphics computer) playing games. but the warcraft scene has changed alot already, i still remember those mass fiend + stats to pwn all and win days. Now u mass fiend and get pwnt by gay far seer/TC chainwave crap. There is also a new addition to the things we see daily now (click to enlarge):


















(DRUM ROLL PLEASE).... the winner of the laggy AT partner of the year award landon su, luckily the ladder just reset and in those days mass fiends still pwnt but like omg dont you miss those days where i was the lagger and not you? oh wait, those were ROC days where ghoul rush with dreadlord pwnt. LOL

its chinese tmr, but no one cares. because its chinese. Actually i'd rather fail this and retake next june so i have more itme to study for it. I dont know why but suddenly this year my interest on chinese history, culture and language has been revived abit. As in, its interesting when ur not mugging for it but doing it for fun that kinda thing.

And we're going to madam's house tmr for class party! yay, the first class event many many many MANY of the girls in se1 will attend. But thats not the point, we're used to it. The point is we're gonna have fun and more fun after that when 5 unfortunate people will get pwnt by a very pumped (whatever hero i random). heeheehee. And i wonder why so many of my classmates enjoy LAN outings, its just me pwning and them getting pwnt. Like, it bores me too man.

ipassedipassedipassedipassed

Xavier's whining to me now, at 1am, while im doing my I and R. Complaining about something called 1SB2 and telling me he should be in 1SE1 cause we're stupid therefore they give us better teachers who dont get bitch fits etc. Its 1am, too early man... too early

And i passed everything!! 3A 2AO yess yessssss YEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS now i can really relax during the hols. Somehow i feel that i dont deserve to relax because i didnt mug that hard after all... But God really owns man, he has a way of making everything work out in the end, like during O levels.

OK im too pro im done with my I and R already so good night and ill try and update more tmr.

pffffffffffffffffffffft results

1A 2AO. No different from terms. Will promote without having to take supps if they moderate correctly. Im only worried that my CAs will pull my overall down to fail.. But i really thank god for giving me that peace during every exam except physics, to stay calm and concentrate. Although in the end the only one i passed was physics la lol.

But its so horrible, alot of my classmates did quite badly, i feel so sorry for them. They dont deserve those grades at all, I probably deserve it more than them. I really want every se1er to promote, each of them impacts the class in their own way and it'll be very different even if one of us are missing. But result slips coming back tomorrow, so we'll all know the outcome soon.

Life has been schooldotasleep for the past few days. so screwed up. I think i should get a life and not dota so much, its fun when you play like once a day not 10 hours in a row for 2 days like i did over the weekend.

Maybe i should have a goal in life. Then i can actually start working towards something, lol. But seriously, I should think about that more during holidays... and compile a list of things to do this hols. Yes, very important or ill just waste it away on Battle.net like i did with every long holiday i had since sec3.

As usual i was going to blog about alot more stuff but im suddenly tired and hungry(for more dota). I shall blog more tomorrow when i get the results back. Pray hard people.

my suicide letter

Im so sorry friends, I really had such a great time with you in the mortal world, now its time for me to move on into the nether world. Bye bye and see you in 80 years time when you die of normal stuff like cardiac arrests while i have to die tmr by jumping of andre's 30 story block. At least i know ill only feel pain for 0.001 secs, which is less than human reaction time anyways. LOL. Ok i lied, i know suicide sux, ill just come back after being sad about it for like a lifetime.

So i realised why sometimes(ok most) my blogs are short and organised. Because im either going to play or in the midst of a dota game so my thoughts are extremely scattered. Luckily im playing less dota and playing more officials these days. Times have changed already, my 2003 mass fiends to pwn strat is damn outdated, the trend is more ghouls/gargs now, or at least that's what i see in replays and strategy forums. And omg the new matchup system is damn bad lar. I keep getting matched up with level 12 and above when im only level 5, its something like once you reach 50% wins they start giving u hard opponents. So hard :(

Results. Results out tmr. Im actually damn worried but like alot of people told me its already marked too late to change anything. Just hope i can promote without taking subs, or even take subs, i just dont wanna retain. My aspirations of getting 3 distinctions have been reduced to just getting through year one, how sad. It kinda sucks to be unprepared for every exam since my eye one. LOL. get it? eye examination. Anyways everything is in god's hands and i trust he knows whats best for me. Chang's msn nick is something like "For i know the plans i have for you, declares the lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you......" you know that bible verse? So like i told alot of people, god probably didnt plan for tmr. hah

Open house on saturday. I remember going there on a saturday not too long ago, with alot of barker boys. I remember taking 196 home from acjc for the first time in my life that day. I remember telling myself "I WANT TO BE HERE". I remember the goodie bags, which i will be giving to MeOneYearAgo's. I remember how happy we all were then. I remember the false impressions we had of AC, like we actually thought it was a happy place. But i guess it is lar, its just a different sort of happiness from the one we experienced in barker.
False impressions: we all have them until we finally realize they are false. If you get what i mean.

So there was this raving lunatic on 48 today. He got on at holland village and was still on the bus when i left. He was damn crazy la, holding this murder weapon in his hand, screaming vulgarities telling people if they were going to die, at the top of his voice, and he was banging his head on the windows and seats of the bus too.

LIKE WTF, how can this kinda people even be allowed in public? Its damn scary lar. And me, landon, lucas and some acs i guy whom we befriended while laughing at the psycho were just laughing at him. Until when su got off the banged the glass damn loudy and made the psycho even more psycho. Su u fucker, he was staring at us after that. So lucas and me freaked out and moved forward to where the barkers boys were sitting. Thats another cool thing about 48, it services every single AC school in singapore. ACS(I), International, ACJC, ACS Barker, Primary and ACJS.

LUCKILY i met the barker boy who stayed in my condo, so i had company until my house. But he was still screaming and banging his head on random hard objects in the bus and freaking the entire bus out lar. The boy who stays near me tells me the madman is always on 48, but its the first time i've seen him. Im damn traumatised now, but if i meet him tmr i might just murder him instead because of my results.

ok. this entire post has no flow. Im talking about totally different stuff every paragraph. Maybe i should spend more time blogging in the future, just to make my blog readible. HAH, in 12 hours time ill be damn happy or more probably damn sad. Pray for me people. Please

Letter to counsellor

I realised that i was cursing that guy too much in the previous post and ill probably get into deep shit. So i deleted it, and replaced it with this.

Dear (Referee of that match),

Thanks for being so impartial, fair and nice. Even though we were getting fouled, hit, scratched and cursed at, you were so fair in letting them continue the match without doing anything. I totally appreciate it. Totally.

Thanks also for allowing all the snatching away of balls and rough play without doing anything, that was so nice of you. And disallowing the last goal, that was the best part. We're so glad that we lost the match because of your help. Seriously, we're like so grateful.

The 30th students council really rocks, i hope to see more of this in future events.

Yours sincerely,
30th Students Council Supporter

haha its ended

Newton's law of gravitation states that the gravitational force acting on any two point masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart, and it acts along the line joining the two masses.

YESS!! I know i got at least one mark for physics.. ok but thats no consolation. I know i effed section C, because i did the mechanics question when gary chan told us not to do it. because i only had 15mins to do section C, because i had no sense of urgency while doing section B, because i thought my physics was damn good, because i passed it for terms. The list could go on.

But im just glad its over, even though i didnt really mug that hard. The rest is in god's hands.

And i saw this ghost at cine today. It was damn freaky..They shouldnt have this kinda publicity stints anymore. But then again its damn interesting, maybe i should go there tmr again to see if they're doing it again.

The most depressing thing is that my motherboard isnt back yet. Im not sure if DHL does deliveries on weekends, but THEY BETTER DO. Because i really wanna play with my classmates before i get my (depressing) results back. But qing is right, dota sux... it pwns you in alot of ways. I need a new passtime.

how can it end when i havent started?

Argh crapp promos are ending tmr and i feel like i've hardly started revision. I could do all the papers so far but getting marks is another issue..

And im not feeling stressed either. I mean... I should be feeling damn stressed at this point, cramming my ass off till wee hours in the morning before sleeping 2 hours and cramming more on the way to school. But maybe i just have a really effective way of reducing my stress, because i oddly feel prepared for the papers before i start them.. keeps me calm and relaxed, which is good. So like i know the concepts and everything but it just cant apply them well cause i didnt do practice questions..

But who cares about promos anymore. in 12 hours time ill be on my M-m-m-Monster Kill!!! And intel hasnt started shipping my motherboard back to me yet, so i might not even get it back this weekend, but i still have to go buy my graphics card. Should i buy ATI Radeon 9250 or GeForce4 Eagle?? Both are like 128mb and OMG cheap. ahahah wtf am i talking about i should be mugging now...

Promotion seems impossible

I made an acronym for promos :)
[P]romote Or
[R]etain?
[O]nly
[M]uggers
[O]bstinately
[S]mile.

ok thats damn stupid. lol. finished 3 papers so far...

g.p- compo was ok, just regurgitated all the globalisation crap i read in the car,but i think compre pwnt me, only wrote 1 page for AQ and no time to summarize.
chem-lol chem.... i saw this girl crying after the paper. guess i was beyond tears chinese- i actually understood close passage and compre, but i messed hanyu pinyin and summary.

so jpang finally unblocked me and told me how cool his life is, he's like in students council there and aces all the tests. and he doesnt get kicked around the school like he used to... and he gets to meet hot babes. and im like here mugging my ass off just to get 3 passes to take sups next year omg..
