Heres the daily update...
I know i haven't updated for quite a while but i've kept busy for a while.
Friday- Had tuition with Pearlyn in the afternoon till about 3. Had lunch as well. Talked with Tien as we waited for Pearlyn to board the bus. After that we took the bus home. Spent most of the evening relaxing. Did some of my work for the week too.
Saturday- Played in the morning but in the afternoon went to church and later had a slight lunch and went home again to go out for grandma's birthday. Managed to get a box of ice cream from Uncle Kia. Went home played abit more and slept.
Now today....
So far nothing much either. I finially acheived first lieutenant. wee.... while i was playing bro played some songs he downloaded. One being from Anastasia the cartoon. It got me going for a while and went to do some research work.. Anastasia as i have learnt in history was murdered by the Bolsheveiks and did not survive. So it is mostly false. But while reading through a photograph of the Royal Family of Russia came up, Alexander, Anastasia and the rest of Nicolas's and Alexdra's children were shown. Such a family of peacefulness were murdered by their enemies. Anastasia and their sisters had the looks that they were to become very beautiful women had they survived. Such pity. Damn the Bolsheveiks for doing things like this. But if Russia had not revolted what would have become of the Future of today?
I'm going to finish up the rest of my work.

Friday, January 28, 2005Ok today's update..actually yesterday's..
During E maths period Magnum appeared at the front of class where BQ is supposed to be sitting. When my Mechanical Pencil failed on me i borrowed one from Zhe Xuan and while i wrote my maths down...Magnum and Zhe Xuan were trying to RESUSCITATE my "DEAD" pencil. Zhe Xuan kept using lead to clear the chamber but kept breaking the lead instead.
The surgeon that lost his tools in his patient lol...later the patient regurgitated his tools back out anyway. In pieces...
Hui Han had a good laugh at it and they managed to save my pencil.Thanks guys.
Later was band practice. Self practice spent about 2 hours playing with Fhaizmel and Wisdom. I only knew quite recently that BC can actually sound like an Alto Saxophone if you played on the higher octave. Kinda odd i thought as from something so LOW to something that high...
At around 4.30pm there were very few people left. Jaryl had apparently dug out a Eb alto clarinet we never knew we had and even Mr Ivan was astonished to see it. Kai Li, Yao Zhun, Fhaizmel , Hali and I took some time to clear the instrument room. More credit to Kai Li. After we finished we left with the leaders, Khoo Boon and Mr Ivan. Was talking to FY about how heavy the BC can get after awhile and she took it for a while to test the weight of it...in about 20 seconds or maybe abit longer she was already complaining that it was darn heavy lol...don't worry its normal i also thought it was heavy at first. Actually theres some good in it. Thanks to carrying the BC the skin on my hands have hardened and that means i can do pull ups without too much pain.
Spent most of the Evening playing Rome...got cornered to Rome and fought back out again..damn the cavalry is good.
Alrite gotta stop now.

Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend.
C'mon you little fighter

Oh no, my love's at an end.
Oh no, it's raining again
Too bad I'm losing a friend

Alrite heres the goings...Today not much of a fabulous day. Helped Gyver in his QUEST to join band and he's nearly there and Mrs Seah is pleased with the extra recruits. We only have 15 Sec 1's this year and Gyver, Wisdom and Gyver's friend. Today was sectionals i was told to do my sectionals with Baritone because of the simular scores , now i understand why Gyver likes her so much. She has very good qualities at heart and nobody would know that by looking at the face alone.
For me i'll have to wait for my day....just can't open my damn mouth.
BF 2 got postponed so thats a bummer.....

Tuesday, January 25, 2005Peace
THE WAR HAS ENDED AND PEACE HAS BEEN DECLARED!
Alright so the Cold War of words is over and i look to a more revolutionized Mr Tien Yeh.
Well detention duty was not really fun...had no one really much to speak with except Yi en, Yan Ling and a guy from 3t1 but once they left it was a pain to stay there. The only other guy worth talking to with the Indian fellow who was there because of his goatee. Mr Teo came out and dished out his punishments at a few of the detainees which amounted to canings...
The prefect meeting...hmm the presentation.. I have no idea what came over me. It just pops right into my head and i can say what i need to say and plenty more. I'm possibly just talented in spontaneous speaking.
I finially convinced that if he likes her SO much then he should join band and at the same time take it seriously. Just to let out a sneak who it is...its a saxophonist...GASP.. I wonder who it might be...
He is gonna speak with Mdm Faizah tommorow. He's dragging someone else with him too.
Hope he gets in. We DESPERATELY need more guys in the band.
Alrite won't say anymore CHEERS!
1/25/2005 10:50:00 pm
Monday, January 24, 2005Alrite i've cooled off ... i'm gonna report the daily events.
Today was told that bio test is tommorow and we received our BIO TYS and it reduced by $1.
Band was ok...Persis was sorta jerky... Singapore Rhapysody was ok..only one problem area...LONGFORD wee no problems at all lol.
Hafiz and Xue Ye's birthday wished them all a good one.
I'm still abit angry but i know i was abit too rash. The problem of getting angry.
1/24/2005 09:57:00 pm
Bloody hell i'm damn pissed now. Who ever reads this you are about to see a anger ventment.
That Tien Yeh is so damn irritating he keeps FORCEFULLY asking me what questions I don't know and telling me in the end that he dosen't know the answer and that he complains he has no homework and all that rubbish. Its not true EVEN SYAHMI CAN TELL ME THE DAMN STORY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. TIEN YEH IMPROVE YOUR FRICKIN ATTIDUDE , THE REASON WHY I SCOLDED YOU IS BECAUSE I CARE FOR YOU AND THAT YOU MUST IMPROVE, ALRITE I"M WRONG TO HAVE SHOUTED INFRONT OF ZHE XUAN AND HUI HAN BUT AT LEAST GET THE FACT RIGHT EVERYTIME WE SPOKE TO YOU FOR OVER TWO YEARS YOU NEVER HEEDED A SINGLE DAMN BIT OF OUR ADVICE NOW I SCOLDED YOU INFRONT OF TWO PEOPLE YOU KNOW AND YOU MAKE A DAMN FUSS OF IT AND YOU TELL YOUR MUM TO SCREW ME OVER YES YES I KNOW WHAT EVER YOU WANT HER TO REASON WITH ME BUT YES I KNOW YOU ARE DELICATE AND FRAGILE OR WHAT EVER BUT UNDERSTAND ME CLEARLY I KNOW ABOUT YOUR LIES AND FIBS I COULD EASILY TELL YOUR MOTHER ALL THAT I KNOW ALREADY SO GET IT STRAIGHT YOUR ATTITUDE STINKS LIKE THE LOWEST PIECE OF CRAP ON THE FLOOR.

Friday, January 21, 2005Alright..Its been awhile since i updated and here's the update of life.
Thursday was good and bad in its ways. For one i now know the mistakes i made for so long and never rectified and now i've seen it i work to rectify it right away. I was taken for training by Mr Ivan on Thursday instead of drills , while i was with him i learnt my mistakes that i have made for over 2 years of my "Career" in band. For one i now know that my basics have become rubbish, were made of rubbish or always was rubbish as for the simplicity of things i can't do. In this way i feel that with my transfer comes both better quality and better playing. If i had never known that the way i practiced was wrong i would never be able to get better but instead jumping into the fray without being able to pull out once i am inside of it. Now i'm here i have only a few weeks to get to the same standard of familiarity to the scores before the big stuff jumps at me. Same goes to re-learning my basics , maybe not all however. So in this way i feel that this transfer was necessary for myself and for the band in its progress towards the SYF.
For the persons that feel most greviated at my transfer, fear not as i have no anger or hate towards anyone , so don't feel guilty think ahead and remember that its the best option for the band and myself. I am also glad it was'nt anyone else , not being selfish to the postition or anything but its where i need to be for now and i have no regrets. No regrets.
As the men of 101st , 506 PIR , E Company once said : We Stand Alone, Together!

Monday, January 17, 2005Today was so so....got very little homework which i finished already. I also got transfered from Bb clarinet to Bass Clarinet. No problems just that i need to familiarize with the scores. I have really nothing much to report actually. Apart from the fact that mdm kavitha did'nt come and we got a slacky english lesson. PE lesson kept us quite active. No 2.4km run though...phew. If i did run today i'd be on the bed sleeping already. Ciaos i'm off...going to play source with Gyver....and where am i gonna put the bass clarinet when its at home?
1/17/2005 07:51:00 pm
Saturday, January 15, 2005Been very busy the past few days and did'nt get a chance to use the computer to play till friday because of the over dosage of work. I'm still short on the history essay i owe Ms Tan regarding why the provisional government in russia fell. Yesterday was pretty ok...morning had bio lesson and was told to prepare for a test on week 4 and $10.50 for TYS BIO. After that was Social Studies and Zi Wei had apparently changed seats unwillingly because his seat got taken and he sat next to me. Throughout the whole SS lesson he was vandalising his book and talking like a radio and Zhe Xuan and Magnum kept telling me to pull the "radio's" plug. Then was ME period, we saw the bio teacher again as she teaches us ME as well. It was slacking period and i finished my work and talked to magnum about halo 2. Pretty intresting story line if you ask me.
After that went for Chinese tution with tien yeh from Pearlyn, shes a great teacher and i want to promise myself not to let her down as i can see she really wants me to pass my chinese i myself hope i can acheive that. While i was having tution Eoin stopped by and acted the pest and started pestering me and Pearlyn...then later he left Ms Goh and a few Chinese teachers walked by and she saw us and asked us what we were doing and saw the chinese books on the table and she said "Wah...Chinese!" and walked off, apparently i can tell she's suprised at my effort to learn again. Then Eoin, Avinash and Gerald came to pester us. Eoin asked me in chinese if i liked my tution teacher...he kept asking me to say yes...i'm not that dumb...so i said no. If i liked Pearlyn it would be as a friend, tutor and "sister". She treats everyone so well it was like you were one of her siblings and her morals are totally perfect. Continuing onward we added more words to the "dictionary" i and tien yeh have been writing during MT class to improve my vocab. Apparently, i'm just like dad again, can speak(although terribly lousy) , can listen and understand( same as before) but not know how to write. Pathetic yah?
After we finished Pearlyn and I wrote our English Journals and then together with Tien left the school compound , we waited for the bus with her and then later i walked home with Tien who treated me to a big gulp, i was that thirsty, he came over later on to play Half Life 2 , and I as the mighty Spanish lord in Rise of Nations , i conquered the New World...hehe.
The CCA selection fair was not as good as i hoped it would be the Sec 1s are so shy and afraid to approach the booths but the guys are not as bad as the girls who are really too scared of us.
I feel that Choir and Band should stop competing and start working together. We're all musically educated in the CCA's so i feel that instead of fighting for Juniors we gotta learn to sort the people who want to sing and the people who want to play an instrument and be like Kenny Rogers or something. During fall out time the most bizzarre thing happened...J blew up at S because of a small thing like who was the duty spec and J threw off his ranks and left. S was very angry with him. I hope things patch up quick i had always thought our leadership was very stable. After band i had went to the shop with Lukman and Fhaizmel where i talked to them regarding this and explaining Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. In my view i feel that J is just an unorthodox leader who is different from the rest and that he should not be criticized for it. If any of the leaders read this this is my point of view although i'm in no position to say anything.
For today till now was slacking. We had "Lazy Joes" for breakfast they were named that because its a derived form of the Sloppy Joes but only we had'nt cut the meat into smaller pieces but as one big chunk. Tien was with me the whole of the morning but playing HL 2 as usual. He left later on because he needed to see the doctor and bro's choir friends came by to practice. I slacked infront of this THING doing nothing but playing Rise of Nations for the whole time till now. Later on i'm gonna finish my History Essay , Maths WS and read my Chinese Vocab book and perhaps study for that E maths test next week. I gotta go for Cat Class at 4 so i guess i'll end here.

Wednesday, January 12, 2005Daily Report: This day SUCKS. The only thing good about it was band practice. And to imagine, last night i spoke to bro about how i would ever be able to lead the section for things like sectionals and i got my chance today to test myself. Coincidence? or a work of god? I don't know but its quite freaky if you think about it.
During English lesson Madam Kavitha was talking about evolution of human beings that human beings are evolving for the worse of it. Understand how we evolved from apes?
Seen how big and strong they are and how hairy they are?
Compare to a human. They have strong teeth we have small weak teeth ment for cooked food. Heres Madam Kavitha's explaination.
In the early times apes ate coconuts and wore no clothes and therefore needed big teeth and fur/hair to keep them warm. Their muscular arms also provided protection for them against nature. Eventually the first humans came about and we were just like apes, but when we discovered fire..we cooked our food to soften it so the need for big teeth was no longer needed and the function disappeared in later generations. Then as humans developed clothes and simple weapons like clubs the need for muscles and hair decreased and these functions disappeared too to the point of minimal need. Then compare then and now. Back when people only had pagers and when they were paged they looked for the nearest pay phone, now no one holds a pager instead a handphone which stores numbers which you never need to remember. The brain ceases to need to remember numbers like that and the brain stops thinking of the most common places for a pay phone to be. Like the old times where type writers and ink were used. Work was filed in stacks and stacks of files. Now everything is done and saved on a diskette, cd or flash drive.
Apparently are humans heading for evolution beyond their own good? By the looks of it personally i feel that the human race is too dependant on our fancy gadgets what happens when those gadgets disappear? What of the mighty human race?
But heres another thought. You can evolve and adapt but can you adapt and de-evolve?
Put a couple in the same environment as the early humans. Is it possible that generation after generation the couple's offspring and their offspring's offspring would eventually turn out to be apes again? curious aint it?

Tuesday, January 11, 2005Today after school went for lunch with candel and su qi at J8 food court. When we got off the bus we were asked for donations and just at that moment .... Sin Ne and Sopheary walked past without having to donate a cent....argh..$1.50 very ex leh...
Afterwards we went up and met candel. While we ordered our food and ate...we saw Siew Huay and 2 of her friends. They were there to look for cd's. While we ate... Sin Ne and Sopheary walked past again....and stood over us this time. Very intimidating having someone as tall as sin ne standing over you as you try to eat lunch.
Afterwards we walked around abit, went to the comic shop and and looked comics and later went to look at a few bracelets. We talked crap for quite a while before heading back to the station and taking our buses home. I met Tien and Ridwan on the bus. We talked abit and later got off. Met Yong Kang downstairs and let him use the PC for a while. After he left i asked my bro's chinese tutor to help me with my CL B homework..Apparently she was astonished that i had bothered to ask at all.
I spent the whole day doing my work and i'm still in school uniform. Now chatting on msn with Pearlyn, tammy and candel. blog again tommorow ..

Monday, January 10, 2005Today
Well...nothing really much intresting happened today. We finially had our first lesson of biology with Mrs Loh and today at band practice we had alot of sight reading pieces. Boy o boy...i can't do nuts for merry widow and postcard. But i'll gladly take the challange . After band i rushed home to get my clubs to have a game of golf with Sylvia. We spend alot of time talking more then hitting the golf balls. I was doing constant 50 and above with my iron. Not bad for a 10.
After coming home i did the remainder of my work and played abit of BF 1942 on pagn. Iwo Jima...2nd place SILVER! No effort either lol.
Well i'll be going off.
1/10/2005 10:32:00 pm
Sunday, January 09, 2005Evening time....Well its sunday evening and tommorow's monday. This week of torture was bad enough i wonder what the next week holds. I expect more homework and more tired days. I'll be ready this time...Coffee will keep me awake.
I'll be going to Swensen's for dinner with mum soon. Yes yes i know some of you think i'm soundin abit too rich...don't think about asking me for a treat...i'm financially poor ...*rolls eyes*
Well works been finished so i can pretty much enjoy the rest of today. I got nothing more to add. Ciao , i'll be going off for some games.
1/09/2005 06:08:00 pm
You're asking me?
Well if anyone asks me what in the blue heavens i'm doing awake now, i can say i don't know at all.
Let me summarise the 1st week of sec 3.
Its damn tiring and it feels that everytime you get homework it feels like 2 weeks of sec 2 work.
Its tiring like hell, there was not one day i got back from school without feeling like i've been working for 5 days straight.
Friday night's duty was ok...i had to help FY look for her mother who was supposed to be waiting at the school carpark with Lay Hong because she left before her mother came. Apart from that it was pretty ok. Lots of good food. I went exploring with Edison for a while. He's a great pal. Sylvia asked me to go play golf on monday but i've got band so...i wonder what day i can tell her we can go play golf, get nash too. I bet his skill on the range has weakened so i think its about time for 3 of us to go get the swinging of the clubs back in our arms.
On friday the time up to till the meeting at 4.45 was done like this. I stayed in school for the Media Manager course for 1 hour which i did'nt listen because i've gone through the Media Manager job for 2 years and this is my 2nd re-election which brings my total service to 3 years.
I did my A Maths homework all through the course and then later went to cabin and finished up there, a few of the St John Girls came by and sat down and chatted abit while they waited for their juniors. While doing away with my work i observed the BB boys at their drills. Damn strict by the looks of it. Good job, Paul..
Afterwards the St Johns were doing some course and the 3 girls that sat down to talk to me while they waited were the pretend "patients" who were supposed to be mentally crazy due to inflicted injuries. It was quite intresting watching the St John boys and girls chase them and try to "subdue" them. After which i went up to the Pref's room to deposit my bag and then borrowed a dollar from Poh Soo for lunch thanks Poh Soo. Chatted with Mrs Tan, Eoin, Poh Soo, Sarayanah and Bei Ying while eating. Afterwards i joined the band members who were upstairs doing the new banner. I sat there and waited while talking to Rahmat. I can say that banner looks great.
I then proceeded to look for a copy of my time table ,which i remembered while sitting at the table, did not get. I looked all around for a copy. I went to class to find that Zi Wei had locked the door and the PINK BOOK inside the class. Genius...woops. Anyway i got Miss Goh to photocopy me one piece but she gave it to me after the tea reception. I watched the other CCAs do their drills with Fhaizmel we were watching them and pointing their mistakes and laughing to ourselves from upstairs.
I did'nt know but Fhaizmel told me that someone said my drills were good. But i don't believe so i believe that i suck at drills. Never mind no point pressing the matter.
Jeebs , I'm damn tired i'm off to sleep now.

This is killing me!!!
This year since it started has been making me come home extra tired!!!!
I have not been able to come home and spend one day without having any work and not being tired at all!
Mr Lim is my CL B teacher and i can't say if its a blessing he is or whether its a curse. He's forcing me to learn CL i somewhat seem intrested in doing so but i'm lazy to do so. Why am i burdened with this!
I've been so tired. After Chinese today i had to speed off to band practice which the whole day was marching in the hot sun and now i'm drowsy writing this blog entry, at least i know i finished my work.
Chemistry been done, history been there done that with the presentation and A maths i know all the 3 questions now except the last part of question 3.
Good night , can't stay awake..............

Monday, January 03, 20051st day of school
DAMN TIRED. Today start the day with running after Eoin because he needed me to follow him and after that carried the damn heavy plycards to the meeting area and carrying fat lumps of books to the hall. Did gate duty till 8.30 plus. Most of the stuff in class was adminstrative stuff. After finding out we got miss goh as form teacher for ONE MORE YEAR. Mr David Lee with his certificates entered the class and bored all of us to death with his lecture. Hazril how can you put up with the bugger in future , my condolonces. Afterwards i guided the sec 1's on the tour around the school and got to know some of them but asking me...i don't think i will meet anyone who would make as great a friend as Candel ever did. Although shes not leaving us entirely and we'll still be in contact i know that i'll miss the voice and the face.
After guiding the sec 1's i saw candel at the office waiting for fharil , not long after i went back upstairs and got my bag to get to the hall but was no longer needed and trouped back to the class. Spoke to madam cheung and found she is my new history teacher. Went back to class and spent the last few minutes talking to Zi Wei who i suaned into becoming CEO , i'm media manager for the 3rd year running. Pei Yi is the assistant ceo and deborah is the sports manager. Went for band practice, before i had a long chat with Tien and talked about the simple points in life. I did my history notes and finished most of 1.2 which took nearly 1 whole page of foolscap. Attended band which started badly but improved later on. We did in all its glory for most of the day and i have to say its a great piece. We also did raining men which i could miraculously play most by now that i have heard the song before.
After band practice went home and turned on this computer and listened to my favourite pieces from, the patriot which are the MOST PATRIOTIC songs i have ever heard. As i listened i did the whole of 1.2 which took up another page of foolscap.
I expect school to get tougher in the coming days and months but i will keep going and i will never give up. Inspiration and patriotism have gotten to me.
I CAN GO THE DISTANCE AND SO CAN YOU.
Be motivated, Stay motivated , Motivate others!

Then once i arrive at school i'll head to the canteen , order my coffee and start finishing my history notes.
I can say that this is going to be a hell of a train ride.
