Food.

Okay haven't updated for a long time again cause of the various busy activities that students are now forced to devote their time to. =(

Lots of Birthdays this week. There was Wei Kit's and Lenson's Birthday last Sunday, then Meryl's and Bibiana's Birthday on Thursday, and my Sister's Birthday on Friday. =) Yea, Happy Birthday to whomever it may concern!

Attempted to surprise Wei Kit with Sec 4s, haha. Told him to stay back on Monday to discuss Area 7 Games Day Logistics, then brought the cake from behind him. But he says he was not surprised. -.-

Also attempted to surprise Lenson by telling him to share a cake for Hui Qin's birthday cake, but actually it's his birthday cake. Hahaha. Cycled to Swensen's at Compass Point from his house, then celebrated with Malvina, Ling Tong, Felicia, Hui Qin, Lenson, Jun Han, Ivan, View Meng, and Chee Hock. Was kind of like, teasing Lenson and Hui Qin all the time. Heh.

Went cycling around Seng Kang after that, went to some ulu ulu place at Seng Kang, okay, the correct word is undeveloped, but ulu ulu sounds nicer. Haha, then Ivan and View Meng went home whilst the 4 of us went to Punggol road. There's this like dirt track that I've never seen before. Haha. And more ulu ulu stuff. Sunset was awesome too. Went back to Lenson's house after that, then went home.

Oh and we had this 2 day workshop on how to 'Maximize your marks for the O level Comprehension Questions'. It was informative and enlightening and all that, and it was conducted from 3 to 5.30pm on Tuesday and Wednesday. Gah. But it's still much better than Chinese extra lessons on Tuesdays which we got to skip. =P

But we didn't get to skip extra lessons on Wednesday, so it was like School --> Chemistry --> English --> Home. Bleah.

On the day immediately after the workshop was our English Paper 2 Mock Exam. Was quite okay, although I finished the comprehension questions disgustingly early even though I kind of tried to re-read the question more than once and double check and all that. Like it started at 3? By 3.45 I was already attempting the summary question. And I had time to write a first draft, count the number of words, think of stupid replacements for the words, count the number of words again, then write the final draft, and doodle stupidly on the foolscap whilst practicing finger-pass. But that's English la, I can just imagine some horrid Maths paper and me rushing to complete it with 5 minutes left.

Oh and I watched The Showdown on Channel 5 on Thursday too. I recommend anyone with an hour of free time to go watch it.

Friday was okay, surprised my sister with a Simple Plan CD, and went for dinner before cell too. Went to Kopitiam for supper with cell group.

Spent my Saturday sleeping non-stop. Okay, I did spend my time doing something productive like reading. =D

Went to Church today, gave a testimony to my parent's cause it's parents day! Haha. =)

Okay everything else was pretty mundane and uninteresting, so I shall blog no longer.

History Mock Examination.

Okay last Friday was History. Which went rather horridly cause my answer script was something like this:


Haha, the question was like: "How successful were the Allies in ending the war in the Pacific in 1945? Explain your answer."

And I was silently going, "YEA! I know how to do!" And started writing a very nice awesome introduction with relevant little facts and all the profound superfluous words and adjectives interspersed in.

Then I wrote my first point about the atomic bomb being an important factor in the success of the Allies due to it's shocking devastating power and radiation fallout and all that.

Then I realised I had only 30 minutes left, to finish the rest of the paper. So my second point was very short and brief. My third point was worse.

Then I started writing the conclusion and finished it with like, 10 minutes to spare. So I added on to the conclusion more and ended up with the picture above.

Think I need to manage my word balance for paragraphs or something. =/

Chinese Preliminary Examinations.

YES IT'S OVER. Heehee.

Okay wait, Monday was pretty normal, went for lunch at Aston's again and ate Roti Tissue at RK House. Yea. Haha. Oh and I was sneezing non-stop because of the sweltering, unbearable heat. Ya, I think my body has some thermal issues. Hot weather=Feeling Cold. Cold weather=Feeling Even Colder. But this doesn't mean I'm not hot okay. =P

Woke up today and started sneezing immediately. And it's like, super hot today too. Bleh. Met up with Wei Kit, Joshua and Chee Sheng and went to school. Dao-ed Hao Xiang cause he didn't meet us. Hahaha.

Went to the bookshop cause Joshua wanted to find an electronic dictionary and not use his huge paperback one. But the bookshop didn't sell the dictionary. -.-

Okay papers were all horrible. 4 hours in one day. That's like 1/6 of a day spent sitting down and reading/writing/thinking Chinese. And I was sneezing throughout la, although I stopped sneezing when I went for recess and after school. Heh. Allergy maybe?

But It's not that bad la. Haha, because there's no other exam for like a month except for History this coming Friday which is easy cause I think History is easy. Easier than Chinese anyhow.

Went for lunch at KFC, suffered countless assumptions and mistaken prepositions that I have an affiliation with a girl of the opposite sex. Which is obviously and undeniably untrue. Yes.

Okay, Jun Han wanted to go play swings after lunch so we went to the playground near Lenson's/Darren's/Fiona's house. But there were 2 girls there whom refused to give up their spot on the swings even though Denise was like :"Can I playyyy?!?!!" So we went to the playground near Chee Sheng's/Nigel's house instead. Stayed there until 2.30, then took 136 home.

Okay that's everything. =)

Randomness.

Okay shall be random and talk about only things that are worth talking about. Yeah.

Went Church last Sunday, then went home and slept the entire afternoon and evening. Kind of like catching up for all the lost sleep over the week. Or preparing for all the sleep I will lose in the coming week. Doesn't really matter either way. =D

Downside was I couldn't get to sleep after that and ended up sleeping at 3am. =\

Monday was school. Blee. Not interesting. Stayed back after school for Senior NCO t-shirt sizing, then went cycling after that with Ivan, Chee Hock, Lenson and View Meng again. Haha. We're like cycling freaks although I rarely cycle cause I don't have a bike.

Blah. We went from Lenson's house to Punggol end, then View Meng and Ivan left early whilst Chee Hock, Lenson and me went to Punggol MRT then cycled back to Lenson's house.

And I fell down la. Road was slippery and I was going downhill and there was this bus behind me and this car in front and I turned to the side and the bike skidded and I skidded along with it. Haha. Now I have this torn, ripped section on my school pants. Blah. And this small cut that's infected and continuously oozes yellow white plasma on my knee.

Haha Tuesday's lessons were boring. Not interesting. Especially since there was Chinese for an hour and half, and Chinese extra lessons after that for another hour and half. 3 hours of 华语 is not fun to me. =( Went for dinner at Subway. But I don't think I can blog about that you know? HeeHeeHee. ;D

Chemistry lessons after school on Wednesday. Then went Lenson's house with Stephen and Jun Han after that with the intention of re-digitizing the picture of the t-shirt I'm supposed to outline digitally because the original digitized version was too blurry. Played Crysis/GTA San Andreas after that on Lenson's new powerful expensive new computer. Haha.

Thursday, brought guitar to school to practice for the Old Folk's home performance we're supposed to do. Decided to play Canon In D in D instead of C which we did the last time. Then messed around for a while in class and went home after that.

Stayed back after school on Friday to hear the Chinese Orchestra people rehearse for a while, then went for lunch at Hougang Mall Food Court with Stephen, View Meng and Lenson. Found out that CO people were no longer performing. Blee. Went home after that, bathed and went off for worship practice at 5pm.

Worship was okay. Cell group too. Message was quite deep. Like, seemingly contradicting passages in the Bible about Salvation. Took 136 home after that and reached home at exactly midnight. =)

Woke up early for school today, CIP visit to the Old Folk's home. Went for breakfast first with Jude, Koon Tat and Ivan at 805 but didn't eat cause I ate at home already. Then went to school, boarded the bus and went to the home.

Performance was...okay I guess. Although everything was last minute and rushed. Hectic la. -.-

Went back to school after that. Then went to Aston's for lunch with Stephen, View Meng, Jun Han, Li Jing, Denise, Xue Ee, Anson and I think that's everybody already. I can't remember la. =X Took 136 back home and the cycle is kind of repeated.

Okay that's everything. =)

Flag Day.

Woke up on Saturday at the amazing time of 6.30am. =D Oh yes Saturday was Joshua's birthday so Happy Birthday Joshua! You Deserve It! Grow a Brain!

For the uninitiated, flag day is a day where as part of community service, students help out a selected charity by walking around with donation cans or bags and asking members of the public to donate, usually the public will get a sticker in return. Although I have no idea what link it has to flag day, there's really no flag involved at all (unless maybe flagging down people to donate).

Okay planned to go jogging early in the morning with my sister, but she wanted to sleep, so I ended up using the computer instead. =)

Went to Macdonald's to meet the rest for breakfast, but I ate breakfast at home already so I just watched them eat.

Went around with Stephen, Hao Xiang and Jun Han. We went to Tampines bus interchange. There were quite a number of other schools too. But we were clever and sourced out a spot very near the drop-off point. So there's always a fresh supply of people to ask for donations from. Heh.

After about 2 hours of "Excuse me, would you like to donate?", we went back. Was kind of irritated by some Singaporeans that are just so dao or lack the energy required to open their mouths and say 'no thanks'. Some don't even have the strength to look in my direction, or maybe their deaf. But anyways, it's for a good cause, haha so I'll just forget about all that and be crazily optimistic. =)

But I wondering though, can you really feel happy if you've just donated 10cents, 30 cents or maybe all your spare change to Charity? I mean, can simply donating your spare change to a bunch of students really mean that you've done something good?

Went for lunch at Long John, then took 136 home.

Tiring.

Bleah. Horrible week.

Reaching home at 5 or 6+ almost daily now. And it's gotten to a point where I'm actually getting used to it. Horrid. I want to be like a sec 1 and be dismissed at 12.30 again. Or a primary school student and be dismissed at 12 on Wednesdays. Or a kindergarten student and be dismissed at 10am. =D Though I probably won't be here blogging if I'm a kindergarten student.

Surprisingly though, there's little or almost no homework at all. But don't tell the teachers ya? ;P

Oh and I met this guy when I was queuing up in the canteen on Thursday. Haha, kind of interesting cause he's from Gracehaven and knows my father and all that. Weird feeling, like 2 aspects of your life which have little or no correlation with each other suddenly become quite linked. =)

Anyways, lessons are all boring and mentioning them will just put myself to sleep. So, I shall skip everything and just talk about Friday cause that's the only thing worth mentioning. =D

There was a rainbow in the sky on Friday just before school started. Probably due to light precipitation in the sky falling straight because of the lack of wind on that day. And due to heavy cloud cover, the Sun was not as bright or the rainbow would have been more pronounced and saturated.

Friday's lessons were boring too. Okay there was this debate for LCE which is stupidly one-sided. "The elderly are non-contributing members of society." Like, whoever agrees with that statement is being ostentatious or just too stupid too think. It is possible to contribute to a society in a negative way, and saying that the elderly do not contribute at all is just saying that the elderly have no impact on society whatsoever? Kind of stupid la. At least have something like: "the elderly have a positive impact on society." Even then it is still a flawed debate because morally it is just wrong to state that someone contributes negatively to society.
Who are we to argue such things anyways? What gives us the right to state that others are lousy and do not contribute to society? =D /minghui's contemplative psychological thinking.

Anyways, my afternoon was free cause there's no NPCC, for the rest of the year I guess. Haha, went with View Meng, Chee Hock, Ivan, Darren, Jemaine and Yi Han for lunch at this Italian stall at this coffee shop at SengKang. Ate carbonara and drank teh beng. =) Was super full after that though.

Walked to View Meng's house to cycle after that. =D Went cycling with View Meng, Chee Hock and Ivan. Went from Ivan's house to my house, where I bathed and changed, then set out again exploring the rooftop garden at my house. Went back to Ivan's house after that. All in about 2 hours+. Oh and I have this horrible bruise on my right arm after that because the bike's handle bars got caught in the fence I was riding and flipped to the right and my right arm hit the center of the bar and such. =(

Haha, but it was fun la, exhilarating. =) Thanks to View Meng for lending me his bike.

Oh but when I reached Ivan's house it was about 5.20pm already, so rushed to 136 bus stop after that with Chee Hock. Met Stephen whom was alighting from 119 at the same bus stop we were at, haha. Then 136 came and Chee Hock raced the bus to his house.

136 was about an hour's ride, so reached Church at around 6.30pm. But it was okay cause Clarence was not there yet. =) Only Guan You, Tammy and me. Kind of scary la. First time playing an electric guitar whilst sitting down too. Like, so small. But I guess on the whole worship went rather well. =D

And I haven't been to Cell for such a long time too. Haha, sermon was great. And cell group was kind of large too. Like, consisted of people of all ages from Sec 1s to University. =D

Went for supper with family after that, at the 24 hour Lavender Hawker Center. Didn't really eat though cause I ate dinner at 9pm+. Bleah.

Okay that's everything. =) Went home and slept at 1.20am.

Astons Express.

Okay spent the entire Sunday at home sleeping so there's nothing interesting there.

Lessons on Monday were monotonous and boring. =\
Went with Stephen, Jun Han, View Meng, Denise and Veronica to Astons Express for lunch. =D

Okay, it's this place at Serangoon Gardens, kind of like Botak Jones I guess, but they are both great in different aspects. Haha. I think it's weird that we are traveling so far just for food. But what other stall in Singapore do you know that has their own blog?

Anyways, ate a Sirloin Steak at $11.90 with onion rings and coleslaw. I think it's delicious and juicy and savory and whatever. Especially if you consider the price and the prices of steaks found in other restaurants.

And I've invented this awesome new way of speaking Chinese. Like, "你这种井井有条的人。" Or "这真的是太风和日丽了，目中无人。" Haha. Anyone that doesn't know Chinese will think that I'm an awesome expert at idioms and such. Anyone that knows Chinese, will simply start laughing. Haha. 五颜六色 man.

Crossed the road to RK house after that. Ate roti tissue. =D I remember eating it for the first time at Bishan Kopitiam a long time back. =D

And I'm like kind of lonely with Jun Han throughout cause Stephen will be busy with Veronica, View Meng with Denise, leaving Jun Han and me to gay together. =D
