Reality Check...

Hello...wake up...5 weeks to prelims...been getting that the whole weekend...not from my teachers or parents...but from myself...yes, it's true...my prelims do start in 5 weeks...but i dunno what i'm going to do to prepare...i'm stuck for maths...cant even keep up with LAST year's work...then there's econs...i have no idea whether i can understand what's being taught now, much less those which were taught last year...well, at least i'm on top of my game for physics...think it's the only subject which i still have hope in...then there's GP...i think it's hopeless...well, at least that's what my teachers think...they said that my batch is the worst batch ever...but hey...been hearing that every year...but looking back at my Block Test 2 results, i really think i need a wake up call...

in the midst of all this, i've still been having my fair share of fun...oops...hehe...after tuition on saturday, went down to andrew's place for his b'day BBQ...there was quite a crowd...his usual invites of his uncles, aunties and cousins...then there were his classmates, marcus and i...had quite a good time...the food was good...probably because it was i, the master chef who was doing all the cooking as usual while the others just sat back to enjoy the company of their friends...we had chocolate chip ice-cream cake from sewnsens for dessert...then marcus took out the beer...seems that he bought a bottle of carlsberg before he came...as it turned out, only the both of us drank the beer...by 1030, the party broke up and we all headed home...

there was church on sunday...played for the band unofficially...i dun think i wanna continue playing especially during this period...probably stop after i play for the 9am next week...but the problem still remains...who's going to take over? the only guitarists that we have are shelby, tommy and myself...so if shelby and i stop playing due to exams, i dunno whether tommy can cope...that's why i'm hoping that the church does send ppl from lighthouse for those music lessons they were talking abt...went for lunch with ben as usual...then there was the weekly dosage of generals at the usual place...supposed to play for only an hour...ended up playing 2 1/2...crap man...really cant get enough...haha...well, that's the end of another week...another week closed to A-levels...anyway, leave a mark can??

I Hate...

i just hate it...i hate school...i hate maths...i hate physics...i hate econs...i hate GP...i hate those who CONSTANTLY put me down...i got back all my Blk Test 2 results today...got a D E O and a C6 in GP...these results were MUCH better than that of Blk Test 1 which went something like F F O and D7 for GP...when i told my aunt my results, instead of getting the "Well done...you're improving...keep up the progress and i'm sure you'll do well for your prelims, not to mention your
A-levels..." or the "come, let's analyse what went wrong..." that i expected, i got a blasting of "THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!! NUS WON'T ACCEPT YOU WITH THOSE SCORES!!! DON'T EVEN MENTION NUS...SMU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT YOU!!! YOU'RE GIVING EVERYONE THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU ARE DOING EXTREMELY WELL IN SCHOOL BUT LOOK AT YOUR RESULTS!!! THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!! WHY AREN'T YOU ACHIEVING YOUR FULL POTENTIAL??? IT'S ALL THAT CHURCH WORK RIGHT???!!!" that was IT...i really couldn't take it anymore...this wasn't the first time...I lashed back at her in front of my own mum and uncle and stormed out of my grandma's place, slamming the gate so hard that i thought i heard the neighbour's cat give a shriek...i mean like, pls lar...i've already tried my utmost best that i can offer...if these are the results i get then so be it...there is nothing more that i can offer than my best...if u believe that i can do even better, don't yell at me...i just hate it when ppl know that another person has tried his/her best at a accomplishing a DIFFICULT task but end up scolding them for not meeting expectations and worse still, scolding them even though they are approacing the goals that they set for themselves...i believe that the shelling that came from her was unjustified...i feel like demanding for an apology but i know that that will just inflame the situation even worse...i dun believe it...they actually think that i dun give a flying f*** abt my education...but now hear THIS...i do give a flying f*** and i will prove that i CAN pass my A-levels with flying colours...just wait and see...someone please HELP ME!!!...leave a mark...

3 More Days...

i think my blog's getting kinda boring cos nobody has been tagging...sorry guys for the boring stuff...

Friday 18 July:
day started as usual in school...decided not to have make up tutorial with mr chan cos i was tired...however, my tiredness somehow disappeared after i managed to convince ben to go play generals once again...met him at 430 at the usual place and played till 630...went to get a Sub from Subway..but guess who i met there...Mr chan and his gf, Ms HHH...kowz...super coincidental...anyway, we brought the subs back to church where we devoured them while doing BS homework...BS started at abt 8 with Francis taking the helm once again...this time, we talked abt celebrating our gifts, something that we all lack...hope tt we all took back what was discussed cos it was kinda useful...BS finished at abt 10...went to eat prata with my bro and luke after that...then we took NEL...and another coincidence...we met Mdm Ohelers, our previous primary school principal...has been abt 4 yrs since we last saw her...cant believe that she still recognised us...maybe it was becos we were called to the office one time too many...haha...

Saturday 19 July:
totally slacked off today....didnt do much except for lunch at KFC and my hair cut...slept the rest of the day off...then i dunno what my brother doing...calls me at midnight on sarah's phone telling me to leave the key in the shoe-rack outside...come on lor...what the heck is he doing out so late??? dunno where he got influenced to do all this gallavanting so late in the night?...heard that he got blasted from my mum when he got home...really give up hope liaoz...to whoever is doing this, pls stop it...i dun want to see him become a rebel at home...

Sunday 20 July:
woke up at 7 after being exposed to bright light after sean decided to come in and get his clothes...left at 730 and got to church at 845 but not before going to LJS to get breakfast...their Texas toasts aer really good..should go try...once again, band prac couldnt start on time cos the sunday school was using it again for the missions month programme...so in the end we only had 10 mins to practice the songs...and frankly, it was kinda bad...sianz...couldnt there be some other arrangement?...class discussion soon followed worship...discussed abt the project...who's-doing-what discussion...finished at 1 and went for lunch with ben, shelby and her norweigan cousin, trine...then we played an hour of pool and then, i followed the 2 girls on a shopping trip while ben went home...walked for a total of 3 hrs and only covered 2 floors!!! it was look-see look-see...however, they spent a bomb at the basement...not going to reveal how much or what they spent on...and i was tagging along, lugging the electric guit like a dead weight....*sigh*...now my legs are totally cramped out...cant move much...*ouch*...sheesh...dunno when my mum's coming back with dinner...starving...k lar...while i starve, go leave a mark...maybe that'll make me feel better...

Time is Running Out...

been super busy lately...having late nights has really restricted me from using the com to blog...well, actually it's becos my bro has been hogging it all the time...dunno what he's doing talking on the phone and using the com at the same time...as far as i know, the only ppl who can multi-task successfully are women...maybe he's one...

Tuesday 15 July:
woke up and got to school anticipating an extremely slack day...and boy was it extremely slack...started off with a single econs lecture...that was followed by a double break...after that, there was physics and maths tutorial...then another double break...it was during one of the breaks that we received news tt there was no PE cos my teacher was involved in the oral exams ie the last period was free...it was also then that we found out tt my econs teacher was on MC...another period down...so after the double GP, i was on my way home, 2 hrs earlier than a normal tuesday...got home and slacked some more on the com till dinner...then it was mugging time...got so sleepy tt i fell asleep at my table at 930...cant believe it man....

Wednesday 16 July:
had a terrible day in school cos i got back my GP marks the first thing in the morning...scored a super low 46...tt's a D7...tho it's a pass, it's still crappy...but look on the bright side...the top student in my class got a 50...the english dept was right...my batch really has no hope in GP...die man...time is running out cos prelims are only 6 1/2 weeks away...how to buck up in time?....anyway, the rest of the day went on with my GP grades struggling for attention in my head...*Argh!!!*...got dismissed at 130 and had a quick lunch cos i needed to report for chinese oral...think i screwed it up kinda bad..couldnt read a couple of words from the passage...then the conversation was kinda crappy cos i had to ask the teacher to help me with some words...die man...looks like another 6mths of studying chinese...but when i stepped out of the hall after that, i was kindas grateful tt the oral was done and over...proceeded to LT1 for SFC...not many ppl were there...wonder why...anyway, i first signed up to be a DJ for the coming Christian Missions Week(CMW)...CMW is actually a week that my school dedicates to spend time to spread the good news...i believe that this is an event tt is unique to my school...kinda sad cos there are many many many ppl out there in other schools who dont have the opportunity to hear the gospel...so thank you, God for this opportunity...pray You can help me be an effective way of conveying your good news...we dedicated the rest of SFC time, almost 1 hr, to prayer for CMW...i tell you, praying with many christians, all of different dinominations, is very very powerful...and yes, the spirit was really there all the time...could just feel him there, listening to all our prayers...i believe tt he really wil answer...SFC finished at abt 5...tution was at 730 so i went down to PS and hung around for abt 1/2 hr...went to music plaza to check out the prices of electric guitars...then had dinner at the foodcourt...left at abt 6 and headed down to admiralty...i tot it would take 1 hr but i was wrong...got to admiralty in 30mins...so i spent a whole hour in the Macs sipping on hot Milo and finishing up my tutorial...tution was not bad cos we went thru a couple of probability qns...really need the practice...finished up at 1030 so i took the MRT home...reached home at 1130 dead tired...took a shower, lay on my bed and fell asleep instantly...

Thursday 17 July:
today was the day tt the 25th Student Council of my school stepped down and the 26th took over...the stepping-down ceremony turned emotional when the president came up to give his speech...with tears rolling down his eyes, he thanked the many ppl who were involved in making the job of the Student Council successful... then when he asked the councillors to remove their council badges, many of them also broke down...really emotional morning man...felt like crying too... not!!!...hehe...the rest of the day went on as usual...got off at 3 and came home...have tuition later at 730 at Kallang cos Malik is back...see when i can blog again but in the meantime, leave a mark...

Electric Guitar Blues...

Saturday 12 July:
today was the day of the 'AO' level chinese listening comprehension...we had to report at 830 but the thing only started at 930...so we wasted one hr talking trash in the D block...talked abt almost everything but most prominent was soccer, the common language...talked abt how chelsea's, or now known as Chelski, new president, some super rich ruskie tycoon, was thinking of buying almost every big player out there...heh...but most of the offers were rejected tho...but the most shocking of all was that blackburn let Damien Duff go to Chelsea for 18mil...are they going mad?...cos duff is one of blackburn's best players..not to mention top scorer...and after selling David Dunn, they're screwed...well, good luck rovers...at 930, the listening started and it ended at abt 1015...spent 2hrs+ in school for a 45 min paper...dunno what the buggers at MOE are doing...SARS is gone...so RELAX LAR!!!...then i followed Po Ben, David and Tim Wee for breakfast/lunch at Queens mac...following which we took 963 to bt panjang...they were going home while i slipped to Siu Po's place to pick up his $1,000 Ibanez RG electric guitar...borrowed it cos i felt tt jason's worship would sound better with an electric guitar involved...took the MRT frm Choa Chu Kang to Ang Mo Kio when i headed home...got back at 6+...i immedieately started practicing the next day's worship songs with the "new arrival" without an amp...tho no sound could be heard, i think i gained some profiency with it...at least i managed to change chords on it with no problem by the end of my "jamming " session...

Sunday 13 July:
sunday started early for me as usual...woke at 7 and went to church at 730...had prata for breakfast...while having my meal, i received news tt band prac could only start at 10 cos the sunday school was using our room for some missions thingy...tt was 1 hr of practice time gone...and the time was crucial cos firstly there was a new instrument which nobody has experience in playing and secondly we haven't done some of the songs on friday...we tried to make our thoughts known to the sunday school but they said that ours was the only room that could accomodate for this presentation...we had no choice but to wait...10 o'clock finally came and band prac commenced...dunno whether it was because i was tired or not but i kept messing up my chord-sheets and scores...tt was not good...sheesh...but the good thing was that the electric guitar sounded quite good...after a short 10 min delay, worship kicked off...it was kind of terrible for me cos, being the lead guitar or should i say the only guitar, i had trouble hearing myself...so that was a problem cos i couldnt really coordinate properly...anyway, some of the songs were tough cos of the super fast chord changing that was involved...esp so with My Best Friend...cool song tho...done best by Hillsongs...Lyrics anybody?

Monday 14 July:

Back to School...

when i first started blogging, i told myself that i would blog every single day no matter what...but now it seems that the circumstances have changed some...ever since the term began, i realised that i would have less and less time available to spend on the com...that equals less bloging...so i'm sorry for this..anyway, back to when i last left off...

Monday 7 July:
Youth Day!...means no school so i went out with andrew, jill and marcus...met andrew first at PP MRT then headed to PS to meet jill...we were kinda hungry so we went to the food court for a korean hotplate lunch...it was then that we went to meet marcus...after the rendevous, we still had to wait for 2 of jill's classmates, edwin and dixon, before proceeding to monstercue 2 for pool...pool that day was like crap...couldnt play well cos i havent played since last year...no practice = disaster...tiffany, another of jill's classmates came a short while later...we played off the rest of the games and left around 4...played abt 2 hrs but the rate there was quite good cos it was a weekday...$6 per hr...we headed back to PS to watch dumb and dumberer...the title says it all...it really was a DUMB show...but was quite hillarious at times...my rating: *** out of a possible 5...andrew wanted to buy PS2 games so i followed him to serangoon central to get them...haddinner there too...at the shop, i bought the much anticipated simulator of the year, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight...been waiting months for this release...but on the down-side, it cost me $20 cos there were 4 CDs...walked at the pasar malam near the bus interchange for a while before we went our seperate ways...i headed to my aunt's place to get my 6610 back...then i headed off home...it was abt 9+ when i got home...first thing i did was install MSFS2004ACOF...took me quite some time cos there were some files missing here and there...so had to manually extract them...but at last i got the thing up and running...did some test flights before going to bed...and it was already 1+...there was school the next day...

Tuesday 8 July:

Funday...

yes! finally PLH is given the opportunity to show our stuff to the congregation and to become a stronger presence in PSPC...after weeks of preparation on the part of the worship leaders, the band and the techie ppl, the day has finally come...arrived in church 5 mins late...would have been later if i hadnt met zara and uncle joe outside the MRT station...thanks for the lift manz...practice officially commenced at 745...did that till abt 840 when i went to have breakfast...then, 9am came...was feeling kinda nervous cos i was gonna do the intro for the 1st song...then i came to realize...if that was bad, i wonder how jane and shelby were feeling...it was then that i noticed that their hands were trembling as they stepped up on stage...kowz...i dun think i would have the courage to do that man...zhen pei fu ni men liang...translation: really admire you two...so worship commenced...it was like no other worship that i ever sat for...there was a more homey feeling to this one and i could really feel God moving thru the MPH as we played and sang...a powerful feeling that i havent felt since Life Concert...it was great!...so service went on without a hitch...dr lee's message was quite interesting...at least i didnt fall asleep..*shhh*...maybe it was because of the adrenalin that was flowing in my blood...heh...anyway, we finished service and immedieately after the postlude, many many of the congregation members came up and thanked us for leading today and even asked if we could do it again...the feeling was wild...looks like we'll be up there more often now...hehe...i just wanna thank the worship leaders for all the effort they put in...heard that shelby didnt sleep a wink last night...poor girl...so after we wraped up the service, it was packing time...seems that we misplaced a cable and were supposed to report to aud abt it...wonder if ben called her...hmmm....then, it was off to paradiz AGAIN to play C&C Generals AGAIN but not before a quick bite...initially, i tot that most of the PLH ppl were going but in the end, they decided to kick ball instead...that left ben and i AGAIN...so it was another 2 hrs of kill, kill, kill...kowz...still got some of the generals stuff in my head..."I build for CHINA!" "For the Red Army!" "I am only a peasant."...hehe...at abt 4, i headed home on NEL...got home and turned on the com...then, i started watching this documentary on nuclear...the bizzare thing was that i actually fell asleep while watching...was really tired cos i also didnt have much rest the previous night...got woken up by a phone call frm aunt...seems that she's back from the US and that means tt i can get my 6610 back finally...tt was at arnd 7 something so i met mum for dinner...did a little shopping at Compasspoint afterwards...super tired now...took the cold medicine which is making me kinda drowsy...*yawn*...leave a mark ya?...*yawn*...

Post Block Test Period...

kowz...missed 2 days of blogging...too tired to blog on thursday cos i spent the whole afternoon playing generals with ben...cant imagine i played 4 hrs straight...that was after my checkup at alexandra hospital...but the doc said tt ishould come back the next day for an ultrasound of my heart to determine if anything was wrong...so on friday, i headed down the the hospital first thing in the morning at 8...i tot it would take at least 2 hrs so i ended up waiting 3 hrs in queensway macs for the cl listening compre to start...i still dunno why we need listening compre at blk test 2 level...we didnt even sit for a written paper!...stupid admin ppl...it was 1 hr wasted in school man...should have taken jon's lead and dun bother showing up...anyway, after the paper, i followed my class for outing at sentosa...siloso beach to be exact...there were supposed to be abt 15 ppl going but 7 of them played us out...reasons, or should i say excuses, ranged frm 'i need to send my mum off at the airport' to 'my friend not going so i dun want to go'...i mean, come on lar...that's pathetic lor...so the 8 of us, all guys went there with slightly dented spirits...what's the fun in a beach outing without girls?...reached siloso beach at about 2...couldnt find an available volleyball court so we started kicking the ball at the beach soccer court...it was then that we realized that volleyballs were too hard to kick around...*ouch*...thankfully, the volleyball court suddenly became available and we started playing...however, due to the lack of practice, we couldnt even get a single rally on properly...either ppl were missing balls or they hit them into the net...*sianz*...then this group of guys came along with a soccer ball and asked if we would like to play with them 6v6 soccer...that meant tt one of us had to sit out while another had to join them...so the game began...in abt 20 mins, the score was 4 all...quite good considering that most of us really cant play in the sand...haha...then another group of challengers came and we decided to finish off the match by playing 2 goals...they won and we took a break...then, we noticed that the A12 girls were also at the beach...so we played around with the volleyball with them...i left at 4 cos i had to go for band prac...so i took NEL once again to dhoby ghaut and transferred to a bus on my way down...band prac wasn't really that good cos some of the equipment screwed up and kurt couldnt come...so shaun took his place on the piano...we ended at abt 720, 10 mins before BS and i havent even done my homework, yet alone eat...so it was rush hour...bought chicken rice from round the corner and went back to church to eat...was trying to do my HW at the same time but only managed to do 1 question...i tot i was going to die...auntie june came in 25 mins late...zara and charlene, 35 mins late...yup, it's the girl syndrome in action again...BS ended slightly later cos we did a very through BS this time...after that, i received a call from dad who told my bro and i to take a cab to singa inn for dinner and to meet him...glad that he's back frm malaysia...so we met him and after dinner round 2, we sent his friend to a hotel before going home...

saturday started with taking my dad's friend of a tour of singapore...more like little india only...my dad, bro and i went to mustafa shopping complex for some shopping and had lunch at some tandoori restaurant along serangoon road...the food there was quite good i must say...after lunch, we headed to sim lim tower to look at electronics cos my dad's friend wanted to buy either a phone or camera...but we couldnt find anything so we went to sim lim square...it too came down to nothing...i left the 3 of them at abt 4 cos i had to meet ben for another round of generals...we found that trying to beat a hard enemy was really quite hard especially because we got trashed...so round 2 was us vs a pair of normal GLA...quite simple considering that it only required 5 overlord tanks to overrun one of the bases...stopped playing at 615 and went to church for band prac...helped set up the equipment and by 715, the show was on the road...went through all the songs twice just in case...finished around 9 so i went home to this blog...hope your last 2 days were just as interesting...tell me abt it k...pls leave a mark!...
