yea, surprise surprise, bud i tink this has been a MAGNIFICENT week.
haha. for once, i finally felt there was much FREE TIME. yes, free time, during the wkdays. Monday was wonderful, cld leave straight away. and then tues day only had 1 xtra lesson, maths, and i am starting to like amaths now! lol. I mean sometimes the lessons are indeed, tiring, bud at least i am willing to do the hmk, unlike emaths which is so totally wasting paper, esp now with the transformation qns. ya.

Another thing is, ive managed to slp before 12 every night, and i guess i am very rejuvenated when i wake up, although it seems helpless once lessons start. ANYWAY.tink my skin is slowly slowly getting better, the itch to scratch is getting less apparent, and even when i do [which is QUITE inevitable], it doesnt bleed as much as it used to la. the ones on my arm and back are healing real fast. ah. Thank God for that!

Hmmm, on thursday, VERY LONG day. ended with chinese xtra lessons. and seriously, i was wondering why she was making such a big fuss of it and asking us to buy an entire bk, as if this is some everyday lesson like that. We only hv it fornightly la, damn it, how much crap can possibly be forced into our heads. ?. The way it seems, i tink she is being really moody at times, and on Wednesday, she totally ruined my mood after the ecstacy from the early morning. really. and i thought i was down as ever that day. stupid CME. stupid form tcher la, cant she let mrs goh do the talking. I mean, i admit her current affairs discussions are intriguing indeed. The talks about physical abuse on students and the responsibility of teachers are um, not to say GOOD, bud worth listening la. better than other chinese tchers, who crap about the topic and worst, either chinese history or wonderful sceneries. I mean all dese are things much better said in ENGLISH> yeah.

Speaking of that, i was thinking what subjects i would do in JC [that is IF i can get into one, lol]. yea. as of now. Physics is a must. the 2 maths as well. NOT chinese. yalor. then bio DEF doesnt appeal to me at all. chem seems tough la. Humanities, i was tinking, ive had enough of history la. too much memorising. honestly, i'd very much like to take a literature-related subject. yea that would be good. can help to understand feelings and perhaps help in law.

Ok jus a sideways thought. Anyway, Wednesday morning was a great morning. I slept at 945 on tues night, and im sorry to you, bud soccer rules over everything la. lol. And so it was yet another Champions League night, and very possibly the last at Arsenal's current stadium. Juventus, Italian champions were pretty much favourites to progress. After, it is their extremly tight defence that has been their key. And even in my previous entry, i said that any Italian team would be tough. Yet, they did it. 2 goals on the night, splendid ones i should add, 2 sending-offs of a frustrated LOSING team, a suspension for Vieira for the return in Turin, and best of all, the coming of age of a wonderful 18-year-old in Fabregas. Yes, indeed it was worth waking up for, it was a glorious night for Arsenal, for english football, for attacking football. And, they have now put themselves in a fantastic position to have one final European night, in the semi-finals. Just sit back, relax, and attack on the break, and i'm sure Arsenal will come out on top after 2legs, and we'll see what Vieira has to say. Regret? He's gotta b feeling it now. haha.

Okok, this is getting long, bud i shall end of with today. ya we had the loci test just before recess. I was praying so hard that it would not be "another of those". there hv been so many emaths test which i hv remarkably been able to screw up %$@#*&. yea. and when mr tan said that we needed to "explore all possibilities", i dunno why it kept running through my head during the test. I was pretty shaky during the test la, and when ur hand is shaky its jus so difficult to pin the compass down to the paper. lol. btw i started with the last qn first, since i expected that the easiest was usually left for last. well anyway it was quite ok la. After that, i managed to calm down, thankfully. should be an OK test la.

CCA was great la, taught the juniors [or the KIDS in Arkar's vocabulary, lol] the static drills. although they sucked at it [like DUHH]. nvm. made alota funny comments throughout the training, so it was rather "lax" la. then hen it needed to get serious a couple of $@#%^$ children jus cldnt stop fidgeting which so pissssssed me off. so we set up a "timer zone" whr pple had to suspend their arms if they did not shount properly. so fun la. then in the end got too pissed off until had to resort to pumping. 15. not bad la. doubt leroy can do much more. =p.
Hiaz, its such a pity we hv to pass out by the 21st. Training was finally starting to be fun man.

k la, now that I have more time, shall try to get back to normal as much as possible. Sigh, ive neglected alot of things, erm, playing soccer with my neighbours on Saturday mornings is an example, as well as the few pple i hv started to neglect. aiya. this is such a rush-term, things are being continually dumped at us, yes, even the kitchen sink. lol.
I'll try la k, I promise i will.

Ah, before we could think about how to rest for the holidays, its back to school time already. yea, i suppose that is the tough life of a student nowadays. Ive been feeling the stress in term 1 la. think ive buckled. after, the unhappiness of our new form teacher and another science teacher, and of course stupid eczema, which has really pissed me off for the rest of the term. yea. then the results, which aint gd as well. man. there is a lot to make up. and i am feeling stressed once again.

sigh. my skin aint getting better i tink. now that ive stopped taking steroids, it seems to b getting worse again. or at least i tink its my own problem, then again maybe not. Aiya, thing is, it itches terribly, and it just pisses me even more when people keep telling me "not to scratch", and to control myself. yes, thanks for being concerned, really. BUT, if u were in my shoes, i tink u'd find it hard not to scratch the countless number of bites over my body. [ok it is around 70. YES. try counting those u can see on my legs n arms n use proportion, lol] yala, and the scratching really aggravates it, by infecting it further. the pus used to keep oozing out. now there's no more of that la. bud now its bleeding occasionally. there are 2 on my neck now. if it gets to my face, i tink i can take a very long holiday liao la. WIll it ever go away?
And i was thinking, if it keeps on staying, then i ll get to skip the tough NS work. haha. silly thought, bud really i am not in the best of moods right now, these days. yea i pretty much seem normal in school, bud i tink occasionally one can spot the tiredness in me la. thats self-control. now if only i cld apply that to controlling the ITCH.

Im tired, really tired. when i sleep late, i feel a lil tired in school. When i slp early [bout 1030~11?], i wake up so sleepy and always sleep in class. I tink. mr tan has seen me sleep countless times during maths lessons. He has seen me not do homework, or copy examples into my notebk, countless number of times [yes if u noe me thats my "stop-at-2" policy]. yet, he never says a bad thing about me. haha. at least i dun tink he has. and when junjie was so badly scolded for erm something that is not serious at all, something that i didnt even take down, i felt really lucky. irony of life. yes.

And jus to set the record straight, EVERY teacher has enquired about my skin and wished me well except for ONE. yes its THAT one. she hates me. i think. Well. to be honest, im a study-at-home guy, so i really dun mind sleeping through alot of those boring lessons. we ll see la.

This weekend there is camp. at least can finally have some...fun? yea. there is alot of homework due la. sht la and from now on mr tan demands maths homework to be done. i think he let me off today when he heard [he surely must have] my telling JJ something on the line of "why need to do", and i saw him stare at me for awhile. ah. lucky me again.

Haha. everyone is only human la. i tink, i am really in a tough tough situation now, and it is, partly my fault. gotta dig deep, try to dig myself out of a few troubling things, and get the results right, and then move on from there. nvm, thankfully, my social life is still fine, yea, and i have great friends. and i really appreciate them. now, jus gotta pull myself through with faith. =)

I mean, yea, chelsea, the dominating force in england, have, recently looked like a bunch of sore losers, something solidified after their shock defeat on Sunday, with their world-class defender sent off as well. haha, delight for all Arsenal ManU and Liverpool fans la. bud yea. no one is perfect la, so, chelsea will eventually dig their way out and end the season on a high. so will Arsenal. and i ll try too.

MAYBE I SHOULD TRY TAKING COFFEE.

A SMALL STEP FOR BARCELONA, A GIANT LEAP FOR FOOTBALL.

Oh yea after a massive week of football, it is Chelsea's exit at the hands of Barcelona that has emerged as the main story, after all the gamesmanship from their manager, playing on a potato field, sending his team late out for kick-off, and trying to specifically kick Barcelona players to disrupt their flow, it is, class that has triumped over crass. That money cannot buy trophies, that the beautiful game should be played flowingly like a Barcelona, Lyon, or arsenal, and not boringly like Chelsea, or [and i dare say] liverpool.
And what does our dear Special One say?

"The better team lost"

Sour grapes.....my lad.

As so, it was delightful to see my Arsenal back to form, after a 4-0 away win at fulham, followed by holding real madrid to a draw and going through to the quarters, and then sweet delight as we beat liverpool, albeit a blunder of monumental proportions by their captain. Ironic isnt it, the best player on ur team, ends up being the one who lets them down. Well anyway, we are playing beautiful football, and if u saw the first goal, it was pure class.And also, it was such a coincidence, that, on thursday i nd not go for X country cos i cldnt afford to sweat too much, so i cld watch the massive clash at Highbury that morning, where pple say it is the "best 0-0 in recent times"

OK, ENOUGH ABOUT SOCCER.
Its the holidays, and monday is 3/4 gone already, [serious its almost 6pm], lol. today was pretty much wasted at sch for the march games thingy, playing chi chess. haha did manage to win a couple of games. lost 1 big time though. well at least we are guaranteed 2nd place i tink. sian, then tmr also got eng lesson, whr we nd to do a full paper. yes thats 1hr 40min + 1hr 45min. gosh. waste time la.
k, better go for a swim la, haha. its the only exercise i hv after all. =)

you know it makes sense.

Something is very weird with this blog, i notice. Whenever i come n see my own tagboard or whatever, the font colour of my entries seem to alternate between red currant and black. Jus how is it happening man. zzz

OK, its been a terrible week. period.
Results-wise, this has got to be a catastrophic "fall from grace" as they call it.
Well, gotta accept it la. There have been terms where everything has worked out for me, and i admit for those terms [practically the whole of last yr] it wasnt hard work bud average work plus studying-smart plus luck. So i guess, all these is all part of life. In footballing terms, ive really taken my foot off the pedal and slid away, and jus as well, the luck has dried up. <-----I'll come back to this

Anyway. If you don't know, ive amazingly managed to screwed
up bio, emaths, even geography>?! along with the super tough english.
All in the same term.
sigh.
this is just so not the consistency that ive took so long to build up. And i was always thinking how i would react should such a thing happen, since like last year. ya. how did Arsenal react when they falled short of the half century? Gotta learn frm that. lol. i tink this term, too many tests i have thought it would be easy and that nothing "too difficult" could be tested. well truth to speak, it was quite ok with Amaths. emaths has been my weakness la, so its still acceptable la, bud geog ! argh.

K. so i can finally "continue" this post since my computer is working [at least for now la]. yea. so all results are back le. suck la. so my only A1s are physics, chem, history and ss and amaths. which means that amounts to an L1R5 of 11 or 12. well. what to do. anyway, this term on, i don't really care about marks already la. its the grade that matters.
[the marks matter when everyone is getting poor grades].
{they don;t when everyone is getting A1s].
haha. k la, bud i have to say, i am pleased with the A1 for chemistry la. i think this term, chemistry was a pretty challenging test la. i mean it had many thinking questions, some needing a lil bit of general intelligence. er. dats the best description of it la. lol.
Well, the lost 5marks on the catalyst part, bud still managed to get an A1 overall. phew.
[yes i noe i dun hv to emphasise that jaslyn, bud i still will]
i guess, in particular, cos of the "bad blood" i have with ms goh as well, i mean u can understand what it is like to be a teacher and the student u hate still does well. er. lol.

hmmmm, bud on friday i was feeling really guilty. I guess i ll try to put the hatred away and focus on doing well for subject itself. same goes to all the tiny grudges i hv here and there. accept and get on with it. yea.

Moving on, i finally got some medication on Wednesday after going to NSC. so now im on steroids and anti-biotics, bud at least the rashes are drying up, and that it the best i could wish for la. cos b4 that, life was so tough, i had to write with extreme discomfort to prevent getting the pus on my paper, and i had to wear old long-sleeve clothes at home to prevent staining my bed and sofa, and even then once in awhile blood would ooze out as well. considering that, the fact that i still managed to do well for history with all these handicaps, lol. shd b testament [or testiment?] to my skill at combined humans. =p
Well, would also like to thank all who wished me to get better, as well as all those who prayed for me during last wk's caregrp. it was really touching. i am emotional as you know. [a typical football fan is la....haha]

Friday, managed to take squad, and it was quite exciting la, i mean nd not b such high standard since its not cadets in uniform, bud it was nice shouting here n dere n asking them to be "on their butts down". haha.

Now to soccer, and next wk i truly hope Arsenal can hold off madrid at London, and that chelsea wld b taught [or "teached" if ure Beckham, i mean can u believe his english was so poor?] a harsh lesson by the brilliant barcalona with their stars of ronaldinho, messi and deco. To the other match, arsenal hv a 1-0 luxury to take home, and with this the last season at Highbury, beating madrid here would really b a landmark achievement. I tink, apart frm the Italian teams like milan or juve, arsenal can b a match for ANYONE, yes that includes barca. k la, finally got it posted. yea! the long-awaited post it here. lol.
