Finally Jap Exams are over. Thank you for the most than 12 people that wished me good luck - I seriously can't rmb all of ya but thanks! And SING SONG rocks big time! (more abt it later..)

Firstly, I just want to say Clarinda Choh Ms. is a very understanding teacher. Why? Cos she allowed the third lang pple to haf early dismissal and spend her double period for revision of third lang!!! So good eh?

Secondly, I want to inform everyone that my chinese officially suck! Cos' i had 53/80 for the mock test and that's like less than an A2? Together with summary and compo, my score is only 71.7 and that's not what I got my exemption for... Nevertheless, what I am angry is that Yufeng beat me by 1 mark! Wth! And Kah Wee also had 53/80! But on the other side, I beat ah zek by i mark and I tie with chin seng, the exemption king of class 2O. Yay!

Ok, so the third lang people sat on the bus to the centre, which Marcus sat beside me and we gossiped cos' we both had car sick after trying to revise more on the bus.. :D So we began the game of "Who do you like more as a friend?" for our class by register no.s and go through the list and the last one will be the best friend in class. Marcus was stuck between Hurwitz and me but in the end, he chose me. Yay? Lol, he commented that he doesn't have any good friends ever, esp. in our pathetic class. : ( Sheng Wei on the end, ended up with Jie Fu and Jianyi ended up with Kun Won.

Then, recalling the smses between me and Jinyang yesterday night cos' i was bored from studying and needed someone to entertain me or sth, he asked me about the most shuai and 2nd cutest in class cos he is so sure that I am the cutest. Dotz.. So i replied that yufeng is the most shuai and either sua yu or marcus would be the cutest in 2M. Haha, and when I told Marcus that, he immediately acted attitude and he looked so funny! I was like trying not to giggle but in the end I burst out laughing and I asked him the same question. He had the same answer for the most shai part but couldn't find an answer for the cutest part. He was like pondering, "who ELSE is cute in our class?" Should I feel honoured? No rite?

THIRD LANGUAGE EXAMINATION PAPER 2004 - JAPANESE LANGUAGE: Gosh.. How I hated that paper. It was so damn hard and I had to half guess the answer most of the time, esp. listening part. Predicted score + Oral = 62/100 - b4. Sad rite? I mean, albeit all the good lucks from Khaiboon, kianhong, sua yu, ting wei, kuang li, jeffrey, chih jiang, sean, jianyi, marcus, malcolm, yufeng, I still disappointed them. Or at least I am disappointed by my predicted results. So after the test, I smsed a few lot of my predicament, the replies were quite encouraging - like 'have confidence! we'll always be behind you!' or 'haha. with your standards sure can get a1 la..' I sort of never feel so zibei anymore. Now Jap is over, focus on English.

Err.. Dinner at food court of J8 with Jeffrey. Yummy spicy udon + Tori karaage + Sushi @ $4.90! Yum! So we set off back to school and took the bus to Marine Parade Com. Centre and we sang our hearts out with jianyi's mp3 playr. Very fun! The place was quite nice and we saw Koh Chieng Mun a.k.a Dolly in Under One Roof. She seriously needs Extrim but we were like so eager and fanatic to get her autograph. J/king.

So the play Sing Song started. A fat Malay nyonya lady started off her amazing voice singing some song from Carpenters that rocks and a medley of other songs by 3 other performers and a Tic Tac Tones a capella choir came in and the whole harmony was so nice! We were entertained throughout the whole musical with all the nice songs and Gloria Estefan's 'Rhythm's gonna get you" was featured in it. The whole audience is brought to laughter with the presence of Kumar and his Indian jokes and snake charming feats. Totally amusing. Frankly, everything was quite nice except the as in the older man of the 4, the chinese guy cos he was mucn older but had an equally unique voice and thick tone that was real good. I was teary when he narrated the whole experience of losing his father and his last words were 'Don't cry.' It was very touching indeed. Basically, the performance is worth more than $6.80 and I really hope that everyone will take the opportunity to watch the singing and everything. It rocks and it ends on 3rd Oct. So watch it k?

OMG! I absolutely love 'Before Your Love' by Kelly Clarkson! God knows why!

I mean, I've sent the song to both Jianyi and Marcus and they both didn't like it. But for some weird reason, after listening to it long enough, I am beginning to like it at first then now I love it!!! Kelly's my atm Idol!!! Yahoo! She rocks! Those that also like Kelly Clarkson, please go to this website to see Breakaway, Miss Independent and A Moment Like This MTVs!!! (webbie recommended by Marcus. Again.)

Today is quite an okay day for me I guess, classes weren't that boring before recess (maths and chinese) was rather fei and extra, cos' Lerong and Albert said that I was extra cos' I was enthusiastic enough to do the mock paper Mr. Leetk gave us to complete even though I was well you know, exempted from taking the examination paper of the relevant subject. Same for chinese, except that YangWZ told us that Liu Xiang, the gold medallist will be visiting our school tomorrow during the CS period and hopefully we can get out of the lesson and meet this legendary PRC for once. Then I can have his signature and sell for $$$!!! :)

Assembly was quite ok, the special programmes talk wasn't exactly interesting, but it ain't boring either so I was a little distracted sometimes by Jin Yang cute expressions and Chin Seng's funny actions and stuff then sometimes I look at TanLS Mdm. and listen to her speak. Yay! She said that those that are not interested to go to Humans Class, will go to the 'normal' class in iSpark, that means the Maths and Science Class with nice nice people like Jianyi, MelWan, Marcus and others and not-so-nice people like Yong Lin, Jie Fu and not nice people like LanYJ. Anyway, I will still belong to iSpark!!! Haha.. Wonder if this is good or not? Depends.

Double literature was ok, cos when Laurang Mrs. came into class, Jianyi immediately commented, 'Woah. Blonde so fast tuen into brunette already ar." Then I just burst out in laughter cos the image of Mrs. Ng dancing shamelessly with her 80's draggy fashion sense and her bouncy frizzy blonde hair and the contrast with her image today was juxtapository. Then her voice was sore, so it made her sounded like a man and possessed. 'You look possessed.' - Judge from American's Next Top Model to a failed-attempt-on-seducing gal. Hilarious.

After school was quite fun, cos' I played capteh with Albert until 3 and took a bus off with Jianyi when we dared each other on smsing queer stuff for other's responses. I smsed, "Do you think that I am hot?" to Jin Yang, Chin Seng and Nigel, whereas Jianyi smsed, "Do you want to know me better?" to Sheng Wei, Ge Wei and MelWan.

Then I immediately got my responses from Jin Yang saying that I am more cute than hot (dunno whether this is supposed to be good), Chin Seng saying that I am hot with my moustache and Nigel with a big huh and a question mark. Frankly, I really do think that Jin Yang is very cute and more cuter than me cos' he is funny and umm... hilarious and umm... humourous and umm.. funny. So everyone should divert all the attention on me to him cos' he is a very very very very cute guy. And why doesn't it show on my face? Cos I am having bulltocks now and I can't show any expressions for the next 1.5 hrs!! It dawned on me that there are actually so many potential good friends to be with in the switching of class next year but sigh.. Darrell is going to Humanities Class. Darrell is such a qiang zhe cos his English and Lit. rocks big time! Unlike me... Wah.. I want to be in the same class with my good friends!!! :'( Separation is hard but reunion is sweet right?

Gee.. Jap exam is only 2 days away. And I really have to mug like mad tomorrow from lesson 19-24. Sigh.. I've been procrastinating and I studied too little in the past few days. Me must get A1!! Even though Japanese overall grade doesn't affect overall MSG. Then why do we still bother about Japanese?

The whole exam stress bug has gotten into a lot of people. E.g. Marcus and his influenza virus and Sean, with his cranky personality cos' the competition in his class is too stiff... I really hope that I don't get sick these days. It can really be a waxdrop on a wonderful cake if I was really sick.

New analogy - "waxdrop on a wonderful cake": A descriptive analogy juxtaposing the saying, "Cherry on top of a fantastic year." So this analogy refers to the fact of something not synchronised or 'with' the general picture could spoil the whole thing, which means my A1 and possible ever 1.00-1.3 MSG. haha. I am being complacent.

Wow, it's already 12am and it's time to say goodnite and goodbye!

Monday Blues: What more can I say?

Sigh... Today marks a bad start of the week. I mean, other than Geog lesson, when it's the only time to enjoy luxurious air-con and nice seats, watching The Matrix for the whole period, the other lessons suck so i shan't talk about it any further.

Hmm. Maybe the only thing worth talking about is that my chang wen suo duan sucks big time even though i managed to snatch 2 points from YangWZ, which improved my score from a miserable 16 to a mediocre 18. Fine, Jian yang u beat me. :(

I realised that my previous post about Jeffrey is definitely too explosive and insulting but I really was pissed off at that time. So thoroughout the whole J8 trip with Sheng Wei, Jianyi, Marcus, Jeffrey n Weishi, Yufeng and Benjamin, we didn't talk at all.

Btw, the udon set with tori karaage and sushi sold at the food court was fantastic and cheap at $4.90 and it filled my stomach.. Yummy! So Sheng Wei, Marcus, Yufeng, Ben and I sat on one table, and the Diablo gang sat on another. It's always fun to have lunches with the company cos' they are so nice to mock and so fun to play with. Sigh.. I am really going to miss some of them next year.. :(

Back to the topic, I really do apologise about the post on the blog which most likely hurt you but I really do think some things shouldn't go too far aboard. Everyone has their own limits and I passed mine on Saturday. But now, I am turning dormant. So what I can suggest is, maybe work on your oversensitivity and I'll work on my insensitivity then there would be WORLD PEACE!
We actually talked at 3rd lang centre, so things wouldn't be that bad I hope... :)

Around the House

Thought that some of my fanatic blog readers might want to know and see more of my living surroundings so here you go!

1. The Clouds of Life

Below you will see clouds of 3 shades - Black, gray and white. The path of life is similar to the colours of the cloud, you take a wrong turn and you will direct yourself to the black cloud, and if you choose the right path, you'll see white all the way. Most of the time, we are so confused with all the paths and dilemmas that we lost our own self and submit ourselves to the middle possessive gray cloud, showing that in life, choosing which kind of life we lead is all decided upon our own hands. Erm.. This is acutally a neighbourhood picture when looking out from my bedroom window. I found it nice so I captured it... :P

Clouds of Life

2. Retro Kitchen

The picture below is a picture of my kitchen. The whole ambience is totally beautiful and retro-ish as the fluoroscent light bulb broke and so my father changed it into a nice, warm, orange light today. Beautiful eh?

Retro Kitchen!!!

3. My Room

This is the picture of my bedroom. Typical of me, a messy and untidy bedroom where I study, chat and play computer games on it and sleep on the comfortable bed. Duh...

Like always, SLC was a rather fei day, where all iSparkians and their parents have to come down to school on a Saturday to listen to something that they already knew long ago.

Therefore, my 'clever' parents didn't attend the conferencing and my surrogate parent changed from Mr. Leetk to Ms Foo. Yay! Ms. Foo is a more 'fun' person to tok to and boast about MY achievements blah....

At 11.30, I was made to go to meet Ms. Choh with Tai Boon and Kun Won for the play and they rehearsed until 12.30. Then we carried books to the counter in front of the drama centre and stuff. I mean, I felt so damn extra. Firstly, I didnt act and secondly, I ain't even a councillor!! So what's the point of asking me to go to school at 11.30 and look at them act? Gosh...

So after some talks and video playing in the drama centre, which for some stupid reason again, YangWZ contributed the video of me presenting the chinese speech abt whether schools should encourage young entrepreneurs to set up stalls in the school compound bleargh~..

So it was sharing time. Yay. Hurwitz and kaijun presented to Ms Foo first, so MelWan and I sat behind them and toked about everything. I found out that MelWan is actually a very funny boy and very naughty one also. He told me about how innocent Mr. Leetk is, cos when MelWan finished the maths wksheet and did English stuff, Mr. Leetk asked him what he was doing and he promptly replied that he was doing English and showed him the maths wksheet he completed and Mr. lee just allowed him to continue doing his english stuff...

He also told me how people procrastinate during Mr. Ho's chinese lesson cos everyone was like staring at him and absorbing nothing and MelWan always does his own work and occassionally looks up and ask a few questions to act enthu and return back to his work. And Bernard tan, was playing gameboy at the back every chinese lessons w/o Mr. Ho catching him! 2N is a real scary class, that's why I like my class so much... >.<

So when it's MelWan's turn to present, he invited me to sit beside him and he presented very humourously and act-cutedly. Very fun to see him present cos when Ms Foo asked him questions, he would reply in a very unenthu but funny manner.

e.g.:

Ms Foo: Which special class are you intending to join next year?
Mel: Math and Science lor. Because my maths is very qiang and my science is quite good, even though it is dropping and so I very sad cos I never get exemption.
Ms Foo: What are you looking out for in your class?
Mel: No irritating people in my class. Sigh.. Ying Jie may go to maths and Science class you know? So sad... (Acts crying)

I know it may not sound funny by reading it, but I just can't stop laughing when he was presenting his 'portfolio' and stuff... It was so funny and nice to see him whining and saying how sad he was cos his maths exemption didn't make him superior cos Leetk was too kind in giving exemptions.

So it was my turn to present. Before I can talk about my Professional Resume. Jeffrey promptly came and sat beside Ms Foo and listened to my presentation and kept interrupting me saying, 'bu4 yao4 lian2' and other shit that got me so pissed off... I mean, what's wrong with presenting all my leadership stuff? He's just jealous that I have better results, better leadership and better everything than him that's all. And isn't he sensitive to know that it is impolite to interrupt other's presentation? I mean, MelWan didn't interrupt my presentation and I invited him tos it beside me for my pres as well. But Jeffrey? He came without asking and give additional useless comments and when I asked Ms. Foo if she could chase Jeffrey off, Jeffrey just said, "I want to stay here. Go on with your presentation." Goddamnit! He thinks he is so damn superior and can do what he wants! Please lor, dun feel zibei if you have nothing much to present, taiboon didnt even prepare a portfolio and he presented 3 times longer than you did, which you only put in your 5 pieces of work with commendable results in it and make yourself feel so happy. If you think that your 5 pieces of work shows that you are good, people like Zheng Hang, Sua Yu and Jianyi will make you feel more zibei by filling up a file full of good works and another file for the portfolio.. Jeffrey just screwed up my whole presentation and all my work and reflections put in portfolio became useless in his presence..

(P.S: If you are angered by the paragraph above, it's okay with me. The purpose of the blog is to show one's feelings and everything right? So I am just making my point. Sorry for the 'insensitivity' caused.)

Nevertheless, after SLC, I bought an intuition book cos I am always absorbed in intuition and premonition so I bought it at $3. Being a kind-hearted soul, I gave a $10 to the lady at the counter and just asked her to give me $5 change so I could have my meal and walked off. It felt good to know that I have helped some people, even though it is a mere donation of $2.

Then taiboon, kunwon, jianyi, jeffrey and I went to KAP for dinner and I tried out my intuition book with Jianyi being my psychologist and helping me to take down my immediate answers. Quite fun but maybe I was taking it too seriously.

In all, today is a Sunday and since my Jap exam is on next Thurs, this means that I have to study for Jap exam and so I say, 'Astalavista'!

Today, as described by Tai Boon's was a fei day for me. Cos we had double Science, double Maths and double Chinese for lessons today. You know why rite? I am not complacent ar, its all from taiboon's mouth!

Basically today is a rather boring day cos we spent the Science lessons doing GEP 2002 paper and marking it, double Maths for revision of all topics tested and Chinese, the mock test, which I think that those exempted studied harder than those not exempted.

After school, the SLC skit members went to the drama centre to rehearse and when no one was in the drama centre, I stood on the stage and sang 'a moment like this' to sua yu and jianyi. It was so fun! But when I saw the main door open, I immediately went down the stage and sat beside sua yu making it seemed that tai boon was the one singing cos' he was still on the stage. Sigh.. It's still so lame but at least I feel relaxed for some reason.. :P

Things are getting much much brighter for my school life. The results, the company, well, most of the things I guess.

Yay! Firstly, I have already 4 A1s for my end-of-year exams already. I just need to do well for english and pass up the PHP project for com. studies to get a near 1.00 MSG for end of year. It might be my only chance ever to get 1.00 or 1.1. I really want to do well this year... :P

Cos' yesterday, we got back our MRPs from Mrs. Laurang and for CPK, I had 31.6/40 + 7 bonus = 38.6/40!!! Coolness. And after calculation of CPK + 2nd submission and overall bonus, I already have 74.3/80 and I just need to attend the oral defence examination and get easily get A1!!!

And when we got our exemption list today. And once I saw my slip, I was shocked. Truly shocked and happy. Originally I anticipated maths, chinese and science. But Mr. Suresh told me that I couldnt be exempted from Science cos I had a 73 A2 for Term2. Blame those vulvas and uteruses. And for maths, Mr. leetk told me that he did not rmb seeing my name on the exemption list. So all my hopes were on Chinese. But the exemption slip wrote,

Lim Khee Xuan, we are pleased to inform you that you have been exempted from the following subject(s):

1. LOWER SECONDARY SCIENCE
2. HIGHER CHINESE
3. MATHEMATICS

I was like jumping up and down as I have the same subjects exempted as Yong Lin's and Zheng Hang's. I pwn'ed lots of people - Sua Yu who was exempted from English and Chinese, Yufeng, who was exempted from Chinese, Sheng Wei has science and Tai Boon have no exemptions. For this year, Jianyi got exemption for Science too! So happy for him. Quoted from him, "I was overjoyed when I was exempted from Science until I saw your exemption slip and knew that you were also exempted."

So if everything goes well, I only need about 60% for the end-of-year to get my first A1 for secondary school life and my average standard is about 64-65%. Hope I can sustain that and get my first ever English A1. For com. studies, sigh, its unpredictable as it might be the subject that stopped me from pursuing my record MSG. Sigh... Fate. :S

But SLC!!!! I have to retype the script thingy and send it to Jianyi and others. I don't want to act! SLC is the worst thing on earth and my 'parent' for that day will be none other than Lee Teck Kong Mr.!!!

I love 'A moment like this' by Kelly Clarkson. She rocks! Sigh... Brandon n Nicole didnt win AMazing Race yesterday. Oh it was sad... :'( But at least the winners were Chip and Kim and not COLIN AND CHRISTIE!!! Goddamnit, they really do suck. But all is over and now my attention will be on S'pore Idol and Survivor!!! Teenagers theseadays...

Today is definitely the best day of the week. Or as compared to yesterday and Sunday.

Firstly, Mrs. Laura Ng was sick today so there wasn't any Literature lessons and that means no Emily or Emerald Hill! Yay! But we still had boring Chinese and slack poem shitty lesson by Warren liew for relief. Haha, the only amusement was that Zheng Hang, our class mugger, said the 'f' word for the first time. Oh gosh, betcha he's crying in his mom's arms now and his father his caning him already. Sad. :(

Secondly, I cut my hair yesterday. That ain't a very good nice bu I still like my hair now. It's punk'd! And I didnt know that I had such a huge reaction when I just cut my hair, like in band when khai boon and Sean exclaimed that I had my hair cut and the bigger response when i returned to my class for reading period when Jian yang was like, "you should have left your hair longer." and blah.

Thirdly, Sua Yu and Jianyi approached me today to group together to do the Science Mentorship Project for IRS next year. I was rather hesistant but their topic interests me so much that I had to agree. It sounds like fun and we were quite good friends so it'd be great to work together. And we were like jokingly saying that we must beat Jeffrey and Weishi's grp flat cos' they were doing the same topic as us. I have absolutely no idea but to laugh at their childishness to compete and saying, "i Don't Friend You! Hmph." And we agreed that we wanted another member to join us. So we originally chose Kun Won, but after a few more discussions, we wanted Marcus! Yes! Because he works and he doesn't slack and he be funny boi.

We thought that we had one of the best groups ever cos Jianyi is good in Science, Sua Yu is enthusiastic in science and always get High D for 2 consecutive years for PD and Marcus doesn't slack and I erm... Call me an inferior if you wish but I must do work also. Until when Sua Yu read the SMP application form and said that there could only be 3 in a group. So we were discussing whether to kick me out or let Marcus leave cos it's sad to kick one person out. Then, eureka! Sua Yu said that it would be easier to do IRS and we can do the same topic and can have 4 people in a grp! So we said Yay! and Yay!

But... Another problem - What if I joined the normal class and go to be a Pro-Ed? In order to remain in iSpark, i need to join a 'special' programme. Or else, I'll have to transfer to other consortiums! No!!! I wanna be in the same class with all my friends! And everything will be so hard to do once we are in different class. but nevertheless, I am still happy!

Point to ponder for the day: If calling people fat makes one insensitive, how about going around lying to everyone about someone else's obsession on one's MSN nick when that is so not true? Think about it. You know who I am talking about.

An average day for me today. Actually the whole day was rather boring. Very boring indeed.

Firstly, I think I pissed a lot of people today. For some queer reason, I feel very victiminised by the haunting fact that I am getting my retribution of mocking lots of other people. Nevertheless, today sucks.

School basically sucked like always, only for the Geog period when we could actually sit back, relax in the air-con room and watch the Matrix. Coolness, but the other periods were hell. Double English and Chinese are the banes of my school life. Not mentioning friendships and so on.

The only other interesting part of schooltime today is when I almost, almost called Mr. LeeTK a female dog, cos he laughed at me for not / or not remembering seeing my name on the exemption list for Maths then he went 'Hahahaha' and I just exclaimed, "You b(^%^@%$lah!" and he asked me to watch my mouth. The rest of school I couldn't bother to talk about it.

Right after dismissal of school, I went to J8 with the usual company, without cute yufeng and kawaii marcus, but in addition of Weishi, which for some reason made up with Jeffrey after sec 2 camp after Jeffrey attituding him for more than 3 months or more I think.

So when we boarded the bus, Wei Shi and Jeffrey shoved Jianyi and Sheng Wei to a corner and began their aunty chat. I mean, during the journey to J8, Jeffrey kept calling me insensitive again and I was like, "erm. shoving two people that are currently not on good terms together on the same seat is being sensitive eh?" Nevertheless, we just ate at Yoshinoya and went to 3rd lang centre right after.

I was like so damn bored and shit before third lang. Jeffrey and Wei Shi continued their sending of yufeng's 'cute' pics via bluetooth and were laughing at each other's awesomeness. I was like staring at them, thinking about why were they so over about a small guy taller than me by 3cm and have attitude problem. No doubt yufeng is hotter and more handsome than me, but there is a fine line between amusement and obsession. I am amused at you guys' obsession.

Japanese lesson really sucks big time! I was almost half asleep for the first 1hr of class but I still managed to learn something about the 'a-ge-ru' and 'mo-ra-u' forms and applications. So boring! The only reason why I still stay in 3rd lang is because of association with people like attitude.boi yufeng, hostility-is-my-personality sheng wei, ma-ru-i jeffrey, niceguy jianyi and marcus. Gosh, now I realised how Marcus actually can keep me from sleeping with his queer looks and braces. Haha, I was like torturing him with the stupid compass and pouring water over him and stuff cos' his reaction are so much like cute! Not kun won that kind of cynical cute, nor yufeng's type of handsome cute, erm.. just adorable cos he keeps insulting me and give me that stupid sarcastic look. Whereas yong lin and zheng hang might be the reason why I hate japanese lessons. I didnt say that.

Then I went for a hair cut. Yes! A hair cut to cut my long filthy hair, revealing all the gruesome, ugly pimples that constitutes about 1% of oil from a lard saturated overweight person. My hair now is like somewhat punk'd and spikey, and it actually looks quite nice! Grool...

Wishing for a better tomorrow. And pia-ing/mugging like never before for the next few weeks. May I bless myself. Amen.

P.S: Grammatical error of Amen. As 'man' is the singular form, it will be either 'Aman' or 'Men' as 'men' is in the plural form. So it will be wrong to have "a-(plural form)'. It's like, "Can I have a apples please?", "No more apple? Bananananas also can." It's just so wrong... Bein lame here. :P

Jap Oral / Dodgeball / Chalet

Yesterday was quite a good day for me. There was no bad omen. Everything was fine. So ladida, I went to 3rd lang centre at about 9.35 and meet Ah Zek, Joshua and Wei Shi at the table area. Then received lots of good luck msgs from jeffrey, Khaiboon, kianhong and taiboon. Woa.. Never knew that I was so 'popular'... Lolz..

Then saw Malcolm doing last minute speech for the oral thingy that lasted for only 34 seconds but anyway, then Marcus came to the centre then for some reason, I think it was the hair or something or was it just him that makes him look exceptionally handsome or cute at that moment. Not saying that he ain't nice-looking during schooltimes. Hmm.. Or was it his triple eyelids are gone and make his eyes look more even or wat? Anyway, he still looks nicer than me. But lolz, his oral speech still lasts for more than 1 minute and I am laughing at him cos' he is still so very very blur like always. Then Joshua and esp. Weishi started the phototaking again to annoy me, and I kept looking at my ugly pic which they actually described as 'cute'. Eurgh.. I just ate up my regurgitated vomit.

Then, we went to the classrm for our oral, which i was the first, then I hugged Malcolm good luck and wished Marcus and Albert good luck then I went for the oral exam. The passage reading was quite okay, I think I only misread one kanji and the rest should be quite well read. The speech was rather intimidating because it was so godamn obvious that I was memorising my speech and the examiner kept staring at me with 'enthusiasm' and I was rather frightened cos she really looked like an old cute hag. She definitely need braces. Then finally was the general conversation section when she kept asking me about my interest in Geography cos I mentioned it in my speech and about when do i do homework and so on. Generally, I think I didnt screw up and when I returned to the canteen, I saw Yufeng, jeffrey, Joshua and weishi there still waiting for people.

This time, luckily, Wei Shi turned all his attention to taking snapshots of lil' yufeng. Honestly, I think that yufeng ain't really photogenic. Or that the quality of the phonecam is pathetic. Or both. And my eyes are small. Yufeng's mouth is like donald duck. And Jeffrey and weishi are overweight. And these are totally irrelevant.

So when Malcolm and Marcus came out from the room, they both said that they screwed up cos they paused too much for the speech part. I just gave them a chuckle and say 'won't fail one la' and pat them on their shoulder. What a good friend I am. Goody KX.

Then me, Weishi, Jeffrey, Jianyi and Chih Jiang went to watch Dodgeball. It is quite lame but very funny storyline. A Hollywood Shaolin soccer I would say. 3/5 stars from Khee Xuan's movie column. Everything in the movie is stupid and crappy. And the $7.50 aint worth it. Should have dloaded it instead. :(

Then we went to shop around the gifts shop cos I am real desperate to buy birthday gifts for my friends which I currently refuse to tell anyone who, what and when. Hmm.. I really need to save up if I also want to be a Marimo (japanese algae) for myself. I want wealth, beauty and love. That will cost me $48. One algae is about $15.90. But can't be bothered. Study first. Why does everyone say that I mug? I don't right? Right?

Then mi took MRT to tampines with Jeffrey and my cousins sent me from Tampines Mall to the chalet at Changi. It is like a haunted house or those ranger stations you see along the roads at Sentosa. I hate chalets. Esp. if I have to spend the day and night with my father side family cos they are an ignorant and noisy bunch of chatters that play mahjong non-stop or watch Tv and gossip non-stop. Maybe that's why I gossip so much. But that's not the point. The point is that I am being so damn extra and so unconstructive at that place and I am confined to a bed room to mug and mug which i didnt.

I helped so much to barbecue the chicken wings, butter king prawns and satay, where the spoilt unhelpful relatives just sat down in front of the TV and rushed us for more food and didnt help at all. Damn those people. I mean, after the whole barbecue which i helped for about 2 hrs, I only managed to eat 2 prawns and 4 satays. Nothing else. No chicken wings, no fish, nothing else. Hate them. It's the same 3months ago when I was stuck in the chalet with the same people, with other more distant relatives that sent 4 young bitches to annoy me and aggravate me into my flu and asthma. i hate chalets! Except the one with taiboon, jianyi, shengwei and tingwei last yr. That was more decent than yesterday's chalet.

So at night, I watched Police story on Channel 8 and attempted to do the maths worksheet but it didnt work out. I just couldnt concentrate and don't know how to do the circles worksheet. I mean, I can't see any pattern and apply any properties. So i gave up and watched the movie and continued another HongKong film by Andy Liu about framing people and stuff. Totally interesting. I slept halfway the movie and was sent by my father to sleep in the room until 1.00pm this afternoon.

Then I attituded all my relatives and my father sent me back home and had their 'leftover' porridge. So this is how they treat me, fine. I can't be bothered. I am not the good Khee Xuan in the household anymore. I really don't want to be. It sucks to accomodate their misgivings and attitude problem. Sigh...

Phew band is finally over! But nevertheless, I've got so much to say about every little thing in my life that may seem so ever uninteresting to all. BUT I am still going to say it. No matter what. So Jian Yang can have the liberty of NOT reading my blog for leisure purposes and laugh at my pathetic grammatical errors that somehow have popped up for every 5 words that I typed.

Ok, firstly, I am happy to say that I sort of like band nowadays, esp. morning assembly cos there are 2 things in life to cheer me up during flag raising. 1. I get to see Kun Won, Sean, Rujun, Chin Seng and Khaiboon etc. and these people mean a lot to my school band life cos' without them I will be like so sad and lonely and blah~. And for bonuses, sometimes I get to meet up with and talk to my favourite senior ever in my secondary school band life, Daniel, cos' he always arrives school at about 7.05am so we can meet and talk a little before he goes for his O levels science practical prelims. These people really always brighten up my day before everything. 2. Terence is currently practising with me to hold long notes on my euphonium - Long High Notes. Sigh.. For some reason, my tone is still like shit but for some other queer reasons, Terence actually likes my tone. I still have difficulties pulling concert E flat and F, cos my high pitching sucks big time, but for today, I can actually pitch Concert G, a new note that I can never play for more than one beat of it! Yay!

Also, nowadays I have alot of fave songs to sing - Hmm.. Under Marcus' influence, I now like Breakaway by Kelly, Our Lips are Sealed by Haylie and Hilary Duff, Fly by Hilary Duff. Under the good recommendation of Cinderella Story by Marcus also, I downloaded the movie and watched it. Of course, I then downloaded the OST: Now You Know, Come Clean, Girl Can Rock by Hilary Duff and the Best Day of My Life by Jessey McCartney. And under Jianyi's influence and Singapore idol's influence, I've revisited loads of old 'idol' songs and If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys. However, with my possibly breaking of voice, I seemingly cannot reach the high registers like I could last time. Nevertheless, I am still happy with my range cos' I can still sing higher than most people in class. P.S.: If any of you haven't heard Marcus sing "Breakaway", you should. His singing is quite nice basically, very nice tone and good pitching, a potential disinterested singer. Lol, I just remembered that I wrote 'Singing' under the Intellectual Disposition and 'Singer' as my aspiration in the Interestalyser given at the start of the year. So pai seh... :S

Last thing is I MUST GET SLEEP!!! Especially this week, I've been sleeping at 12 something, and the next day I always took extra naps on the car and my eyes and face look so energy-less during flag raising and that's like so ugly! Not that I am very vain and stuff, but really, it feels so bad to be tired, during class when I feel so much like shutting my eyelids and doze off, which i have never done before and talking lame stuff to Jianyi cos I have the habit of saying lame stuff when I am bored/tired. Third lang is even worse, esp. on Monday, when our class is not air-conditioned, I ALWAYS doze off for 5 minutes and learn nothing much. That's sad because my grades have been dropping from A1 to B3 and I really have to work harder to get back to A1 for my End of Year Examination. Sigh... And there's japanese oral exam tomorrow and I haven't prepared for the 1 minute speech! Gosh... I am so slacky.

HUMANITIES CLASS / TRIPLE SCIENCE CLASS / MATHS N SCIENCE CLASS / BICULTURAL CLASS / LEP CLASS!!!

Gosh.. Time flies so fast.. It's time for us to actually make our own decisions to go to either languages, maths and science or humanities class... Sigh. For people like sua yu, yufeng and zhenghang, they would have a difficult choice to make as they are all eligible for most of the programmes and stuck in between whether to choose which class over another. For other impossible to join the elite class people, some of them actualli indicated that they want to join GEP+ class leh.. Big LOL! As quoted from Jianyi's MSN nick - "JIanyi, Virgo Shaka.d(o'o'o)b I think we should all stop dreaming about the Humanities Class. You know who I'm referring to..."

HOWEVER, for uNcUtE lil' me, I have a different problem. I don't wanna choose any programme! Cos I have ABSOLUTELY no interest in Science n Maths field, Hates Lit. when in GEP+ and detests Chinese literature n history. Gosh.. CHS is giving mi a hard life to choose the more bearable from the worst. Irregardless, I've made my choice. I indicated in the EMB that i ain't interested to join anything. So in the 'reverse-reverse' psychological thingy my fave senior Daniel have said before, the 'special' programmes will be so filled with people that the few ones clever enough to take the normal class will in turn be more 'special' instead!

Anyway, for some reason, Marcus and Kun Won saw the light about Humanities Class thingy when one have to take exams and MRP so they sort of convinced the whole class to NOT join GEP+ or sth.. And during IRS yesterday, I think sua yu's and yufeng's campaign seemed to work or sth.. Only about 4-5 people wanted to sign up for HSSRP and the rest kept quiet.. Lan yingjie and Zhan Sheng actually wanted to join Kool Kids.. Haha, their enthusiasm is so funny.. :P

JAPanese Oral

Sigh.. JAP-O is on this saturday.. I actually havent prepared yet. Gosh, everything is like so fast lor.. Sianz... We have to go through passage reading thingy which I think I can fare quite ok, speech on sec school life which is total crap and conversations.. Woah... That's scary lor.. Cos I will be the first candidate in the 10am shift for the exam. Gosh.. Xia su lin de su... Anyway, after the test, a few of us will go watch Dodgeball! Yay! Sigh.. Stress and hectic schedules = sad khee xuan.. :(

Reflections of my current position in my secondary school life:

1. Maturity and development: This is a huge problem in my life. Real huge and it might and definitely will affect my sociability and 'likeability/popularity". Firstly, I reflected on, which I already know that one of the factors that people make friends wif mi and like me is because I am more sociable and my seemingly 'cute' personality attracts people to be friends with me and therefore making me 'popular' by taking snapshots and sharing them with one another. For my size right now, it's alright to be act cute or attention seeking but people have to grow up don't they? I just cannot be a wilful sissy all the time rite? I mean, yes, its good to be bright and cheerful and stuff, but as time goes on, these things have to stop don't they? And what I can do right now is to attempt to stop being a kid anymore and try to at least be more mature in my thinking and physical development. I ain't going to be called a sissy or bitch anymore, and I won't have any names for people to mock at. I will be just Khee Xuan - bright and friendly like I was in primary school. And I aim to do all this by adjusting my daily routine of weekly exercises to daily exercises : To star jump everyday, crunches everyday and play badminton every week. In addition in the pimple problem of my face, I will eat a fruit every day after dinner to maintain a healthy diet to replenish the vitamins lost for not eating veges. Ensuring physical development of cos is important so that I won't be the short Khee Xuan anymore. I noe that these may sound crappy but I am sure it will work somehow with consistency.

2.Sociability: To help maintain friendships with people, I must have my own policy to follow in school and in the public. My new motto would be, 'Smile more, talk less and restrain from singing.' That certainly will appease alot of classmates esp. yufeng and shengwei and hurwitz and other ta bor frenz that infatuates on these pple... And by smiling more, I can be more optimistic and bright, like wad pple like Mel Wan said to mi that I was more cute when i was sec one and looks depressed this yr. I oso have to work alot more on encouraginr pple then mocking them as by mocking I will get more enemies than friends in a sense so I must definitely work on that.

3. Homework and exams: Exams are drawing here, everyone is so stressed cos term 4 will going to be hell... But I mean, Jap oral this saturday and EOY exam two weeks later, why must I work so hard for? Why must I even study and 'mug' to get good grades? Like wad yufeng and shengwei said, 'the point of studying in sec 2 is to get into sec 3. nothing else matters.' For people like Jianyang, he fulfils all the needs of progressing into the next level. What's the use of getting 1.6MSG if pple will just sae 'GEPer' or 'MUGger' if u have better results? Isit worth it? For one matter, my parents don't realli care, they expect this of mi and said that if this was my best, maintain it. Don't they empathise with my efforts put in at all, the happiest person to know that I had 1.6MSg this term and 3rd in class like always last term is me and only. No one cares, unless any of my blog readers have a crush on me or sth. *WiNkS. But does piaing and mugging matter? I really don't see the need to push myself that hard that soon yet. I am tired, I am so tiredm fustrated and exhausted with all the stress? Why can't I be as stupid as some people and still get to sec 3? Must i go the mugging way? Must I compete wif yong lin and zheng hang and possibly lerong? Why can't I just compete with taiboon, yufeng, sheng wei, sua yu and marcus instead? They aren't stereotyped as GEPers nor nerds, yet they still get quite gd results. There's no need for good results right? Especially if u have no interest in the subject.
Like japanese. i mean, I am going down from A1 enthu student, to a A2 slp in class for 5 mins during lessons student to a B3 never hand up compos student. I have gone down so low that even people from Clementi Town are my competitors alreadi. Why? It's because I have absolutely no more interest in going by 156 bus that takes 30 mins from school to MOELC centre and 30 mins from the centre back home. In fact, it has been such a chore that I have thoughts of quitting it. That will mean 2 things: I wun be able to hang out wif Marcus, Sheng wei and yufeng anymore at J8 and I have to face my mom to approach her about this matter. I subtlely approach her on the car today and she was like persistent for mi to carry on no matter how bad my grades are, but why bother to force if one have no interest? Am i going to be a slacker like how i wasted my p4 and p5 life? Can't I have a say for myself for once? Next year is going to be stresser and there will definitely be more things to quit and stuff and together with the 5 day week, band 4hrs indoor n 2hrs outdoor + VE 2 hrs are going to kill mi in the weekdays. Together wif 3rd lang, I realli do not know how to cope. It's like I feel so lost and have nowhere to go. It's suffering or hell. I have to make a choice. I can't cos I don't have the power to.

4. Friends and trust: Next year will definitely be an overwhelming year, friendships are sure to be weaken. Most likely I will be separated from pple like kun won, marcus, jianyi, taiboon, sua yu and yufeng next year and I am going to miss them. I mean, even though we can still meet online, I am still sad about the fact that we won't be in the same class anymore. I actualli have someway a feeling wif this class ever since humans nite and stuff, this class is actualli the best class I could be in rather than in 2N and 2O for some reason and departure sure will be sad. Once pple like sua yu, jianyi, darrell and taiboon have new friends, they won't really care less about me, like they care alot now, but the most we will go is 'hi' when we meet each other in school and nth else. For Marcus, hopefully we can still keep close contact like we always do in 3rd lang and MSN and I am really happy and fortunate to be quite good friend wif him at this period in time. And for yufeng and shengwei, they are more than happy to be separated from me and my singing. They will forever just find me as a doll and the possibility of quitting Jap will further broaden our friendship gap, if there is actually one right now.
And today, for some reason, I am actually sad that it rained in the morning. I somehow missed the days when I was reluctant to go to the bandrm for flag raising but reminiscencing all the memories in the band rm today, when the sec 4s were still present at that time, Daniel and Alfred playing french horn, Mong and his tenor saxa and threats to burn scores and Haoquan and I niaoing each other during band prac, I mean everything is all imprinted in my mind like paper and ink that I will never forget. All the memories just flood in, esp. the band farewell, when I realised I missed Daniel and the sec 4s so much and they are just like my elder brothers which I longed to have since young and I truly love them like brothers from the botton of my heart. The band camp and everything. But after tmr, the band rm will be demolished and rebuild into a inanimate science lab so I really do treasure these moments. True, i told khaiboon that the band rm was the venue of the memories but not the memories but now I finally could empathise with him. If there was someone I can never forget, it would be the sec 4s and their company together wif sean. It's an everlasting memory... But next, my band frenz and stuff.. Kun Won, supposingly being the SL and QM next yr, will definitely have no time to accompany me and tell lame jokes to mi and stuff and he will have a world of his own once separated into diff. classes and we wun be that close anymore and I will feel very lonely once more. With the departure of terence and khaiboon, things will definitely get worse... And also, my best friend sean and rujun, being major and welfare officer (predicted) expectedly will also have to take care of band affairs and we wun be able to go to coro and have lunch happily and tok and niao each other like we do now.. Everything is going to be different once all my good friends are involved in the band EXco, and I will always be the one extra and things wun go rite for me in band anymore.. Its like the future isnt as bright as it was meant to be.. I realli feel sucky and lost. :(

5 Insensitivity: I noe that I am 'insensitive' to people's feelings most of the time, and people can't trust me as I somehow happen to 'leak' secrets, so I must earn back trusts from people and keep secrets stuck in my mouth. Also, I have absolutely no idea when I ain't censoring this cos I noe who reads this blog but I really do have to voice out an issue about insensitivity. Let me make this issue into a story instead:

There was once 2 boys. One named John and one named Kenny. John and Kenny were good friends since young and John shared his secrets with Kenny because he trusted him. Once, John did not complete his homework and lied to the teacher that he forgot to do it. Everyone in the class knows that John, being a com. addict did not do his homework because he was busy playing computer games and didn't bother to do his homework but all kept quiet. Then, John told Kenny the fact that he chose com. games over homework and being a person with conscience, he told the class monitor, who was also his good friend. The class monitor told the teacher and the teacher scolded John in front of the whole class and embarrased John.
The next day, John ignored Kenny as he thought that Kenny had betrayed him and found him insensitive. Eventually things resolved after a few talks and Kenny and John were good friends again. However, John made use of the incident and kept calling Kenny insensitive and kept insulting him back. There was once before lessons when other 'friends' of Kenny kept making fun of Kenny's missing front tooth. This time, John came and joined the company and poked fun shamelessly at Kenny who was all alone staring at the people he called friends laughing at him. He was vulnerable and was a minority in that situation. He couldn't possibly have stood up and insulted them back or else John would call him insensitive again. But in this scenario, wasnt John insensitive as well? Isnt this yet another case of the pot calling the kettle black? Why for some reason can John insult Kenny but not the other way round? Why should John have the upper hand? Is it even Kenny's fault that his conscience made him 'leaked' the secret, which was already known to the whole class? Why must Kenny succumb to John's thoughts of insensitivity. Does insensitivity equate to people insulting one and not one insulting others? Doesnt this proverb, 'do not to others what you do not want others to do to you?' I mean, why must Kenny be pushed on to the limits where he was the only one standing against the rest and stay 'sensitive' to John? Is this even fair? Put yourself in Kenny's shoes and empathise...

How REAL are reality TV shows?

Is Survivor and Amazing Race even real, as in real? I mean, even though I never fail to miss one episode of it, but it just makes me ponder, if it is reality TV, and even the grammy's award recognise it as real, how isit possible for each series to have so much drama? And if it is not 'real', why would the grammy's nominate them as "Best Reality TV Show"?

Anyway, I realli wonder. But anyhow, these 'reality' TV do entertain my wednesdays and friday nights together wif charmed and s'pore idol to keep my TV time occupied! This is a crappy post so DO give crappy comments abt it.

Khee Xuan's Results for the Splurging Quiz (and Analysis on how you spend your money!)

PART I - POVERTY/RICH LEVEL

1. B
2. A
3. Internet Broadband Connection
4. A
5. C

POVERTY/RICH LEVEL = 5 POINTS

SPLURGING LEVEL

1. B
2. B
3. C
4. A
5. B

SPLURGING LEVEL = 17 POINTS

S VALUE = 5/7
= 0.29

ANALYSIS OF SPLURGING VALUES:

If your splurging value varies from 0.2 to 0.5, you are at a dangerous level of splurging and often find yourself to either borrow money or get more money from your parents. You are totally overspending more than what you have in your wallet. A warning to all pockets - don't keep them burning the hole in yours. :P

S Values from 0.5 - 1 are considered as the average level. You are spending at a moderately acceptable rate and splurging reasonably but watch out and DO NOT fall into the first category of oversplurging. A tip will be to make a point to save some money in your piggy bank/ saving box/ 18 digit combination safe to have enough for rainy days.

People with values from 1.1 - 2, you should learn to relax a little by watching more movies or have more junk food. Preven yourself from having no life and save reasonably and splurge at times too. Attain a balance in both. So now take my advice, take $10 from your saving box and go to the nearest mini-mart and purchase as many chocolate bars as possible and have a good time eating them. Splurge when you need to. And get a more normal life.

If you have 2.1 - 5 for the S Values, my only advice for you is to get a life. Really. Serious. Ain't joking. Who in the freaking world gets so much pocket money and keeps 90% of it in his/her 18 digit combination safe? I mean, which person is rich enough NOT to eat in fast food restaurants or go to the movies? My only advice for you is to enjoy your life to the fullest and imagine everyday as the last day of your life and don't think twice when purchasing stuff. You will find that splurging is fun! Get a life!

Yet another fun and enjoyable day...

Went for sectionals until 12 then went for lunch at Prince wif Sean, Khaiboon, Terence, JJ, ernest, Jiawei, Rujun, Kianhong and Kiameng. Then, we rushed off to the woodlands Sports Hall to plae badminton from 2 to 4. It was fun la and I classified the different players as follow:

The Qiang Zhe(s):

1. Khaiboon - Haven't played wif him yet but his smashes are qiang! He won Rujun lor... :P
2. Rujun - Dunno where he got his training from... Mebbe China? :P Anyway, his smashes and agility is not bad too. Match history - 7:3
3. JJ - Small and agile, this boi is very good in badminton as well just like his basketball skills. Match history - 7:4

The Average Ones:

1. Sean - Even though he beat me by a margin but his smashes weren't fantastics so hafta put him in the average ones category. Match history - 8:6
2. Ernest - Haven't played wif him yet but shld be quite qiang oso.
3. Kia Meng - His lazy lobbing skills for the opponents to rush to the net to catch his deadly low lobbing shots puts him into this category. Match History - 3:5 (Game interrupted by Uncle cos the court booking time was up.)
4. Jia Wei - Normal and average. No comments. Match history - 2:7

The Novice ones:
1. Terence - Improved alot since the first time he touched the racket. Still needs improvement in serving and receiving. Match history - 5:7
2. Kian Hong - Haven played wif him yet. From observations, he might be worse than Terence.

Then we went to Causeway Point and played the arcade games and drank bubble tea and took the MRT home wif sean, rujun, terence and Sean. It was an enjoyable ride and then I went home, had dinner and walked around the pasar malam going on before plaeing and dloading stuff....

Just finished watching Alien VS Predator (AVP) at Toa Payoh. It was generally an okay show, a 6/10 show at most. The effects were there, the scare-factor wasn't, the storyline was a kaboom. So if any of you guys haf anything to say abt this movie as well, give comments abt it or wadeva...

Anyway, mi just being stupid to give a rating for all the movies I remembered watching this year:

Mean Girls - 9/10 (Nice storyline and script that sets me laffing!)

13 going on 30 - 7/10 (Generally fairy tale like. Ok storyline and everything.)

I, Robot - 8.5/10 (Nice effects and quite ok projection of the future. Shows how technology can be potentially dangerous and overthrows the human race.)

Day After Tomorrow - 8/10 (Very nice effects. That's all. Storyline is very queer and fictional.)

Harry Potter 3 - 7.5/10 (The standards have been dropping from very good to bad. I'd rather just read the book and forget abt the movie next season.)

Yep, that shld be all I watched this yr. Pathetic list right? Sigh... I haf no life wad... :P

5th Sept 2004: SPH Family Day!

Went to Sentosa Siloso Beach 2dae with my cousins. It was rather late cos the actual events and registration starts at 9.30am. But we went there at 11.30am so we sort of missed out a lot of 'fun' activities.

So after all the admission and stuff, we went for lunch wif tasted sucky. Real sucky. We had pathetic mee siam, cold satay and hot dog bread as hard as rocks, the cheese on the hot dog was like, undescribably unappetising. So after stuffing down the 'buffet' lunch, we went to redeem the freebies - red bean ice cream, easily melted candy floss and soft pop corn. We realli hafta understand why they have to compromise their quality of food due to the accomodation of so many pple there.

After that, I played soccer wif my cousins and we had cuts and bruises on our feet cos we played without our shoes. So after we got bored of it, we formed ourselves into 2 grps and played the 'Olympics Beach Volleyball Man Finals' and my group won the "GOLD MEDAL" after drawing 2 games and winning the deciding game 6-8.

And when my older cousins went to play soccer, I had to accompany my younger cousin which is already a sec 1 student, TO DIG SAND! And obviously, I dug up the deepest hole possible and his hole beside mine was definitely inferior. Nevertheless, we decided to dig ferociously on opposite sides to create a link thru our holes. Then we poured water in and my hole being the lower hole, filtered out all the salt bubbles in the sea water. And for some reason, we began standing on the sand structure which was the linkage to the holes and stomp on it and it broke and we cleared the mess by putting all our used paper cups into the holes and asked the younger cousin to treasure hunt them in 2mins.

Anyway, right after that, we went to sunset bay to try our luck in renting kayaks cos we were so enthu abt it. Then the i/c said tt we had to wait for 1.5hrs before we can rent the kayaks. So its goodbye Sentosa and Welcome back to home at Serangoon Nth.

We played 'Olympics Badminton Men's Singles Semi-Finals' and I in total, won 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 1 Bronze 'medals' in the games. It's lame and windy, so it just dampens our spirits. : (

After playing Lf2 until 9.30, they went home and I began chatting wif Khaiboon and other seniors until 10-11 sth then went to watch GA2 until 12 before going to slp.

This was when I had an argument wif my father cos he was toking abt how bad my English was and he wanted to put me into British Council for tuition like I did in P6. Then I said tt I have no time and he said that how then would he be able to help in improving my English. Then I said that I will learn independently and that I was already improving my comprehension skills already, but he keeps harping on how my English has dropped from 72 to 67 to 64 this term and blah blah. Then i got fed up and asked him why must he harp on all my weaknesses all the time, comparing how bad my skin was with pple like my cousins which for some reason have better skin than me, my height as compared with my cousins when he isnt tt tall himself, when he noes that it is almost impossible to work everything out overnight and he just keeps harping on it. The worst thing is I don't feel any sense of achievement for everything that I've accomplishment ever cos when I got 3rd in class, my parents were like "good. It's normal right?" or when I was saying how relieved and how emotional I was after the IH nite cos we achieved so much, they only said, "What's there to cry about? It's nothing significant anyway." I mean sometimes they really don't understand me despite our close relationship and I really do wonder why must I work so hard to get good results. Why can't I just get a MSG of 3.6 and let them say the same things as well? Sigh.. I really wonder why... :(

Today:

1. Results Update!
2. Band Organisation
3.Bilingualism

1.Results Update!

Sigh... The time has come again.. The lsat day of school term as young and kiasu children are eager to get their term reports which consitutes 3.33% of their final score.

Anyway, I ain't sure I am happy wif my results anot... Even though I had 1.633 for MSG. Even though I was the 3rd in class... But this has spurred me to do better and be more kiasu to ask for marks from teachers.

I finally experienced the pain of 'So near yet so far' as this scenario happened:

English Language - 64.23 B3
Integrated Humanities - 74.44 A2

I mean, I just need like 0.3mark to get a grade above and it's like so close for 2 subjects. Sigh... Nevertheless, its fate I guess. I mean, I am very lucky to get A1 for maths and science, which are the common papers that screwed up everyone's MSG. Except the top 4 in class la... But English was the main screw up cos the highest, presumably Kuang Li, was the only 75mark A1 in class.... Oh it was sad, but I vow to work harder to get better grades to break my 1.5 MSG and below barrier.

If yufeng, taiboon and sheng wei did it, why can't I right? My motto for this year: "I must get less than 1.6 MSG and squeeze into 3 strong!"

2. Band Organisation:

Today the sec 3 were out for some army camp thingy, so Khaiboon our respected DM, appointed the favourites Nicholas and Sean to be leaders for today's practice. Woah, as claimed by Khaiboon - "This appointment of leaders dusen mean anything." Rite.

Anyway, today's band practice was quite okay, despite my reluctance to turn up all the time, I managed to survive it, with Kun won beside telling mi lame stuff and entertain mi... :D

So after Mr. Lim dismissed us thanks to nicholas 'informing' him about the Ortus nite, we were let off earlier by 15mins i think. Then Sean, after being pulled to the front by lotsa pple due to his popularity, squatted us and everyone was like laffing and stuff...

But basically, he took attendance then dismissed us. It was basically alrite lar.. But didnt Khaiboon realised the psychological effects that will go into diff. people in this appointment of 'leaders'? I mean, some DM wanna-bes will either be jealous or either attitude or wadeva... But I think everything will come into the voting next year, the physique of the person and the interviews of the selected candidates.

In my opinion, if I were to look by physique, Sean will definitely win most of the sec 2s cos he got the looks and friendly, charismatic smile to 'dian' the ny gals and stuff... His height is also an advantage oso... If I were to look by support, Sean will oso win cos he is so damn popular, as in people will choose for him to be an exco member even if he dusen intend to be one. Lastly, if I were to judge by ability to discipline the band, Melvin and nicholas will win cos they are more stern and disciplined as compared to the image Sean gives. Sean have a possibility to be the next Khaiboon, that is friendly and likeable to everyone. However, things might have a turn since the outdoor aspect of a DM is more important now due to our involvement in teh SYF outdr 2006... Fate decides everything I guess and I have minimal say in this. Good luck to ya... My motto for band: "I wanna be just an ordinary member, under my fave SL Kun Won and mebbe Sean for any major post. I might wanna be a secretary but that will only happen if the job post is actually opened up. Sigh... Being an ordinary member is still much better."

3. Bilingualism

Today, just before Chinese lesson, YangWZ asked me, yufeng, sua, yonglin and zhenghang to go see Mr. Tan Deputy Principal about the Bilingual Elite class programme thingy that he recommended us to join. Turned out that it was just another simple calligraphy, mountain-water art appreciation class thingu to raise our awareness of the ever-lasting, important yet outstanding Cheena culture. Boring.. I mean, I was lyk bored even for the chinese history presentation and now this. Also, my english is like shit lor. The only person that I know of in class that is good both in Chinese and English is probably Sua yu. Or perhaps yufeng. Yong lin and Zhenghang just can't make the mark. Anyway, we were told tt the Channel U pple will interview 2 of us at 1.30pm and he only wanted Singaporeans. This shoes he discrmination against the PRCs... But it cant be helped rite? Some of the PRCs are indeed like animals - chimpanzees and stuff...

So, 1.30pm and we were brought to the conference and sat there and tok crap and waited until the pple came. But they never did and Sua and I so much wanted to go back class and receive our term reports... Nevertheless, i wanted to be a good boy so I made sua stayed wif mi as well. Honestly, if sua and yufeng weren't in this thing wif mi, and I was stuck wif yonglin and zhenghang, I would have just left them there and go back to class liao... Haha.. So 2.15 and they werent here still so the 5 reps from 2M including yonglin and zhenghang snooped off for lunch and Ep3... Who noes wat happened in the end...

But I realli dun tink there is a need to have this bilingual programme and it is virtually impossible to train 200 pupils from the school to be good in both languages, it is beyond any one's capailities to do so and it aint' possible. But since the govt wanted it, MOE will just hafta follow and our school, being the only school in Singapore that starts wif 'THE' and being internationally well known as the bilingual school, we were 'fortunate' the have the opportunity to train these 200 students, together wif Dunman High. Anyway, I dun tink I will be interested in this programme and be termed as the "gepers of the gepers of the gepers' cos this class is presumably more elite than the GEP+ a.k.a Humans class so I shant even consider at all cos I noe my limits. It dusen exist. Rite.

Continued about the frenz part.....

6. KUNWON!!!!: Thank God so much to bless me wif such a friend... Kun Won is like so coincidentally in the same class as I am in, in the same EP3 Band and once-was-VE, and oso in the same section as mi - Eupho section and Alto section!!! Gosh, he is like my soul mate or sth... His interest in music is definitely overwhelming and Kun Won has such a great personality that everyone just loves him like hell!!! I mean he's like so eccentric and funny and his jokes are real stupid but pple still adore him.... His eupho playing is qiang zhe except for his tone la.. But he is like twice more qiang than me in the playing, rhythm, theory, pitching, breath support. It's a pleasure to noe him and other frenz I've mentioned and oh it will be sad if 2M was dispersed.... Nevertheless, I really treat Kun Won as my bestest friends in school and he oso lights me up every single morning.. Or most mornings... I tink.

7. Jian Yang - The MOST INTELLIGENT AND MATURED person I've ever met in my life. His English and Lit. is like qiang zhe and I truly believe that he is gifted in studies if he would just put in a lil bit of effort but as he finds the education system of no use,which he convinced me to believe tt too, he just slacks and work hard when he needs to. Jian Yang, if you r reading this, I truly admire you for your knowledge. Oh, he's oso good in sports as well - his basketball rocks big time... And he changed my perspective alot. From sec one, I hated him cos he always uses intelligent sarcasm at me to niao mi. But now, even though he still criticises me and threatens to kill and strangle my bones, I am grateful for everything he taught me such as vocabulary, way of thinking and stuff... He's like a good teacher but only of the same age.... Everyone oso likes him in the class so u noe how intelligent and admirable he is... :p... Jian yang, copy all these egocentric description about u and post in on ur blog and laff at me for all I care... You just rock lor... You are everything else other than the grades in our report book! Kudos to u!

That's all about the classmates part... I Might tok abt band mates next time. So read on IF you are interested... Cya!

Week of pondering...

1. Air Rifling

2. Stupidity of 13 going on 30 movie...

3. New insights of frenz...

1. Air rifling is so fun! I mean putting a lead bullet and corking a rifle is so totally fetch! It's like u use ur left hand supported by the hip and carry the 5kg gun and u see the black thingy and u just trigger the trigger! So simple lor... And it's amusing... Cos i accidentally pulled the trigger after loading the lead pellet and it shot the ground, rebounded to the metal surface at the end of the block and ricocheted back to my sec 1 iSpark junior's arm! Oops... Didnt mean to, but I sure was made out to be the most dangerous shooter in that range though... Everyone shld try air rifling cos it's so fun! I enjoyed my 2.5 hrs there having 4 tries of 5 bullets each, trying to aim for an unseeable target... Coolness...

2. Stupidity of movie and the wish dust thingy that made the dream came true.. Haha.. When we were watching the movie, junior Matt the main actor kept taking photos of 13-yr old Jennifer Garner.. This was when Jeffrey just turned to me and said 'Haha, it also happens in school. everyone taking shots of an ugly person.' Erm.. The proverb Jeremy calling ting wei black arises... No offence... Then, when there was backstabbing involved, Jeffrey would then say, "she's a bitch." for thousand of times cos he is so-called shizophrenic (how do u spell that)... Gosh... I mean, wats wrong wif backstabbing? Who hasn't backstabbed anyone ever in their lives to survive? Bitchy business is like so totally, normal?
Then when he and Sua yu were talking about bitches, sua yu suddenly splurted out, "You're a bitch!" Haha... and I just laffed for no reason. mebbe i was too bored wif life to bother abt any thing interesting... Teacher's day eve basically sucks cos jianyi and taiboon r sick, and shengwei and yufeng won't watch this kind of bimbotic movie and Marcus is off for piano exam, which he apparently screwed up or sth... Sigh.. I'd rather go watch Bourne Supremacy wif my rosyth frenz such as Salima, Binggy, Wenjun, Aaron and Siti! Habibah Bte Mohamed Mohckeram Bin Kassim Bin Mamohd Bin Jafaar!!! Haha! I just missed Siti so much!! Hey sister! I wanna watch ' A cinderella story'!!! Taiboon or wadeva, plz watch wif mi!!!! I am so despo and sianz abt life... Everything is just like this post... - Crappy ex-creta!

3. New insights of frenz:

1. Jianyi - He's still a great guy I supposed, except that he seems to be preoccupied wif sth that's for me to noe and for you to find out... He's sick and had fever for like since monday...
But sigh, Jianyi is a poor boy I must say but he's a very good friend. Mebbe he's too nice - "Jianyi's a nice boy" quoted from Lerong. Truly good friend, at least I didnt regret making frenz wif him... I mean, we shared a lot of experience together - the chalet wif onli me, taiboon, shengwei, tingwei and him, IH nite, even normal outings and everything. I am really happy to noe him as a trustworthy, sincere and good friend. Ho-hum. Mebbe he has to work on his absent-mindedness, sociability and erm... wadeva...

2. Sheng Wei - Didnt realli have a good impression after the camp cos he sucked so much when he's tired and attitude together... But after the outing on monday, he's still quite ok la... Bochup and so... But at least he's one of the more matured frenz I have so it's understandable that why he still likes to touch my hair and so but truthfully, his personality rubs me at the wrong side sometimes but he's still ok la.. He's just attitude towards sua yu and ah zek for some reason... Wadeva... can't be bothered...

3. Marcus - My 'kai xin guo' for these weeks - cos he veri cute and farni!! Esp. during sundays when I am alone at home, we will always tok via MSN and he oso will cheer me up by sending mi nice nice songs and telling mi funny stuff... I mean, marcus have a different kind of cute as compared to kawaii or yufeng tt kind of cute - its like both liddat: mixed essence or sth.. Mebbe it's his braces or wadeva then he speaks funnily (if there's such a word) but nevertheless, he is another friend tt i havent regretted making. Yet. Now I oso noe that he is actually very talented - as in his theory for music is like woah and his sportingship is like woah woah and his results (esp. lit = 23/25) woah woah woah... So he like very all rounder liddat... Qiang Zhe!!! :D

4. Sua Yu - Sua Yu is probably the funniest and lamest guy I've ever met in my life. His lameness surpassed ah zek's and ah ma's to a level that he can just like intantly make me laff despite the lameness of the joke... Nevertheless, he is like qiang zhe lor, everything oso get gd grades and leads in everything oso... An important friend but sigh everything there's a limit la... I mean, yep we hang out and stuff but mebbe we are just good friends and i am sure its mutual feelings rite? Nevertheless, he always brightens up my life or can depress me like siao when he attitudes me or sth... Very extreme but its good to noe him since sec one.

5. Yufeng - Haha, probably the most unfeeling guy I've ever met in my life... The guy with the most attitude for his modest size.. But through these months, I find him quite erm.. weird in a sense as in yep, he's serious yet he is like playful in his heart or sth.. Nevertheless, this puny little boi, 3 cm taller than mi all the time, have alot of attraction to pple of all ages, sizes, genders and wadeva - in this case i shall call him a 'boy magnet'... Scary eh... He's quite a good chatter oso, and he's most of the time there when I need to consult him. He's highly intelligent lor... All-rounder liddat, one of the more cleverer person w/o the studious knowledge... Always niao mi for being stupid and stuff but he's rather likeable like most of my frenz above and veri cute cos his dimple is like so damn obvious lor.. He is one of the two MOST MATURED frenz i have other than Jianyang which i will tok more abt him in the future... Nevertheless, the frenz i mentioned above will be those that I will treasure alot wif some I havent have th time to blog abt yet cos I am rushing to watch S'pore idol!
