Breaking Hiatus...

I was going through the mental To-do List that i made for the hols.

........

Item #198 Continue Resume blogging!

So here i am. At a loss of where to start since this blog(ger) went into hibernation few months ago.

O levels are over. (THANKFULLY) and as of now, yours truly, has been having a great time wasting the holidays away.

Being back home made me realise how much i missed this (dirty, corrupted, disorganised, politically turbulent, racism-filled) wonderful country of mine. Not to mention the great food and great people here. Just like what they say, there's nothing better than home.

Quarrantine Day 2

The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the flowers were dancing in the breeze -- it was the perfect day.
Okay, maybe it wasn't. There weren't really any birds, not many flowers were to be seen, and it was actually rather cloudy. But However, (hehe, trying to use good accurate English here....)uhh.... yeah. However, It still seemed like the perfect day for me. I woke up early in the morning at 11.00 am to my handphone's singing. Upon realising that it was a schoolday, guess what I did? I went back to sleep.

Haha. Gotcha right there huh? But yeah, That's what I did. (I actually woke up at 10, but i wrote eleven to make it sound more dramatic.... ), but never mind that. So the truth is, I was quarantined. Contracted some cough on friday night, thought it was nothing at first, but it got worse the next day and before I knew it, my temperature was thirty-eight point something. The first thing that came to my mind was something along the lines of "Uh-oh", and the next thing was "Oh no! I spent the whole of Friday night with my dad hacking and coughing blithely away." So after calling my mom, who was in KL, I called my dad, who was in SG returning to KL, while waiting -- for quite a long time indeed -- in line at the clinic and notified him of my condition. He said the same thing nearly everyone told me. "Keep me updated." Great. Now I have a long contact list of "People To Update About My Health Condition". Ah well, I supposed he was just doing his job as a dad. =p

Of course, I notified Mr Oh right after that, and he informed me of a few procedures that I needed to see through, and one thing led to another, and i was quarrantined. In the girls block. Why the girls block you ask? Well, for those who do not live in Victoria Hall, VH is overpopulated by Males, mainly because the Victoria School scholars are staying here, and as you all know, VS has a slight majority of males in its population.

As of right now, apart from the constant hacking and the intense discomfort in my throat, I'm fine. By the looks of it, tomorrow will be the last day of my quarrantine, or segregation, or isolation, or holiday, however you want to call it. I've been trying to make full use of my time here, but *ahem*......... Well, Thomas Edison failed 999 times before successfully making the first light bulb, maybe I'm just on "the road to success".

Ah. Who am I kidding? One whole day was wasted lazing around, watching movies on the internet...... Well, at least I'm recuperating, and I'm enjoying myself.

My dad says blogging is good for the soul, but the fact that he barely knows how to open his own blog (that has nothing on it, i think), makes me doubt the crediblity of that statement. Nevertheless, he's still my dad. We had a great time out on Friday night, and (despite my intermittent coughs) we had a great chat (and a mouth-watering, lip-smacking dinner at Nihon-mura which left me sated and satisfied).

I really think I should get back to doing something productive now. Or at least attempting doing so. Don't be expecting me to blog so often now that Prelims are looming up ahead.

Cheers,

DL........ *cough**hack*cough*

Goodbye March Hols....... =(

Sigh. Just finished my English term paper..... =O

And there goes the March holidays. That is, if you consider going back to school practically everyday and returning to hostel after 4 pm everyday, and then trying to complete an immense amount of homework at night a holiday, then yeah. I suppose i had a great holiday. I wonder how my friends in malaysia are spending their holiday? Doing something much more fun than what I'm doing I suppose. Haha. Oh. I find this very amusing and kinda inspirational:

Lost Generation by Jonathan Reed

I am part of a lost generation
and I refuse to believe that
I can change the world
I realize this may be a shock but
“Happiness comes from within.”
is a lie, and
“Money will make me happy.”
So in 30 years I will tell my children
they are not the most important thing in my life
My employer will know that
I have my priorities straight because
work
is more important than
family
I tell you this
Once upon a time
Families stayed together
but this will not be true in my era
This is a quick fix society
Experts tell me
30 years from now, I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce
I do not concede that
I will live in a country of my own making
In the future
Environmental destruction will be the norm
No longer can it be said that
My peers and I care about this earth
It will be evident that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic
It is foolish to presume that
There is hope.

And all of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it .

(So now read it in reverse. 

"There is hope

It is foolish to presume that

My generation....... )

Yeah. They showed this in SLC, but I was backstage =(. Thought I'd put it on my blog.

Oh. Yesterday Mr Oh. brought all the Sec 4 scholars out for a movie. He kept the movie a secret, so all of us went without knowing what we were gonna watch, except victor, since he was holding on to all of our tickets. Well, we found out that it was Paul Blart---- "The mall cop" in the end. The movie was OK, in my opinion, but i heard it got some weird reviews. After that, he took us to dinner, or more like supper i suppose (it was close to 11 pm). And guess what, he brought us to SWENSEN's!!!!! =O 

Four of us (mr oh, victor, adari and i) shared one Giant Earthquake, and then orderen another topless five. Haha. Everything was on Mr Oh. Xian Da was smart enough to order an espresso, without actually knowing that it comes in a super mini tea-cup and did not taste good at all. =p (Oh. and i'm not supposed to be eating ice-cream because of my cough.) I was like swallowing one scoop of ice cream and then coughing for the next few minutes. But the ice cream was worth it. Mmmmmmmmmm!

On the way home, the chinese scholars were asking Mr Oh on how to keep ur body fit or something, and he said. ".......Most importantly, you must Eat more, Sleep more, and Exercise more. That way your muscle will grow." and I was like, "Hmmmmm. I've definitely PERFECTED the first two." =)

Well, here I am now, still down with coughing. Just went to the doctor yesterday. Took some antibiotics and stuff. Don't see it improving yet. I suppose I shouldn't have went to eat ice cream yesterday..... =p

*Yawn* going to sleep soon. Dunno what to write liao. Just don't feel like sleeping or doing homework. Got a huge lot of SS homework. I'm just gonna hope that Ms Soh won't ask for them tomorrow.

Well. Pauline thinks that I should sleep early tonight. Haha. Does 1am in the morning sound early enough? =]

Toodles,

An Atheist in the Woods

An atheist was walking through the woods.

'What majestic trees!

'What powerful rivers!

'What beautiful animals!

He said to himself.

As he was walking alongside the river,he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. 

He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charging towards him.

He ran as fast as he could up the path.

He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear was closing in on him..

He ran even faster...

He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer.

Suddenly, he tripped & fell on the ground.

He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw & raising his right paw to strike him...

 

At that instant the Atheist cried out, 

'Oh my God!'

Time Stopped.

The bear froze.

The forest was silent.

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky.

'You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident.' 

'Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament?

Am I to count you as a believer?

The atheist looked directly into the light,

 'It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian'?

'Very well,' said the voice.

The light went out.

The sounds of the forest resumed.

Then, the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head & spoke:

 

'Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.'

=)

Hope this cheers up people who are stressed up about the small insignificant things in life that are bothering you. Well it did for me....... (By the way, i loved the apples Mrs. Ong bought for the graduating students. Those were some good and tasty apples.)

Sigh. Term 1 is gone. Or going soon. Just like that. I don't know about other people, but somehow this term just whizzed past me. Well, i know that Sabina doesn't think so...... Haha.

Just started to think about how term 1 was when i was in the toilet (don't ask why)...... Busier than the past 4 terms of 2008, definitely. But whether its worth it or not, that's another question. My mom thinks that i should cut off some activities and study more....... Haha. I don't foresee myself doing that until like, after term 2......

Well, I'm getting worried about my physics. Its having a downward trend now...... =p don't understand a single crap what Mr. Eng is talking about in class. I suppose i should stop dozing off and start listening to him now...... Especially this chapter on cathode ray oscillosomething...... Aaargh. Its frustrating to not be able to understand something...

Gonna sleep soon. Jhia Hao says i should sign up to be speech day mc. Hmmmm....... should i?

DL.........needtoclearmymind.......

Dead or Alive?

Okay...... Today is the day...... The time is now...... (actually, the time now is 2:48 am) Anyways, today i've decided about many things. Amongst them is that I've decided that I shall continue blogging until Midyears. This is after I've read a few people's blog, then suddenly just felt the urge to revive, or maybe resurrect my dead blog. I've also decided that I need to start writing more substantial and un-random stuff in my blog. This is after I realise that, my digression rate during writing is very very high. Most of last year's posts were labelled under "Random" and "Just Crapping". Hmmm. Not good for english. Must improve my english writing skills........ Haha. Can't believe I said that.

Anyways, my blog is now officially revived!
