As the title of this post says, life seems to be turning for the better for me. That past issue has been put down (don't ask me why so fast, I'm also surprised with myself. Lolz), tutorials are slowly clearing up, DotA games are becoming more and more shiok (especially the Tiny + Techies combo... OH SHIOK~~~), my stamina's improving a lot and i'm able to do more pull-ups as time goes! I think i'll be able to pass my NAPFA test this year... FINALLY~~~ Lolz. I'm not gonna let Nick Tay and Hansen suan me again cos of NAPFA... Haha. ;P Right now, i'm determined to complete 2 things: 1. Play "Drifting" by Andy Mckee; i got the score! Haha. 2. Lose weight to 52kg Yup. I'm addicted to "Drifting" now... Man, it's such a great song; it trashes "Cliffs of Dover" or "Canon Rock" lol. Haha. I hope i can master the song in 1 year, so i can play a solo in next year's guitar concert! Hehehe (ego ego ego! :P). It's all in the mind...Oh yea... Now the weather siao de... 1 minute, it's raining cats and dogs, the next, it's hot like hell... Make me perspire like crazy... I hate global warming... Lolz... Went back to CHS with Jun Yang and Sok Yin. Yes people, i didn't type wrongly; it's Sok Yin. Haha. Collected my 'O' Levels Certificate, had lunch (dang, i really really miss the food there... heavenly~~~...), then chatted with Mr Krishnan and Mrs Goh. Crap la Junyang, you make it sound to them as though Sok Yin is my gf liddat... -_-"... Gonna slap you man, she's not lol... Anyways, had a great time chatting with them, then went some places... Shan't elaborate, if not i'll get another huge scandal on my head... BlehzZz... Ok, might be going LAN with Team Meow tomorrow... It's been quite a while since i last LAN-ed... Ah, the good ol' times...

Alright... The snow-rock has melted down quite a lot... Cleared the PI, GPP, 6 newspaper reviews and the 2 econs mindmaps, so its now just a couple of snowballs... At least the stress is lifted a little... Today, although lesson end early, was quite tiring... Chiong-ed the GP reviews during GP tut and chem lecture... Bio lab lesson today was a break from the normal SPA, but still, kinda drains a bit of the battery... Lolz. Had that S-L workshop after school, and it was kinda boring; i almost went to lalaland... Rather go for guitar lol... Oh well... Oh, i was shortlisted for the exco nominees for the 2nd interview! Haha. Kinda happy when i heard that. :P Ok, now must really be serious for the 2nd interview liao, cannot joke already... After that, went to Subway with Han Wei... This is the 2nd time consecutively i'm going to Subway for dinner; Dinner-ed at Subway with Sok Yin yesterday... Hopefully the carbo will help during the 2.4 run on friday... Cleared my mind today, thanks to Han Wei... He helped me realise what my mistake and/or problem was, and that was " IMPATIENCE". Now i know what to do... The journey back home was even better... Bus 162 is quite empty at night... When i alighted, it was raining a little bit plus some thunder & lightning, so i just walked in the rain anyway... Then the chorus from "Come Clean" by Hilary Duff struck me: "Let the rain fall down, and wake my dreams...Let it wash away, my sanity...'Cause I wanna feel the thunder, I wanna scream...Let the rain fall down, I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean..."Feels kinda nice when you've just put down part of something that you've been carrying for some time, especially under the cool rain... And yup, what she told me, it's right. Just so damn right... Just finished a good game of DotA, where Team Meow was experimenting with some cool combos... Well, it was a good game... So yea... Now, off to do some work...

I'm beginning to have strong cravings lately... The strongest of all is to jam... Maybe i'm listening too much of Blurry and Ocean Avenue (acoustic)... I feel like jamming some of Linkin Park's songs too, especially Somewhere I Belong... I keep thinking of drowning myself in the music while jamming, that feeling is just so good... I wanna play badminton! 5 hours at one go! Heez... I'm really starting to enjoy PE lessons... I used to hate them, partially because I used to fail my 2.4 run and always spent PE lessons running while i see my classmates joga and stuff... For some reason, I find AJ's PE quite shiok, especially conditioning, as long it doesn't involve running 8 rounds round the track. Maybe also cos i'm finally able to do some pull-ups, and that motivates me quite a bit... :P That Alpha Programme thingy starting to bug me a lil... The teacher-in-charge really mastered the art of psycho-ing people... Initially wanted to withdraw from the AP, but kena psycho by him, having second thoughts now... BlehzZz... Alright... Off to work... ___________________________________________________________________ "When the paper's crumpled up, it can't be perfect again..."- Linkin Park, 'Forgotten'

Today was AJC Family Day, but i only saw only a handful of families, and all of which are families of the teachers... Lolz. Went to school, deco-ed our booth... As always, prepared stuff always fails us while impromptu things always trash the prepared things. Modified our game a little bit to make it more challenging, but i beat the game anyway. Haha. Oh by the way, A nthony, if you're seeing this, sorry about today... Wasn't really feeling good... Paiseh... Anyways, Amazing Hunt was a bit... Erm... Ok lah, see the councillors, house captains and cca heads embarrass themselves, a bit funny. :P Today's weather was just wrong... The sun shone as though it had not shone for months... The geographic principal of wind moving from an area of high pressure(low temp) to low pressure(high temp) can really felt in just the AJ Square between the shaded areas under the tent and the unshaded areas... Phew, lucky AJ PE shirt is dry-fit... If not my shirt will really be soaked... But we(the guys) still went nuts and went to do pull-ups and the obstacle course at midday anyway... Got a bit dehydrated, and a bit sunburnt too, but oh well, i need the tan. I don't wanna be a xiao bai lian! Lolz. The AJ Idol finalist played today... The vocalist were pretty good (at least the ones which i actually heard as i passed by the stage)... But the bands really C.M.I.... Guitar amps either not on or never set up properly; lead singers are not say no standard, but a bit sub-standard; drums too soft; forget lyrics or parts to play; some even getting zi high on stage without playing their parts properly! Oh man... But i gotta give credit to the bassists though, they're alright. Lolz... I think one of the major problems is the AVA... Can a council nominee please do something to improve their equipment??? When the event ended, half of the class went to the new Macs with the drive-thru... Quite a nice place, quiet and cooling; but the day is just too darn hot, so the coolness and the hotness cancel each other out... This is the kind of weather that make me miss those good ol' green berms of CHS more than ever... After lunch, we all went to amk library to do our various GPPs... Dang it man, PW turns me OFF... Spent like about 1 - 2 hours on it, then we all packed up and me, Kelvin, Sok Yin and Keet Yeng went J8 to have dinner... Chit-chatted till about 9pm before making our way home... Told them some stuff that i've kept bottled inside for some time, and now i feel slightly better... I know i can trust them to not talk about it to anyone... Yup. Phew... Now damn tired... I think i'm gonna take a short power nap later and chiong homework till about 2am before i go lalaland again... This is what i gotta do during what's left of my weekend: 1. GP- 6 newspaper reviews - 1 blog entry 2. PW- PI (2nd draft) - GPP 3. Biology- Enzymes tutorial essay questions - Mindmaps 4. Chemistry- Chemical Energetics II tutorial 5. Maths- Summation tutorial - Functions test(which became a homework... -_-) 6. Economics- 2 mindmaps (Labour Market + Determinants of Supply & Demand) For the first time in my schooling life I actually felt real stress...

Phew... Thursdays are freakin' long days (it ends at 5.15pm); almost all the subjects are there on thursdays... Real taxing, and i'm starting to feel the toll on my body... Dunno how long more can I tahan... The snow-boulder on my table had melt significantly, but its still quite a significant piece of snow-rock... In it is one super irritating PW... My cousin got lucky; there wasn't such a thing when she graduated from AJ about 9 years back... Oh well, government say must do, do we have a choice? Oh yea, Mazda RX-8 is a nice car. And i wanna learn thai boxing.Ok, that was very random. Lolz. ;P The guitar exco interviews were on yesterday... I think i forgot to turn off the chs smoke generator during the interview, cos i was crapping all the way... Holy XI GUA! That's not good. Haha. The questions that Wei Quan and Grace asked me were like so... Dunno how to say, but its the kind of questions that i really hate to answer... Its like what Jing Cheng said last year, "Wth man! It's like you're S-ing your own C lah!" Well, now I just hope that i make it through; at least that's one less stressful thing. Yup. Really looking forward to the OBS camp in June... First time, so i'm excited to see how it turns out, I hope i'll be able to get a nice tan over there. :D Ok, being random again. Lolz. Anyways, recently, i've taken a liking to moderately-paced songs, with a pinch of emo-ness in it, not too much... Drowning in it, clears my mind, relaxes the soul... Feels good, keeps me from thinking too much about certain things... Alright, gotta go meltdown some of that snow-rock on my table now... _________________________________________________________________ "嘲笑的风, 高唱的离别, 我却听不见..."- Tank, '千年泪'

Phew... Yesterday and today are good days. Haha. Tiring, but good. :) The AJ Choir concert at the Esplanade was on last night. So we ushers left school early and went to be S.K.W.s (sai kang warriors)! Haha. That place, especially the concert hall, brings back fond memories... "Elegance la' Esplanade"... The once-annual CHS concert... I still remember us all so nervous at backstage during the performance itself... I was slightly more nervous, for i had to be the conductor of 2 songs... Whoooooooo... That feeling, was just sensational! I still remember i had to rush to backstage to change my blazer as the CHSCO was next... Haha, that was fun! :P Anyways, back to yesterday... Well, we all changed into our blazers and stuff (can someone who is running for the 24th student council PLEASE change the blazers??? if you can catch my drift...), and went to earn our keep of CIP hours. Haha. Well, the entire thing was kinda tiring, but it was fun... Sort of. Heez... Reached home and collapsed on the bed after that, and i've got no choice but to resort to the " Diffusion Technique" for bio test today... Which brings me to my next story. :) Today is a whacky day. Bio test today. Went in without knowing half of the topics tested. Guess what... The questions were so retarded... The answer to part (a) can be found in the question of part (b)... And this happened for a few questions... -_-"... And as usual, the 5 CHS guys in my class including are putting our smoking skills to the test, and i can tell you, our papers went up in flames. Lolz. (CHS guys would understand what i'm saying... For those of you who dunno the term "smoking", well, i dunno how to explain. But it has nothing to do with cigarettes and lighters. :P) After school, went to do make-up PE with Jun Yang. Supposed to do 2+8 rounds... But we told the PE teacher and went to do our own customized PE. Shiok lol. Own time own target, and we had almost the whole track to ourselves. Haha. After that, we went to eat Subway... Subway just rocks la... :P __________________________________________________________________ Was just reading Friendster's horoscope... And this is what i found... "A damaged relationship is on the road to repair today, and the two of you are becoming more compatible than you ever were before! This is definitely a reason to celebrate, but try not to get too enthusiastic too quickly -- doing so could be dangerous. There are two people involved in this situation, and you both need to stay on the same timetable. Slow and steady wins the race, and it ensures that a stronger relationship will develop."This is a perfect example of the 10% of readings that are just so untrue... Haiz... What a joke...Hmmn... I seem to be sub-consciously avoiding xx these few days... I dunno why, but i suddenly feel that i've suddenly become really small; either that or the world just got bigger... I really need to find some time, find a nice quiet spot and think things through. Thoroughly... Haiz... If only Singapore had some really tall and windy hills... _______________________________________________________________ "Just so confused about it...

Ok, I've been playing too much le, and i just realised this morning that my tutorials and stuff are all snowballing. Now, that's not really a good thing, right? Lolz. I think i better do some mind reshuffling, and start to defrag my head... If not the snowball will become an avalanch... Haha. I told myself, "Ok, friday, saturday and sunday, no more than 6 games of DotA...". Guess what. Just friday alone i played 4, and another 3 on saturday... Total 7 games liao... Lucky today i control, 0 games... So far... And i have bio test on tuesday, plus it'll be impossible to study tomorrow... Holy XI GUA~~~!!! Now i know how it feels to be really stressed up... Procastination really kills... So I think i better go melt down some of that snow-boulder on my table now... And maybe collect the water tomorrow... Lolz, the irony... What a joke..._________________________________________________________________ "我和我最后的倔强, 握紧双手绝对不放..."- 五月天, '倔强'Now i also know how it feels like... And yea, i know...

Today damn heng... Before the bio lecture, everyone was studying bio... Me and the chs guys in 15/07 were like using the good old diffusion technique to cram the stuff into our heads during GP tutorial... Then came the lecture... Guess what. NO TEST! Phew... More time to do my mindmaps then... Guitar after school was pretty alright... Got a new score to practice, and as usual, I was allocated to Guitar 1. Lolz. The song, well, was quite tricky. Was supposed to teach the group members to play the song, but in the end i spent the whole time sight-reading and playing on my own. Well, at least they all know whats the basic tune. Yup... Next week guitar exco interview... Saw the long list... Stress sia... Time to go get my mind back into my head..._________________________________________________________________ "But it ain't no lie, bye bye bye..."- N'Sync, 'Bye Bye Bye'you're right... i understand... still friends, ya? :)

Ok...These two days were filled with workshops and talks... Had the Resilience talk yesterday. The speaker was quite interesting, and i've come to a conclusion about him : He's one super lucky guy... Went home, and as usual, duty calls and i find myself in front of the computer for quite some time. Lolz. Today, we had our various workshops, but before that, we had a little time out for project work discussion. Dang, pw is so boring... Is it really necessary??? Blehzzz... I got my group to settle the stuff fast, and then after that it was a TCSS session; Jun Yang and Jenard went around cam-whoring, the guys went out to get some hotdogs, blah blah blah... Then the guys, including me, went to train our pull-ups. We did quite a few, plus inclined pull-ups and push-ups... And we did somemore when we went back into our homeroom. Lolz. After that, we went around trying to do that one-inch punch... Oh i know that punch all too well; my good senior Wilson liked to perfect that skill on me about 2 years ago, and of course, i've learnt a great deal about it from him. Lolz. We then digressed to a little martial arts. Haha. I remembered a so-called " Deathblow" from Fight Science aired on NGC a few months back... Its a kind of punch related to Ninjitsu (dang i wanna learn Ninjitsu. Lolz, ok, that was random. ;p). So i wanted to try it out, and Kuan Teck happily volunteered to be my dummy. Heez. I think i accidently either did that punch correctly or i struck too hard, cos' whatever happened, it made his chest hurt for the rest of the day, even though he was holding Jun Yang's pillow to cushion it... (Sorry Kuan Teck!!! I didn't mean it! ;p) Attended the Vocal Percussions & Beatboxing workshop by Peter Huang with the guys. It was quite interesting, except for the fact that we didn't really got to learn actual techniques, so yea, was a little bit disappointed... But he's good, real good at it. Yup. Alright, i think i better go... Bio test tomorrow, and i haven't touch a single thing...

I suddenly find myself in a tight spot... I don't have the courage to ask, for fear that i'll fall deeper... But i really wanna know... An answer is all i need, but i just haven't mustered up enough courage to ask... Or rather, i think i've lost my courage... I'm drifting, further and further away...either way, whether the answer is good or bad, i'll try to to understand and think things through... if its really bad, then i won't ask you anymore, and i hope we'll still be friends... :) ... ... ...

Time seems to fly so fast nowadays... Then tutorials are piling up faster than usual... Then suddenly got this family day proposal thing to do... Sianzations... Lucky monday and tuesday got no lessons, if not i'll just drop dead... But i doubt i'll finish half the work by then... Lolz... Hmmn... Pretty much looking forward for the OBS camp in June... And i've got the craving for DotA and Haagan Daz (whatever the spelling is...) ice-cream. Lolz. Ok, that was random. :p Oh, Linkin Park's new album, " Minutes To Midnight", was just released not long ago! Their new look reminds me of U2. Lolz. Woooooo~~~ Itching to buy their new album, but i guess i'll wait a little longer for them to add some more goodies into the album, like they always do. Haha. Now I wonder when will Nickelback's new album be released... __________________________________________________________________ "I need to hear you say..."- Nickelback, 'Far Away'

The Guitar Ensemble + Harmonica Band Concert @ AJ last night was a success! Everyone played well, and even though there were minor minor hiccups here and there, all went well and we all had a great time! The next big thing coming up will be the SYF Central Judging for the Guitar Ensemble... Hope they do well and bring back what they deserve!Well, when there're good things, there were bad ones too... First of all, Junyang and me didn't make it though the auditions... At first we thought, "Ok... Competitions kinda tough anyway... Nevermind lol...", until we heard from one of our friends running for council that they kick out all groups with choir members... We were like, wth?! If that's true, then it'll be freakin' unfair lah! If they let trackers run during sports day, why can't they let choir members sing in AJ Idol??? In my opinion, it doesn't make much sense, does it? Not very smart of them sia... Not very smart... Then there's the thing i heard the day before... It haven't left my mind ever since... I tried not to let it affect my performance in the concert, but maybe it slipped out a little... I just hope I get an answer soon, be it good or bad, at least I'll know by then... _________________________________________________________________ "Do you know, that everytime you're near...

Today's AJ Idol auditions went pretty alright... Like all CHS guys, we follow the tradition of smoking through the whole thing (smoking in chs terms = crapping). Let's just hope we get into the finals now... Tomorrow's the joint concert by AJ Guitar Ensemble and Harmonica... Sianz, never bring my concert attire today, so tomorrow i'll be carrying a lot of things to school and around school, PLUS my guitar, cos the guitar room won't be opened... So i guess i'll go tag it at the council room then... Heard about something today... For some reason, i felt so lost at that time; my mind was blank, totally white... On the way home, I felt so lifeless, coupled with this heavy feeling in my chest... One half of my head says, "I told you so...", while the other half says, "Chill, it might not be from a reliable source... It ain't over till its 'directly from the source'..." Haiz... Terry Toh, why did you get involved in all these... Now you feel the sting, don't you? Dumbass... Haiz... Hopes... What a joke... ___________________________________________________________________ "And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not...

"Number 16, Gong Jiao Zhong Xue, Catholic High School... ... ... GOLD WITH HONOURS!""WWWWHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~!!""GONG JIAO!!!""OI!!!""GONG JIAO!!!"
"OI!!!""GONG JIAO!!!"
"EH BAH!!!"CHSCO GOT GOLD WITH HONOURS FOR SYF CENTRAL JUDGING 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!!Woooooo~! Damn happy... Damn proud of my juniors... So damn shiok... Well done guys, very well done. Went to SCH to support them, along with friends from the same batch and even seniors... They were the first school of the group to perform... The moment I saw the way they stepped onto the stage with their heads held high. Its like saying, "That Gold with Honours is OURS!". Heard them do their thing, and I can safely say they didn't let me or anyone else down. One word to describe them : Sensational. After that, we all went back to CHS, and we were so high till the juniors went to "rape" the current president and some other guys... Shan't say their names here. Hehe. Oh man, seeing them like that, it makes me miss boys' school so much(its not cos' of the "raping" part... lolz.). Oh well, as long its all in the name of FUN. =) Ms Leong gave us a treat! Went to Secret Recipe. We all yum seng softly, then Tawan keep saying " jian ruo, jian ruo, kan zhi hui..." (translation: decresendo, decresendo, look at conductor...). Lolz. So funny. Well, anyways, we finally did it. Gold with Honours, 7 years in the making. First time CHSCO entered SYF in 2001, we got a Bronze. We got a Silver in 2003. Then in 2005, which was the year I participated in, we got a Gold. And now, in 2007, we got the Gold with Honours! We steadily made progress, and of 2009's SYF has an even higher award, I have faith that CHSCO will have no problem getting it. CHSCO, ALL THE WAY!!!

Went back to CHS today to see my juniors in CO... Their SYF is tomorrow! Some of my friends from the same batch came down too, namely Vincent, Ming Feng, Shi Hao, Zongxing, and some of my seniors, Qiquan and Alvin... Whoa, their standard is like so much higher than before, I must admit. When I heard the songs that they're gonna play, HOLY XIGUA!! The feeling is just... so... No words can describe it man (ok lah, there's a word in my mind, but its a bit obscene. lolz.)... All i can say is that, if they don't return with a Gold with Honours, the judges SUCK. Anyways, CHSCO!! ALL THE WAY!! YOUR EX-STUDENT CONDUCTOR WILL BE BEHIND YOU ALL THE WAY!!! NOW GO GET THAT GOLD WITH HONOURS!!! AND DON'T FORGET THE GONG JIAO CHEER AFTER THAT! GONG JIAO!!! OOIII!!!GONG JIAO!!! OOIII!!!GONG JIAO!!! EH BAH!!!
