For the past few days, I just feel like taking my Dad's first and old guitar to play my favourite instrumental song by Bob Dylan. That is really what I call classic. I think I did mention, how much I love Avril's version.
Tuning the guitar by ears and I was so afraid of breaking the strings again which I did a few years back and had a phobia of tuning guitar. (My Dad blew up) Okay, I was exaggerating.
Okay, I know it made seem to people that it is just a simple song with only 4 chords but it killed me. I've got a blister on my middle finger right now. I seriously strum like a moron. Maybe, I need half a year to do that song. Hmm... I still want to do Runaway. That will take another one year. Oh gosh...
Speaking about music, my new drum teacher is great. It all depends on me now.
I'm back to share with you what happened last night that blown me away. She is Gwen Stefani! The Sweet Escape Tour Live in Singapore Indoor Stadium!
I'm really really shocked when some of my friends said "Gwen Stefani? Who is that?" I nearly fainted. Anyway, I'm really proud to attend her concert, I'm a huge fan! Woohoo! I took 105 shots at her concert and most of them were like so blur. I'm shaking with excitement!
My heart pounding madly back then.
Oh right, first stop; Security. No fluids allowed. Anyway, my sister and I entered with only one peanut pancake in our stomach. We were late for the concert but luckily, Gwen Stefani's concert started late too, so we didn't miss out anything.
Lights out and the crowd was cheering. Spotlight following her dancers.
Okay, her dancer was caught by the police. Yup, yup! That was the introduction to the Sweet Escape!
This photo was really blur but I like the colourful dresses of her dancers. They are grooving to Yummy!
The video taken by the Ricoh camera. It was blur partly because that it was of poor focus and the fact that we were quite far from the stage. I love the Cha-chinggg... Cha-chinggg...
The magnificent sea of people.
She's got the crowd going. Everyone went wild. Totally awesome!
What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting What you waiting for!?
Seriously, I was screaming like a mad women. My sister and I stood up and dance during most of the songs. The Caucasians at the back were really wild too!
Everyone cheered so loudly when she dashed up to the central stage. She's getting closer and closer to my seat!
She shocked me when she dashed up the stairs! Even closer now! She was surrounded by security guards as well as the crowd. Oh man! When I took a clear shot, she turned away. By the way, she's in the center of the picture. Back to it, she was just three feets away and I stood on someone else's seat to get the shot! I should have shouted "Gwen! You're a hot mum!" Maybe she would have turned around and come closer and I could have got a better shot. Hmm...
Oh yeah, she was singing "Cool" and the crowd was like "I know we're cool!"
Anyway, she ran to the east and I got another shot.
There she was and the crowd was armed with cameras. Spotlight was following her and it made it easier for us to take her pictures! Supposedly, no photography is allowed in the stadium but no one really cared.
The concert goes on when she sang her songs in Love.Angel.Music.Baby and The Sweet Escape. There was encore and she introduced her band and dancers to us. I was so high!
Okay. Her crew. Gwen Stefani is really sincere and appreciative which no doubt is the reason that brought her really far. She even dedicate her song to cute little Kingston! What a nice nice mum! I love her!
The end. There were Gwen Stefani T-shirts and posters on sale outside the stadium and there was a huge jam. The concert kept replaying in my head because it was just so memorable, so unforgettable.
It was just so amazing that people all around the world are connected together through music. The music of our souls. She came from California and her crew from different parts of the world such as Japan. It was just so much for the night and I was really reluctant to leave. The concert was much so much more than words, an undescribable event.
I nearly doze off during lectures today and two friends and I still need to go down to Singapore Polytechnic to take pictures of the West Zone Superstar rehearsal. I was really really tired. It was fun though.
Fun, fun people. Fun, fun life.
Procrastinating yet again but thanks for everything. My life is cool.
Went Distubia-ing with Sheryl and Shimin. Oh my god, I got the showtime for Lido Cineplex instead of Jurong. In the end, we had to spend some time in the arcade. It was so much fun though.
We went for dinner then into the theater. It wasn't as scary as I heard but it is still quite scary. Okay, there were great observations of the neighbourhood and Kale got a cool bedroom. After the movie, we went for another round of arcade games and went home.
Grand opening at Singpost. It was impressive but it sets me in a dilemma. I hope things will turn out fine for me. I wonder why there are so many problems in my life.
I finished watching the complete korean drama, The Vineyard Man plus the duet done by them on Youtube. The drama is damn hilarious plus meaningful. Since I am so free this few days, I decided to watch the DVDs at home, the shows I didn't catch in cinemas.
Another great comedy by Jack Neo.
Artificial women. It's a touching one.
In the evening, I had more fun together with my family and relatives at Marina Bay for steamboat. Food and more food. Actually, it was mainly meat but I had some vegetables and tofu to keep me healthy. Oh yeah, I met Felicia and Jacqueline there too.
Uncooked.
Cooking.
Cooked.
Take a second to look around. Enjoy the lovely Thursday.
There we had one round of bowling. Woo! Everyone was like so professional but it was tyco la. We cheer and scream like some lunatics. It was so much fun. Then I notice that we attracted quite a lot of attention from the crowd.
My cousin. Steady man.
We took so many balls. I think eight playing.
Buzzing.
On the way home, there were so many strangers that attempted to get a free ride from us because Uncle was driving a mini bus with a few empty seats. We rejected because not shun lu. There were so many people that the bus stop can't hold them. Some were standing at the grasspatch and some on the curb and they are really really desperate to get home.
There were 6 cars that crashed together and form a straight car chain at the highway which caused a serious traffic jam! Then, we were like taking note of all the car plate numbers so that the adults can buy 4D. Hmm... Then, the rest cracked some lame jokes and we guess some hokkien riddles. The people are seriously jokers.
Went home and eat more. Huge appetite.
Aunt brought some sushi.
Still learning to read hangul to sing that song. Happy 42th Birthday Singapore!
The services really work for me. The seminar by Sy Rogers and all that makes me realise the true meaning of life. Perhaps, my old self is gone and I'm trying to be better.Though self-control is a really challenging task for me, I'll try to. Thanks for your forgiveness. You bring warmth and hope.
Talking about common test, it finally ended. Last minute work don't help and the last paper is disatrous. I guess they are all out to ensure that only the cream of the crop can make it for full exemption. Anyway, they had to.
My attempt to study was not exactly successful. The korean drama, The Man of The Vineyard and more...
After drumming, met up with Jun Jie and the rest. I got a new drum teacher but the studio remains the same.
Anyway, I got to meet new friends like Alicia, Josh and many many more at the Heart. The people are so friendly and crazy. Got to know the japanese phrase; You got polio. Hahahaha. The place was like a clubhouse in the dark. Africans are so hot!!! AhhHHHWWOOO!!! They kept popping and slapping themselves. Hahahaha. I love the moonwalk and bodywave!!
I was so late for dinner at Orchard. So many birthday kia today and we kept singing and singing... In the end, I ran back to the MRT station with Jun Jie and Alicia. My hair was so damn messy and I look like a mad women.
Then, I met up mum and sis and ate at Ajisen. The reason was because mum had a 50 dollars voucher and we can spend at there. When mum was footing the bill, the lady said it was 50.05 dollars and mum just gave her 5 cents. Hahahaha. So funny.
Then we had Korean ice cream and went home. Just a week more to common tests and I seriously have not done any revision. I did not even touch homework for two consecutive weekends. Where's my sdsm? Work hard, work hard.
Mum bought a 7.1 megapixels digital camera. Hurray!
After missing the Montage competition, I thought I would missShots@Home too. Luckily, 3 members are allowed to take part in the competition. (supposedly 4 in a group)
It was a 12 hours photography competition and we went around Singapore trying to take some nice shot but it didn't quite work out for me.
Is there a grammar mistake?
The 1960s
ART
Some building.
Okay, here comes the bizarre part. I didn't it notice until Yixin told me that.
Oh my gosh. The tallest building on the left was flat. The sky was like a sheet of patterned paper. Either it was designed by a really artistic architect that enjoys making use of optical illusion or it was just an coincidence. Laughing really hard because it looks so fake but real. Oxymoron.
Then, I went home to have a bath, to wash away the fatigue, before going on a second round to take more shots. My aunt bought some ice cream and I ate one before going out.
Wait a minute.
It is not some.

Wow. That's a lot. I ate two cones yesterday, I don't know about my siblings and parents. Finally, I went back to school to meet Zhiwei and submitted only 2 photos. What a pity. 6 hours for 1 shot!
I forgot to bring my entry proof today! Then, I went to the staff room which is located at the same level as the assigned class and looked for my civics tutor. It was like few minutes before the actual examination.
The funny thing is that I met Yifang there too. Then, my civics tutor was nice enough to print for her. Phew. I knew that something bad was going to happen as my right eyelid was like twitching during the break. I know it is kinda of superstitious but the exact same thing happen during my Geography paper which I screwed up. Unfortunately, many incidents made me believe that it was true, at least for me. I suppose it was said to be the left eyelid told in some grandmother stories but it worked the opposite for me.
I was about to doze off listening to the classical but luckily the teacher woke the class up. Ignition start up. The paper was surprising. One of the listening comprehension storyline during the secondary school days came out. It was the old one on the beef noodle. The one which the son accepts the slices of beef but place it back into his Dad's bowl and made him sound like an old man suffering from senile, not conscious and easily deceived by his son. Haha. Ok, I'm not serious. At least the ending is different.
After that, I met up with Yixin to do homework. Then, we went to Sizzling Ice to buy ice cream from Yifang. The scoop of ice cream on the cone slide down and landed beside the tub.
Probably a 4 room flat and mum said that she reserved the storeroom for me to sleep. I'm a garang guni. Whatever. I'll be like 21 one then, an adult.
After, having a great time playing drum today, I went down for the exhibition in the temporary container room near the playground. It was supposed to be cooling but due to the fact that there was too many people inside, it was stuffy and squeezy.
Then, I went for a haircut with my Aunt. I layered my hair while she dyed and highlight hers. Then, we buy more clothes. She gave me some extra pocket money. Hehe.
Today was the farewell party for the J2s. I saw some new faces and the usual crappy friends. More pizzas. I really shouldn't have added the small packets of cheese. Smells like vomit. Gross.
Then, we watched Final Destination. It was my first time watching it. (Overdued. Yeah yeah. Whatever.)
Bloody hell.
Psychopathic plot.
Nerve racing.
Nice.
By the way, I'd checked my edusave account and I'm left with S$4.25. No more IDP programmes this year.
Shake it off. One more day to Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix.
Chinese 'A' levels oral examination is finally over!
Phew. What was different this year was that I saw a mouse running along the glass door and into the rubbish bin. Eeek! I swear that it is a darn mouse. What on earth is small sized, greyish black in colour, has a long tail and loves garbage? Moreover, I saw it running past thrice. First the cats, then the bats and now a mouse. It's a ZOO.
Do not feed the cat so that it can chase the mouse. Something like a food chain? Seriously, all these weird happenings in the school is kinda of cool. Back to the point; the chinese oral. I'm much more relax after chatting with my friends.
I must say that my conversation skills and techniques did not improve at all. I crapped with the examiners. I just couldn't help myself but turned the whole thing into a joke. At least I said something which makes sense at the start which made feel a little better. Anyway, it was the last time I ever gonna sit for a chinese oral examination. I feel good.
On the way home, walking along the rows of trees, I saw funny people doing funny things. That is what happened when they don't take physics.
Lamo.
I'm really guilty for skipping chemistry tutorial.
I found my Fila green shirt and I wore it for drum class. Everyone else in Singapore was wearing every colour other than green, only a handful did. My mum knows nothing about this Live Earth. She thinks it's a joke.
How funny. I got so irritated when people say they don't care and they live on earth.
AL GORE; Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is the author of An Inconvenient Truth, the best-selling book on the threat of and solutions to global warming and the subject of the movie of the same title, which has been nominated for two Academy Awards.
Isn't it.
Back to the drum lesson, the teacher taught us an easy method to do an open hi-hat and ride on and off bell.
At home, I was sufing the net, trying to make sense of the Autbots game. (Transformer) Then, take part in some MTV contests hoping to win some Fantastic Four, Harry Potter, Fall Out Boy, Die Hard 4.0 or Transformer stuff. I'm so disappointed for not being able to go to Christina Aguilera 'Back to Basics' Concert.
It is so fun watching Smosh's exaggerating and lame videos on Youtube. 7.7.07, New York City. Finally, I went to meet Yixin and Zhiwei at Somerset. Kelvin gave all the part-timers a treat. I had 1 slice of chocolate birthday cake, 2 tiny drumsticks, 2 cups of Pepsi, 3 1/2 slices of pizza and a little ice cream.
On the way home, I have a nice chat with Yixin on human psychology and mindset. Particularly of Singaporeans and Americans. I personally think that we should always follow our heart, not our head when we are choosing our careers. It's all about job and life satisfaction which is far more meaningful and far reaching than material comforts. I guess that's why, people came up with a song called "listen to your heart". Then we met Shijiao and Haoxiang at Jurong East. They returned from some chinese drama thingy. Hmm...
Back at home, we celebrated Dad's birthday and I had some more chicken wings, french fries and satays. Oh gosh, this is too much for the day. Things are really getting out of hand.
The last siginificant event of the day; I got back my progress report. Surprisingly, I passed my GP and chinese! For the first time, I was grinning with satsfaction with an E. I wouldn't have make it if my active partipation wasn't 4.8 out of 5. My mum is going to nag at me for lousy grades anyway but it will make her less pissed. Hopefully.
She don't understand that nagging only irritate not motivate. It is actually all on myself.
I met up with Sheryl and Shimin to watch the Transformer. Sheryl's sister and her friend tagged along.
Another quality film. All the flying, running, shooting... The theatre was filled with laughter and exclamation.
After that, I went home and had to wait outside for 45 minutes because I forgot my keys. No one was at home. Fortunately, I managed to get in before Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban started and we feast. Happy Youth Day.
Finally, the ice breaks. I won't take it too hard either.
I went shopping with mum and sis at OG and we spent a lot and win ourselves a chance to take part in the grand lucky draw. Hopefully, we'll win something. Then, we were suppose to meet bro but he didn't turn up and so we left without him.
There's a 'Chilli Crab Festival' going on, in front of Ngee Ann City and opposite of Paragon. The food there were like ordinary but the combinations are like... Let me give some examples; Roti prata and curry chicken, sweet and sour kang kong sphagetti and satay tortilla. There was of course ordinary food but we chose the extraordinary ones and drank Whatever and Anything.
It's uniquely Singapore!
Anyway, we went to shop shop shop again and we reached home really late.
School reopened. Yesterday was the fruit bat incident in JJ. I really enjoyed the whole incident. I know I sound mean but it's funny and cruel at the same time. What am I talking about?
Anyway, I'd switched to individual drumming which will commence in August which is suggested by my teacher. Hope everything turns out well. I'm gonna repeat again; my classmates are really nice.
My computer is infected with Trojan and is running very slowly. I'd downloaded more programs like Ad-aware 2007, Active Virus Shield and Kelylogger Hunter but it seems like it can only temporarily remove it and the viruses will be back again. Argh.
Quarantine.
Quarantine.
Last friday night, I'd got nothing to do because I didn't want to study my Organic Chemistry nor do my Maths, so I watched Channel 5 and oh my gosh, it's Ghost Whisperer Season 2 episode 1. I didn't know it was back.
I really enjoy the show and I always had to grasp the cushion halfway through the show, the climax. How exciting. Haha. Then, I will start thinking about life and death before I sleep and imagination will run wild.
I'm not exactly normal. Slammed. I forgot there isn't any door.
7.37pm.
I'd just finished watching all Happy Slip videos. She's hilarious. Great sense of humour and talents. If you haven't, check it out
It's a great way to laugh out loud watching Happy Slip and Hossan Leong before the school reopens. About my computer, my bro solved it already.
Yesterday, I went to Yamaha. There's a guy playing some Pirates tunes with the accoustic guitar and staff packing the shells into the boxes. Many people were scanning around for their favourite instruments. Took a look at the Gigmaker then I noticed that there wasn't suspension and decided to hold on for a little more for more options.
I guess, I had to buy it later after the GST rise to 7%. I really had to wait until the school reopens to sort out my schedule.
Back to the main point, I went to watch movie with Sheryl, her sister and Hui. Ben Grimm and Chris Evans are as funny as ever. I really enjoy the scene when the quarterback slash antagonist was zapped into black charcoal.
I'll be working till this saturday which means that I can make it for the gathering on sunday.
I don't understand why you can only score when you write melancholy, remorseful or immaculate. There's got to be more to it. Reflection isn't the only thing and humour certainly don't work.
History is certainly going to repeat itself.
Chinese makes me so depress.
Can I just say *uck you. *UCK. *UCK. So damnPISSED by this *ucking customer.
I apologise for being so obscene. I'm just too annoyed.
Last night, not many people went for the barbecue. I just feel that something is missing but I don't know what is it. Met up with some old friends and it was pleasant to see them again. As usual, some were very sarcastic but I didn't really mind. I know they are just crapping and playing around.
I was so tired and kept yawning during today's geography lecture. I nearly fall asleep. Geography always make sense to me not like some chim subjects that I can never grasp.
I can't seem to find time to do my homework and project work is left hanging. I think I need to quit my job really soon or I'll end up in a really bad state. I also wanna find time to watch Fantastic Four.
Why can't there be more hours in a day? The stupid time table for next term is not out yet and I can't change my lesson schedule too.
Feel like buying a drumset but the bedroom is too small and I still had to inform the neighbours which is like so troublesome. Anyway, I'm too tired to think about everything. I really need a break and more time...
Went down to school again. I simply feel like pouring acid down my throat to cease the tingling feeling. Kept coughing and no syrups worked. The soups didn't work as well.
I totally forgot about the chinese creative writing until Kee Seng reminded me. I was like rushing through it and kept asking him how to write the chinese words. Finally, I completed it in less than half an hour and placed it in the pigeon hole. Dammit. Sure to fail that one as well but at least it's better than getting a zero.
The final plan was to go down to Bizlink at Bedok. I must say I learnt a lot of things through the programme, information wise only. In terms of application, there is still more to go. I guess the socrastic method did work for me.
Quite.
I used to think that way but it was left on the backstove simmering, until it was brought up again. After that, I completed my reflection and collected my physics file. The teacher actually flipped through my thick notes and wrote comments. Most of them were "Incomplete" or "Checked".
I'll try to work harder. I really want to but sometimes I just can't bring myself to do it. I seriously need some self-motivation.
I attended a talk at Cordlife as well as had a really short tour of the laboratory. I was really bored and exhausted. Anyway, I did learn a lot from it.
I wonder if I should go for the second and third day. Having a really bad cough because of an irritated throat so mum boiled the apple and bittergourd soup for me. Weird combination but it tasted quite okay. Then, I had to drink another bowl of peppermint leaves soup.
I simply love the groovy music played at the department store. Trying to C walk there, can't imagine that.
I'd learned a lot from my workmates especially Andy. They are really nice and friendly people.
Although the Great Singapore Sale is on, it is a weekday and hence not many people went shopping. Then, Gerald came and said he went around measuring people's backside. (Of course those who allow him to do so) It was done out of boredom and then guys were playing around.
He tried to measure Nurul's, Ana's and mine too. Of course he didn't succeed. We are all on our guards. Ana called him a pervert, Nurul said he was childish.
When I was going up by escalator, he called me.
"You really don't want to measure your backside arh?"
Gerald: I helped Jean measure already. Hers is 37. Jean: I'm very proud of my figure.
I must say that they seriously aren't normal and definitely very lively. Work is really fun with crazy people, with them.
Coincidentally, I met Bing Bing at my workplace. She is still wearing the 70s Hush Puppies uniform and she told me that she was working there for one day only. Renovation was going on in OG Albert and I look forward to see the new Menswear section which I once work at.
She told me that Eddy is going to the Ladies shoes and no more bombs for her.
Thanks to Shimin, Eunice and Yixin for spending a bomb for my birthday present. I really like the bag.
^.^
Thanks for the memorable Friday night. I noticed Venus in the sky that Mr Chew mentioned. I guess when you know something, you will keep imagining things like aliens, UFOs and dreams. So unbelievable but it's in my head for the whole day. Ermm...
Maybe, it's true. Maybe not.
The nifty late night movie is so cool. We watched until 1.30am in the morning. The movie is of course Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. I've catch all the episodes of the movies like Harry Potter.
No more buses after the movie and we had to take taxi back home.
I received three special messages very early in the morning. From Sheryl, John and Kee Seng. It's my birthday. Then, I received more birthday messages from Liu Chin, Shi Jiao, Hao Xiang, Sylvia, Xiao Ting and Debbie. Thanks to Kai Shi for wishing me too.
How nice.
I mean I'd been really depressed over the past few weeks though I tried really hard to be cheerful and stuff.
Class 07S24 sent me a birthday card and Hershey chocolate. I really like the card. Most if it was about smiling and staying happy. It is always heart warming to receive cards with sincere messages. Did I mention that my class is a fantastic one? From an apathetic school life, they made me smile by doing crappy stuff. They are really amusing people who brighten up my day from the very first day and change my perspective of schoolling.
I like the birthday song too, though I always feel funny and kinda of shy when people are really really nice to me. Xin Yi and Jesslyn very lame la. Thanks to Yang Ce and Yong En too. My Y.E.S company and manager is buying me a really nice school bag.
I love 07S24!
After school, I met up with buddies in secondary school to collect my certificate as well as to have a chat with Mr Tan. He was really nice to day. He treated us Mcfluffy, french fries and ice milo. Yummy. Oh ya, Yi Fang slip into the pond. Only one leg went in and she had some mud stained on her shirt and skirt. Darn.
Haha. You know I'm kidding. I didn't mean it. ROFL.
By the way, I completed my Inline skating and got a certificate for basic inline skating. I can skate! At least I know how to do an A frame hor.
A big thank you to everyone that made my day. Apart from the hectic school life of taking eight tests this week and failing my GP and chinese composition, everything went smoothly. Thanks to sis for buying me a shirt though I'm really mean sometimes. Almost everytime.
Gotta go. Math test tomorrow.
I'm busy but I still blog anyway. Life has a meaning afterall. From other angles.
"I know I 'd made a lot of mistakes but I don't regret making any of them. Because if I hadn't made them, I wouldn't know how to make things right." (13, 30)
I regret.
I don't like to study but I still go to college. I didn't like sciences but I chose the science stream. I don't like to speak but I had to.
If there is a meaning in life, I think I haven't found one. I do things for the sake of doing it, everything is just a burden. It's a question that kept me thinking but I do not know the solution to it.
I admire those who didn't undergo education but something else. Like street dancing, magic and so on. They were bold enough to take such a huge risk which will perhaps end them up in nowhere. Their infinite love and passion for what they really want and the hard work they put in to make things right really inspired me. On the other hand, it made me feel so small.
"You should not go into music unless it is a compulsion. In the end, all you really have as a center is music itself. Make sure that you have to be with it everyday. If that's true, then you should become a musician." - Michael Tilson Thomas.
I think it applies for everything else. If you dread it, you hate it.
Everythingsucksright now.
Maybe I should put in effort to change. Maybe I shouldn't. I'm not good enough.
I really don't understand. Why do people ask things that they know the person never tell? Everyone have their own darkest secrets.
Today's drum lesson was just playing a simple piece by Raymond O'Sullivan. The score is simply a dead one and makes you fall asleep halfway.
Then, the teacher showed us how to improvise it by adding in the open hi-hat and different fill in.
On my way home, I ran into Jia Hui. I thought some concrete fall on my shoulder but it was actually her pressing on it. My walking style must be so unique that she can identify me from the back. She's meeting the people to celebrate Sylvia's birthday.
I realised that I will have no time to blog in the coming week so, I wish an early HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SYLVIA TAN YANQI and TAN XIAOTING!
Feel like playing harmonica. Feel like singing. Dial 4 please. Ciao
I failed my chinese oral but I passed my physics lecture test. Anyway, I went for the camp.
I took lots of picture around and in the Esplanade. Most of it are just casual shots. Then, we went back to the school and watched a Thai horror film, Shutter.
It's related to photography but that was not the point. It was more on the female ghost.
Then we played the CSI game to find murderer of "Rachel" by taking photographs of the evidences. The hanging of body, fingerprints and the atmosphere... It was actually somewhat similar to my Project Work's idea. It is not unique anymore. Geez.
The following day, we had our breakfast, photograph reviews and interviews for the positions and that was it.
Last night, Aunt, Uncle, cousins, bro and I went to catch the free movie, Spiderman III. My bro and I waited for so long and they finally came.
We got lost.
Again. Never mind that.
At Bugis cineplex, we got the goodies bag (just a small Crispy chocolate, one packet of Oreo and a small bottle of mineral water) and buy some popcorns and drinks in the cinema. Then we went in the theatre. It was complete darkness.
My cousin asked me if I were to be one of the characters in Spiderman, what will I be.
She said she wanna be the Sandman, do wrong things but was forgiven. I wanna be Spiderman, do wrong things, was forgiven plus you forgive people. Erh... Anyway, I really like the gothic look of Peter Parker.
After the movies, we went to the Seven storey to have our dinner. I was thinking that, if I have the time, I can spend all day watching the clouds.
It's a nice day. On the way back, my cousin, bro and I talked from formulae of physics to maths and so on... It reminds me that I failed all my lecture tests. Kinda of exaggerating but it was only two of them. It was enough to make me feel bad for the rest of the week.
More assignments and tutorials to do. Chemistry, Math, Geography and Physics tests coming up.
Worst of all, my Physics 'A' levels SPA is on the coming Friday. "Relax, take it easy. Nothing to worry. Breathe in Breathe..."
I just had some of the 1 kg of chocolate my brother brought home. So chocolatey man! I had to use physics Pressure= Force/Area to break it up nicely. How scientific.
Today was the deadline for the submission of Project Work. A few hours before twelve, my CT was talking about how to write a good PI... I'm like what!!! Don't tell me anything, it will make my PI looks bad. Whatever. It's over and the GPP begins. I still remember what happened last week. The class was dicussing whether we can put a picture in our PI and the teacher said no, because a picture speaks a thousand words and it will be way over the word limit. How funny. In the end, we were allowed to put a tiny little picture but I didn't.
I was browsing Flickr just now and I saw Bob Lee the Jiuhukia. He was a photojournalist and he came to give a talk on photography yesterday. For the first time, I felt that a photographer can really be super rich. A contest's top prizes can be like 1000 bucks to like 15 000 bucks. Tsk tsk. More about the man, he can really take nice pictures and he is funny. He said things which turned out to be jokes but his opinions and ideas are really useful.
My whole body is still aching now after the hellish PC plus the inline skating. I hurt my tailbone. (I must remember to lower my CG before I brake.) Well, at least I learnt how to skate.
I'm half dead.
The worst thing is that there is PC tomorrow. Argh. Slaughter me please. Nah. Out.
I played with Mr. Toms today. Two words - Satisfying.
That's one word.
I finally understood why the stroking are like that. It is because it is just like that. Things go smoothly that way. I was jumping out of class. Too happy that I'd learn something new, more in depth. The pace was just right for the majority. Feel like catching some movie but I can't. When will Matt give me my March pay? Argh. I hate waiting.
How much you put in determines how much you will get in return.
Finally, other school week ended! I'm feeling so happy that I'd finally completed my PI and submitted to my teacher. I wonder if there will be another roof top consultation. Hmm... Quite a few things happened.
I had my first ever Yoga session today.
Basically, I was laughing through the entire session. It was so much fun. I simply just can't understand why some people choose not to go for it when it's all about relaxation of the mind, body and soul. It is compulsory for J1s anyway. I enjoy it more than the fucking physical conditioning. I ran 2.8km this week. Isn't it more obvious that yoga is much more enjoyable? It's not stupid doing some weird positions, everyone is doing it anyway. The yoga class brought me through the math lecture which I had never survived. I managed not to doze off and so does my classmates. How amazing.
Today's drum lesson was so fun. The teacher encouraged us to smash the cymbals and whack the snare drum. My eardrum was ringing when I got outside of the studio. How nice. Then, I went to have some fast food and catch a movie. I decided to watch Freedom Writers because I just happened to see Will.i.am and Common hosting a Freedom Writers show on MTV.
It's a really nice and touching movie. Teachers and students are practically shouting at each other at first about respect and everything else. I think if a student ever do that in Singapore schools, he or she will be send for counselling. Perhaps it explained why foreign students are more expressive.
To think, how many teachers in the world would put so much effort into teaching and understanding the students? To even give them new books and free rides? How rich? Anyway, it's nice.
Today is Good Friday and I went to the temple to pray, together with my family members. I had been feeling so sick since sunday. The reason was for running in the rain without umbrella and then in air-con condition after that. My fever ran high to 39 degrees and I had a 2 day MC. I was afraid of missing out too much in school, so I was only on 1 day MC. To tell the truth, I haven't recover from it yet.
About my drum lesson, my teacher mispronounced my name. The class has 10 students, in which five were male, the other 5 were female, including me. That means we are proportional. Yay. Wait a minute, the teacher was a male. Let's just leave him out of of the picture. I was surprised to actually see some girls wearing skirts to drumming lessons. How weird? I wouldn't have done that. There was an uncle in the class who was so enthusiastic and kept posting questions for the teacher. Then, there was a very young boy in the class and I doubt that he was at least of age 14. (minimum age)
I have totally no idea for my PI because tasks set allows very little ideas to flow in. The deadline is drawing close. I don't think I can survive. Dammit. I'd thought of a theme for my photography project after seeing the beautiful skyline from my kitchen window.
Today was the official gathering of Y.E.S and manager. I lost my way again and had to walk a long long way back to Queensway. Dammit. I'm always the noob, the suay and the drained. Finally, I collected the 9 1/2 Gold Star Trophy for Eunice, the birthday girl.
Then, I met up with Yi Xin and had Long John Silver combo in Fuji Ice Palace. Coincidentally, there was a championship going on in there, by the Singapore Ice Skating Association. I was so impressed by the all the spinnings done by the kids. It reminded me that Inline Skating is commencing really soon. (It sort of like linked up) Shimin arrived later.
When everyone was there, we went for k boxing. At first, it was really boring and kinda of awkward as I don't know how to sing chinese songs. Then, I decided to be a little more enthusiastic, so I tried to sing the songs. The rest also helped me choose english songs. Haha. Overall, it was very fun.

Happily assassinated
It's just Y.E.S
P.S: If you are wondering why Yi Xin was not in most of the photos, it's because she was the photographer.
