Empty.

Hey guys. Looks like the holidays have just started. I think I am going to feel really bored. I went to school on Saturday for the VIP 2006 Registration and had a peek at how the new teachers were. The form teacher of v11 was Mr Boy and the form teacher of v13 was Mr Yang. They are really lucky. Mr Chew is the form teacher of v12. He seems quite nice as well. v14 got a kinda fierce teacher. When I last saw her in class, she was shouting at the class. 4 of juniors got in! That is really incredible. I didn't expect so many to get in. Seriously.

This Friday is symposium. This Thursday is my RMBR - NUS attachment. I really hope it's interesting. And I am going off on the 23rd to Thailand. Just brought my blazer back home yesterday.

I have things to do and stuff. But I'm really gonna miss school. This past year has been really great. I feel that I have learned many new things and I have enriched myself in various aspects. I feel that I have understood the real meaning of learning and I think this is going to be really beneficial to me.

Many events in the past year have really impacted me, be it good or bad. I understood others better through such events and through that, understand myself better. One trip that will always be on my mind is the Tokyo Trip. I know that we'll be going overseas next year and I am really looking forward to that. But it'll never be like this trip, which allowed me to foster better bonds with everyone. I will never forget the hike up Mt Fuji, the trip to Shibuya, Disneyland or the racket the guys created in the night. These are memories that I'll never forget.

And most importantly - my friends. You guys have been the best. Although I have made many mistakes, I just hope you guys won't take it too hard. I feel that you people have made me who I am today, and made my one year in the VIP really unforgettable. So to you guys out there - rock on.

and after all, you're my wonderwall...

Pope.



People usually laugh at me when I say that I saw the Pope. Well, the ex-Pope actually. Here is evidence that I really saw him along the streets of Rome, Italy in December 2004. This was when I was walking back from the Fontana di Trevi to the Metro.

This was the Pope.

Once in a lifetime.

Update.

Firstly, I would like to apologise to MR. Singh for what I had done. I was extremely rude and I should have never done that. I feel extremely bad about my actions and I am really, really sorry.

I would like to congratulate all the basketball guys for getting 2nd. Great job!

My results: BAD.

deSpace: I sense discord among a lot of pple and this is what I would like to suggest to you: Just hold on for a while longer and get it over with.

I saw what I had gotten for my electives and I was kinda sad.

1 st Sem: Philosophy
2 nd Sem: Quantum Physics and Reality

I was aiming for transition metals for my first semester. I didn't get it. It's alright. I think its good for me to do a variety of electives rather than just electives just related to science. I am really glad that I got Quamtum Physics though. It's really interesting, and I hope to learn more about Quantum Physics.

Yeah. Wilbur, thanks for the fish. I feel honoured. And ser en, I am not too sure either.

So that's all for the update. Will be back soon.

Depression.

I have fallen down hard, real hard.

Physics and Chem were both largely disappointing. I have barely passed my Physics (largely due to my better practical[24/30] as compared to my abysmal Paper 1) and I am on the verge of a pass and fail for my Chem. This is really disappointing as these were the 2 subjects for which i scored the highest for my CA2. I guess me being sick is a reason, but I shall not use it as an excuse. I should have done better, but I have disappointed everyone especially myself.

I hope to do better in my future endeavours in Physics, Chem and Math.

I have also been selected to go for this research project with the Raffles Museum. I have to do some research about landscapes with a few others(Nazri, Margaret, Zhong He and Darren).

Physics and Chem have really disappointed me. I just hope to have done better in the rest.

I have fallen down real hard.

Reality.

Hey guys. Blogging after exactly 2 weeks. Now that has been quite a long absence. The exams are over. I am really relieved, and as i watched Shangai Knights tonight, i wondered how i survived those 2 dreadful weeks as well as pre SA1.

On the topic of SA1, my Physics Paper 2 was screwed up. Having just fainted and puked just before the exam, i never really expected to do well, but i was really sad. really. I wanted to do so well for physics, after all the careless mistakes i made for Math, but it looks like my Physics is not gonna be too good. I just hope i can do well enough to get an A. I can still feel my Dad scolding me: "You must get full marks for physics! The calculations are easy! The examiner will never be able to deduct any marks!"

I really hope to pursue a career along the lines of Physics, Math and / or Chem. That's why I really want to do well in these subjects. I had my best chance to get an 80 average for chem, but I was still sick on that day. Aw, just another effing excuse. I hope to do well for that paper as well. And i want to do well for Maths as well.

Talking about career, i remembered the speech Mrs Chan gave all the Sec 4 students yesterday during the open house. She was talking about the new subject system, and I thought it was very beneficial to me as i could start thinking what I wanted to do. Well, as you all know, we need to do a contrasting subject as well. I was thinking of Economics, as it seems like the most useful humanities subject, but i think i am being plain unfair. Anyway, these are my dream combinations.

Dream Combination 1:

Compulsory - PW
H2 - KI
H2 - Physics
H2 - Maths
H2 - Chemistry
H3 - Maths or Physics

Dream Combination 2:

Compulsory - PW
H1 - GP
H1 - Economics
H2 - Physics
H2 - Maths
H2 - Chemistry
H3 - Maths Physics or Chemistry.

I know everyone is gonna screw me after reading this but honestly I don't care. I think Dream Combination 2 is more doable in a sense that Dream Combination 1 is just too much.

Moment of truth - 17 October 2005

this is reality, caught in a landslide.

till tomorrow then.

Song.

Dose anyone know this song? I love it

Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
I’m just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because I’m easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesn’t really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now he’s dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didn’t mean to make you cry-
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Body’s aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-I’ve got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I don’t want to die,
I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But I’m just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-can’t do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....
