AW yea finally rmbed to blog after bout...2wks off?
hmmmm. nxt wk is common tests le la. sigh. SO FAST.
bud nvm la. i am seriously geared up for this term, esp for the maths which hv been all so disappointing. ok Amaths la. Emaths is fine.

ANYWAY. alota things happened since i last blogged.
hmmm. ive been able to attend PE liao, and the 2.4km run didnt go quite bad, considering i havent ran in awhile, so, now just have to pray that i can edge that 5cm of so in order to get a C. and for sit and reach, prob a couple of centimetres as well. besides, with weelic always dropping stuff down his table "to help me", i've been stretching frm my seat QUITE A LOT of times, so, hopefully that wld be helpful, or else i ll not be so willing to pick things up liao. lol.

Onto tiredness. well the past few wks i hv finally managed to control my sleeping time. YEAH. so its not that bad now la n im more awake during class la. bud still, for lessons such as chemistry and ss and esp chi really still cant take it de la. lol. i mean some lessons are INDEED truly boring la. bud for geog, well dese few lessons we hv been rushing madly to the humanities room liao. for the xtra 4pts. lol. silly thing to do, bud its to make up for the marks we lost because we came back late THAT day.

hmmm, also, on Wed, got to do holy com, aik was damn nervous, and summore the majority of the things on my piece of paper were mentioned by yongkang already. lol. bud
ya managed to improvise at least. oh wells.

Wed night, was the semi finals of the champions league, with Arsenal playing villarreal in the last EVER european night at highbury. and the opponents were absolutely pathetic this time round. the first touch henry had on the ball, he was tackled 2-footed. gosh. yellow card. 2nd min only i think. then, whenever arsenal players made a slight tackle, they wld drop on their backs as if they were bamboozled, jus to waste time. total crap. and they were their own downfall la, as when their striker was really brought down by a tackle in the penelty box, instead of giving a penalty, the ref blew play on. LOL>
and then on 40mins the centre back managed to stick his leg out and nick the only goal of the game, and we are THAT close to the final now. yeah!

speaking of that, still gotta ensure 4th place, and we nd to beat spurs this wkend at Highbury. haha, jus something funny that happened during the midwk match....


....there was a squirrel on the pitch!, for at least 5mins or so, until it had to be chased off. lol. what a pity. oh well, there were many comments made in the press about the squirrel, bud the only thing i hv to say, to all spurs fans, is that, "the squirrel gets to play champions league football". AHA!

wah,it has been quite an eventful day indeed.

p.s. Skip the whole chunk below if you know nuts about soccer.
It started at 3. AM. yes. i managed to wake up again, albeit sleeping at 10 on Wednesday night. Why? obvious la hor, to watch the return leg against juventus, bud this time over in italy. And, to be fair, their stadium might be big, but the atmosphere was pathetic, nothing like that in england. cldnt hear much fan chants at all. and the stadium was pretty empty. like hello? 2 of the best teams in Europe playing for a place in the last 4 of the elite competition and this is the kind of atmosphere. sigh. oh well. the match went on well for Arsenal, deir defence held VERY tight, and we continued to frustrate the Old Lady, and we really shd hv scored one or 2 on the breakaway. oh well. 0-0 on the night, bud the 2 goals scored at highbury were enough to bring us through to the semis, and the finals beckon now, with the huge fortune we hv had in avoiding the other big teams.
So its
Arsenal v Villareal and
Barcelona v Milan.
Well. gotta focus back to the league, and this weekend will be THE biggest test yet la. Manchester away, man wouldnt it be great if we could end the title race by beating them. every chelsea man mus be supporting us this weekend man. lol.
Those who skipped, can START reading here.

k la, so i went to school with only the best part of 4.5hrs of sleep. my am i riding my body's limits. bud thankfully the first few periods were not the "sleepable" kind, physics in the lab and then geog TEST. so of course cant sleep la. lol.

Then, it was PE. finally i ran after [not slacking bud] forced absence for a month of so. running is tough indeed la, and i was really struggling and struggling. bud still managed to at least keep running and not stop la, xcept when i run up the stairs. Then, at the last lap, when i was with junjie going up the stairs, i dunno why one of my lungs or my heart started feeling sooo painful. wah i got so worried, and then i thought, better not ride my luck, and so i slowly strolled back to sch. sigh, hope will be fresh enough for the 2.4km la. yep. along with that, i tink i really cramped up my left knee, and now its jus sooo unbearable whenever i stretch the kneww joint. ya, and now HOW THE HECK am I going to show my juniors how to execute drills tomorrow. sigh, and to make things worse the other NCOs including Jufri are all taking the sec2s and 3s for CPL and SGT tests. well....solo-ing is still fun la. =)

Sigh, then after sch. we went for lunch, and we were late for geog la. dammit, cos the grp marks. felt damn bad la. yea. tink, frm now on, gotta start changing our ways, instead of being late for this and that. I mean friendly tchers like ernest and allison can late abit, bud theresa is sure not one to play with. <--------This is the respect i hv for tchers. =).

Then, stopped by a shop near my hse and bought a bottle of cranberry juice for my dad. Its his birthday! and its such a pity mom aint here, cos she has to leave to see grandma in Penang incase anything serious happens to her, so she d b there to see her. sigh. pray for them all la.yea, time passes and it takes alot with it.

But right now,
There's just too much, that time cannot erase.

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.

THE STORM IS OVER

yea only my 4th post, and its way into term 1 already. imagine jus 2 more terms like that n we'll b rushing for prep prelims n prelims. then soon D-Day will arrive. lol. the teachers all say that the syllabus can be finished by end of term 2, and i must say, that is absolutely ludicruous. so many topics to go in emaths, my word. and Amaths? still got so much of calculus, and have the school forgotten MATRICES? sighh. its no wonder mr tan is in stress. and i am worried too. better start revising all the previous topics la, esp for bio whr there r so many factual topics, and geog. and im seriously aiming to spot qns for humanities. With Emaths being anything, its crucial that i get any A1 that is easy to get.

Wow, what a, "stressful" start, bud thankfully common tests are over already. Its been such a draining 2wks for me. I slept at 130 before history test, at 0200 before bio, and being v tired during class for at least 1 period la. This jus cant continue, bud the fact is that i hv poor self-control. I keep on saying i wun sleep late, bud i never [not sleep late]. I always say i ll keep games to the daytime on wkdays, bud sometimes dey jus seem to stretch [into the night]. Its hard to believe, i still seem to study enough, well, just enough, when others r finding it very busy as well. I really think im as lazy as anyone can be in the class la. i seem to spend so much time on the computer, and when im off it im tired. tired. worse still, PE sure didnt help. now my ribcage feels so pressed-in that it "bites" at me whenever i laugh too much. well, blessing in disguise?

Anyway, i really feel the sch's policy of common tests are poorly carried out la. i mean look at geog, how can we take it on wk6 mon and classes like 4/6 n 4/2 take in on wk7 fri. isnt that too much of an advantage? i mean apart frm the leaking of answers, isnt the time diff bad enough? unfair enough? well i guess mrs lawrence is right in saying there r going to be many things in life which are going to be unfair. and we just got to live with it. Like i said, if they carried out the O lvls in 10wks, 1 exam per wk. even if it starts in September, we wld all be very well-prepared student. That i am sure. and its true, its this huge series of continuous tests which make us "mug". dunno what dey r trying to achieve man.


Well, apart from all that, i am glad to declare that throughout those 2wks, till this wed after physics test, i never played any games, n dat ll prob b my longest hiatus for quite some time. thats right, no DOTA or NFS, or even my beloved FIFA. bud anyway, im still watching the football. it was such a bittersweet valentines day when Arsenal were snatched of a pt when liverpool scored LATE LATE into the showpiece, and it was such a great perf. frm deir goalkeeper, saving a penalty as well. sigh. now dey really have to find a way to put real madrid under pressure.

Hmmm, i got the "Because of you" piano notes frm my neighbour, and i ll try playing it to calm myself down once in awhile to prevent overheating. lol. speaking of that, my computer is so #$#%$@% PROBLEMATIC. always hangs halfway. WTH man and dad said hv to wait till July till can change one frm his office. LONG WAIT. darn. oh well, continue slacking n publish the post while the computer is surviving. =)

TWTWTW is abbrev. for:
THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS

Haha, what a crazy week it has been for me, from staying up late and feeling so sleepy in class jus to force every bit of knowledge into my brain, to the gory visit to the dentist.
WHAT A WEEK.

Ok to address first things first, the big issue today, is that of the release of O lvl results for our seniors, and chinese for us. haha, i never really expected much from the test, and tip to everyone: don't bother betting with me for anything chinese related.
cos i always win the bets.um so if u think of it the converse should be true too! bud that wld mean im boasting, which is so me, what the heck. lol think i won a bet of sher han, and 2 happy meals frm naomi whr i get to keep the toy! dats so. er. lol.
bud away from the funny stuff, fact is i got a B3 for chinese, and although i have always sucked in chinese, it is still a setback. well, i guess i never really felt anything bad about that grade, in contrast to, erm other people, bud anyway, it has still reminded me that nothing is going to be easy for the O's, and although everything seems to be going well for me outside of chinese, i must not let off and fall during the run-in to the exam. yea, also, i really pity those people hu got A2 la. i can only imagine how pissed i would be if i got A2 for a physics or a chemistry.

yea and this week was also the start of common tests, with geography and EM on monday. the splash n using of ur common sense helped alot in geog, where i cldnt believe i wrote a phrase "the bigger they are, the harder they fall" in one qn on how come the poverty cycle repeats itself. really screwed up emaths la, the last qn never even do cos i din understand the DAMN qn. lol. speaking of that i so wanted to curse mr tan for setting such a qn.and then, he hasnt come for the past 2 days, and things seem so different with him. when it was known that he has some problems with his heart [im sure its benign], i really wish him well. Today before the Amaths test, when geography had just ended, Huimin passed me this card where we wld write our best wishes to mr tan, and the first thing that came to my mind was............that i would dedicate the Amaths test to him. bud then fear and anxiety came into my mind. I really have been such a hit-and-miss at recent maths tests, and it has often been scrappy marks ive achieved. fearing that i wun do well, i decided not to write that anymore. well it seems life always finds a way to make u feel remorse for what you have [or have not] done. and the Amaths test was, for the first time in a long, long time, one where i managed to complete the test with full confidence even before the aftermath "sharing of answers and feeling the AGONY and ECSTASY". lol. too influenced by mrs lim. bud to be honest the test was rather less difficult than previous ones, and besides it didnt contain any visualization qns such as PnC or graph sketching or geometry [i SUCK at those by my standards]. k la sometimes i always expect too much of myself, but being someone hu is supposed to b gd at maths and with my dad having the occupation he has, jus cant disappoint anyone man. tough life.

And the past week has been terribly irritating in terms of the rashes on my body. it has grown significantly worse since i last blogged and is sometimes really getting on my nerves. i totally lost it on on thursday when i was finding difficulty with a bionomial qn and the bites itching so much. before i knew it dere were spots of blood on my left arm.
More was to come, on Thursday i also had a terrible trip to the dental. i bled so much that i was feeling sour for the rest of the day la, and i even got so worried that swallowing too much of ur own blood might be harmful, that i even asked mr yu that. lol. bud alas there was great news, something apparently CROPPED up with our chem tcher n combined with other fortuitous events, meant that we need not stay back for ANY extra lesson. isnt that such a blessing? lol.

Well. havent been talking about football, which there hasnt been much significant, except for Chelsea v Liverpool. although chelsea won, their star player Robben dived to cause a player to get sent off. and the manager's reaction was such a comedy. lol. kk enough of that. time to focus on next wk;s tough exams [besides chinese DUH].
Like i said, i ll fight like mad to do well for the sciences, esp CHEMISTRY.

you know it makes full sense.

you are NOT the special one.

Opening word:
Ok, its all black from now on. the other colors [u noe this word is so frustrating cos stupid MSword keeps automatically changing it for u when u type "colours" - the correct version at least for an O lvl compo] dun really blendin with the background la. haha.

Now to start the entry. wah. its really been a tough few days of new year. and to be honest its been a quite suay one la. Firstly, my computer crashed down on me on Friday night! [omg too much of a coincidence ba!], and now its back up, bud it will automatically reboot if i dare to try and play "memory-taxing" games such as FIFA or NFSMW. i wonder, does a PS2 or XboX ever breakdown? its gotta b such a gd investment if the answer is no. yala.

Then, on friday night as well, i realised, i forgot to take my neat n wonderful and uniquely [it is CORRECT spelling] orange, geography file. DAMN! We had to do 2 worksheets n we had 4days and WTH?! I cant do it! for a moment i thought of asking a classmate to scan for me or something, before the thought hit me that i have never, and will never be such a hardworking person! haha. so i ended up worrying up all the rest of the new yr, lol. no la the guilt dried up after the first [friday] night although it came back ytd night. uh my mind is very synchronised.

Following that, on Saturday night, after staying up for the nian chu yi and all that, Arsenal were miserably dumbed out of the FA cup, the holders! dumped out. argh. that makes it 2 competitions in a wk! goodness. now they should beat Real Madrid bud they wun win the champions league, so for the first time i recall, they aint goin to get a single trophy this yr! one word: CRUD [flip-inspired. lol.]

Worse was yet to come. On Sunday, we went to visit my parent's old friend in his HDB flat. and we parked in a very, desolated carpark down below. Halfway while visiting, we heard a [not loud] bud [louder than average] sound, and when we looked out of a window, some greenhorn neophyte could try to park next to our car [which was 3wks old ONLY] instead of all the other empty spaces available, most likely as dere was a tree nearby, for shade. and he hit his rear bumper and caused a huge dent into the front, fortunately the light was not smashed. Amazingly, he drove away. waddehell la. i managed to snap a picture of that with my camera phone, and we went to file a police report, bud i cant think what the police can do la, since the car number plate wasnt snapped, my camera phone not that gd la. bud anw, with the report and everything, at least we cld claim insurance. i was so caught up in the heat of the moment la, and then i was cursing away madly in the car. my parents did not try to scream at me although im sure i wld hv regretted them all the more if they had. well. at least i knew that.

K la, bud in the evening, i watched tennis with my mom, the Australian Open final between Roger Federer the world no.1 and an unknown player frm Cyprus. wah it was such an epic match, with the unknown player starting off superbly taking the first set n breaking to lead 2-0 in the 2nd set, bud the way federer fought back was jus so amazing, he was so calm n composed and he won in 4sets. when he won he jus clenched his fists, not like other greats who scream in "anguish" or drop to their knees, bud when he was presented with the trophy, he was so emotional, and he even cried, telling his opponent "i hope u noe how much this means to me", and it was such a touching moment, that even tears welled up in me! nervous action ba. lol. and i ll try my best to be as composed as i can in the future la. i noe i hv a very volatile temper, bud i ll try my best to resist it, and i hope my continuous persistance will improve that, as well as through reading the bible and receiving more and more of Him.

Well, to end, guess I have been able to make this blog public cause unlike last yr, where i was so easily stressed up by a simple geog exam, or "screwing up" a maths test by my standards, some social problems or swearing madly when Arsenal dun play well or when i suck at a FIFA game, i think i have been able to curb most of that le la. so i ll spew out less repulsive profanities, and end up jus simply blogging....

Till then, really hope the incessant bites and infections appearing on my skin will go away. I really nd some1 to introduce me to skin lotions of what have you [ok besides those frm body shop. haha] . look forward to blogging soon, and HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all, although some may question the auspiciousness of this since it is in BLACK font. yep.

p/s If you notice, the title of this entry has nothing to do with the post!
you know it makes sense. =)

New year's resolution.

kk, so it has taken more than awhile, but overcoming "tough sch conditions", [or extreme laziness to be simplified], yea this new blogskin is finally up, and public. yeh! haha.

so, i mentioned in my previous entry [which u all can't find anymore], that i will make my new yr resolution and whatever that assosiates with the [non-chinese] new year, in this entry. so i guess in conclusion, ive got my chinese n standard [non-chinese] calendar messed up. wadeva.

hmmm, the year has been quite ok up till now, with the teachers mostly the same xcept for bio, geog [both of which hv been such a breath of fresh air to the class], and the despicable language chinese. of course, the long-going problem of chemistry is still on[going], bud what to do, jus gotta bear with it [dun even think about adapting]. lol. couple of wks ago, our principal gv us a prep talk about o lvls as well, and how diff it is to enter all the top JCs. man. totally reminded me of the tough reality that is NOW.

Bearing in mind the location of my hse and accessiibility, the only nearby JCs which might appeal are AND jc and RJC. sigh. i came into this sch with the hope of goin into either NJC or victoria, whr u dun really nd to work THAT hard to get into, bud now i guess its RJC or bust la [no offence to AJC, lol]. ya, and to get RJC mrs poh said we nd 4or 3pts, which is sooooooo tough. ugh. so ive made my resolution, and that is to get 8pts. i.e. 5pts for R5 and then allow up to B3 for my english, yea its a tough language as well, with the exam format. so next resolution: improve my english.ya reading is the key, so i guess i ll cont to take pleasure in reading, of course not 1hr a day la. lol. crazy tchers. bud hey! watching soccer and listening to english comentary is oso hlpful man.

also now to the other aspects of my life, and esp to do with my watching of soccer on TV. really i dunno why the football assosiation cant schedule matches earlier to our comfort, idiots. so much so that it was such a pleasure to see them stay up so late when the world cup was held in Japan n south korea during 2002. Anyway, i will not watch matches which end later than 1am, if the next day is a school day. Its really time to make full use of the dvd recorder that i have, so i ll prob jus time it to record the last 15mins or so of matches so i can watch them the nxt morning before i go to sch. haha. and for champions league matches i ll VERY RELUCTANTLY record the post-match round-up and watch them the next day. [imagine barcalona-chelsea and arsenal-real madrid not watched live. OMG] lol.

Next, stop the swearing and control MY volcanic-like temper. Man that's jus the thing that i soooooooo hate myself for la. the times when my mind goes insane n makes my mouth spew things which i always regret sooner or later. ok perhaps not much in sch, bud alot at home or when unfortunate things happen to me. speaking of that, my computer jus broke down again, think its down to a short-circuit again. aii.well anyway it mus b a sign that im playing way too much dese days. boy am i feeling tired now as well.

yea guess i ll continue some other day, im so not used to blogging, or rather due to the LACK of blogging for the best part of 1mth. haha. entry CLOSED/
.period.
