Life in NUS High is pretty much over. Last day of lessons last week ended off like any other usual day. I guess i'm glad for that. Nothing dramatically special and nothing horrible to foul it up. MY exams ended this week too so.. my grades are pretty much set too except for next week's bio presentation.. Oh well. I guess my direction in life now is to worry about army and university. Which means the next two months will be spent on graduation stuff and SAT prep etc. Dammit much as i seriously dislike sitting for the SAT i still need a decent score there. Ohh and yes i have my chinese Alevels to take. hahaha. Ah life.. Friday, September 25, 2009
Wow a month. I beat you cherm! Haven't updated here in hell long. Life feels like its been coming full circle. This time last month.. End of recital and starting Vienna performance prep? But yeah, of course the highlight this past month was finally leaving singapore for a while. Vienna was a beautiful city and Salzburg was a very quiet and peaceful.. not to mention everyone's company was great fun. I survived long plane rides without dying of boredom! But i'll leave it at that. Schools been.. alright i guess. The final three weeks and the final round of stress even if its post recital. Man exams real soon and it'll all be done. But even though things are hard, they always turn out alright in the end. This week was quite a blur even though it was one day shorter. But yesterday and today were good school days (minus english but thats okay). Yeah a lot happened this week including my bro's return to school so i'm rooming alone again. Life will be life. This post was pretty cheap and short. But it means something to me. Saturday, August 29, 2009
I am now an 18 year old! Thanks loads to everyone who wished me via sms or anything because today reminded me of how much i am loved and am blessed. Last year's birthday was awesome, i remember it clearly. The family dinner, the taupoking and all the well wishes. But this year is different because i guess another cycle brings new perspectives to life as well as helps me see how much growing up i've done over this year; especially through year 6. But anyway, back to today. English and math as usual.. mentoring was eaten up by assembly *grumbles* but yeah received my presents during the break after math which was really fun playing with the shrill chicken and the umm.. nosebleed plugs in the 6B classroom with everyone else. Went for chinese, came back practised a few songs with some music people and then went off for orchestra where they kinda surprised me with another set of gifts and even a cake which nobody helped eat and i had to being home myself! But nah, i had a family today to drive me and all my barang for dinner and home. Anyway, by right dr wong didnt want to let anyone off till 530 but being awesome, she released us to let some of us run. Did my usual 800 and 4X4 today which is total crap because this year i've managed to turn into some fat hamster so didnt win anything. But oh well, glad i did anyway (: And yeah dinner with the family after that which was pretty good and came home. It really has been a great past two weeks from my recital night to the whole of today.. I guess i've been really blessed beyond what i deserve and should thank God for every bit of it. A big thankyou to all those who very very kindly sent me cards and gifts because every last one count. Thanks especially to ren for being the first to wish me and for the really adorable card and monkey. (whos now named aaron and is sharing a space in the flowerpot with renee the rabbit), for initiating the orchestra gift idea because i really loved it. And of course for being there for me all the time even though i can be very full of nonsense! I guess thats essentially it. Poor angel's tired and so am I Tuesday, August 25, 2009
The past week has really been headache after headache. This time last week, i was non-stop thinking about the recital and how i was feeling really unprepared. The weekend was juggling preparing for the upcoming chem and math elective tests as well as practising saxophone. But in no time, the weekend passed and monday came, bringing the chem test which went.. alright la i guess. Math was “intro” to vectors and ta;ling about assignment 3. Bio was pretty lax this week probably cos it was practical. (shit i got a shitload of elective stuff to catch up with!) then followed by the lab’s discussion in the staffroom’s conference room. Spent that night studying for Tuesday’s sequences test which also went okay lah. The audi rehearsal before was depressing though. Everything was squeezed and very forced. Oh and if i’m not wrong i survived the day on 4 hours of sleep. And another 4 hours to last through Wednesday, which was travelling to tampines, to bugis and back to school for “chamber music” which kinda burned me out. So i decided to take a one hour nap which stretched to two hours. Bleh. And about 80% of my practise time was spent on memorizing the piece. Ah well. Thursday and Friday were somewhat better even if i had to endure English and being dragged through complex numbers (and i was trying okay!). ah well, yesterday afternoon was having my final lesson as well as enjoying a bit of fresh air before coming home to mug for the complex numbers test. The test itself sucked and i’m guessing to at most pass (if i’m lucky). And ah well, the rest is history. I guess its just been stressful, having to balance school along with the pressure that recital brought and the sporadic outbursts of.. strong emotional unbalance. So yeah i’m glad this week is over and i thank God for guiding me through all the way as well as blessing me with loving family and friends because without them i would’ve had a much harder time.

This has, surprisingly, been a very good national day. Had an eventful school celebration on friday with movie outing followed by another full saturday including a trip to the night safari with my brothers plus guests which was kinda fun even if taking photos was almost impossible. Went down for the lakeview NDCs at 430 to take photos of the children playing games. And it really surprised me to see such a large number that signed up for the neighbourhood celebration! Had a chance to play with my new lens and had a good late afternoon talking to people and stuff. Looks like i can be social after all eh? actually hung around until like 545 and decided to go home because dalton was getting bored. Cycled out to fareastflora cos i was not tired at all and watched the sunset at the quiet space beside the SPC topschool arena. Cycled back through macritchie where i kinda bumped into my brother running haha. that blurpok didnt even realise i was following him the whole stretch. then my mother had to ring and he realised i was there. So he kinda stole my bike and i ran back home through the side trails. Had dinner downstairs with the rest of the community and pretty much just spent time watching the NDP. Which was really very nice normally i'd just end up in my room sulking a little like what happened two years ago if i can remember correctly! but at least last year there was tioman to yeah. Came home and collapsed on the rolling bed since my other brother stole my bed for a nap. So sorry all those who i left hanging and waiting for replies and answers! and i realised that every little thing in life that happens, is all god driven :) Thursday, August 06, 2009
I've just had a really awesome day. Pretty average to above average school day because it started swith an english essay. Math quiz confirm cannot score full.. But the lesson was meaningful and the rest of the day was alright. NDP rehearsal during pe time. Wasted time slacking around in the hall and playing drums. Oooh and i managed to get my invites. Thanks loads angela for making those long trips.. They are really nice. Left school at 615 and reached paya lebar at 655 so there was time for dinner before another double lesson. Recital's coming gahh i'm so dead! But the lessons went well, teacher was very happy with the invite. (: Returned home with my parents to greet a house full new visitors which my er-ge invited over. I guess yesterday night was really happy because i got a distinction for my grade8 saxophone. Exactly the same score as clarinet and exactly the same time of year too! received the night before tioman/NDC. Spent the night up till 3am writing teacher's invitations. I thank god for those people who believe in me. Yesterday i really felt a lot of support from where ever i looked. My family, friends and even teachers. For the first time in a long while, i felt truly at peace. Thanks, all my close buddies at school. Whether or not you know who you are. And of course ren, for being ever ready to listen help me feel better. *smile* Wednesday, July 29, 2009
Another crazy week has come to an end. But this week was crazy in a different way.. Tests on monday and tuesday which i hope i did well enough for. Monday's math was worse i think.. and didnt have bio too! so ended up waiting till like 5 for MA to start. Tuesday was just math and chem lessons followed by the talk at nus for the bio elective class and oops i havent complied the notes taken there to hand in yet. Bussed home with Jack and had a nice 10 hour sleep. Wednesday, another fantastically slack day since it was the school's declared day off. woke up at.. 1030? Wow and hung around doing i-forgot-what and then met everyone at plaza sing. Went off to play left4dead at some place nearby which was.. damn fun. It was damn funny and we had 8 people hence the very rounded versus match. Left after 2.5 hours including my lunch while waiting to respawn. Lol spent paid 4 dollars for that 2.5 hours which i think is not bad. Ran off to buy harry potter tickets after that which was about.. 3 minutes before meeting ren and nes. The movie was alright i guess.. nice, 2 hours long and more funny than the 5h which was full of harry potter's wizard angst. Walked from the cathay all the way to paragon slowly while it turned dark, ate at paragon and went home (: Thursday and friday back at school, sleeping a total of 8 hours haha. Which is probably why i couldnt pay attention in english. But i think the evenings are what made my day work out. Sitting with mom and dad going home on thursday night after a long day is never something to not look forward to, since it equates to not coming all the way home on my own and because theres usually dinner waiting too. Friday night had dinner after orch at holland V. Was home with just my two brothers and the dog which was pretty enjoyable. Thankfully managed to wakeup on time this morning and have quite a fuitful day. I told myself, one week ago, to let it go and to take it easy.. the that test starts only now. Why do i not feel supported? As if youre looking down at me for what i enjoy doing. Saturday, July 25, 2009
I've been too lazy to post about my week. Lotsa updates! Monday was normal, chem and math (yawn) followed by biooo with our first practical. There was supposed to be MA meeting but talent search dragged so it got cancelled and so i stayed in school an hour and a half extra while i shouldve gone home to continue lastminute mugging of scales. Yup because my long awaited saxophone exam was on tuesday, meaning i missed lessons that day. Exam was alright, he gave easier scales but i think i gave some really really dumb to the core answers for aural and bad sightreading in the later half of the passage. Yeah i really shouldve put more effort into this one. I think i only worked just as hard for the clarinet exam. Wednesday was lessonless because music was a fieldtrip to little india which was pretty enjoyable, followed by an icecream session with ren, nes, charmaine and some year 5 that we dragged along. (heh, divya la) And yeah, smack in the middle of a school week. Cool right? Anyway, 167-ed home and was tired but was being guai and did math at night. Thursday was the last "awesome" day with no complex numbers class. So i just sat there and finished my tuorial. Lunch outside and PE after that. Yeah, we were the only class! Well it was alright then but now i think its kinda funny thinking back about the way mr sun was teaching and giving advice when we were already playing. Quick washup and dad sent me for my second clarinet lesson ever with laoshi. Lol. Recital in about 4 weeks leh! Hahahaha. Oh well. If there was anything that made my day better it was sitting in the car with my dad. I was just too tired. Friday was alright. Complex numbers lessons started again and i think the quiz went okay. *happy* Then basically bummed after my morning lessons till cca time. Thankfully dr wong opens the room early and i can do personal prac for a few good hours before cca. Orch was messy. HiNi is screwing up everything. As if the timetable itself wasnt doing that already.. Bussed home after that and got off the bus with a glorious sunset greeting me as i joined my brother for dinner. But anyway, i think this week was .. memorable so i'll photoblog a little.  Bio Prac Music class at little india Bumming around during complex numbers class time Sunset from the moving carMonday, July 20, 2009
Maybe i'm not as free as i somehow thought i was. I have an exam on tuesday, math assignments due this week, a recital to prepare for, hella lot of chem and bio to keep up with and my mind is weighed down my its own thoughts already. Special electives generally means cram all the semesters into one. why the hell didnt i see that coming. Or maybe i did but didnt take it seriously. Last week wasn't too bad already but all week i was off form and full of angst. What'll happen on friday when complex numbers starts again? my goodness i'm in trouble. And i'm still facing the same dilemma. Who is more in need? Sunday, July 12, 2009
This weekend's really passing way too fast. I want mondays to be part of the weekend! Just like last week. Damn i'll be looking forward to national day weekend.. If there was ever a weekend i really feel called to slow down and chill a bit, it'd be this one. Maybe its the work thats slowly piling up or maybe i'm just feeling a little more guai but i've been more motivated to sit down and be productive this weekend. Only stupid thing is, i really cannot focus this weekend and i dont know why. And its so frustrating because theres absolutely no excuse for it i can think of. Its probably the best time to slack off, but i dont even want to.. If i force harder would it help? Maybe not but at lease i can say i tried. My gosh and i'm doing my homework so damn slowly. Blah and i have to leave for saxophone soon. Saturday, July 11, 2009
A nice relaxing saturday.. Started out early this morning to go to the botanics with john. It was kinda cloudy but it felt like a good day until it started raining at the cluny road entrance. So i had to run back to serene center where we had macs for breakfast. Rain cleared after about half an hour so we went straight to the orchid garden. Set up and started our thing from the "VIP toilets". So all in all it was almost 3 hours at the park before i could change and we both headed for lunch at bukit timah. We wanted to LAN after that but apparantly a membership is required which needs SEVEN days to process. Hahaha good luck if youre trying to make money. You lose so much from kids who plan an hour or two purely on impulse. Back home on 52.. it was a hot-ish afternoon came home and surfed the net for a while and took a 40 minute light nap. Woke up to do more bio which i left off from last saturday. Dang i relaly did very little work today. Hope i can finish the bio fast and do chem tomorrow.. rats.. Now i'm thankful math homework was due on friday else i'd really be in trouble now. Music can wait i suppose.. i can use monday evening.. or tuesday evening.. or even wednesday morning? nah. too rushed. oh well. Left home for hearts on fire at cjc after doing some work. This year it was probably not advertised as well as the previous two years, but great nontheless! Joint effort between nus, ntu and smu. Previously it was purely by nuscss. Anyway i realise i've been away from P&W and stuff for like, since tHE conference last year.. really miss it. miss praying like that and talking to people i used to hang out with really often. Healing tonight too and the exposition of the blessed sacrament. Yes and i did truly feel His love today. finally Another thing interesting about tonight was the amount of networking possible among singapore's catholic youth. Went today with jervis, gretch, matt, angela and her friend ryan. Turns out jervis and ryan were both SJI boys and ryan's in SJII now meaning he knows grace and nat. lol and of course so many other people.. sam, chris toh, charmaine chew and even janice (keith heng's sis) oh man.. and gel and ryan are both from st bernadette's which is somewhere else on this island. Then of course gel and i are from nus high, the secular school. So i guess thats kinda cool, knowing that there are others in school like me, feeling a little like the oddball at church haha (: But yes, thanks a bunch for tonight, you lot. peace and every happiness be with every one of you. anyway, better get going or my angel's gonna be mad at me for sleeping so little!

I've fallen back into that pit of jealousy and short temperedness. Great.. just great.. dammit.. Sunday, July 05, 2009
Yesterday was a good day. Yes i got up 2 hours later than planned and went for a short cycle to wake up. So cool, ran into three familiar faces during that time. The day went well and smoothly enough. Did some bio and watched more episodes the whole morning and afternoon till about 3 to prepare for aural/performance session. Met vanessa at 345 and ate doughnuts before class. Session was good, i think i'm gonna die for aural but anyway.. playing was alright but i'm totally drowning out the piano's sound. Poor ms dawn. Anyway off for NP/NYP combined school orchestra concert after that to watch with John jess and brennan. Ben was the CM and 2 of his arragements were played! I feel so honoured cos he kept showing me and letting me listen while he was in the process of arranging. So yesterday was his big night featuring at VCH. Well done buddy. One last thing, dinner last night and prac this morning made me feel really supported. My fellow musicians were so quick to give me a yes when i invited them for my recital.. Whole choir too in fact. Just something that gave me some lift very recently (: Friday, July 03, 2009
Its time to force myself to sit down and do this. I've been putting off blogging allllllll week. First week back at school's over and i must say that this would probably be my most memorable/favourite semester. From monday to friday, my schedule each day seems fair enough, it doesnt feel too taxing and i dont even have to get up early on tuesdays and wednesdays anymore. Each day this week i come home feeling happy, thanking God for how well things have been going. But no, its not exactly a slack and easy semester either. Elective classes seem alright. Gonna have to study hard for chem and math and just do my best for bio. I think bio is the one that surprised me most, having a teacher whos experienced teaching A level students instead and taking a different approach to the whole elective rather than re-lecturing what we've learned before. And i'll probably stick with my math too after (not that much) re-considering. Guess i shouldn't be a chicken about it right? Music is .. alright i suppose. The module is one thing but recital is in just a few weeks oh my gosh! Met my team Vivaldi this week to discuss and all. I really want to do this well and i hope i'm happy about it when its all over. And then there'll be vienna to look forward to! English is.. the usual. no comment haha. Complex numbers is like going back to year 4 math again. As in, the speed of the lesson and all feels like how math used to be before we were split into tracks. Oh well and because of H1N1 we still have to take our temperatures twice daily and theres still no CCA or unnecessary gatherings allowed. Back to my DVDs then. Again, i have failed to blog tonight. My goodness.. Wednesday, June 24, 2009
Its amazing how fast time flew by this evening. Looking back at my day and how rich it has been; travelling out despite the rain with an angel's company, walking around with john and buying my reeds, the overall cool and thoroughly enjoyable weather and of course the multitude of experiences and observations from the workplace today in particular. Three hours have flown past since i opened espace for a look at the timetable. And this 3 hours just disappeared in a blur of happy conversation, including that with the tioman people, and it just made me feel really warm. I think i really need to just leave for a while. I cant live off only breathing tropical Singaporean and Malaysian air for much longer and i’m slowly going mad. Thank goodness for Vienna. But fun as it looks it may be too fast paced and busy to enjoy!! Well, shant complain.. i’m thankful for the opportunity already. My my. I’m surprised at how nostalgic daydreaming made me feel. I want to lie down and rest in a meadow; cool, grassy and comfortable and maybe surrounded by a few animals. Oh man do i seriously need a mindbreak right now. June didn’t give me that. Monday, June 22, 2009
Been spending the whole weekend with my cousin jared who came in from the states through the philippines. Brought him out today and showed him the school. Then we bussed to the esplanade where we relaxed a little and each bought a mrs field's muffin! Man i havent eaten one of those in AGES! Another interesting thing about today is that my mum wanted me to host him so all costs were paid for by her. I actually found out what it feels like to not care about how much i spent in a day since it wasnt my allowance xD. But i guessi shouldnt get used to it. once is good enough though! Only ended up spending about 30 bucks for both of us all in all anyway. So yeah after the muffin we went to the library where i probably bored him with like 20 minutes searching for a DVD and cursing while waiting at the information counter. But still, thank goodness i didnt commit to the premium membership which costs 20 bucks (for now). Guess i'm still a cheapo at heart! Rooftop for 5 minutes after that quickly pointing out the cool stuff visible from there and off to suntec after that for lunch. Then my mother picked us up, dropped me home and brought him to vivocity. Met msdawn at 6 to run through exam and new pieces and had a chance to walk around forum galleria for a while. i went to toysrus ahahaha. Back to waking up early again tomorrow. Final week, i know i'll miss this holiday when its over. Sunday, June 21, 2009
Ren’s right. My blog is rotting. Oh well! Third week of break is over and the excitement is rising. This time next week it’ll be back to school everyday with a whole new year 6 program. Its gonna be a blur and i don’t want to get lost in it. This week’s been the most quiet i suppose, getting up at 615 and napping from 12 to 2 before leaving home again and coming back at 7. I guess i can say its been a little boring too.. but i guess its better than rotting at home ALL day. At least this weekend was kinda fun, scribing for the national jumping finals equitation classes. Watching the competition made me think back on when i used to take part and all.. And theres so much i have to do really. And i’m lazy to get started.. i need to chase for a few letters, write personal statements, do my (bloody) essay, continue going to work everyday, mentally prepare myself for school to begin and lastly... oh yeah. Practise for my recital and exam!! Kind of miss my week at the zoo. That was great without having to wake up too early and coming home feeling happy and with a load of new experiences. I should make this final week just as meaningful. Would i feel more accomplished if i forced myself to start doing things mentioned above? Yeah probably. Monday, June 15, 2009
Feeling a little tired, but feeling happy. Had a really nice slackoff and relax day with ren who so nicely agreed to pei me today which basically meant drifting around stoning and just enjoying fresh air (: Saturday, June 13, 2009
Oh man, week two's already over! Had a really busy time this week, falling sick n monday and yet reporting everyday for work as well as going out on thursday night with the band. well my one week with the zoo ended today. I had a good time and really enjoyed being a keeper this past week. Cleaning, feeding and preparing food for african herbivores. I've never touched giraffe or rhino in my life so that was also a great experience. And of course i had a fastastic time with the keepers, who i slack with 50% of the time since all the work's done already. Lol my keepers are so full of nonsense that we end up talking cock and eating the durians that dropped nearby. But i also got to understand the more important things go behind the animal's upkeep. Enrichment, breeding, behaviour observation and problem solving as well as the necessary medical care required. Went to tampines to jam on thursday night which was fun, havent done that since the hostel days and it was just good fun with good company. Thanks guys! Just that i wanna kick mayfong for suggesting that place which meant i had to cab all the way down during peak hour. The direct trainride home was surprisingly short though 45 minutes to marymount from which i can now walk home. Whee. i love my new MRT station. Two full days to slack off now, before going back for work on tuesday morning. The holidays are just passing too fast! Wednesday, June 10, 2009
So many things have happened in the past 23 days. From chalet, to music lessons, to games day, to the medical check, to jury, to the last day of school, to the SAT and now into the middle of the june holiday/attachment period. What would happen if i just throw it all away? Its not the same.. i'm going mad even though i'm well occupied. miss you. Saturday, June 06, 2009
A week of holiday gone. So far so good i guess. Most of the week's spent on attachment and things are becoming pretty routine though its sometimes tiring to wake up at 6am and come home for an hour of sleep before heading out again. And i'm pretty familliar with most of the work already so its quite fun apart from the times where things can get a little out of control and dangerous. Not much detail, so yeah haha. This week was spent with a fair amount of nagging and uneasiness too becuase of the SATs which i didnt study for again. But i think this year's test felt better than last year's.. Maybe cos i'm already used to 3+ hour exams and i already know what to expect. Not to mention NUS high doesnt have a few hundren candidates stuffed in one hall with frequent blackouts to slow everything down. But i'm pretty happy. Right now i'm feeling free because the SAT is over and things are going well. I have a day of rest tomorrow and zoo to look forward to on monday. Ohhh and i have prison break 4! Yay! And thanks ren for pushing me to blog! Saturday, May 30, 2009
And sem one's over! Last day of school yesterday was pretty alright. Woke up feeling good, reached school feeling good and enjoyed the visit to NTU even though i'm not interested in applying there. Came back to school to clean classrooms and get results. 4.15 this sem. Thats really great progress i guess? even though its supposed to be easier to score this sem.. but still, nothing below a B+ is something i'm gonna be thankful for and impove further on. But the average is still really lousy. But... yeah i'll worry later. I'm back home again. And thats nice too (: So begins the june holidays! Thursday, May 28, 2009
Before i forget, this is my blog's 501st published post! Yay. Its thursday night. The night before another last day of school, and my last night at my aunt and uncle's house. Today has been busy and i'm glad its over. Woke up in the morning with some sort of pain which is quite irritating. Went to school and to medical checkup from there. The checkup itself took almost 2 hours from station to station and thanks to colourblind-ness i'm a pes B haha. Man now i feel so lousy. But its the same la so .. dont care. Back to school for jury. Reached at about 1245 and hung around warming up/slacking till about 250 when ms dawn came. Since she needed to leave i had to steal charmaine and angela's slots. So sorry! And i only managed to go in at like.. 4 plus. My playing for the jury itself sucked, but the teachers didnt say anything. It sounded so much nicer outside. But oh well thats not an excuse was probably a little nervous. Hmm and today made me realise just how nice my pieces are.. something i never really really appreciated before. Perhaps i should really get down to memorising everything. Hung around for almost an hour after that, and then went to meet jervis straight for dinner before heading to church. Only reached back here at 10plus. Oh well. Saturday, May 23, 2009
Its been over a week of break now. But its probably time to start getting busy again. Jury's next week and i feel really screwed, SATs coming and i havent studied and from next week on its the holidays already which means busy busy.. Lifes like that. I *thought* APs and everything in sem 1 would be stressful; or at least that sem 2 would be a breeze but right now, i realise how fast its gonna be and then it'll be time to graduate. Crap, mixed feelings. Always mixed feelings.. Anxious and nervous for whats coming up and the life we will have to part with but also the smiles and laughter when i just calm down, live fully in the moment and do/think about unimportant things. But i suppose i cant daydream for more than a while, or i'll be in trouble. Heh, oh well.. full steam ahead i guess.. i'll be there for you.. cos youre there for me too. Thursday, May 21, 2009
Woke up early for mass today at 630. I planned for wakeup at 550 but snoozed 5 minutes. Glad i did wakeup though! Cycled to church and sat with john teo. Later we both migrated to the organ to support desmond who was alone haha. Breakfast after that at home and walked dalton to windsor park and back. I'm feeling good this morning.. perhaps i should keep this habit of sleeping a little earlier and waking up earlier to greet the new day before the sun rises high at about 9+ because the heat makes me feel even lazier. So heres to another new day. I'm smiling. i want to make you feel proud of me. Wednesday, May 20, 2009
Oops. I just slept four hours away after taking a shower and practising a bit (more for fun than anything). So much for not being too tired huh. Wednesday 1pm. This time last week, the english exam ended hence freeing all the year 6's for the semester. I've been out since monday at the class chalet, and actually stayed over the 2 nights. The place wasnt fantastic and was actually quite neglected. But still, guess the point was being able to enjoy the company and to slack half a week off although its techincally still a school week. Hahaha but yes, it didnt feel like monday or tuesday at all. Arrived on monday aftrnoon and had a bbq then slacked the rest of the night off at the park. Woke up at 6 the next morning to watch the sunrise which turned out to just be the the darkness turning to light. Heh, but wow! 6 am! Not bad, jie and ren (: Back again to snooze until ding came and called about the doors being locked. Cycling after the second wakeup of that morning.. This was fun the bikes were pretty alright and we went around ECP. Went back to shower and rest for a couple of hours which involved completely no sleeping due to lots of little fights for blankets and to play cards. *laughs* but in the end haoyi turned up and the four of us went to the city. Managed to get some nice shots but it was really hot and soon i was falling asleep not knowing what i was taking. Suntec for food followed by the esplanade and marina barrage. Yep, 2nd time to barrage yesterday and it made me happy again (: Cabbed back, ate dinner and walked back to chalet. I realise ive never spent this much over a short period before. Haha but oh well it was nice. Bussed back to school this morning with jie and ren. 196 took about over an hour but timing was still alright for school though it was freaking cold on the bus. sorry if i made you cold too! Had a meeting regarding the vienna trip which looks super fun. Cant wait to leave singapore for a while. Got a B for ETSS btw. Was really hoping for a glorious B+ average this sem but oh well its alright.. Back home now.. and i'm kinda happy. Not too drained but feeling well occupied. Its hot outside but i'm a comfortable aircon room. Anyway, my piece came in the mail today. Right when i reached home! Yes. i'm happy because things are looking good. Thanks ding, jie and ren for a ton of great fun! Wednesday, May 13, 2009
Alright, now exams are OFFICIALLY over! (I can still count SATs but its different haha.) But YEAH english is over i think i wrote less than 500. Oops i think ms bay is pretty pissed off at me by now. Well i dont really care right now. Went to the botanics after the paper fro frisbee. Urgh i feel so cheated weather forcast promised me RAIN in three zones flanking central and all we got was fierce humidity -.- So we played for like half an hour and everyone took a break which didnt stop haha. Went for a walk all the way around the symphony lake and back, then slowy went home. Had dinner at bishan instead of eating with everyone else at lido. Glad i did that; the foodcourt jack intro-ed had nice food. My lovely chart is still kinda bare, but for the next two weeks i suppose it'll fill up with more ad-hoc activities and all. Class chalet scheduled for next monday to wednesday! should be fun just that we're still awaiting confirmation from our dear shawn lee. Eh boss, later someone else books then how? K, and i've got an appointment with john tomorrow for cyling at tampines.(its on the chart :D) so gonna wakeup early again to check the weather. and it slowly gets better again (: Tuesday, May 12, 2009
I just slacked off an entire evening. Somehow i dont feel too proud of myself even though theres really nothing to care about.. haha But on a more serious note, sometimes i feel like i dont know what i'm doing with my life anymore. More time to think about it tomorrow anyway. (: Monday, May 11, 2009
