IQ = 0

firstly, i would like to say i'm really unsmart. why? cos i didnt get any prizes for academic award presentation day. i only managed a tiny 9th place for last year's end year exams, how lousy is that man. and people like yanhan can get 1st in class.. choke choke
anyway, had prefect duty today. did reception which was after the whole presentation and all the guest of honour would come down for food (reception). we moved ALL the tables (maybe close to a thousand, no laa hundred plus) out of the dining hall, plus the five hundred over chairs accompanying them!! ahh, that wasnt the worst part, we had like 12 men to move the furniture out, but only 5 to move them in!! how unfortunate laa, and exhausting too.
went home sleep, then music lesson then sleep then eat then sleep then use com then going to sleep. set? nites

homework

doing homework now, well just before and soon after this. got so much to do and so little time. as always laa i guess, IP so hard. very tempted to go back to o'levels like everyone else..

2 Know God

it was fun today, yea. woke up early. i went to junction 8 at 12.30. i was in gillian's group and we were supposed to make fellowship tea for YF today. they (the girls) decided to make pizza bread, lol i didnt know what that was at first. they were practically choosing the food, while the guys had to carry the heavy food for them lol. haha, anyway we finished shopping and took a bus to ben's house, which was just opposite the church.
hmm, we bought sausages, cheese, crabsticks, mushrooms and yea bread. sliced them up and put them together and wala to form (untoasted) pizza bread. we toasted them and yupp waited for quite awhile before it was finally ready. during that period of time i played a doTa match with a newb online with ben's com lol.
at around 3.40, we took the pizza bread and brought it to the church kitchen. samuel reminded me that 'army days' was today, haha i forgot. had worship then the skit. lol, it was funny laa, all the army guys rite. straight after prayer, all their fone rang at the same time! haha, super lame laa. the whole skit was overall fun and lol packed full with christian lessons. yea i enjoyed it. also, rachel announced the creation of the yf t-shirt. kinda cool laa, the shirt looked likee chelsea jersey lol. and it was ONLY $16 and it was dry-fit. plus it had original designed logo on the front and the words: 2 Know God, To Make him known, at the back. i should try getting a similar one for my class shirt yea.
played freesbie after that and then decided to play soccer. but.. already too much playing already so the rejected players (including me) went to play floorball instead. haaha, i was goal keep and i let in sOO many goals lol. daniel got injured while playing floorball, he fell down hard and hit his elbow. i think it hit a nerve then his whole arm kena stun, poor thing.
haha, thats all, nites.

seriously screwed

something bad happened today.

something so bad i dont wanna talk about it

low blow

ouch! it hurts like crazy laa..!

today woke up at like 5.50 after i slept the previous nite at like 1.30am. was rushing to complete my overdue chinese essay and physics quiz. super tired laa when i reached school. first lesson was language arts, that kept me awake for awhile.. during recess i was practically sleeping. lessons were the usual boring state and i longed for the dismissal bell to ring..
fortunately, the last three periods were geog and i dont take geog.. so in other words we were released an hour early.
wanted to play soccer with the rest of my class.. but nvr bring my PE tank top. prefects laa.. it IS a rule that prefects cannot play sports (including soccer!!) in their school uniform. my personal opinion is that the rule is so crap and unneccesary laa. anyways, i decided to play soccer eventually. how? haha, i took off my tie and shirt and played bare top. haha, anything for soccer man! so long nvr play already.. cos everytime i wanna play need to change to PE clothes..
playing playing then scored a goal, assisted one, then the moment of utter embarrassment and pain came..!
paul lee laa.. he ram the ball then i was unfortunately in his way. his knee crashed into my *gulp* crucial area with so much force. whoa, i was super in pain laa. i was lying on the floor for minutes.. couldn't get upp. so sway, kena get hit. anyway, i carried the injury to MEP, where i stayed in school til bout 6.30 then go home. took cough medicine after dinner then now bloggin. going to do work later so thats all.

bye! *ouch*

cough cough

haven't been blogging for the past week or so. very busy laa, with all the due assignments and stuff. and to add to all this agony, i'v been coughing for the past 2 weeks laa. just went to doctors at mount alvernia friday night. slept the whole of saturday on my bed bcos of the drowzy medication i took. wasted laa, still have so much school work to do and only left with sunday. i need to work my head of already, siao.

gunners are back

first they beat aston villa 3-1, now this. the gunners never fail to surprise their crazy fans. whoa, i'm so glad! arsenal, crystal palace 5-1! is that a thrash or what, a hard blow in the gut man. henry scored twice! haha, just so happy.
sorry edmund. but your crystal palace lost.. 5-1!!

investiture

prefects invest was today. guess what, i slept at 2am last night (today early morning)! rushing to complete the ERP assignment which was really difficult. i had to write 2 essays, each between 500 to 800 words laa! how to finish? i started at 11 and finished at 2, i was so tired laa, just wanted to close my eyes. then i remembered, i had to wake up at 5 the next morning cos i had to go for invest rehearsal early in the morning! what a dread..
go for invest then i realised i had partially forgotten the prefect's pledge, so i started to recite it in my head slowly.. in accepting our appointments as prefects, we bla blaa i was falling asleep, so exhausted. anyway, i managed to get my recites right and i quickly took a nap.. with my eyes open. it all happened really fast, went up to take pledge (success) then receive cert. oh yaa, i remember, when mr soo read out my name rite, matt and gang started clapping real loudly amongst the silence. whoa, that really boost my moral, i almost wanted to wave to the crowd and acknowledge my class' support, haha lame.
worse thing is yan han can be tourguide to TKGS whereas i had to go back to class -sigh- super lucky laa, can slack and then got TK prefects to entertain also.. no there was something worse, i was about to pass up my ERP assignment, the one that i toiled through midnight to get done, when paul read it and told me that i could only write both essays together within 500 words!! and i thought it was 500 PER essay. now i had to redo and i had to unwillingly and with a heartache, scrap my original work! what a waste of time! a waste of 3 hours of my youth, when i could be on my bed having wonderful dreams. stupid me

busy busy bee

-sweating profusely- finally, i manage to take some time to blog. i'm not exagerating! i have soOO many holiday assignments. language arts, need to read two books, write a six page chinese essay and do adv and c math coursework. do teachers ever spare a thought for their students? -sigh-
anyways, i'm so glad the class forum is 'thriving' in such a few days of its debut. i feel a great sense of achievement somehow. i tell you, matthew you are too over exceedingly enthusiastic about the class forum! post like 200 posts over a duration of a few days, mad or what. i can never do that, or should i say i will never bother to do that. haha, maybe being too over exceedingly enthusiastic has its advantages, i hope there is. it really is not a wrong choice to make matthew a forum moderator i guess.
back to reality, i have a few more stuff to do before i am a freeman, then i can play com all i want and my parents can't do anything about it, haha! my mum hasnt prepared dinner yet, its like 9 already laa, i'm starving, famished, dying and exaggerating ;) but i'm really running low and energy. haha, hurry up mum!

chinese new year, yay

heyas, never blog yesterday cos got reunion dinner at my ah gong's house and needed to sleep early, so that can wake up early in the morning and go ah gong's house again.

i'm just gonna sum up yesterday's events. basically, we were released from school early like 10 plus (not as early as other schools, my brothers got released at 9!!). went to plaza sing by MRT with my classmates to watch constantine. we wanted to play LAN at first cos the movie is at like 1230. but guess what, the LAN shop at meridian was full already, with SJI sissies(heehee) i think. haha, anyway, constantine rocked, but i was abit scared laa you know, with all the demons and stuff. but generally its good, go watch it if you have like 8 bucks to spare.

okay okay, back to today. woke up at 9 (considerably early), watch tv then changed into going-out clothes. guess what?! my cabinet got 'restocked' with SOO many new clothes. haha, i managed to picked out a muller t-shirt and put it on. man, i looked good. and even better, new shoes!! ah!! nike zoom air! man, i looked even better. after i got over the new clothes thing, we went to ah gong's house to 'bai nian'. met up with alot of relatives and cousins, said hellos and happy CNYs so many times until sian. my family then went to my mum's mum's house(my grandma). played my cousin's com for hours, super fun laa. there was this game or software called VOS(i forgot what it stands for), yup basically rite its like playing piano on the com. you choose a song then there will be like a meter (you know the arcade the dancing machine, i dunno how to describe it laa but it is something like that). when the dropping things hit the bottom you must click the corresponding note. yup, if you follow the dropping 'things', you will make a very smooth soothing song. or a crapped up one if you miss. i know you dont get it rite? but nevermind it doesnt matter.

came back and then watch tv again, did some work then blog. now i'm going to sleep.. zZ

rushing against time

here i am in front of my com doing work, well at least i'm going to do work later. right after this i promise. i just can't believe the fact that chelsea drew with manchester city, maybe its bcos of robben sitting out. haha, i told you robben's good. yay! arsenal trashed aston villa 3-1, nice job gunners.

chinese test today was really challenging i guess, needed abit of help. you get what i mean rite? other than that, i guess today was just another typical ordinary john-foo boring day, sigh. still have to do overdue hw that is snowballing everyday, i have to clear it someday rite? so i'v decided today's the day!

sorry but i'v got to make this short, so very short, bye!

sleepy sunday

today was a very tiring day for me, really tiring. woke up so early in the morning at 7! why? bcos yd starts at nine and still needed to get up, bathe and eat breakfast. my eyebags were black, like a panda bear due to lack of sleep from yesterday night.

went to bishan market to eat fried maggie mee, my eyes were still very heavy. i could just doze off any moment, if i didnt resist the temptation. i went to the nearby mama shop, bought the newpaper and saw the backpage: Man Utd 2 Birmingham 0, damn. i hate man utd. ah, arsenal is definitely not going to win the premiership at this rate. anyway, after breakfast i went to church for yd (still very tired). i tell you, uncle seng kee's (my yd mentor) yd lesson today was extra boring. i could hardly keep my eyes open. gerald was busy smsing on his handfone. in fact, i was actually sleeping, with my eyes half open.

when yd ended, i was really relieved. i almost knocked off, seriously. anyway, i thought there was yw today but turns out there wasn't, cos its the 5th sunday and there was going to be holy communion. realised i was late for service, all bcos of uncle seng kee. he came late, started late, and ended late! forgetting him, i sat next to serene and gerald during service.

what disturbed me most was the fact that gerald was smsing throughout the whole sermon. it was super irritating and inappropriate laa, i kept probing him to stop but he never listened. even more disturbing, he took ben's fone and started taking photos. he snap here snap there, i had to cover my face to prevent him from taking my pic. after which he contnued smsing. the message was 'God still on the throne', at least it wasn't as boring as uncle seng kee's lesson. i managed to keep my eyes open, thanks to serene's sweet. haha, halfway through the message she offered me a sweet. guess what, it was coffee flavour, just what i needed! thanks alot. opening the wrapper was difficult, i tried not to make any sound but there was this irritating plastic scratching noice. i tried to silence it by putting it under my shirt but it didnt make a big difference. finally, i removed the wrapper and popped the candy into my mouth, it lasted throughout the whole of the morning service.

couldnt take holy communion. i looked to my left and saw serene and rachel take the bread and wine and i wondered. i remembered paul telling me he had been taking holy communion since sec 1. how come ah? dalton said he had been taking it since p4! do methodist and presbyterian churches somehow differ in the area of who is allowed to take holy communion. i dunno, i'm really puzzled.

after service, i left early and went to serangoon gardens to eat chicken rice. after which i went home. i quickly hopped into my bed, with my socks still on, and immediately dozed off. when i woke up it was already 7+. had my dinner and then watched monkey bone on channel 5 until 9.30, only to realise that i hadn't completed my weekend hw! ahh! anyway, doing hw is soO boring so i decided to blog first then finish up ;)

caring carer

today's a saturday as you know, as usual i woke up late at around 10.50. sun's shining on me, so glaring. brush my teeth then watch TV until 12. gundam seed is soo cool, i think its a one of the best cartoons around. even adults should watch it!

i needed to go to yf early today at 2.30, i was playing guitar for worship today. abit nervous laa, but its normal, cos its my first time playing guitar for yf worship. when i actually saw the songs for worship, i was really afraid. alot of the songs had funny chords like Gsus7 and G2, which i'v never seen before, or at least played before in my entire life! fortunately, there was james (peter's brother) who helped me out alot. he's acoustic guitar is really stylo. looking at my classical, whoa miserable. haha, anway, james really knew his chords and he taught me alot of stuff i didnt know about.

the carer caree system for 05 started today also. guess who's my caree?! he's/she's...! NOT telling!! haha, keep guessing. ah, i really hope my carer is a girl. cos you know girls tend to be more caring.. ;) guys.. argh (excluding me laa) i can't imagine guys caring (except me). jking laa, there are some guys out there that are caring (including me), i said SOME. haha, my caree will be very cared for. (i'm so ego :) not like me)

yea, after yf, i went to ang mo kio to shop. end up not buying anything except the 'kung fu hustle' DVD. went home and then switch on com to watch it. i tell its soO funny laa, can die laughing you know. just watched finish and its already 11plus, rushing to write finish.. okay i think thats the end, goodnite people!

*for those who are wondering, a carer is someone who cares for a specific someone, and a caree is someone who is cared by a specific carer. so, what we do is we actually write our name down on a piece of paper, then we all put it into a bag. after which, we randomly (without seeing) pick a sheet of paper from the bag. and wa la, whoever's name is on that paper will be your caree! likewise your carer is the one who picks your paper.

Whew, close one

Today was a 'hot' day for me i guess, i can't find a correct word to describe it. i was worrying all along about demerit issue thing, and i gave kannan the letter to pass to joseph wong. i started the day by finding jon zhang's wallet on the floor, i went to his class and returned it to him. is he lucky or what?! still worrying.

POD (philosophy of siscipline) today was okay, not really exciting as it should be. maybe its because of the teacher.. haha. had to do recess duty again, fifth time this week already! ate.. i can't remember what i ate during recess. nothing much about the lessons today, except maybe chem prac which was a rush for time. oh yar, the chem quiz was superduper difficult to do. half the questions i anyhow do then the other half i leave blank, you tell me how to pass?

what was 'hot' today was MEP. mrs lee thought us! ah! her teaching style is totally different from ms ng laa. never joke around, very very seldom. and she's very strict, plus she doesn't cry when she's angry, :) at least the lesson wasn't boring. 2 and A half hrs of MEP from 1.30 to 4, sian ah. still got guitar from 5 to 7 somemore, aiyoh. missed the prefects' invest. rehearsal, its my first time so i better learn my lines!

'hot'ter still, joseph wong approached me during guitar to talk about my letter of resignation from NCC. i was SOOOO scared, scared he give me another demerit point or something bad. whew. fortunately, he didnt give me another demerit point, in fact, he withdrew the one he issued before! i was so glad and relieved! he talked about how i could not quit NCC and stuff, and i just listened and agreed along the way. ms ng was there too, telling me about how i should not quit NCC and how she'll try to accomodate guitar to NCC, try. ah, anyway i'v reconsidered and i dont think i wanna quit NCC anymore.. a mature decision from a mature boy. in fact i will strive to do my best and hopefully my effort will be recognized!

Goodnite!

Demerit Point! ME?

I was totally shocked when Loga told me that i had been issued a demerit point. I thought he was just joking, but when he brought me to the noticeboard and i saw my name in bold letters that i will be issued a demerit point, i nearly fainted! Why? Why have i been issued a demerit point? it turned out that it was because i had missed NCC trainings without getting letters of excuse.

they had gotten it all wrong. i made it clear around a week ago that i wanted to quit NCC, how can i skip NCC if i'm NOT in NCC! i'm really scared that a demerit point will be issued to me (especially when i'm a prefect). the whole of the afternoon i had been searching for mr joseph wong to explain to him my side of the story, and to clear the misunderstanding. i called him like 3 times between 10 minute intervals but he wasn't at his desk! that made me even more nervous. so i decided to write him a letter instead. so here i am in front of the com screen typing my excuse (that was ten minutes ago).

i really hope that he will understand my pitiful stand and withdraw the demerit point! AHHHH!!

other than the demerit issue, nothing much happened today. whole class got scolded by ms jean luah, she screamed and yelled really loudly til it was deafening, even paul can't compete with her. after school i stayed back for guitar until six, super boring. i was worrying about the demerit point all the time. God pls help me!

melissa's inspirational speeches

today was a fun day i guess. language arts rock, never a boring moment. the worse thing that happened to me today is the chinese teacher. whats her prob? tell us test is today but when she came into class she told us no time to do test so postponed. bloody! i spent long hours (all in school) studying for the test laa and then she.. wah lao. no time to do test my foot, we had like 50+ minutes laa. aiyoh, don't care her already laa.

after school, guess what? we played baseball in class. we played for more then 45 minutes laa, so fun. we rolled up scrap paper into a ball then wrap it around with super alot of tape, until its super hard. we used the dust pan as baseball bat, so creative rite? haha. matthew, me, kenneth and shao wei one team. we were at first losing laa (to dalton's bunch) but eventually managed to equalise. haha, must try that again!

back at home today, i had music lesson. dunno why but i alwys have minor heart attacks before music lesson. i think its because i alwys never practise piano and do theory and then i worried music teacher scold me and blah bla.. what i noticed from my piano teacher (melissa, mrs) is that every lesson she has an 'inspirational speech'. about how her other students were actually failures then she encouraged them and they bucked up, the ending you know ah (its always happy), that student scored distinction in grade 8 and blah bla.. every lesson she has new speeches to deliver, after awhile its get to you, you get guilty then you finally buckle and do what she says. BUT, thats not my case, haha! thats all for today i guess, just started reading 'malgudi days', at page 56, not bad for a start. C ya.

Gunners Defeat

ahhhh! I still can't believe arsenal lost to man utd. again! this is so not happening. how can they lose 4-2? especially to man utd! there was seriously a big gap in the gunner's defence and i tell you goalkeeper alumnia s*cks! bring back lehmann!!
if arsenal loses the next premiership match i'm gonna faint. henry do something! bring the gunners back!

SYF jitters

today we went to the conference hall after school for SYF sound check. i tell you, first they said it was until 5, then they said 6.30, but the stupid thing ended at 8!! after school got nothing to do, go library and stone. then we wanted to play soccer but got no ball, when got ball that time no one playing, *sigh*.
later went dover market to eat the famous dover chicken rice. i was so full i gave shao wei some of my share, he so big size must eat more. bus ride to the conference hall was boring, me and shao wei listen to blink182 live songs on his mP3. the songs super funny la, a must hear. we also listened to switchfoot, christian punk band according to shao wei. not bad a band actually, their songs are nice.
the worse thing about today is that i dunno how to play the second part of sevilla (peeple in guitar know very well). i pretend to finger around and strum and pluck, but no sound produced. aiyoh, jialat. must learn that piece already, SYF is just around the corner in march i think. wish myself the best! God Bless and goodnite!
