Tomorrow's childrens day but too bad!We aint kids no more,which means..schools as per normal...*sigh* i miss those days where schools half day and we have parties and teachers give presents to us.Soooo primary school!!Haha well todays rather simple..church,tuition,study.Study so much till i fell asleep reading the unseen text lol,or i think its just lack of sleep and improper meals.Hey what can you expect when im cooking myself and the fridge is like almost empty!So all i had was instant noodles and thats what i had for dinner and crap burnt my index.Now you know how "inexperienced" i am at cooking,too long without cooking and your skills get rusty.Oh well at least my stomachs pretty full now :p,so yeah thats about it.And since my post is so short,here's a poem i got from my text:
First Love
I ne'er was struck before that hour
With love so sudden and so sweet.
Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower
And stole my heart away complete.
My face turned pale as deadly pale,
My legs refused to walk away.
And when she looked 'what could i ail?'
My life and all seemed turned to clay.
And then my blood rushed to my face
And took my sight away.
The trees and bushes round the place
Seemed midnight and noonday.
I could not see a single thing,
Words from my eyes did start;
They spoke as chords do from the string
And blood burnt round my heart.
Are flowers the winter's choice?
Is love's bed always snow?
She seemed to hear my silent voice
And love's appeal to know.
I never saw so sweet a face
As that i stood before:
My heart has left its dwelling place
And can return no more.
John Clarke
Nice?Very,haha i wish i could say such words to the girl i have in mind.But im just too shy!So i'll leave it at that for the moment haha so signing off :p

Thats what 4e4 is good at,breaking records..but in a bad way unfortunately!Well well well the weeks been really busy and tiring..revising like theres no tomorrow!Well i should be doing that cause O's are less than 3 weeks time!!Other than revising..lets see what else did i remember..oh yeah on tuesday wow really funny. Dnt period, everyone was like pissing mdm pang off,like at 1 pm sharp everyone dropped their pencil followed up by singing off lullaby songs at 1.05 and acting like an Indian at 1.10.So one word to put that lesson-CHAOS!And i became the punching bag in the class i have no idea why,was punched for a continuous 4 periods,breaking my record of 1,which meant that i was jabbed for 1 hour and 20 mins.And now i can just admire the numerous number of bruise on both my arms..LOL!Wednesday was the first time we broke the record for attendance which was 25,and believe me it was rather peaceful.Then on Thursday we broke the record again!Only 22 people came for class.I have to say its pretty cosy having such a small class at least we can learn a bit heh.Then after recess was the killer.E3,4,5 were called to the LT for a talk by mr lak.Waaaayyyy embarassing well in most peolpes cases at least.He showed individual results to the whole group disgracing each one of us in front of the rest.Thank goodness im still above average amongst the group heh so when it was my turn,it was short and sweet :p.Yesterday had lunch with Mark and Co. at Long Johns,really funny!Of course when you eat you have to talk so we first started with MM lee and continued to more and more irrelevent topics until we finally ended up talking about Gay sex!I have no idea how it ended up there but damn i sure laughed a lot!Then went to the airport with Joe and Tarci to send my mom off to Indo so you should know what that means..Im home alone...AGAIN!Yeap well at least i can still be disciplined enough to study and not only play play play lol!And well on the way back Tarci came up with an interesting topic actually.
What do you think of Singapores education system.Well in my opinion,Singapore has been under a KBE system for close to 2 decades or 3 maybe,since the only resource we have is people,making education strict and kept under tight control is actually quite reasonable.Though i do think that the banding system isnt really fair to all students,example would be those who do well in maths and science in sec 2 are eligible to take triple double combi,however that doesnt mean that those who just missed the requirement mark are not able to cope with it.It is quite biased somehow as only the "best" can take it,but maybe even those who werent able to to take the combi can be better.Like how they band people into EM3 or NA or NT,its not because they are stupid,its because they are nurtured wrongly.If a hundred students are in the same class and they give the same amount of determination and commitment,then its quite impossible for them to have 25-30 of it fail.The numbers can even be much less, maybe even 0.Its all about how they are taught and if they are willing to learn.A good example would be my brother,he dropped out of uni cause he was sick of it,but in the end he's studying for his masters now.So if one really want to learn then only he can achieve.Remember that no one is born stupid,everyone is equal.Just the way they are brought up,their background and beliefs change it.So yeah thats my view of education though i think i really went out of point heh.Oh crap i think i just got food poisoning for trying to cook my own food!Ack signing off!:p

Thats what both doctors asked me when i went to see them.One for my throat which swelled up over the weekend i have no idea why,the other for my increasing number of pimples haha.Dont think me of vain cause i was forced to see the doctor by my mom...though it did become really amusing actually.Though the medicine really was a killer,lets see..i had to gargle iodine solution and that made me go green for a while,metaphorically and lots more.But seriously when the docs asked if i was stressed up due to the upcoming O's my mom just laughed.Ok i laughed too!If you know me well,im sure youve never seen me stressed up before,even then i dont look like i do right?:p unfortunately maybe thats why my prelim results arent that good either.lets just say its not too bad but not too good as well,an improvement from my mid years but i can go nowhere with my L1r5,so take a guess!Hmm what else happened this week...well all i know if i laughed a lot,really laughing till i roll on the floor or something like that haha.Ok i remember,wednesday for mrs er period we had a talk by this guy mr barton or something like that,my gosh!First thing i thought was OH MY GOSH!Arsene Wenger is in st pats!Seriously,the guy looked like Arsenal's manager.But his talk in my opinion was really very funny,so thats like the best english lesson i had this year,unfortunately from an outside speaker and not the teachers themselves since e4 had a lot of english teachers..like lets see 6 in 2 years?Haha as much as our form teachers as well.
Thursday was weirder,both science teacher wasnt in school so that means 7 free periods total.Though during that time the relief teacher which was an ex patrician was super cool,told us bout all the stuff you know haha,well what can you expect from someone who studies law.And a more major news!Jose Mourinho left Chelsea!No offence for chelsea fans but you guys wont survive without him.Thank goodness im a Milan supporter hehe and did anyone see the Pirlo free kick against Benfica?Real Beauty.Friday wasnt too bad as well,watched a bit of dead poets society for lit then had another talk by Dr William Tan,the athlete on wheelchair.He really is inspirational if you listen to his life storey and how he never gave up.Oh well the rest of the week was like practically revision time so thats about it i think.So signing off :p!

Well well well,tomorrows the start of a new week again.Most probably going to find out my prelim marks which i hopefully are good!So wish me the best of luck for that haha,but then again one must first help himself before others can help him so yea just a saying.All i know right now is my sore throat is killing me...been 4 days and it hasnt recover yet,cant even sleep so it should prbably explain the eye bags i have!Plus!Had a haircut this morning and my gosh!!Its a disaster,well its almost a perfect cut but the auntie again!!cut the centre a bit deeper than the other sides so i have a like a hole in the middle like an old man balding...oh well gotta wait till like another 3 weeks before i cut my hair again.Hmm im like runing out of stuff to write lol,anyone can give me any idea of what to write about next time i post?Thanks and signing off!:p

Agggghhhh!Im stuck with the PSE..the one where you get sick because the exams are over..Lame?Maybe but i find it quite irritating really.How should i put it hmm..slight fever with sore throat plus flu and ulcers everywhere..HOW CRAPPY IS THAT!
Oh well maybe because im pretty sure i most likely screw up my exams which i really hopefully didnt.The last few papers can be considered not as hard as the rest but got a few of the results back and damn..it was really disappointing.Ok anyways just to highlight certain events for the past week cause i havent been on for you know what reasons haha.Actually the most notable day would be Wednesday..umm the day which the 9/11 actually occured in Asia..Let us offer our prayers to those who fell victims to the works of evil...
Well..wednesday was notable cause first,exam was only an hour,first time i actually went to the library to do something and of course the lunch which was about to come haha.Seoul Garden buffet where the 5 of us actually spent almost 3 hours sitting,eating and completely joking around!And maybe thats the reason why i fell pretty sick after that..Oh well bought a book at Kino and really engrossed with it.LOL!Yes if you thought your dreaming go pinch yourself cause your not!Lemme repeat this..I AM REALLY ENGROSSED WITH A BOOK!Surprising isnt it?Well lets just say the book is of really interesting content,with amazing plots and characters worthy of my praise.Haha ok i shall not get carried away and trying to continue to critique the book.Well thats that,hope i can finish it by the weekend..practically less than 100 pages left to go!Haha so signing off!:p

Haha well yeap i had a really fun day today.Couldnt sleep well last night so i did have a back ache heh.Oh well anyways went out with this really special person today whom i shall not name and its only for me to know and you to find out!!LOL!Had lunch at a resto(i kinda forgot the name)where i chose another weird stuff called beef daube,well it didnt taste too bad just that theres too much of mash potatos till i think im practically only eatin potatoes haha.Had a nice long conversation with the really special person considering that we had like 3 hours to spare before the movie starts!Hehe well ok you cant really expect 2 people just sitting down and talking for 3 hours straight right...though there are people like that hmmm,so yea we walked around till i think we actually familiarise the place!Well what can i say,too much time to kill haha.Well we did have a pit stop at Kino where we did see like the most weirdest titles a book can have like lets see "The couple diet?:Cheat on your husband and not your food?" or something like that heh.Then finally!After we got a bit bored of we went across the road to Paragon!Gosh seriously Orchard is some kind of food paradise or something cause every corner we turn to theres food!!Tempting..but cant eat anymore!Haha then we found out that theres like Kids shop and toys shop there and you should know what happened next..No we did not buy any toys!We just took a quick browsing hehe,if only i was like maybe 8 years younger than probably i consider that place heaven but too bad my kiddiness has gone..
Finally when we were close to finishing up our 3 hours,we decided to walk back to Lido hah!and guess what..we still had time..so we found a seat and talked again,well if there wasnt the big screen showing the trailers and somewhat distracting me i would probably talk much more sense!Ok then the time was up!Phew well we wanted to buy a large popcorn but damn!The size of it gave not only me a shock!So we ended up buying a medium sized one though it was still really huge and we didnt manage to finish it as well.The movie we watched?Hmm im sure you should have guessed it,since there are like only a few nice movies screening this week.Yeap the movie was ratatouille.I can only say the rat remy was so damn cute!Other than mickey mouse i dont think ive called any other rat cute.And the story was nice really,for a cartoon it sure did show a mizture of comedy and suspense plus a bit of romance too hehe quite a few kissing scenes lol.So i'll give it like umm 4.75/5?Haha really good so you should watch it!The only bad part of the cinema was it was so damn cold and i hate to like hold my bladder for i think close to an hour.Imagine the rush i had after that!Oh well then walked to the mrt where the really special someone had to leave..wow i really suck at saying goodbyes..hmm gotta improve on that..well all i can say is thanks for accompanying me and haha i sure had fun!And since the weather was so fine i decided to walk home..And bad choice.I finally realized why i couldnt walk normally today haha and guess what i found..i actually strained my muscle like probably yesterday or maybe today and my whole right knee is like bruised up no wonder it hurts!Well studied and then had dinner and studied again..gotta compensate my time you know and well now writing this :p,so signing off!

Umm first of all is that how you spell torturous?Lol anyway haha weekend was extraordinarily slack!Went to SJI in the morning to study with marcus then joined in a bit for the lltc b ot retreat hehe,i dont think anyone used my games though..Oh well didnt stay quite long though i should have,anything for a free meal and free lodging!But i chose to watch evan almighty instead well the movie wasnt really as funny as i thought but lets just give it 3 stars out of 5.
Yesterday was even more slack.Had tuition and then went to clarke quay for Alextine's farewell party and he's leaving like 11 pm tonight.Ate at Brewerkz,Lamb Shank=Yummy.Hehe then went to central where we had our dessert.UNFORTUNATELY!People you forgot to pay for the tax!!Consider you guys lucky to have a good friend like me lol.Walked home and slept!
Had Lit remedial today and wow it was not so bad.At least i can still manage to stay awake and go through the lesson.Took down usefull notes though i have no idea but everyone has different kinds of perspectives,totally diferent ideas concerning the characters inside the stories.Then it rained..drenched me but its good to be "washed" once in a while :p.Went to the airport to pick mom and dad ate ban mian and thats about all.Hopefully the week doesnt get any worse!Signing off :p
