ncc can just go jump down and die right now(:

but yes, it is pretty bittersweet i guess. mixed feelings. but i kinda feel indifferent.

definitely, ncc was memorable. i might miss it. might.

after much careful consideration, i've decided not to shave for hair for hope this year. it was a difficult decision, and i'm sure i'll somehow have regrets, but nevertheless, i still gotta stick to my choice of not shaving this year. i took a long enough time to finally get my hair back into its normal hairstyle, and i certainly don't want my hair to be screwed during graduation at the end of the year. selfish? maybe. just not this year. maybe the next, but not this one. sorry people.

for some reason, i'm listening to wonder girls. please do not ask why, because i've no idea myself.

oh. howard just texted me the entire hoedown throwdown lyrics.

just kill me.

its already bad that the song's from miley. and you guys aren't making it even better. after listening to it only three times, i think its a retarded and meaningless song. honestly.

why don't they just cancel AP?

its stupid enough that they cancelled the passing out parade, so why didn't they just cancel AP too? isn't it pretty meaningless anyway. i mean, who will actually want to watch with so many strict regulations? plus, old boys and parents aren't allowed to come.

damn.

hair for hope.

YES/NO?

can't decide. last year's shave was fucked up.

i can't believe my brother's gone to melbourne to study.

the next time i'll see him, is during the november-december break. which is a really long time too. and mom went off with him too. to help him settle all his stuff. which means i'm stuck with dad, till mom returns home next week. a week with dad. how terrific.

SJI 101st TRACK AND FIELD MEET.

oh damn. today was somewhat disappointing.

first of all, let's start with house.

MICHAEL.

we won 2nd for house cheer competition, losing to LAWRENCE.

and we got 2nd too, for overall, losing to FINTAN.

really sad, honestly. good job to MARCIAN too. top four(:

next.

425.

once again, kinda unhappy.

4x100m relay, we won 2nd, losing to 426.

4x400m realy, we won 2nd once again, losing to 433.

overall, we won 3rd, as we lost to 437, and 433, who were track champions.

whatever it is, i felt really disgruntled, cause i thought we could have won. it seemed like a good year to do so. i really wanna win overall class championship):

nevertheless, there's always some good in everything.

congrats to yao yi, for winning the most points for all track events.

and edwin, the secondary four individual champion:)

in any case, good job to all participants. and house committee, cause this was probably the best track and field meet ever. yeah.

oh, and i watched benjamin button after eating lunch at the macs opposite church. spectacular movie, really deserves it oscar nominations.

well. fantastic job to:

edwin, francis, eugene, cheng yu, haqqim, shaun, brandon, nat, si jun, melvyn, brij, bryan lee, yamani, yao yi, suman and to anyone else that i've missed out, i'm terribly sorry.

thanks for a good track and field meet guys.

namely,

tej, martin, myles, james, matthew heng, goutham, yash, howard, tim, nicholas, gabriel seow, aaron, rovik, jerome dass, viren, josiah, gerald chan, ivan, jag, gavin, kelvin and once again, i'm sorry if i've missed out anyone.

this is damn scary. and i swear, its true.

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

alright, today was just plain screwed. the chinese new year performance was really boring, and pretty darn terrible. probably the worst one in my four years in secondary school. well, that my take.

then when school ended, there was this meeting for all specialists, which started at 11am, when school ended around 10am. one word, retarded. yes. really screwed up my day. the thing is, i intended to leave at 11.30am, and in the end i left at 12.30pm. one hour late. seriously just wasted my life.

after that i went to grand cathay to meet howard, marcus, jag and le fa for inkheart. and guess who we met there. more 425 people, plus a lot more. nearly half our class went to watch. oh, and by the way, the movie's fucking dumb, cause it doesn't exactly make a lot of sense at all. screwed, yes.

when the movie ended, i headed to plaza sing with howard, to buy my lunar new year clothes. last minute, like everything else. oh, and howard can actually fit into a size small shirt. totally unbelievable.

well, at least its holidays again. finally a break from studying. thats pretty good, honestly. hmm. good day.

there's this idiot in my group, who was supposed to summarise the entire presentation, and send it to wang wen, decides to sleep early. and basically dumps the work on my lap. fuck him man. born loser. you'd be thankful edwin and i accepted you into our group. bitch. totally ruined my night.

for everything else, i realise how badly i need a break from school. i've just been so caught up in school, that i've practically neglected everything else around me. my family, close friends, church, and even my studies. i really gotta stop slacking and run the race all the way to the end.

oh. one more thing.

ah fuck. i decided to delete some posts. no idea why. anyway, ive got physics spa exam tomorrow, which basically sucks, and i cant say yam prepared us to pass with flying colours, much least to actually pass. well, justina went for shine jesus shine youth rally at novena, in this case i don't really bother going. so far, its been a great day back at school.

the entire week of holidays were packed. social studies in school on monday, math tuition on tuesday and wednesday, english tuition on thursday, LLTC OT retreat on friday and saturday, and sunday was left for me to finish whatever homework i havent done yet. in any case, the OT retreat was awesome. did the groupings with swee woon and jing han, did the nametags till nearly 1am. then wei kann and mr raymond wong ushered us to sleep. on the beds, it was bloody noisy, ricky kept going around. noisily. morning run, we went to east coast, and there was this FRISBEE TOURNAMENT going on. big, muscualr guys in shorts, and hot girls in shorter shorts. yes. i cant see any other way to actually put it but owell. off to catch a show on tv. good day.

holidays are finally here. PTM yesterday went better than i had expected actually.

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY
to all teachers!

well. today's concert has a lot of room for improvement. the only highlights were jerome's piece with syafiq. leader of the band! and the item by the teachers. that was really hilarious and unexpected too. justina actually went to SJI after school to look for ms mara, who was her ex-form teacher before ms mara returned to SJI. well. yes.

post olympics hangover. damn. its still hanging there. so. as some help. here are 15 HOT athletes, in my opinion, and from the perspectives of others. yes. you'll notice that most of the athletes here are swimmers, especially the hotter few:)) anyway, i'll try to post pictures of them up. regularly. maybe. though i might not use the computer for quite a while till my FYEs are over.

BIRTHDAY, TODAY!

well i guess it could really have been a better day. really. a much better day.

im back from OBS, which was considerably fun. shout out to all of LIVINGSTONE. we rock, literally. corny stuff aside, OBS was overall enjoyable.

Olympics have ended, really sad. And fast; it just sorta whizzed by. USA's 4x400m team clinched the gold, so i guess wariner still got a gold medal in the end. and i just realised, that stephanie rice, that aussie swimmer, is HOT. london 2012 olympics, four long years to go. sad.

chinese prelims tomorrow. i get to miss a couple of lessons tomorrow, till around 12.45pm, at which ill head for math class. anyway, wish me luck for the prelims.

finally, to all who wished me an awesome 25th aug,
THANK YOU((:

many thanks to:
the family and relatives.

with that aside. thanks to:
mr raymond wong, james, justina, rovik, bryan ong, tej, haqqim, francis, nut, wei liang, derek, wei xuan, sandra, myles, aaron, martin, melissa, vanessa, daryl, and everyone else who ive missed out,

kindred. that was really good. beijing people performed! woot. jing han and his crew were awesome. the domino effect guys; luke, jerome, francis, tim, gabriel, zeus, selva, jem, bryan, were fabulous, especially considering the fact that they did up an item in such a short span of time. franciso! jerome dass, syafiq, andre. one last breath! that was obvously the item that stole the show. kindred was fantastic. im gonna come back in two years time for the next one. without a doubt.

ncc ord barbecue. 1st august. it was alright, can't say i really thought it was a success, but hey, it's a good start:)

2 aug. lltc b organising team meeting. lots of people there whom i know.which is good. mr raymond wong gave keith and i a lift to la salle centre, but not without some breakfast at macs, which HE PAID. i know many ots there, madea couple of new friends. ots. brandon chang, keith, goutham, eugene from sps, max, jeremy tang, akira, muthu, theodore, jing han (the npcc csm), swee woon, danish, maria, hannah, and many many more. even ricky's an ot once again. yes. i'm in admin with swee woon, its more of a behind the scenes job, so people who are going for lltc b, you won't really be seeing much of me.

BEIJING. really fun. good friends, good teachers, good tour guides, good food, GREAT shopping. its was a heck of a lot of fun. pity it ended so quickly.

LLTC. Yay Brennan. Thanks to everyone in the group. Ricky and Iggy, Lionel and Johnston, Rovik and Jeremy Tang, Muthu and Justin, Si Jie, Malcolm and Eusebius. Best group. Most punctual for every shower. First in showers. well that is a great achievement i say. LLTC was one of the best camps I've ever gone to, and i don't say that often. fantastic. the last day was disheartening. seriously. depressing i tell you. yet another thing that passed too quickly.

FUNERAL. went to Archbishop Emeritus Gregory Yong's funeral with the school on 2nd July. it was saddening. and depressing. so many people cried. depressing, changes the whole mood. Rest in peace.

156 Anniversary Parade is tomorrow!!! Woot. can't wait. guard of honour i say. Haha.

I've got so much stuff to do. prepare for Chinese 'O' level oral on the 8th, do the math project with Howard, Gabriel and Jordan. that's due next week. which i think isn't very possible. heck. first training's next week. and I'm out of a job. slack off i guess.

sigh. social studies. fuck it. I'm fucking beat. gotta sleep. but not before finishing, obviously. good day.

oh. i overheard ian telling marcus this during literature today. shakespeare, i salute you. you are a pure genius. pity you died so early):

terence fong: "helena risks her virginity when she follows demetrius. what else does she risk?"
marcus: "her safety."
ian: "no luh. she risks getting aids."

other than that, its been a pretty odd day. weird incident at the mrt station today when i was going home with alistair. there was this old man who kept mumbling gibberish loudly to himself. im not sure if alistair noticed, but hey, it was so obvious. oh and at yio chu kang mrt, there was this old fogey trying to speak to a metal railing. i dunno. it was pretty darn freaky and weird at the same time. it was just odd. simply. the best part today was when i was playing sudoku during chinese, which is practically pretty damn useless. wang wen gave us this summary to do from an assessment book, which answer key she so generously left in the book. so in the end, i spent almost the entire period playing sudoku and talking, and when there was about 5 mins left, i just copied the answers. simple. oh yes. marvellous achievement today. im going for LLTC in june. so cool. totally awesome.

i have nothing else to say. good thing its labour day tomorrow. public holiday. then again, sigh. off to mug. good day.

vienna: this discussion is a DISASTER. one of the worst i've ever heard in my life. (walks off)

i went drama night today, and suprisingly, it was really cool. seriously. it might be a little short for a play, but it was a great plot, great acting, great humour. basically great fun. anyways, you should have seen what james wore. he looked like a waiter. and that's just the start. before the play began, wei liang and i spammed james' ipod's battery. it became from full to half, and then just a quarter was left. uber funny. after the play, we began calling martin 'chunky' cos he looked chunky in the school blazer that he was wearing. it was really hilarious.

chemistry practical nearly got me screwed. mr chen was elaborating on what to do and by the time he had done so, yash and i kinda completed the experiment. i rushed back to class, chenged into no. 4 and when i reached the part bench, some people from my class were still doing the practical. mr chen saw me and he was surpirsed i guess, and he asked me where i was going, and i replied that i was going for shooting. then he asked this really awkward question about who the best shooter in the school is and i was stumped. luckily, he just smiled and walked off.

live range was much easier compared to IMT, but it was much messier, nosier and longer. but overall it was pretty darn awesome. the recoil rate's really high, and the gunpowder smells awful. the bullet casings burnt the fingers. the worst part's that we left school at 12.45pm, reached there around 1.10pm, and left at 7.10pm. we wasted six hours there. totally dumb. i scored 8 over 10, which isn't marksman, but its certainly better in comparison with the IMT scores. we were then sent by bus to yio chu kang mrt station, and we were released there. of course, i walked home. the best part is that ashleigh was beatboxing and dancing on the bus. uber lame, but really comical. i laughed so hard tears welled up in my eyes. uder funny:) off to study. a math trial test on statistics tomorrow. and off to watch a couple of episodes of la ink. good day.

HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY NICHOLAS LIAW:)

it's my older brother's official birthday today. but saturday's celebration was still a celebration. lol. ok. with that out of the way, happy founder's day! especially to the all the lasallian brothers. it's founder's day today! yay. sure. like i care. wait. i do. we ended school early today, and that's the precise reason why i'm blogging at 11am today. i wanted to stay back to watch the founder's relay after school, but it got suspended due to a lightning alert. so. too bad.

oh. i did offertory for mass today, with leonard. basically, it was pretty stupid. i went into the hall this morning, and i was seen by adeline tan, who asked me if it was alright if i did offertory. my first reaction, like always, was simply, wtf. then i said yes. so she asked me to find a lower secondary guy to do offertory with me. so i agreed. great huh. but in the end, everything turned out pretty alright. so i'm awfully glad it passed quickly. special thanks to leonard for agreeing to help me:) kudos to you leonard, you seriously ROCK.

training today was pretty funny. i had project scubilion before that, so i came late for training. in case some of you have no clue what project scubilion is, its this project where we go to help the less fortunate. ok. so i'm kinda helping the rainbow centre at balestier, where the kids there are physically disabled or autistic. damn, my first impression was wow, their facilities are pretty darn awesome. there's like a swimming pool. for young kids. craziness. but the thing is that i found that i had scubilion on the day itself, so i was pretty clueless. yea. and in the end, i came back at 3.45pm. late for training. the entire company went out for some walk, so i decided to help bryan tan, bryan huang and john to do admin stuff. we packed these sji newsletters into envelopes, to be sent to sji old boys. at the end of the day, i think we packed nearly a thousand envelopes. cool eh. nice. there's word that we'll be in charge of training next week. not sure to what extent it is true. bye for now. math homework calls.

today was a pretty slack enrichment day. for those of you who have no idea what is enrichment day, its a day in which learning is conducted outside the classroom. so in my previous post, i said i was gonna watch a hindi movie. turns out there were many people i knew there. jeryl ong, kannan, gareth, faraz and shaanjit. the movie title is BLACK. amazing i tell you. its about this blind and deaf girl, and her parents hire a teacher for her to teach her how to survive in a modern society. its supposedly really touching, but we didn't finish the film as we had to prepare our presentation. i teamed up with gareth and faraz, and we came up with some retarded poem. in the end, we picked the scholars presentation, and we kinda joined our poem, shaanjit's group's analysis and the scholars project. the thing is that our presentation, compared to other groups, was BORING. and sucked like hell. other groups had powerpoint presentation, skits or performances. and ours just rambled on and on. whatthefuck. great huh. we were plain pathetic.
