The Hopeful Rants...

The Soon to be forgotten blog post

2009-05-25T18:35:00.002+08:00

OH YEAH~! SPA is finally over. Time for us to make a new agenda. A-DIV and MYE here we go.
Today was a good day, with lots of breaks and ultimately, physics spa went well. Rushed home for GP tuition today, so i couldn't join the class for dinner...=( sad

but anyway, boarded the bus with Hong Zuo, talked abit. Cutting the long story short he then mentioned, aren't you tired. I said no, but apparently after he got off, his words seemed to ring in my head, take a break derrick, rest derrick. So i Did. The next thing i knew when i woke up, was that i had arrived at tanah merah station. Shit, it wasn't the first time, but it really did piss me off. What the heck la, i thought. after pausing for a moment, i decided to walk the long way back home...

The following thoughts are going to be very sentimental. so if you're not into mushy stuff...U See that red cross over at the top right hand corner of the screen Yah? It's calling for you Yah? Go on...Click it Yah? Problem solved Yah?

So anyway, i walked the long wayhome...Then i saw many things that jolted my childhood memories. The old market place along changi road, the shops the benches, the pavement the sheltered walkways. Then i got all sentimental... I realised what i had missed for the past few years. My childhood was spent there. the tireless days where my dad would dutifully pick me up from the childcare center or tuition centre, and cycle me home through those walkways.

as the years went by, i forgot about the place, as i frequent it lesser and lesser. My daily activities shifted from changi bedok to Marine Parade...Now I am even further North, at Lorong Chuan...-_-

As i continued to walk through my humble hometown, i slowly noticed the blend of old and new, Then i realised that everything is changing. The old is being phased out graudually, what used to be a library turned into a PAP branch. A multistory carpark, repainted buildings. I did feel a sense of loss. for I did not treasure them.

Change is good, it makes one treasure the past. It creates hope for the future, and it makes the present ever more unpredictable.

Change is the only contant they say
Its all Good...

So beautiful...

Suneohair - Waltz (lyrics translation)

Rubbing my unopened eyelids, I can see

Into a pastel-patterned future

I’ll pursue an inlaid symbol

As my expression were pulled in closer
Say, what was it that I’ve been searching for?

That’s right, exactly when were those days

When we defied gravity to see each other / When we used to meet,

denying the attraction that was forming between us?
It’s like a waltz, isn’t it? So wondrous

At a crossroad lit with sunbeams seeming to whisper through the trees

As the two of us rotate as if in a waltz,

We express ourselves
Throwing up all my overheated emotions,

I could see the landscape

Over half a year ago, I made it smolder

By setting the image on fire
What was it that I’ve lost?

Even so, I’m fine, I tell you

We’ll probably seek out comparisons with our gravity
It’s like a waltz, isn’t it? So lovely

As we listen to chirps that seem to murmur

As if we’re dancing a waltz, the two of us

Express ourselves

Ah, repaint reality, which is playing dumb, with primary colors

I’ll draw you close to me, so, please

From there on, let’s continue to dance

Our very own waltz
It’s like a waltz, isn’t it? So wondrous

At a crossroad lit with sunbeams seeming to whisper through the trees

As the two of us rotate as if in a waltz,

We express ourselves

Suicide is not an option...

2009-04-12T13:27:00.005+08:00

The japanese made suicide an "honorable" act, Ironically, suicide is viewed in current society as a form of cowardice, a quick and effective means of escape. This is WARPED...

NICKLE BACK - hero (spider man soundtrack)

2009-04-05T01:09:00.002+08:00

im so high, i could hear heaven
im so high, i could hear heaven
oh but heaven
no heaven don't hear me

(chorus:)
and they say that a hero could save us
im not gonna stand here and wait
oh hold on to the wings of a hero watches the hope fly away

someone told me love would all save us
but how can that be look what love gave us
a world full of killing and blood spilling
that world never cant

(chorus:)
and they say that a hero could save us
i'm not gonna stand here and wait
oh hold on to the wings of a hero watches the hope fly away

ah ha oh! and now that the world isnt ending
its love that im sending to you
and its in the love of a hero and thats why i fear it wont do
and they say that a hero could save us
im not gonna stand here and wait
oh hold on to the wings of a hero watches the hope fly away
and there watching us
there watching us
as the hope flys away
and there watching us
there watching us
as they all fly away
and there watching us
there watching us
as they all fly away

Id like to thank
Qixiong - for constantly encouraging me that i can improve my running time. constantly giving me tips and tricks to survive the rigors of 2.4.

Eddie, Ronald and Jin Jia - also for encouraging me, pushing me over my limits

Stanley - for providing me such awesome shoes

Woo ADIZERO

Jeremy and Saha - for being by my side and pacing with me during the morning PE runs

2009-03-07T16:17:00.002+08:00

Was an utter failure... I mean cancelling the event just because of a little rain. What do you think we're made of...Sugar? Melt in the rain? So disappointed. Pity those who came all way from the west... and 3km=cross country?!? I don't even think people can cross to malaysia...haiz...What is this school trying to pull off...I don't even want to talk about it anymore...

hwa..friday exams Ova~!

Days of relaxation spent in front of my computer, dawning in my pyjama pants the entire day. the fan whistling away beside me. Ahh this is the life~...

These are 2 Anime series I've watched and loved. the careful use of language, atmosphere and music, tries to bring out (although some times dramatic) the truest feelings one can have for another. It is sometimes difficult to understand human nature, and especially in today's society, we hardly even see this happening. I never liked Korean dramas, because the way they spout out "I love you" like retards is sometimes too direct and anticipated.

it is interesting to see how they craft their sequences and use music at the end to finish off the episode. even a simple gesture at the end can bring out that "kimochi" thing.

As Meaningless as my short break might be...

Hong Gan lah...

BLock Test TOmorroWsS SIARhARarah. Anyway...

Just came back from the OCBC cycle 40km challenge.

Shiok to the max i tell you. cycling on closed roads where traffic police actually give you priority for the first time. Cars have to siam. also especially when over taking those noobies (Paiseh i sound abit harsh, I apologise). I was the last batch to set off. coz I put in my registration that i took more than 90 min to complete 40 klick. but i think i took an 1h 15min +-? haha passing the people one by one, wave by wave. All the Chiobu ushers cheering us on, i swear i power up whenever i hear their voice lor... You rock girls... I also have to thank the random aunties and uncles who also encouraged us. Such nice people.

Morning: 645 am. (HUGE) Crowd moves into F1 pit building

Starting line, still a bloody huge crowd, close to 4000 participants i think

Hot chicks from SMU

After the whole waiting and all, finally set of at around 750am...

abter about 20 kilometres halfway, started to show signs of cramps

After the Race: roughly around 9 30. Shaggeded to the maxed, got of my bike, immediately cramped up in 3 different places.

That's me on the left, adriel's on the right, complaining why his neh look so big in the photo.

We even gots our medals to show for it.

10+ am, met up with adriel's parents, and they gave me a lift back home. As you can see the bike rack at the rear of the car.

yeah...Adriel's parents are awesome, I really have to thank them for going thru all the trouble to bring us there and back.

Well, that's about all, i might decide to write about the course of the race another time. But for now, its Crunch time, ECONOMICS, IMMA GONNA BRING YOU DOWN...

Costumes GaLore~!

2009-02-21T18:13:00.004+08:00

People have been asking why my blog is so dead.

Sigh.. It's coz there's nothing i can blog about. life is so mundane and routine.

Morning wake up go school, spend 15 hrs in school, go home sleep, rinse and repeat.

IF you guys really want to know...i guess i could just write something about the mundane.

Interestingly,

Over the course of 2 days, 4 shirts have been added to my collection

Who says men can't look good in pink. Yes that's right. I've got a pink class T shirt(finally)

the whole class wore it to school on friday dress down day.

countless stares lined our path as wee walked into the parade square

We're gonna be famous. Such a bright outstanding colour, where suddenly out of nowhere you see 1 whole group of pinkies walking around. Now that's class spirit. when we gay, we gay together.

We even spurred on some gossiping among the tutors. Even Mr kwek...laughs

Mr Kwek:"why that whole class wear pink? very outstanding you know. wah..."

then later that day, he approached us again.

Mr Kwek:"Hello, I can see you from the other side of the canteen. Yar. you know your Pink class T-shirt is very bright no, very outstanding yar.. Who designed it?"

Me:" It's me"

then he points to some of us, asking who is who

Mr Kwek:" Mmm...very good, i like it. you know, one day you all should go out together and watch pink panther, then you'll appear in the newspaper."

We all laughed our head off man...Mr Kweks a funnyman...

Andre:" Wah Mr kwek compliment you man. you must feel very honoured"

then wee siang best.

Wee Siang:" Wait tomorrow you find yourself invited to join the AEP.lol"

That's not all, Finally we got our HEI LONG. although it looks kind of gay to me, coz it's quite small and tight fitting. =/ I remember when i first join DB. initiation for our first bai long. thinking back, feels that i've come so far to this stage. already we have only 4 months left.

although "I FEEL THAT" it just seems too easy. I know the J1s are coming in earlier this year. but i find that we're not ready for hei long. discipline-wise, we're so screwed up. Dicision making skills also lacking. Hunger for medals lacking. I begin to feel that the CCA is becoming very slack.

Compared to NY volley ball, training hard everyday, never complaining about trivial stuff.

i think my batch might be a little screwed up.

Nonetheless, i will still work hard, especially in the eyes of the J1s, as a senior, as a member of the team. as a dragonboater.

Ooooooooh...RACE day is TOMORROW.. went to F1 pit building with adriel to collect our race pack. Anxious about tomorrow, hope it'll all turn out well. The shirt's cool man, so worth 43 bucks. the racing googles too. STYLE to the MAX.

Wish me luck, OCBC cycle, imma gonna own your @ss.

for now, gotta get back to econs. Block test starts monday. @.@ shockening, im gonna be so shaggeded after tomorrow. i hope i can cram it all in...

Cats...cats...cats...(part 2)

2009-02-06T22:21:00.005+08:00

Seems like I have taken a great interest in cats now... not that i wasn't curious as a cat about cats already. Or maybe because I am emotionally unattached, suddenly pouring out my affection onto them. Whatever the reason, i think catgirl... a.k.a. Tiak Hui had a part to play in this...

These are her paintings..Gosh...SO reaListic

And so The Chronicles of Derrock and the LOLcats began...

Here we see the Factory cats, Okay, maybe not as original as the Alley cats, but nevertheless.

this was the pair of cats that were unusually friendly. "Silky Black", the one on top was the male cat who bitch slapped "One-eyed Bitch slapped" the bottom one who was a female. Apparently not all opposites attract. I was the one who got them into a fight though. =/ she was hissing at him at after that.

Shortly after that "bitch Slapped" walked out into the open and began Emoing. she wasn't even responsive to my poking. =/ sorry girl.

And here silky black egoistic as ever, cleaning himself.

Well that just about sums up everything that happened that night.

To end of with a quote, When ever you just got Pwned in Counterstrike, blame LEEEEEEEROY!!!!!

Cats Cats Cats...

2009-02-05T21:16:00.002+08:00

Recently I've been noticing the cats around my estate becoming very affectionate. Its quite interesting coz you go to every corner, a cat would come to your feet, and rub its head, brushing its fur around your legs and wag(i don't know if im using the correct term here) its tail. carassing the cat, you could even feel its pur vibrating through your fingers.

just tonight, I met 5 cats, each of them took turns to weave around my legs. I don't know how to describe the feeling, all i can say is that it's heart warming i guess

i have a gut feeling thaet tells me that its the mating season for the cats. that may explain the insessant calling and their highly territorial behaviour. Lol, when i tried to "cou cuo" 2 cats together, they resisted my pushing until finally, the Male cat scratched the female cat in the face. Ouch! Woops =S it was quite comical, which later turned a cold war. With a quiet one eyed cat spectating, the female cat moved about 5 metres away before lying down on the floor. Apparently it was "emoing". It stopped calling even when i stroked her, just layed there quietly...

I felt quite bad after that... :P

What derrick means...

2009-01-25T01:27:00.002+08:00

Woopah~! My computer is finally repaired, all thanks to my uncle.
Let's celebrate by entering my name in the urban dictionary for no apparent reason...

Derrick

Meaning intellectual, or very bright. Also, may be the stage of inercourse when the male may become aroused, or sexually ready for intercourse. When semen flows to the penis. When the penis becomes excited and gets hard and "stands up", for the sexual pleasure of a female, or another male.
Female: "Hunny, did you Derrick yet?" Male: "Wait, I just got it, let's go!"

2.
Derrick

an asshole who thinks only of himself. someone who does not understand the meaning of friendship, who takes people for granted, and will do anything for his own instant gratification.
He's just another Derrick, don't waste you're time!

3.
derrick

Noun and verb employed by the socially marginalised in the North-East of England to describe the kind of loser who, in a social group, is only tolerated because he makes everybody else feel better about themselves.
We all hate that guy who keeps hanging around - he's a complete derrick - but at least him being there makes us look less like losers, right?

4.
derrick
A whiny little bitch who has aids hair.
Dude #1: Hey who's that bald motherf***er?
Dude #2: Don't worry about that aids-hair bitch. It's just derrick.

Wooh... the world really hates me...

IMMA BROKE~!

2008-11-01T13:28:00.005+08:00

Friday ah friday, why can't my weekend end on a high. man you guys are damn slow lah, and i thought i was already lifeless myself. After our OP dry run, we took a break...A very very long break... Mr Low, our CT decided to relax abit and joined us for a bishi bashi game. not much happened. the nipple song came back, so did the rabbit game. the owe me $10 jay chou parody was getting old. anyway, after 5 hours of intense slacking, we finally initiated lunch...You guys ah...

me, james, liesel, lawrence, xue li, eng tuan and andre decided to head on to AMK hub for lunch. Out of the blue came a movie suggestion by semaj...MAN THIS IS THE 3RD MOVIE I'VE SEEN THIS WEEK

Post-lunch was a horrible wait, we ended up stoning for 30 min b4 deciding to head to the ticket booth.

nothing to say,,,

frm left: andre, engtuan, liesel, xueli, what they call zho bo ( doing nothing ) really 吃饱没事做.
after a long half hour wait, i think the girls got fed up and we kinda ended up going our separate ways.

Sigh...

we were suppose to book the movie tickets, but what, i think we took another 15 minutes to decide what movie to watch. That bloody sly ticket booth person dare tell us no discount. Even though we were clearly students. after another 10 minutes of confusion, we even had to call liesel up to settle the tickets...Yeah, we got our discount, but at what price? Very Malu leh eh guys.

after settling the tickets, we went to macs to stone for another hour, by then i wonder what progress have the girls made.

frm left: james behind eng tuan, lawrence behind andre, and ME, the photographer.

So this is the picture of the day...a plastic cup...how uninteresting.

we managed to catch High school musical 3, hur hur, it was the only enjoyable part coz i got to see...VENNESA HUDGEN hur hur

She's got the cute kind of sex appeal, this might be her iconic pose, but what i like most is her smile.

So thats pretty much it... I won't say I had a great time. to be honest, i think the outing kinda sucked. I don't even want to talk about what happened at night anymore...

Meet...Dr. Ross Lee Sai Kang~!

2008-10-21T19:07:00.004+08:00

One night i was walking home from my neighbourhood pizza hut with my family and relatives. I "chanced" upon this interesting sight. Gees... though it was on my walking route to school, i haven't noticed it until now. My life must suck so bad i don't even care about my surroundings anymore. Imagine, 10 months of not noticing this sign~!!! What did i miss......

so this is Sai Kang. wahaha looks like we've found a new sai kang warrior.

Wow his parents must have gone through alot of shit to get him out, that's why they named him that way.

K on to my life, not much has happened as usual, Project work is a pain as usual. However, I have to thank Mr Andre Too for introduing this game to me. DJ Max portable 2

Man I'm now addicted. Such an exciting game of rhythmic button mashing, i thought was meant only for those arcade goers.

So much for my social life... Seems like it's going down the drain pretty much. I'm so unsure of my social status among my friends now, one day we're close, the next we're not. The most depressing part is that she seems to be avoiding me...=/ I think i was too rough on her for the past few months...Sooner or later, I'll probably cease to exist.

I guess it's better to not think about such things, we should just give ourselves a break from life everynow and then. So we can't be friends, but at least i still have my paddle and my bike and my PSP by my side.

Lastly, the dying will bullet of the vongola clan must show soon~! DAMN those animators. Can't they get a proper plot going without any fillers. they filled the first 25 episodes, i think it's time we moved on...

Hey Hey...Quick monthly update time

2008-10-01T21:45:00.004+08:00

...F1's the rage now.
Not that I'm interested or anything, i just like to see cars crash...

Promos are coming to an end, but then there's PW, the other endless shit...

not training for 3 weeks has made me horribly restless. i think i'm only left with circum-chest liao la.

latest music I listen to is this geeky taiwanese artist by the name of Lu Guang Zhong. Don't be fooled. He can probably go many octaves higher than an average person.

Wootness Speedo is here. I feel the need for speed, though the rain is a downpour.

Now for the picture of the Day..

Judo Ka?

2008-09-05T00:40:00.002+08:00

Hey asshole...

2008-09-02T20:39:00.003+08:00

Call me asshole 1 more time...
Haha this is a line from Hancock which I watched yesterday which I know i shouldn't have watched since promos are in 3 weeks' time.

I'm sure this picture has no link to hancock whatsoever but hey, there's an asshole on the chair, Great job designers.

I'm sure you'll be thinking that this post is meaningless by now, so I'll end here...Wait a minute...Examination in progress in the guys toilet?!?

I find my reality only in fiction...

2008-08-28T23:59:00.004+08:00

In other words, self-delusion, a world devoid of all trouble and woes, yet when I return from it, sudden shock of life gets hold. 25 days. I shall not return from my slumber before that.
Forget all my troubles, forget all my worries, enjoy the life within my life and hope for the best.
Let us continue to hope...

I find my reality only in fiction...

2008-08-28T23:59:00.001+08:00

Masculinely Graceful...Or maybe not...

2008-08-10T14:07:00.002+08:00

Wow, the 2008 beijing olympic Gymnast are really good. Masculinely graceful I say, I mean jus t look at them, not that I'm gay, but i aspire to be 1/10th of them. Just enough to be able to cushion me when i fall off my bike. haha right...like ronald once said, I train my biceps so that i can use it as a pillow so that i can sleep. Speaking of falling, i searched youtube for some bloopers, and here's what i got. feel free to browse further.

God...I'm such a sadist...

I'd love to get the gymnast handguards though. With that I can say bye bye to painful blisters when doing pull ups.

2008-07-31T22:14:00.003+08:00

hey, aint life wonderful? wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... isnt it wonderful
Now?

I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope its over when I open them
I want the things that I had before
Like a star wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again
Hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry
Close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday
Promises mean everything when youre little
And the worlds so big
I just dont understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now
(Na na na-na na naah na)
(Na na na-na na naah na)
(Na na na-na )
Please dont tell me everything is wonderful now
I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that its all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends wont know
When the bell rings I just dont wanna go home
Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I dont believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday
Promises mean everything when youre little
And the world is so big
I just dont understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now
(Na na na-na na naah na) No
(Na na na-na na naah na) No, I dont wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
(Na na na-na na naah na) No
(Na na na-na na naah na) No, I dont wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
I dont wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday
No (no), no (no), no (no), no
I dont wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No (no), no (no), no (no), no
I dont wanna meet your friends
And I dont wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything
I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please dont tell me everything is wonderful now...
I dont wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

At least the 7th month culture doesn't seem so bad
the lights in the streets are AT LEAST pretty.

How I wish to gaze upon the city lights once again...

2008-07-29T23:52:00.003+08:00

ever since JAE started, I haven't been able to roam the city with my CT/OG/EX-art class/Ex-Scouters. After looking at my friends' Camwhoring photos I thought, how nice it would be to have a really good location for a school like SAJC. The whole CBD is within eye shot. You can see Singapore flyer too I hope. Wouldn't it be nice to chill in Suntec city, the esplanade or at marina bay?

Sure our OG outtings were Okay, but we always end up having dinner...well mostly...DB does it the same. We'll go PS only to eat...never did roam the streets, well there was one time, with a small group (again during PAE). Well i needn't say about ex-art class, but worth mentioning was valentines' day, the whole group was there and bla bla bla chill out.

Argh what's with our school, is the cheena culture seeping into all of your brains? Since when have you all become so conservative? goddamnit, school's not everything in life, education isn't either. A life is given to you to LIVE it, go live it and don't say you don't have a choice...

BAhhh...needless to say I'm very frustrated by the fact that my daily routine is becoming well... very routinely mundane...At least give me a place to Emo with all of you....

MAY I SUGGEST A PROPER CLASS OUTING ON ONE OF THE WEEKENDS, PREFERABLY AT NIGHT...

Meet the love of my life

2008-07-28T17:16:00.006+08:00

She is the one.
She is red Hawt
She is sexy
She is slender
She is fast
She squeaks when I squeeze her.

She is my BIKE~!

I have never felt this way before, it is a feeling I can't describe. She gives me an extreme sense of euphoria and exhilaration when ever I take her out.

"The only thing that can cheer me up is you. Just seeing you smile makes me feel better. As they say True love is one where you see him/her happy. Or maybe it just a feeling fabricated from fiction or TV dramas. I do not know. It feels different from before, unlike what I used to feel. I never had the guts to tell you how i truly felt, nor can i guarantee happiness. "

IF she were human...
I haven't even given her a name yet...Carolyn? @.@ ~ haha Nahhh~!!

What the hell is going on in there?

2008-07-26T19:25:00.004+08:00

Hearing from XR about his life in JC makes me feel that I'm (un)lucky enough not to be in VJC.
But Can't help but want to put myself in his shoes and look at things in his light. I thought through rationally about what I said in the previous blogpost and i take it all back. This is for all you VS-VJ folks out there.

From what I heard, homework is given non-stop, lectures are too fast paced, and extremely difficult exams resulting in hard to swallow academic results.

It's difficult to know who to trust? People in NY are more genuine? backstabbers? Closet muggers? These were the words that came out of MuYao's mouth, if that is so. I really don't know what to imagine.

CCAs are falling apart. XR, I did feel really awful when you told me the worst that happened. Though i do feel that my cca is not as close as it use to be, but it is nothing compared to what you had experienced. This is his story, his kayaking team comprised of 4 juniors including himself. 2 guys and 2 girls, and it didnt feel complete. I saw a photo that he took and they could only form the first 4 letters of Kayak. It turned out fairly amusing at first but looking at it now it isn't all that funny anymore. The seniors had passed over, and shortly after the two girls left. He knew that the seniors were the ones who pulled the team together but after they left, everything just fell apart. I'm really sorry to hear about that.

Friends are falling apart. What happened to the dynamic trio. XR, Ong, Toh and the few others.
Is stress getting the better of everyone? Now that he's mentioned it, Ong really isn't himself lately. Those corny jokes are disappearing from his blogposts, and now, it's closed. Toh doesn't seem to hang around them anymore.

Is this the harsh reality of life? Compared to them, it seems like I'm already in cloud 9.
I don't want to feel left out, all these months you've all been keeping it to yourselves.
Please talk to me, sound out your problems, like what I do. I don't want to see you all like this. With that, I hope you'll all get better and stop being emo.

not bad for a start.

If only our classes were this animated...

2008-05-01T22:53:00.003+08:00

Then classes would never be boring again. Well our chinese teacher did try it once, however quite unsuccessful, most of us could sing...especially Ren Jie, Yu Jie, and Andre. Hmm...

Bummer, looks like I'm planning to fail my econs test. that brings it to 3, first chem, then math, now this. So tired. Morning pull-ups are beating down hard on my biceps. I need to become stronger...and fast. I should start my own endurance training. My running still can't meet the mark. Well today was so shagging i fell asleep in my bus all the way to Changi Airport. Shucks, wasted another 45 min travelling back. But well, at least i had the whole bus to myself, and i got to have a glance at the new T3 security check system. Radical road block which, with a press of the switch, disappears into the ground. Nothing else interesting i guess, so that's about what I have to say. Not much has happened to me lately, haha, the more i keep this blog, the more no life i remind myself to have.
Life bites...

Nooo... This is Dragonboat.
Competition is just around the corner. People might be thinking, time sure flies. But fear not, just imagine twenty paddlers in a sleek boat. The drummer's call takes it away instantly and each paddler moves in unison. Echoes of piercing screech "SHA" tremors the nearby waters ( and boats ) The boat lifts and surges forward with each stroke as the team becomes one. It's not just about the race. It is about the challenge. It is about being on the water with friends.

I hope this inspirational quote will help us in our race this saturday. In the mean time, here are some interesting facts if anyone out there is interested in reading these interesting articles.

Oh my how time flies when you are engaged in activity.
Sorry guys, haven't been able to update my blog lately, but I suppose you cant have that high hopes for my blog to update every single day. I seemed to have magically abstained from the computer alot more than I did last time. Nevertheless, I will try to update you guys on my current situation at least once every month...

Soo...It's been a hectic month worrying about homework, project work (damn 1st draft is due tomorrow and I still have no idea), worrying about whether there will be enough girls in the girls' team. I can see that they are struggling to keep their current members, worrying about the endurance of the guys' team and the willingness to push ourselves.

On a higher note. We've gotten through initiation~!! I've passed NAFTA~!!! And OUr first COMpeTition is JuST AROund THE CORNER~!!!!

JIAYOU PPL, WE CAN DO THIS THING~!!!

Life Sucks. Period.

2008-03-16T23:42:00.000+08:00

Aahh~Sigh~~~~~~~~~~~~...
Life's getting mundane...routined...too predictable and unexciting.
Feels like I could just lie in bed for eternity, that really beats what I'm going through right now.
March holidays just came to an epic closure, epically dull that is. Finished about a quarter of what is expected of my "holiday" homework...Not really looking forward to anything at the moment, especially Project work. Oh? I swear I hear the echos of cursing N swearing N whining over at the other end of the computer screen. *Fuck* Oops, my bad...that's my inner voice.
Let's see what else. Ah yes, I wish to talk about a japanese restaurant I went to at suntec city. Around the Fountain of Wealth, business isn't booming like it's suppose to. I thought if feng shui is good, people will come? Arh who cares about such superstitious bull anyway.
Cutting the crap~So as I was saying, Hosoi Teppan-Yaki House is the place. Though outrageously overpriced, it was a very unique experience. Its a Japanese cuisine, with a touch of french. Portions are small, courses are many, and almost every set comes with half a lobster. The lobster is something else I should add, fresh, succulent, sweet. not like any lobster you've tasted in any chinese restaurant. (pics coming up soon). My set came without a lobster, but I had appitizers, soup, salad, a main course of tenderlion steak and desert. I suppose going there during lunch time would be cheaper. Oops, should I even be saying all this? DBers, don't kill me~! Xd this is only a once in a blue moon thing.

DB training =)

2008-03-13T00:48:00.000+08:00

Waa~! I haven't been blogging for ages. No time lar (that's a lame excuse). No Mood larh (yeah...Right), No Money LARX (wait, now that's going out of point). Enufwiftehcrap. Today was the 2nd DB training of the march holidays. On my way to SDBA from Kallang, I chanced upon this amusing sight.

There was this fisherman, and this stray cat (ya la I know my artist impression sucks la but i forgot to bring my camera phone). So this malay dude, uncle to be exact, was out leisure fishing. And then the most amazing thing, this cat, just strolled along behind him, Playing~!! With a piece of leaf or something. Both waiting patiently for a catch. This is a perfect example of 不劳而获-ing.

DB run was maddening today. The guys decided to run up a highway, what they call shear's bridge? Didn't spot out any signboards. Such distances aren't meant for an average person, much less a below average person like me. The worst part was the uphill climb. Damn the oxygen just thinned down, and then ppl like me, end up gasping for air. How to solve this oxygen debt problem? Sigh...If only I was....

But then again, I felt accomplished today, didn't know I could run such a long distance. 3+/4km? I think. although I still lack speed, my strides won't seem to widen. The seniors keep having to push me. I guess I should continue to run more in school...GARH~!!

Where art thou guitar capo...

2008-03-04T19:57:00.001+08:00

SHHHIIITTT...
I lost my guitar capo...and i dont have a tuner. HOW~!?!?! cannot play face down by red jumpsuit apparatus le..
SHHHIIITTT...

You want a hug? You need a hug?

2008-02-29T18:36:00.000+08:00

check out this dude, he's my source of entertainment...

haha I especially liked the part where he said,"You need help carrying your stuff? You NEED help CARRYING your STUFF?!?! YOu can CARRY YOur Own SHIT!...

Here's another 1. Didn't really help much.

How can I be happy when my whole future is at stake here.

I should go punch some shy people now...

Just Screw it~!!!

2008-02-28T20:41:00.000+08:00

I fell sick today, thus I couldn't go to school... Sorry I had to skip DB training yesterday... I wonder what people will think of me. A weakling, maybe? How to survive initiation like that.

Anyway, yesterday was the PW Live! festival. Went through it unwillingly, found out that I was a turtle. Shucks~! This will mean that whoever is in my group will die. So pray hard you don't get me ppl...

Truth to be told, I am a turtle(avoiding), an owl(collaborating) and a fox(compromising), which speaks alot about me. my scores were 31, 29 and 28 respectively, which means that my personality is quite screwed up. 2 extreme ends that conflict each other. So about them:
The Turtle
-gives up personal goals and relationship.
-believes it is hopeless to try to resolve conflicts.
-believes it is easier to withdraw from a conflict than to face it.
The Owl
-values highly goals and relationships
-views conflicts as problems to be solved and seeks a solution that achieves both his goals and the goals of the other person in a conflict.
-maintains the relationship by seeking new solutions that satisfy both himself and the other person.
-is not satisfied until a solution is found that achieves his own goal and the other person's goal.
The Fox
-is moderately concerned... Argh u get the idea.

All that was mentioned was clearly in play during the 1st month of this year. My previous posts can serve as evidence. The way I gave up appealing to other JCs despite the fact that I worked so hard to get to that point. The way I gave up after being rejected by NYAEP. The way I gave up on everything else including my goals and relationships, proved that I was clearly a turtle.
Shame on me. Well, I'm just barely living with it, and I hope we can come to a compromise...

Still fretting...

2008-02-27T15:25:00.000+08:00

Garh~! I can't believe I'm still complaining about not being able to get into H2 art. >_<

I wished I had appealed to NJC instead, then again, I chose VJC instead, and NJC is so far away.
Then ARGH ARGH ARGH I can't bear to go on...

These are sentences quoted from derrick's peanuts for brains
"im not given a chance to exhibit my potential in a subject i'm best at."
Fineeeeee, I'm a lazy artist, kill me then.

"derrick is a waste of the earth's resources and is not useful to society, thus being a deadweight expenditure, should be exterminated to preserve the earth, for the greater of mankind"

I ought to be shot, no wait, I ought to have my balls ripped off, then begged to be shot...

Injustice is served, but I'm pressing on...

2008-02-24T18:34:00.000+08:00

Relient K - Pressing On

I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
There's only one thing left to do.
Drop all I have and go with you.

[Chorus:]Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.

I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Adversity, we get around it.
Searched for joy, in you I found it.

Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.

To go back to where I was would just be wrong.

I'm pressing on.

Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)

And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.

'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.

And to go back where I was would just be wrong

I'm pressing on.

You look down on me, but you don't look down on me at all.
You smile and laugh, and I feel the love you have for me.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here, and we're gonna make it after all

let Screw ups be screw ups, no time to mend them, leave them be and they will just crumble by themselves. Hah~! I can't be bothered any longer...

Relient K's songs are awesome when it comes to times like this. Hmm, should i consider converting myself to christian next...now that is the right question...

Seeyall in school tmr, and hopefully I can become mentally stronger by DB initiation. OSSUZ~!

The all THings Reject...ME

2008-02-23T12:39:00.000+08:00

FUX la, this time the harsh realities of life have really got to me.
Series of events interconnected, has brought judgment upon thyself.

Let's analyse the circumstances (a.k.a. snowballing Shit):
1) If I had not hooked myself to the computer, I would have spend more time on my subjects during primary school. Thus allowing me a better grade and entering the special stream.
This would allow me to take HCL which would be beneficial as I could enter TJC or NJC.

2) If I had not hooked myself to the computer, I would have been able to spend more time on improving my english in secondary school, which would at least allow me to improve 1 grade and enter VJC, or after taking HCL, (refer to 1) enter TJC or NJC

3) If I had not been so committed to Scouts in Secondary school, I could have developed in other areas and spend more time in English which might improve my grade by 1 which would allow me to enter VJC or TJC.

4) If I had not taken Art in Secondary School, I would not have gotten as good a grade in O levels, thus I would not have chose NY. Thus lessening the suffering.

5) If I had not taken Art in Secondary School, I could have spend more time on my English and improve my grade by 1, allowing me to enter VJC or TJC.

6) If I had not gotten 8 points for O levels, I would not have developed the false hope of entering VJC, thus I would have put in more effort to show NYAEP i was a worthy student.

7) If I had not gotten 8 points for O levels, I would not have put NY as a 4th Choice, thus allowing me to enter NYAEP nonetheless.

8) If I had not misinterpret the question on Induced magnetism in my 2nd prelim physics paper, I would have jumped 2 grades allowing me to enter VJ PAE thus allowing me to continue in JAE through appeal.

I was stupid, and narrow minded, and now you all know, but I believe that I will change, and you might not see the old derrick anymore very soon. Sorry to have to worry everyone, but I am fine now, ( I rmbed 1st day of O2 I almost broke down when i was forced to take the college pledge. ) Scary, but thankfully i resisted. Maybe I should listen to GH's advice, quote " Now is not the time to fall down, cry and move on, Now is the time to fall down and scold FUCK FUCK FUCK..."

haha, to all who are still worried about me, STOP WORRYING, I don't want to pull you all down with me~!!! I should return to my old/new self soon ( hopefully by monday ) Just give me some time and space to forget PAE...

Thanks

It was sad...

2008-02-20T05:51:00.000+08:00

Oh they built the ship Titanic, and when they had it through,They thought they had a ship that the water would not go through;But the Lord's almighty hand said that ship would never stand.It was sad when that great ship went down.

Oh it was sad, it was sad, it was sad when thatgreat ship went down (hit the bottom, brother)Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives;it was sad when that great ship went down.

Oh they sailed from Enga-land, and they headed for the shore,But the rich refused to associate with the poor.So they sent them down below, where they were the first to go.It was sad when that great ship went down.

Oh it was sad, it was sad, it was sad when thatgreat ship went down (hit the bottom, brother)Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives;it was sad when that great ship went down.

Oh it was an awful time for the people on the sea, And the band struck up with "Nearer My God to Thee."The captain tried to wire, but the wire was on fire;It was sad when that great ship went down.

So the moral of this story, as you can plainly see,Is to wear a life preserver when you go out to sea.Little children lost their lives as the waves came o'er the sidesIt was sad when that great ship went down.

Oh it was sad, it was sad, it was sad when thatgreat ship went down (hit the bottom, brother)Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives;it was sad when that great ship went down.

I DIDN"T GET INTO VJC...GARH<>oh it was sad

Trying my best to sound fine...

2008-02-19T18:15:00.000+08:00

Shucks, It's been a really hectic day for me. To think that i was a sure-in VJCian, was a mistake. Twas a huge mistake. Overconfidence and killed the Derrick. Anyway, It was still a last day for some of us, and I congratulate all of those who manage to get into the JC of their choice. And I wish them all the best.

Here are the last of OG 17 and others...

Can you tell? I was really moody

Still like that

Even with HER...

Y do I look as if I am avoiding her

at ice cube...

Don't mind me popping my head out and being extra extra

i look FINE in this photo, haha it must be because my face is cut off.

Can't say the same for this

I can't dance, 2 left feet..
Fuck...

Strawberry days...

2008-02-18T08:00:00.000+08:00

You wonder why I chose such a gay heading for this blog entry. Frankly speaking, I also dunno... Maybe I'm being sissified. OMG die liao, WHY~! first there was the pink bedsheets, then being overly hyped up during the angels n mortals game. Then there was the folding of hearts and flowers during valentines day, now pink SOCKS!?!?!

DiD someone kick my balls while i was asleep?

Anyway, PAE is coming to an end, so is my stay in NYJC. *tears* This is saddening, I'm emo-ing here again liao. My sweet strawberry days are souring, and I wish I could be trapped in this timeframe, living the delusional days of unlimited joy and satisfaction. I will always remember the people who made my life worth living again...

Once again, Og 17

ART CREW~!

NYDB~! (suppose 2 have 1 more)

Yes, I do hope it doesn't end...

Kung Fu Guai Lan

2008-02-09T17:46:00.000+08:00

WARNING>>> IF YOU ARE A HARDCORE JAY CHOU FAN, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER

The more i watch Jay Chou movies, the more i think he is cheating his fans... People seem to be just watching the movie because he is there. I just watched KUNGFU DUNK today. What a total letdown. Sure, there were some flashy moves, but i think thats all there is to it. I say it is comparable to shaolin soccer or kungfu hustle. So in this movie Jay stars as Shi-Jie who is an orphan abandoned by his bankrupt father. He is taken in by a Kung Fu School in the middle of the city. This rebel poses frequently and tries to act cute, cool, and blur all at the same time...typical of Zhou Dong. Anywayz, i feel ta hat this film wasn't good because i think he overdid that, on the poster it all seems so cool and interesting, but in actual fact he gao xiao more than he act cool. Oh and there are alot of no-link things, (REALLY no-link) stuff appearing throughout the movie. Try connecting like poles of a magnet...U'll understand what i mean. K...enuf said, scarly HH or kaiser not happy come and beat me up. I would end off this review with a "Secret is a much better movie than this".

speaking of yesterday (feb, 8) I played my first Mahhh jong game, even though i didnt understand the rules, i managed to win 2 out of 4 games. Impressive eh...I feel so accomplished today, apart from the fact that i watched kungfu dunk XD...

I guess this year's celebrations ain't gonna be that boring after all... AND later i'm going to YY's house to bai nian, nt bad right,,,.

HAVE A HAIRY LUNAR NEW EAR...

2008-02-07T19:30:00.000+08:00

...Coz if you're going to china anytime soon, it saves you the trouble of buying ear muffs. ANNIE WAEEE, just to sum up the last few days, TUESDAY meesa went for DB circuit training. ARGH~! IM SO DAMN WEaK. N they make it look so easy...so i did a total of 90 push ups @.0,i fell after 50... like 30 reps of 5kg weight lifts. 30 pull ups, ( by then i couldn't go up after like 4?) heck, assist, assist. EP was like a monster, pulling himself up 17 times? then we had this endurance thing, it was shagging though i didnt feel any muscle strain. then some 120 twisted crunches. 90 log raises. My body is really beaten up right now. My abs hurt whenever i sneeze. I can't straighten my forearm even after 2 days. I'm officially a stiff man now, like arnold swaaxineiku.
WEDNESDAY WAS an uber random retard day. CNY celebrations at NY was crap...SO BORING, the stage games were so random, Y are the seniors all in house T shirts...VS had wushu(uber zai 1), choir, n even keely, the campus superstar. then some KC dancing. what did we have? okay la i probably think the lion dance was satisfactory, not very fantarstic. Guzheng so so, CO so so, THX LOR THE TEACHERS CAN"T SING FOR NUTS...
SO we had to unwillingly sit there for that 1h 30 min "show".I wonder whats it like in VJC...
Had lunch at parkway BK, met the NYAEPeeps, this 1 is super random, we joined them for a picnic, i would say it was an interesting experience. FUN lar. all so funky and spontaneous. feels like a family outing or sumthing. Had tidbits, bread n ham n all sorts of junk incapable of a normal feast. camwhored, played cards, played fresbie. I GUESS IT MUST BE FREEDOM I MIGHT SAY, not bound by any restrictions is best. Do what ever you like. makes me delusionally happy...
biked for an hour or so before packing up. RUSHED home to get ready for reunion dinner. look at the time, it was only 3.30pm .. . zzz... so this year we had dinner at 5, walked around chinatown. AWW little Jamie was ever so cute. they drove us home at 8, zo bo, came online, chatted like crazy, until abt 1am?
Today, superasskicking day, woke up late in the morning, went to uncle's place, spammed my cousins 350D and 40D with useless photos, ate my usual share of auntie's homemade curry. Its a yearly affair. Watched the nicolas cage movie "next" simply awesome, gave mandarin oranges, received tonnes of ANG PAOS, this year's reaping was awesome too. HUAT AH HUAT. after long hours of stoning and eat ing junk food, went to my other uncles place to slack, same routine. watched some retarded chnl 8 show about some indian comedy, and now im back home, hungry for more food...

MUST BE THE dragonboat training la, making me famished all the time. Anyways as u can see from the way i wrote, i was tired and point forming up everything. Anyways hope u guys de-pao your ang paos and get good stuff...
May the paos be with you.

Of course you will 1want the paos to be with you, which dumbass would leave his paos lying on the floor anyways... hahaha

Enough of the Environment already...

I felt really Hi-Lo today. Dragonboat training at noon was tough... I couldn't run with the team yet again coz i sucked. 2-3km at a pace faster than my 2.4 is simply shagging. Breathlessness grabs my lungs so tight, depriving it from letting any oxygen enter my bloodstream, resulting in loss of speed and power. The numbness was overwhelming and I had to slow down... After the Run, it was like a ton of rock on my legs. I fall off balance every few steps. ARGH~ I didnt get to go out to sea, coz my food was tumbling within my stomach, ready to come out anytime. Weak...I curse my wretched body for not functioning the way I expected of it. Spent close to 3 hours on land, alone. A feel really pariah-lised coz I am so nooby...until to two senior seniors can back. LOL they too, wanted to go rowing. At least it wasn't that bad after they began talking about random stuff like they saw this guy with the NEH JI ring. Tattoos that look like you're wearing another shirt. a.k.a micheal scotfield-like. and Chio Bus from canada. And we saw this Caucasian that got really tanned. He was red all over they joked about him eating too much chilli, the redness didn't wear off after like a 2 hr timespan?
after the long grueling wait, we had "uniform" inspection. Punishment came up to 70 push ups. I AM SO WEEAAAKKK.. I did like 50 and my ARMS WERE LIKE JACK HAMMERS, TREMBLING EARTHQUAKE~~!!! fell to my knees countless times....I AM SO WEEAAAKKK.. I DON"T EVEN DESERVE TO BE A GIRL>~>~>~>~

bah.wardEvar larx Anyway, the COOL PART COMES NOW. XURONG, U MISSED IT... WE HAD chinese oriental salad, YAY LOU HEI..

Freakin' awesome lar. I didn't know people would do that. And guess what, Louing at the former national stadium summore. Might be the FIRST AND LAST LOU HEI WOR... and those guys went crazy over it. Louing all over the place. The makeshift table, the floor, EVERYWHERE...

WHO WANTS TO SHAKE MY PROSPERITY HAND~?!?!

This is for Everyone~! PART 2

2008-01-29T21:57:00.000+08:00

Hello, you guys are wondering why on earth is this retard posing in this cock photograph? Well I'm just trying to prove a point here, Men are flawed, just like my painting, from afar, it seems normal. Most people are willing to accept these flaws and let it be, but others will move forward, and point out these flaws to the person, some might even help correct these flaws. These are what friends are for.

I don't have any best, friends, neither do I have very close friends, but I know, that I have good friends. Theses people have gone through thick and thin with me, one way or another.

The AEPeePs,
We spent all our 4 years together, making art, laughing and joking and fooling around with one another, we braved through the thesis project, Coursework, while juggling our various subjects in class. If not for the peer motivation and the drive to do well, I might not have gotten my As for art. Just to mention some names, this is for you...
Xurong, Andrew, Er Pei, Mu Yao, Wilson, Han Hao , Ashpenn, Nicholas, Jordan, Wai Yong, etc...

The Lao Jiang Hu ( scouty scouts )
The heroes who left the legacy behind for our juniors to continue, we survived through PLTC, competitions, hikes, and countless hours of droning in the den. The memories may not haunt me, but I know, we went through shit together as a troop. The meeting plannings, the OIPs, the screw-ups and the psychological punishment, I myself can't believe we lived through that.

This is for everyone~!

2008-01-27T23:05:00.000+08:00

How shall I start, the list is so long. Well I guess first I'll have to Thank all the teachers.

1) MDM ERNIE, our form teacher, your spontaneous sarcasm always catches us by surprise, yet we're so used to it, we always end up playing along even when we're not suppose to. though you never pinched me much, your insults were a heck of a pinch already =/ anyway, you give a whole new definition to the word EVIL, bloop, bloop, wish you and your goldfish well.

2) MR NG, physics teacher, ARGH SOrry I didn't get A1 for physics. Anyways, I don't know how you got the nickname chickenman from, but i think it's because you told us your story of the time you went to KFC everyday to MUG for the O levels. I remember, you always come in 30 minutes late for lessons. It's difficult being a teacher, you have to handle so many students at one go, but try to improve on your teaching. You are a good man, and we know you love physics, but teaching physics requires alot more. I sense the passion in you. So keep up. ( lol i think my tone is a little wrong here ) gomenasai

3) MRS PEH, chemistry teacher, the start of the year, always zoning through lessons like a robot, last year coz of pregnancy always experiencing mood swings, but you are a very nice teacher, helping us in which ever way possible, I remember one day during the break before the exam, you came to the canteen to revise topics with us. I love chemistry, you and Mdm Farrah helped me regain that interest I lost when i was sec 1 and 2. YEAh So this is for you and your daughter. (BTW whats here name?)

4) MR IKHW-AN-NUAR, haha, I never like Geography nor Social studies, but your lessons were never boring. I would love to go back to one of your talks on malasysia (with that drawing of course) anytime. I remember Banjaran Tittiewangsa...Anyway, your jokes always left us either stunned or eww sick. Won't forget that smirk of yours anytime soon. =]

5) MR HAZRIN, English teacher. Funny man, talks about his life stories *wink* infront of class. Your signature scratch stays fresh in my mind. while you often stun half way during lesson and sound out "where was I again?" I heard you are getting married soon. So best of luck and hope you have a great life ahead.

6) MR TAN, MR ZABID, MR KHOR

haha sorry guys, this list is not finished yet. not say i'm lazy to write, but i too tired, so lazy to write on, till next time, i continue XD

It's 'O'ver, or m'A'ybe not...

2008-01-25T11:45:00.000+08:00

It was truly a miracle, to have always gotten what I wanted when i least expected it. During my Primary school days ( I guess when you've finally reached the end, you start to think about the beginning ), I never did thought that I could make it to VS, considering that I was from a neighbourhood school. Ever heard of Feng Shan primary...?

I guessed i Scrapped through by 2 points. My aggregate was 247, the cut-off point to VS was 245. So I spent 4 fruitful years in VS, learnt to love, hate, and embrace all that I ever had, for I knew it would disappear from my life very soon.

I am in a state of confusion right now. Having already resigned to fate, I wasn't bothered by whatever score I got...

Sometimes, no, most of the time, I think Life really just isn't fair. What is reality? What is fantasy? The bridge between these two always seems to fade away and appear...

I am angry with myself, for others around me were worried sick about the release of the results, i was resting peacefully in my bed, not giving a damn in the world. While others were gritting their teeth in the hall, I was so relaxed i could fall asleep.

I wasn't too confident, nor was I worried, in fact i was just contented, until the release of my results... IT WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED, FOR ME TO GET AN 8. I didn't know how to respond to that. I saw countless disappointed faces among the smiles. They didn't get what they want, and they hoped so badly too..And I, of all people, had to be in that majority crowd.

Nevertheless, the spirits were still high, We Sang the School Anthem with our last undying breath, and Cheered till our lungs caved in. We were Proud of our school, no matter what happened to us. We were the pride of our school, no matter where we went.

Once divided, Now we unite to form these 131 years of a LONG Victorian FAMILY TREE.
(urgh, that didn't sound right... what can i say, i got B3 for english)

as we part yet again, to pursue our different paths in life, in our hearts we know, Once a victorian, always a victorian.

NIL SINE LABORE

PEACE OUT GUYS, AND CONTINUE TO KEEP HER FLAG UNFURLED

ALL THE BEST GUYS~!!!

2008-01-23T22:11:00.000+08:00

ALRIGHT MEN~! O level results will Strike tomorrow. READY YOUR WEAPONS, Storm the halls, check your flanks and fire at will. WE WILL MAKE HISTORY, let's push our school back to band 1. Kill those boneless Bs, Cs, and Ds. we will bring the house down. I say~!

Crush/Crushed

2008-01-22T19:10:00.000+08:00

Okayyy... let's talk about something random today...One of life's secrets. I almost never keep secrets, so here goes...

before that, a song that goes by "She's so high above me" by fastball

She's blood, flesh and bone
no tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound
but somehow I can't believe
that anything should happen
I know where I belong and nothing's gonna happen, yeah.

Cause she's so high, high above me, she's so lovely.
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite
Do, do, do, do do
She's so high, high above me.

A first class and fancy free,
she's high society,
she's got the best of everything.
What could a guy like me ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be, why should I even bother --- Aha

Cause she's so high, high above me, she's so lovely
she's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite
Do, do, do, do do
she's so high, high above me

She comes to speak to me,
I freeze immediately,cause what she says sounds so unreal,
Somehow I can't believe,
that anything should happen
I know where I belong
and nothing's gonna happen, yeah yeah yeah

Cause she's so high, high above me, she's so lovely
she's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite *(Or Hestia)* lol
Oh yeah yeah yeah
she's so high, high above me.

Nahahahaha, the songs I listen to seem to speak much of me. Maybe one day i should post my songs list on my blog and I can tell my life story XD

OH yeah, my title is a give away, You wonder why I'm so open, coz i'm derrick what....zzz...obvious
NEHmind, so a little history bah, my first crush, was at nursary LOLOLOLOLOLOL, you wonder why i rmb all these shit. My 2nd was at p5, Wow, then it must really be rare for me to have another 1 isn't it.

Pessimistic,
我真是个社会败类啦. Useless emotions getting in the way all at the wrong times. Maybe must chopsomeballs, then no more testosterones to interfere with my brain. must be strong. purge those persistent testosterones, b4 homo-erectus comes back from extinction.

Like all kinds of one sided love, a crush is detrimental to the human body, anxiety, stress and frustration, this 3 prong attack causes mental disorder, one will become oblivious to his or her surroundings while in the intoxication process, fantasies that might never be fulfilled start sprouting out. (not in my case actually ). And when he/she has a bf/gf, you would be crushed, imagine judo practice, someone crushing down on you with all his weight, this feeling might just kill.

I hope it wears out, coz crushes usually don't have results, this applies to me only, unless you're as deprived as me. Mr. 老江湖 is waiting for his bak kut girl (肉骨妹), it would be nice if i could meet crazy girl (神经婆)
说你神经病真是神经病嘛, 只有神经病的人才会跟我在一起.

Hmm, I wonder if this post my spearhead several rumours about me, i'll let nature take it's course then, words spoken can never be taken back. let's see how far we've come...

I hope you'll understand...

2008-01-08T20:04:00.000+08:00

K lah, i think it was an extremely huge big misunderstanding between you guys (XR n EP) n me. This is regarding the NY student council tea session thingy la. If i recall correctly, I was just coming out of class.

Then EP sms me asking me "want have lunch together at 1300hrs then we go art class?" at abt 12.13, maybe during that period u guys saw me or sumthing.

I didn't really reply until about almost at 1pm, coz i was carrying this retarded GOLDENBOX of tidbits and it wasn't really very appropriate for me to put down my stuff.

So i said" Wa i need go for tea session leh." Yea so when i replied i was already waiting inside the gathering room.

I thought EP forgot or sumthing, then after that XR smsed me at 1.02pm asking "where you?, I n ep at library. Come find us." so I thought u guys were waiting for me b4 you guys came up. At that time the briefing had already started. If i left just like that i would be really 不要脸了。

so i replied "im at the tea session thingy, come up top floor from the drumblock where r u."

YEA so SUDDENLY you guys SMS me say "*toot* the T session n u know who. i'm not going to join a u know what CCA, and its boring. EP say *toot* me" YEA so at that time i was damn pissed off already la, i thought u guys pang seh me - big time la.

yea then i couldnt use my phone at that time coz it would be damn rude. After the T session i called u guys, asking whether i could join in. Walao then u guys s till treat it as a joke like that, saying i'm not frustrated is a lie ah. at that time i no mood to eat liao so maybe damn cranky n moon swingy la. then bla bla bla argue argue argue.

yea so that was my story la. really sorry for getting so worked up over this. i hope you guys can understand. do give me your story also at least we can have a mutual understanding. I hope no friendships were damaged during this ordeal. please understand.

When 2007 meets 2008...

2008-01-01T21:59:00.000+08:00

AWFUL....What a way to spend the last few hours of 2007... watching singapore's retarded countdown for 2008. Vivocity was the place. Was suppose to be a class gathering, only 6 of us turned up. And to think that it was a remarkable improvement from the last time, 4? I heard. Had dinner at Pastamania, played pool to the very last minutes.

So we were standing among the crowd, fireworks shot up at random intervals~! It made no sence. Furthermore, they were so short when everyone turned to look at the general direction from where the sound was coming from, it had already ceased. Can't they all let off the fireworks when midnight strikes??? 3 places, Vivo, sentosa n marina bay. I guess i would say it was our fault not to move to better position. Sentosa's fireworks got blocked by a crane. The 1 at vivocity was blocked by the main building. Marina Bay's fireworks was half out of the trees..==

There was no warning, it was 11.58 on my watch, and they started the 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. At least LONDON HAD A BELL.

Speaking of which, the next few chain of events left me completely stoned. Decided to catch a movie, we were queueing up for tickets, suddenly these 2 dudes came up to us offering us Free Tickets to watch I Am Legend.

WTF. It was completely random i tell you... booked, paid for ( it was $9.50 by the way ) and they just offered it to us. So coincidental that only 2 of us have not wa tched that movie, hansen n i decided to stay.

For will smith's sake don't watch it. You'll end up saying: "Okayy...." watch it next year when it comes up on channel 5. Maybe those 2 guys had some precognition thingy going on. But What the heck, they were free and in the largest theatre 1.

the movie ended, checked out the credits, Laughed our asses off. the main cast consisted of 6 people. 2 of them were dogs. among the 2 dogs 1 was a substitute. Seriously, You'll feel very empty inside if you watch that movie. They tried too hard on the shock factor. So after the movie we ended up wandering around to search for cab sites. Along the way were many others, sleeping in the streets, relaking 1 corner. I would say was the most interesting part of the day.

for the first time i've gotten really close to a cruise ship. At the departure site. Then out of nowhere this group of thugs came along trying to pick a fight. Good thing hansen nailed it. For I was already about to call for security. freaked the hell out of me that time. Urgh, next time don't mess around with this kind of people lar.

Oh yeah, we went to this male toilet , they were selling condoms in coin slot machines. LOL. wish i took a picture of it. Was just too shaken up...

Ahh... in the end we owed it to hansen's dad to bring us back home safely.

OH I ALMOST FORGOT.. HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR~!! mine sucked but stay happy ppl.

Lots of bull with national treasure 2...

2007-12-31T04:01:00.000+08:00

Harlo.
ARGH...yesterday's bbq food was overwhelming.. too many chicken wings. Not too bad though. GJ ppl. However, How YOU ALL cook the food de. Use the ambers, not the fire. My tummy feels really queasy right now. I suppose you could say it went smoothly, apart from the needless pushups and all. Too much time away from military style discipline/punishment had me this awkward feeling of nostalgia? no, more like fear o.@ wor. After that, Jianxu, me, Geng Hao and his friend when for a movie together. Lots of hiccups and random slipups along the way... Decided on princess, all shows at 11.45pm, thought that it was too late, rushed to tampines mall, where JX n I got separated from the other 2 coz of the closing train doors (paiseh ah GH, was i walking too slow?LOL JX n I completely forgot the entrance to TP and went round a huge detour involving walking to the end of the bus interchange and back from behind the row of neverending shops. ended up coming up later than them. maybe is tian zhu ding de la yao GH and friend have some alone time), found out that the 10.45pm show was sold out, went to century sq, found out that the remaining timings were the same as TP, I am Legend - 11.45pm, National treasure:book of secrets - 12 midnight. after retarded coinflips that determined our decision otherwise, we settled for NT:bos, when to MACs n for sum reason did not choose the 1 in TP, went to the 1 at the bus interchange. Knn so out of place got =.= 2 tables only. then got 1 group of Mutts guai lan over at 1 table. wish i could take a photo lor XD. wait there down there ai kua ai pah or sumthing. In the end another big detour back to century sq's MACs. Cool way to burn our time wor. Walk here walk there also aid in digestion. Not bad la i suppose. spent our whole 1hr at Macs. So finally, to the movie.

Did you guys wait very long for this part? im sure u did. Personally i could just give the movie a 3/5 Its a little sad, the chim parts were very fascinating. But it just seemed that everything went very smoothly, like they already knew what to do. everything was laid out for them to touch, push, pull or unlock. No surprise at all.
Maybe its becoz i watched NT 1, maybe thats why i expected better. I would like to change my mind and say tht NT 1 is better than NT2 if any of you have not watched the first movie. Its like watching pirates of the Carib 1 n 2, although i would say it was much better. Many miniplots here n there. breakups n makeups n as mother of gates said, the heat of the moment. GH, this shld give you some ideas i hope. *cough* *cough* whatever so thats about it, i would say just watch it for enjoyment. Shit, crap, I geng Very long Liao, need to go toilet n release the inner demons. BB

Anyway, here is a summary of national treasure 1

The story centers around Benjamin Franklin Gates, whose family believes in the legend of a fantastic treasure trove of artifacts and gold, hidden by the Founding Fathers of the United States, and forgotten to all but a few. The first clue was given to Ben's great great great great grandfather by Charles Carroll, the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence, saying simply , "The secret lies with Charlotte".
Using sophisticated computer arctic weather models, Ben, with his friend Riley Poole and financier Ian Howe, finds the wreckage of a Colonial ship, the Charlotte, containing a Meerschaum pipe engraved with a riddle. After examining the riddle, Ben deduces that the next clue is on the back of the Declaration of Independence. While Ben sees such a highly guarded artifact as an obstacle, Ian finds no problem in stealing it. In the standoff, Ian escapes and the Charlotte explodes with Ben and Riley inside, nearly killing them.
They attempt to warn the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and Abigail Chase at the National Archives, but no one takes them seriously, believing it to be too heavily guarded to be under any threat. Ben thinks otherwise, however, and decides to steal it to keep it from Ian. Ben and Riley manage to steal the Declaration during a 70th anniversary-gala, just before Ian arrives. Dr. Chase, who is holding a replica, is kidnapped by Ian who thinks she has the real one, and Ben has to engage in a car chase to rescue her. As she will not leave without the Declaration, and Ben will not let her leave with it, she is forced to go along with them.
Ben and Riley agree that the only place to hide from the police would be Ben's father's house in Philadelphia. Despite his father's disbelief in the treasure, Ben manages to reveal an Ottendorf cipher on the back of the Declaration, referring to characters in the Silence Dogood letters. The coded message in the letters leads them to Independence Hall, where they find special bifocals invented by Benjamin Franklin. Ben examines the back of the Declaration with the glasses, to find another clue. After a short chase, Ian gets the declaration from Riley and Abigail, and the FBI arrests Ben, who has the glasses.
When the FBI attempts to use Ben as bait to get the Declaration back, Ian arranges to have him escape by jumping from the deck of the USS Intrepid, into the Hudson River. Using Ben's father as leverage, Ian forces Ben to interpret the clue on the back of the declaration, a reference to a secret chamber under Trinity Church in New York City. When they arrive at a seemingly dead end, Ben's father makes up another clue to keep Ian going, telling him a lantern is the clue to the Old North Church in Boston, referencing Paul Revere's ride. Ian goes to Boston with his men, leaving everyone else to die in the caverns.
When he has left, Ben explains that there is another exit, through the treasure room. They find a secret passage into another chamber. To their disappointment, they find it empty, and assume that the treasure was moved yet again. However, they know that another exit had to have been made in case of cave-ins. By further examining the walls, Ben finds a hole the shape of the pipe from the Charlotte. This lock opens a door into the true treasure room, containing artifacts from all periods of history.
When they leave through the second exit and the FBI arrives, Ben discovers that the chief investigator, Special agent Peter Sadusky (Harvey Keitel), is a Freemason. Ben proposes to give it to various museums around the world, with credit being given to the entire Gates family and Riley, with Dr. Chase not being penalized for the theft of the Declaration. With Sadusky not wanting to end an investigation without someone going to prison, they fly to Boston just in time to arrest Ian. The U.S. government offers Ben and his friends 10% of the treasure, but Ben only takes 1% and splits it with Riley, amounting to about $50 million each.[2] With his share, Ben buys a mansion once owned by Charles Carroll, and Riley buys a red Ferrari 360 Spider.

BASKET. HOW come they can write so much 1. the plot su mmary as long as my Post. Crap i so suck at expressing my thoughts in words meh??!?!??!

2007-12-14T21:03:00.000+08:00

hoho. Your long awaited bloggg update is here... A very Sorry to everyone who have gone to my blog for a countless number of times just to find it laying in the waste. Not much of a rant is there. But there is hope... i'm sure of it...

The past few weeks have been extremely monotonous... wake up go to work come home sleep. JUst 1 night. it was exceptionally fruitful evening. the BBQ was a total success. THANK YOU {YY}.

The results of the PAE were no less than expected. first choice NYJC, got in. No surprise at all....

HERE I COME AEP...reserve me a seat please...

Aah.. tonight was like any other night. Except my dad had to go bring me to bugis to eat at sakae tepanyaki. OF all the choices it had to be the lobster zzz... I felt that it was an utter waste of money. the lobster was no bigger than the size of my fist. the bill came up to $72.XX. I could buy HALO 3 with that kind of cash..

I suggest that if you are a die-hard lobster fan, try it once. tis all for fun. but not more than once. they use the same sauce for all the dishes, up till the rice. So everything tasted of the sauce. the sotong, the mushrooms, the lobster, n the turkey. lol it must have been for christmas. who serves turkey with lobster anywayz. ONly sakae.

Went to cold storage. Found the infamous devil of all chocolate.99%!!! hoho. i'm gonna try it tonight...see you in the other world...

HaHa

Graduation day's tomorrow. ( with the exception of any 1 who is not in VS class Sec 4 07 )

A day that would mark the end/a new beginning...

Yeah right... the beginning of the O levels more like.

It's pretty sad, to see some of us go our separate ways. I hardly even know some of us.

Well life's just like that, things come and go unwillingly, but whatever turns out to be, its always good to move on and look ahead. Argh it's so hard to write now, all that's going on in my mind are physics concepts and chemistry QA.

OH sc*toot*w it, here are some tips on how to fail your O level exams ( and pissing your examiners off )
