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.

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

Adobe Illustrator.
Okay have not posted anything picture-wise for a long time, again. Haha. =X I need a camera la, still saving away incessantly.
Tried out Adobe Illustrator some time ago, messed about with it for an hour or so, and came up with this.
Haha, okay I know it looks horrible and everything. But for a first time it's not bad okay? Spent such a long time figuring out extremely basic things like how to fill the lines I drew with colour, and it looks much better than my first attempt at using Gimp. =X
The program itself is really simple and easy to use though, once you experiment around with it for a while. Like, much more control over vector paths and gradient meshes. And Photoshop filters can be used too, if you have Photoshop, which I unfortunately don't. Gimp is good enough. =)

Worship Central Conference 2008.
Okay woke up at around 7:15am at Macrina Mdm's house, then went off soon after that cause I was going to be late. Went home, bathed, brushed teeth again (haha), then ate a slice of apple pie for breakfast whilst going on MSN for 15 minutes before leaving again.
Took an MRT down to Commonweath Station and then went to Faith Methodist Church for the Worship Central Conference.
It's actually a 3 day kind of thing with a concert by Planetshakers at the Max Pavilion, but I didn't go on Friday cause I was stepping down.
Anyways, the conference was quite okay. Got a wristband thing, a notepad and a dvd, but no Nike voucher like at iHope. Haha okay nvm.
Worship was great, about 850 people went for the conference. Tim Hughes and Al Gordon were great at speaking in front of a crowd. Attended the theology of worship which was not as boring as I expected, and the band dynamics workshop which was cool. Like the different styles a song can use and other practical aspects of being in a band.
The live lounge part was really cool too. Like, there was the songwriter of 'Count On Me Singapore', the worship director of FCBC, and a pastor from Hong Kong. Haha, unscripted session where they just talked about songwriting and the process it goes through. A lot of funny parts to it too.
Felt like dead tired in some parts because of ton-ing, and didn't attend the night worship. Went home and slept early instead. =)
