Happiness.

Today was Teachers' Day. I gave the Mrs Fields' Cookies to all my teachers, which is quite puny and thoughtless as those stayed up and baked their own cookies. I feel like such a lazy pig.

*Mdm Yasmin(My Sec 2 home econs teacher): This job is an occupational hazard.*

I don't know why, it suddenly came to mind. Anyway, I went to VS with Aaron, Eugene and Thana. We were the first few people to reach there, apart from a few seniors. We saw a band comprising of ex-victorians, Ronin, performing. According to the teachers, they weren't expecting such a performance from them. Ronin, more like Levan was like, "Screw off! Screw it!" and stuff. After a while, they were asked to leave the stage and Mr Maran told them off later. The teachers were extremely pissed of with their actions. And they sang the school song wrongly. So much for being an ex-Victorian.

Visa must be scandalised if he reads this.

After that I met my primary school friends and we went to play pool. After 1 screwed up game, I actually became much better. I just need add more finesse to my shots and practice more. Pool is really cool, and I feel that I should go more often next year, and I hope a few of you all understand why.

I was watching Rockstar: InXS. Mig rocks man. He's the Australian-Filipino mix. I'm rooting for that dude.

And i am not really fond of Ronin anymore.

Disappointment.

I feel disappointed. Especially with my Social Studies and my Think About it Quiz.

I falied my SS as expected. Ah crap. I felt that i should have done better. But never mind. I shall come back raring the next time. I will do well in my SS.

Actually, my other SS test wasn't too bad. Ah wells. I'll just strive to do harder next time.

My Think About it Quiz. Another disappointment. I felt that I was right. But in the end I was wrong. Nevermind. I tried to rationalise my answer with Mr Boy, and I understood why I was wrong.

To All Those Out There Who Say That I Should Have Listened To Them:

I have made a mistake, something that is extremely rare in my case. I apologise for trying to act like insensitive wart in trying to say that my answer was correct. My self-belief took control of me, and as a result, I ended up on the losing side.

However, at that particular period of time, I felt that my answer made much more sense. Therefore, I was led to believe that I was correct. But let me get this straight: self belief is good, but too much is bad, like in my case. I was confident in what I did, so I went ahead. I made a mistake in the process. I believe, however trivial it may seem, that this mistake has just strengthened my confidence. I have learnt from my mistakes and I am ready for the next challenge.

cheesiness.

these.words.are.my.own

Spree.

I had a spree of posts over the weekend. I don't know whether it'll continue or what. anyway, got back a few assignments today.

Disappointed.

I told MS Toh in her face that I should have gotten higher for my Japan Trip assignment. Ah eff it. There were like 'gd's all over it but still only 38. quite sad lah.

My mom is gonna help me get all the teachers' day presents for me. Yay.

Bio was effed up as well. Failed.

For chem i got 9/10 and 12.5/15. I thot i could get full marks for those 2 assignments.

life.just.kills.you

Chance.

I hate SAP schools. Lemme tell you why.

With my PSLE score, i could have easily gotten into any SAP i wanted, near my house. but no, i couldn't. People who got lower than me to go to places like TCHS. Rubbing the salt into the wound.

We live in a multicultural, multi racial society and no one can change that. Despite people going on making stupid jokes about other cultures and stuff, singapore will always reamain a multi racial society.

In my opinion, the SAP schools don't actually help this cause but rather worsen it. In the name of inculcation of chinese values and all that crap, they start the division. This goes against the nation's ideals.

I am not running down people from SAP schools and stuff. In fact, many of my friends are from such schools. But I feel that such an idea is rather ridiculous and unfair to many people. Even though i have not lost anything by not going to a SAP school, i just feel that i have been denied a chance.

I hate it. The crap i am talking about right now may not make much sense, but I just wanted the people who read this blog to know that I am not really fond of SAP schools at ALL.

btw, just outta curiousity, why are SAP schools specially assisted?

Move.

As I read blogs and talk with people, i have heard various reviews from different people. All about coming to the VIP that is.

Honestly, coming here was the best decision of my life.

I still remember the day when I got back my PSLE results. Not enough to get into the school i wanted. I was really sad. My family had pinned all hopes on me to get there, but i didn't. I thought all was lost. How ironic, cuz this whole thing was sort of like a blessing in disguise.

I went on to Victoria. I wasn't really that keen to be honest. The first day of school was bad, i really wasn't sure of what i was looking for. Mr Ang, Mr Chia and Mr Maran all talked to us, the freshmen, but i still felt that this wasn't the right place for me. I didn't particularly like my teacher either. Everything seemed lost indeed.

A few months went by and things got better. I made more friends. For those who would know, the Victoria Challenge was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. It made me look at my school in a whole new perspective. My whole class, worked together as one, and we accomplished our challenge as one. My class was the AEP class. So our project looked really good. We then moved to Siglap Link as well. It was a really great experience. I felt that I had played a big part in Victoria moving to her new home.

Things got better indeed. I made closer ties with my classmates and I had a much better time in school. i adapted to secondary school life.

I was also doing well in my CCA and that made life better.

Sec 2 came. It was the supposedly important year, with the streaming and stuff. I knew the school much better and i loved it more. I had great times with friends and added responsibilities as well, as i became the monitor of my class.

I remember the days when my friends (inclusive of aaron ng and a few others) and me, we used to steal the tennis balls from the courts and play along the corridors. We always use to get caught by Daniel Ong, Nazri, Vishi etc. We then changed our playing location to the 7th floor corridor. I still remember the day the ball fell into the pond. Mr Chia went in to get it and he fell into the pond. lolx.

I applied for NJC and for the VIP, the VIP being my preferred choice. In the end when the results came out i didn't know what to do. ONe part of my mind told me to stay in VS, to become a student leader and excel in my studies. The other told me to go to NJ. THhe other to the VIP. My sister told me that NJ sucked big time and i wasn't that keen in going there either. So that was ruled out. I finally decided to go to the VIP. I did want to stay back at VS. I wanted to learn and explore more, something that I would have never learned in VS.

I am sad that i left but I am much happier now, after spending more than 8 months in the VIP. I have met people from many different schools, i have learnt to accept many different views. There are the people i hate, but they'll always be there and i have to learn to live with them.

So, to all those out there who think you have made the wrong decision: i don't really care about your opinion. But all i want to say is that, move on. Stop thinking about the past. You'll have to move on at one point or another. Learn to forget and to move on. I still miss VS, but i have learnt to accept and to live and to love my new surroundings. Not necessariily love, but still enjoy my self to the fullest.

move on.

just.another.regret

Sucks.

My stupid CS is lagging. Can't play it properly. I need to find out why. Cuz i really want to play CS.

Argh. It's 9.15 am and no one is online. And I can't paly CS properly. My options are slowly cutting down.

Looks like i can only play my xbox now.

you.are.my.only.one

Counter Strike. After a Long Time.

I Rock.

Finally.

I spent the whole day at joel's house finishing the ppt for the indie venture. My grp doesn't seem to care whether we get into the top 3 or not. Haha. So stressful, finishing everything today. Shall not divulge any info. Must beat rival groups.

I hope the presentation can last under 10 mins lah. I seriously hope so. And our ppt has been rated R21 by a few teachers. I hope that doesnt affect our grade or sumthin.

Crap sia. The week is going to end already. I cant wake up late anymore.

And i am going to my primary school teacher's house with all my friends.yay.

waiting.for.that.day.to.come

Void.

I feel sad.

Just now, 2 boys were at my door step, selling ice creams. My dad asked me to tell them to go away. One of the boys said that he didn't have any pocket money and to just take a look at the ice creams. But i told him i couldn't. He thanked me and walked away.

I felt bad. I am feeling really bad.

The guilt is immense.

how.could.this.happen.to.me

McDonalds

hey peeps. I am at McDonalds right now. Having breakfast with Jonathan, Eugene and Joel. They are all talking crap right now.

ANyway... We just finished our table for our practical. We are going to leave Macs at 0930hrs. Why isn't Zhao Chen here yet? Yesterday he was waiting for us at BK. But today he's still not here yet even though we told him. Haiz...

IN the process of waiting for ZC, the other 3 are talking crap. btw, Macs hotspots are screwed up.

Yea so. I have a few doubts over some pple. I need time to think over it.

Gotta go.

Confusions.

am in a confused state of mind right now.

This week is indie venture week. Joel, Jonathan, Zhao Chen and Eugene and me. The only other all guy grp. Chem and Math is quite interesting. But i think it's only fun because firstly we have nothing on this week and secondly, i like what i am doing. If you hate chem, bio, math or coming up with a formula to calculate the straightness of a hair, you would hate this project.

Monday was a walkabout at parkway parade. We lunched there after which we went to all the hair salons at parkway - jean yip, jean yip, kose, and finally the great **** pple. I can take pride in the fact that I have been to more salons in a day than yx in his life. Yea, so. The jean yip pple can't speak english. kose were busy, just like everyone else. what a coincidence. went to **** finally, where they helped us, telling us abt rebonding and stuff. They also gave us a few hair samples. **** totally rock.

today was day in which we were cooped up in the science lab. making so many concoctions. will be testing them out tom.

i have to go for the youth science conference at nanyang poly. maybe i can get to see my dad. kewlness.

my opinion on victoria turning co-ed.

it shouldn't be co-ed. the only reason why my parents probably sent me there in the first place waws because it was a reputable all boys sch. My 2 years there may not have been the best, i admit, but i have learnt a lot from there. The importance of brotherhood and stuff. The teachers were really great and dedicated which made learning even more fun. Everything that happened - friends, class, teachers, CCAs- this chiseled out my path for me and i am here today because of my past in VS. I am not going to say that i don't regret coming to the VIP and all that crap because it's true and everyone knows it. The VIP rocks, but it's a totally different feeling from that at VS.

I could only feel the true victorian spirit after i left VS to go onto VJ. How ironic.

We do not return to you mother, for we never really left...

XBOX!

hey world. i was playing xbox just now. isn't that interesting.

i watched charlie and the chocolate factory yesterday. Johnny Depp was great and the addition of his life story was rather interesting as well. A good movie. A happy movie. But not enough sad scenes. Seriously.

I hope the national day holidays go well enough. Lots of things to watch out for. I shall not complain about homework because i know that i can finish them. Talk about over-confidence.

And i don't understand the rationale behind people putting song lyrics on their blogs. It maketh no sense. Can anyone please tell me why?

That sounded gay.

National Day today was teh same old boring crap. I got that book today. i did a small part in that book. Had to research something for my birthday. It was my history project last year. And for all those who know her, my history teacher was Mrs Raj, the mosted hated one. Yep.

Thats about it. Why not copy wenshu for a while. He does something like this for all his blog entries.

waiting.for.you.all.my.life.

How true...

Your label is the Nice girl/guy. You tend to care
for others over yourself. However, many people
appreciate your caring side and would rather
stick by you than hurt you. But, there is a
downside. Some tend to abuse your kindness and
take advantage of you. You always try to see
the good in everyone and try not to hate.
Also, you have sharp insight and a great
personality. Calm, serene, and understanding,
you make a worthy friend and a valuble ally to
people in need. Don't change your sweet
nature, your constant being-there can save a
life.

I suggest your go into a field that
centers around working with others such as a
doctor, baby-sitter, psychologist, lifeguard,
or Teacher. If none of these occupations
interest you, it is okay then. I am sure that
there are plenty of oppertunities out there for
you.


What type of teenager are you?

Most of the funny parts was in chinese. wtf. anyway, it was alright. before the intermission, it was great. really funny. but after the break, they were like trying to make up for the things they did in the first part. and the whole we love Singapore thing at the end just killed it.

Haiz.

School yesterday was alright. Had SS. Super interesting. I would rather study this than the annexation of Burma, Penang or Perak. PE was AMAZING! She started lessons before 9.45 am! Which meant that we had more than 20 mins of PE! After the dog game, we played floorball.We played a bit too long, so we had to pack the equipment quickly and rush back to class and Mrs Jay was super pissed. Studied ideologies. But i still have some conflicting ideas. I shall have to settle tehm soon.

Friendships. Are they really the connections between people? Are these connections really that strong? Can they be broken that easily? I wonder.

peace.

Political Compass

My political compass

Economic Left/Right: 1.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.74

Quite gay. the whole test and stuff. They had one question on whether premarital sex was okay. i said it was. they had this other question asking if porn was alright. i said it was alright. there was this other question asking whether adults could do whatever they wanted in a room(aka oral sex) and whether the public should care and i strongly disgreed to that. so that's that. i am a social libertarian.

Today there was math. I am beginning to hate it; not hate math but the way it's conducted. It's become so competitive and this curbs our exploration. Certain groups(i shall not specify who) irritate so many other groups by sounding so smug, and this affects the esteem of others. I may not be affected by it, but there are this group of pple who sure do hate that attitude, and i hate it as well.

At german i shouted at ganesh and the whole class stared at me. quite embarrasing.

AND MY FAKE BUT STILL EXPENSIVE OAKLEYS' GOT DROPPED BY SOMEONE, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE!!!!!!!!!!

Argh.

T-4-2

Hmmm... T-4-2... what i am supposed to do?

--> getting top 12 in VIP (far cry but possible)

--> going for iComp (will never happen)

--> changing CCA (it's gonna be a sport? thought of swimming before ss suaned me. dw and pea are asking me to join bowling which i am REALLY considering)


Right now i am doing my bio project. finished my LA task a few hours ago.

talking to someone rite now about the problems i am having right now. hope i can clear my mind after that. and btw, reading pple's blogs makes me very sad.

must focus on my goals.

btw, acids and bases rock u know?

Superheroes

Hey guys... i watched Fantastic 4 yesterday and i felt that i needed to blog about my favourite super hero. i mean Fantastic 4 was alright but it had an extremely shallow plot(as compared to BB) in my opinion. but jessica alba was REALLY good. anyway, back to superheroes.

Superman
- typical nice guy. smiles too much. has too many powers. a nerd turned superhero with a lame mission to fulfill.

Spiderman
- typical nerd turned into self sacrificing hero. kinda like superman, but a better. i like him better than superman though. has more self-esteem. and has less powers than superman which may be another reason for me to like him better.

Batman
-This guy is my all time fav. He rocks. He is like a human who is a super hero, not like superman who has so many different powers. he coordinates mind and body to work together, and this totally impresses me. I love this guy

BATMAN IS MY FAVOURITE SUPERHERO!

Anyone to disagree?
