Breaking Hiatus...

2009-12-01T15:16:00.003+08:00

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

2009-07-27T21:38:00.003+08:00

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....... =(

2009-03-23T00:07:00.005+08:00

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

2009-03-05T01:14:00.003+08:00

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?

2009-02-23T02:47:00.003+08:00

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!

DL............ slept3hrsintheafternoon.can'tfallasleepnow........

2008-12-03T16:32:00.004+08:00

Well apparently, a lot of people who 吃饱太闲空, tagged me for all kinds of quizzes. Well then, I suppose I should be courteous and reply those tags right?

Haha.... I'll do them later. Going to swim with my dad in a few minutes time. Just when I was trying to get an idea of what “金融危机” means in the middle of my 报章报道. And my mum's gonna ask me to decorate the house soon, and practise playing those carols, after which i would be moving the............ then i need to finish the.............

Never mind the randomness. I'm occupying myself with activities and chores and things to do so that: It'll keep myself away from the computer and to make me feel less bored and lethargic.

Well, i'd better get ready with my swimming gear... =p

I'll do the quizzes that I got tagged for some~~time tonight~~ other time lah...

I think.

With nothing else to say,

2008-11-26T00:10:00.004+08:00

Sigh... These few days have been boring.

Nothing much to say.

Anyways, got tagged by JiaYu and Victor.....

Quiz Time!
Rules & Regulations :
#01 - Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself.
#02 - At the end, you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names.
#03 - People who get tagged need to write a post of their own 10 weird things/habits/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly.
#04 - No tags back!

So, here i go....

- One of my greatest pastimes is sleeping, aka slacking...

- I have relatively long fingers.

- I strive to be thrifty. (In other words, I spend a lot. Esp on food)

- I don't believe that humans evolved from apes

- I wore braces before, and pulled out 4 molars because of that.

- The first movie I watched in a cinema, was "Ratatouille" (2007)

- My first handphone was given to me..... not by my parents or relatives or grandparents, but by my friends

- I grew up watching Sesame Street and i totally despise Teletubbies (even when i was young)

- Despite the fact that i enjoy suanning ppl, I don't think it is nice to do so. =p (contradicting myself)

- I like challenges that appear in my life. Life would be kinda boring without it.

Yup. that's 10 already.....

Tagging: hmmmm, apparently the ppl that i had in mind are already tagged by kh, victor and others..... nvm then...

Got to sleep soon... Going to the Petronas twin towers' bridge tmr... : ) then going christmas shopping... i think. See my parents in a good mood or not. =p

TTFN,

DanLiaw...nthtosaytoday....

Random rantings on my rather routine life + more...

2008-11-20T23:51:00.008+08:00

Well, not so routine maybe......

Today, went to the finals of the ...

3^rd ASEAN International Chopin Piano Competition

One word, after watching the finalists perform......................~~ breathtaking.

Each of them were all superbly wonderful in their playing..... very hard to distinguish between the good and the best. All were wonderful, and very young. Even though the competition was broken up into age groups, the participants for the junior category (primary sch age kids), played pieces that was far far beyond what I could manage..... Wow.... But some of the pieces they choose were very long and too soothing, that I dozed off more than three times.... (shows how good they are.... )=p (recordings were strictly prohibited, so can't show some pictures or vids) =c

One of the many pieces a lot of them played(love this piece. very nice.):

I dunno if any of them played 'til this perfect, but you get an idea how not-easy the piece is....

Anyways, after that...... I went shopping at the newest shopping mall in kl----- the Pavillion. Of course, with................................... my mom.... =p haha..... Just window shopping actually, since all the stores there sold branded goods ONLY---looking at stuff with horrifying price tags, pretending to try on some shoes that you know you'd never buy unless you win a lottery, even the food there was expensive (for a m'sian).... RM 9 for some char siew fan =O (Don't compare with Sg. It will seem rather cheap)

Hypothesis: Rolex is an extremely expensive brand.

Observation: The store has 2 security guards (which will only let you in after some heavy scrutiny), plus, the storekeepers never take their eyes off you the moment you enter...

Conclusion: Hypothesis is correct. Rolex is an extremely extremely expensive brand.....

Some pics from my phone.....

The first view u get after entering The Pavillion

Nice chandelier...... guess what its made of?

plastic water bottles. cool huh?

3 traffic lights of different height in case u aren't tall or short enough to see it

Well, that's all from today. Oh, did I mention that Microsoft Word CRASHED just when i finished doing my chinese article review? And, I was smart enough NOT to have saved it before. I spent a whole damned 2 hours doing that damned homework, now irretrievable. So now, I'll have to re-do that piece of crap. Great. Sooooooooo looking forward to that. (hint of sarcasm. No, not a hint actually, just plain sarcasm).

Well, i seriously have to sleep earlier...... and be more focused...... and enjoy my holidays more..... and use my computer less....... and excersice more..... and................

...

Never mind.

Ciao,

Da Niao.........crap,its2am.......again.....

ps. i need to get up earlier than 1pm.

pps. to do that i need to sleep earlier than 3 am.

ppps. much much much earlier.

pppps. love my new blogskin. (not much of a change though)

Breaking Hiatus.......

2008-11-18T17:37:00.006+08:00

Haha..... been lazy to blog this week. Sigh..... Slacking the whole 1st week of holiday away by doing the 2 things that i do best. My daily schedule: sleep->eat->nap->eat->sleep->eat->sleep, and maybe squeeze in some homework time somewhere..... haha...... (i just found out how wonderful it is to love eating and not needing to worry about your weight..... actually, i need to gain a few more kilos)

Its exactly one week after our choir concert, which was fun and great, although there were slips here and there, especially in the last part of "kiss the girl". But overall, i think the whole choir did a wonderful job and had lots of fun. Thanks to the WONDERFUL(i'm being sarcastic) audience, we had to do 3 times encore. Haha. well, visit other choir members blogs to see pictures and write-ups on the concert, I won't say much about it.

After choir concert, was a whole day of packing. Whoa!? Didn't know i had sooooooooo many stuff, until i started putting them into boxes. Its not a fun thing to do. Not at all. Well, after, uhmmmm, many many hours of hauling stuff out of drawers, squeezing them into boxes, then sitting on the boxes to tape the damn opening of the box, i managed to clear my section of the room. I slept with nothing on the bed save a naked pillow and a naked bed. =p ........

That night, we (Me, Loong, Mr Oh, and some other ppl) went to send Adari, Vinay, and Dhimas off....... and had dinner at bk there. and since i did not have any breakfast and lunch, i ordered the bk triple stacker.... mmmmmmm..... so fulfilling. Adari was courageous enough to order the quad stacker. My goodness, it is sooooooo thick. So damn hard to take one bite without stretching your jaws. Takes some skill to eat it and still look civilised. Haha..... In the end, adari gave up finishing it and asked if i still could eat somemore. I gladly offered my help.... =p Then, when we were feeling all bloated, Mr Oh came in. He ordered the quad stacker and guess what he said..... "Huh? So small ar? I expected it to be much bigger. And I paid 11 bucks for this?" And the rest of us were like... "Buuuurrrrpp...... you call that small? Small compared to your muscles lah....." Haha. he finished the whole damn burger with great ease, hands down. ~~So thats where his muscles come from~~..... =p

Well, just finished some wonderful ol' home cooked, non-victoria-hall, yummy m'sian dinner. Haha. Nth worth watching on tv nowadays... Global recession must have hit the tv stations hard. Some channels here are just airing old shows that i've seen at least twice... Ah, crap! just remembered. Haven't done this week's and last week's jian bao. And i still have 20 more jian baos to do. Isn't lcs wonderful? hahaha........

Well, better start sometime soon. Then go i'll have supper after that........ =D

Enjoy your holidays!!!

2008-11-10T01:23:00.004+08:00

1.30 am. Monday. 3 days to go, then i'll be back home. As in my real home. Not this home away from home (vh)......... Ah. I should be sleeping. Choir full dress rehearsal starts at 9 tomorrow. Hope I don't fall asleep. .....

Haven't blogged since the horrible days of the CL "o" lvl paper. Haha. Can't describe to you how ecstatic i was after it. I think i screwed up. (Somehow when i say that, the results always come out not too bad =p). Hoping for the best. Well, that afternoon after the paper, i was so hyper. Ask yao tian. Suddenly a burden lifted. Ah, i'm sure you know that feeling. Well, I haven't even touched my holiday homework yet, all thanks to choir, while some of the other scholars who are not in choir plan to finish their homework before they return. A very noble idea indeed, nevertheless one that i don't think i'll be able to achieve. Talking about choir, YES! I've finished learning how to play the "Sunny Side of The Street" that the girls are singing. After 1 week plus, i finished learning that stupid song AT LAST! Sigh. Well, the piece wasn't as tough as I first imagined it to be, just need practice. Practice makes perfect. Haha. One of the many wise sayings of my dad.

Ah, ~~tomorrow~~ today ( Monday ) Mr oh is bringing all us (the scholars) out at 8 to watch madagascar. FOR FREE. Yay...... haha. Such a nice teacher mentor. He didn't kill us when he found out that we all skipped school on friday (except loong, vivie and some of the prc's), but threatened to do so if there is a next time. Haha. We all thought that we were gonna be dead when we found out that he knew.

Just can't get the fact that I'll be back in Malaysia in a few days time out of my mind. (and for the 8765434435467787675th time), I can't wait to go back!!!!!!!! (not that I hate or dislike Singapore.)

Oh. Nick Vuijicic came to our church today. FYI, he's a 26 yr old guy, born without arms and feet, and has motivated and impacted many people's life, talked with presidents, PMs and kings, and is devoted to God. His website is http://lifewithoutlimbs.org . check it out. He's a cool guy, very motivating and encouraging. One thing he said that stuck to my mind was "God used me, a person without arms and legs, to be His hands and feet...." Set me thinking about my walk with God and my life. "If you've asked for a miracle, but God is not changing that circumstance in your life, that means that God will use that circumstance in your life to bless and impact others."

Yawn...... Okay. Enough talking. Better sleep. Tomorrow after choir must start packing already. My room is a total chaotic mess. Well, who cares? XD

1.50 am. time to sleep already. seriously.

See y'all,

Da Niao..................zzzzzzzzzz..........

3 days bfore cl 'O' lvl ppr and guess what? Im blogging.

2008-11-02T21:13:00.005+08:00

Ah. Felt like blogging, despite it being 3 days away from CL O LVL PAPER!!!!!

SO, here I am...... sigh. Wasted my whole weekend. Should have been studying. But what did I do? Went out to have a sushi buffet with my juniors that lasted the whole saturday afternoon. Then? This morning, went to ecp to do some surveying for some Asean Comm stuff about some activity that we are organising for the juniors sometime soon. (To be exact, this saturday.)

Oh, Me and dhimas helped some people fix their bike. Apparently, their bike's chain was stuck. So, Dhimas, being such a helpful person, went to try to help, and I joined him sometime later. The group of friends who's bike was having problems were conversing in malay, thinking that me and dhimas couldn't understand. So, after we fixed their bike(wasn't a major problem actually, just some tugging at the bike chain fixed it), they said thank you, and one of them offered: Do u ......erm......want a kain to ....uhh......wipe ur hands? (kain = cloth in malay) then one of their friends said: "Not kain lah. Cloth." But me and dhimas understood either way. When we headed back, NC said it would be damn funny if the two of u(me and dhimas) suddenly started conversing in malay...... haha. =p

Well, there goes one weekend, where I thought I would confine myself to Victoria Hall and mug. Haha. Mugging and I do not go well. We just detest each other. Always make up my mind to mug, but in the end ended up doing something else. I am definitely not the quintessence of self-dicipline. (haha. new word i learnt: quintessence)Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Feel guilty now. Ah, but I definitely had an enjoyable time.

On the bright side, its merely 11 days till I'll be breathing some good ol' m'sian air!!!! Yippieee. I've said this previously, and i'll say it again. I CAN"T WAIT TO GO BACK TO M'SIA!!!! .......=] Have been thinking a lot about what i'll do when i get back to m'sia, and the last thing on my list is definitely mugging, even though mrs ong thinks we should be doing exactly that. Well, sadly, temasek teachers are shrewd enough to give us enough homework to make sure that we come into contact with our textbooks throughout the holiday. What is a holiday to temasekians without some holiday homework right? =p

I'm lucky though, some other scholars from other schools only get to go back for like, 2 weeks, throughout the holiday. Mainly due to cca commitments. Soooo thankful that choir is not as crazy as that. Talking about choir, there's a concert next wednesday, and I can't wait for that day to be over. Then my Sec 3 life in Singapore will officially 圆满结束. Then, the real holiday starts. Yeah!

Okay. I think i'm focusing on the wrong thing now. Should be thinking more about my chinese. Aaaargh!wait. Just remembered. Tomorrow got physics spa...... Uh oh...... not even mentally prepared.

Never mind. I slept in the afternoon. So can afford to sleep a wee bit later tonight.

Well, that's all for today. Better mug some more. =]

Back to mugging,

Da Niao.......i"LOVE"chinese.......

P.s, hope i didn't sound too pissed off in my last post, cuz i wasn't =}

Malaysia!!!!! Here I come (........................... back for holiday)

2008-10-29T01:10:00.000+08:00

12.30 midnight. Again. Man, i just have to learn to sleep early. Sadly, thanks to lcs, i'll be sleep deprived these few days. Sigh. So many things happening at one go.

Went out with my M'sian scholar juniors yesterday, to Sentosa (I got a tan!!). Haiz. There were 8 "seniors" and around 15 juniors (Many of the guys were actually of my height! =D)...... Played captain's ball first thing in the morning. My goodness, they were soooooo full of energy and zest. The seniors (us) were outnumbered and overpowered. Sigh. Feeling sooooo old now, even though some of them are actually of the same age as me. I think it must be that they just came down from malaysia, so they just had a healthy dose of malaysian ~~polluted~~ air, thats why they're so energetic. haha. Not that I have anything about Singapore's clean air, but you know, nothing beats good ol' homecountry air. =] ..... The juniors are quite a cool bunch of ppl. But still not as crazy as our batch. Wonder what school they will go to? Two will be coming over to temasek. Two guys going to Bk Panjang Sec. The rest? Dunno. I hope the two ppl that are coming over will not be disappointed that they're going to temasek. But hey, Temasek is a good school ok!? Not as bad as you think. But I don't think I'm pro-temasek, unlike victor. c= Sigh one year in Singapore already. 3 more to go. Ask me whether I have anything to say about this one year? hah. A LOT. But i think i'll keep my thoughts to myself.

Choir. Sigh Sigh and sigh again. The main reason why I'm soooooooo tired and spent every night. 3 hours of singing everyday man. Beat that. Furthermore, still got......................................

Ah. Don't want to complain on my blog. Makes it sound so boring.......

Btw, choir ppl, i think is high time I said something. I DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT like W. Okay? There. I've said it. I do not know how all this came about, but it has become rather annoying. So, for those who doubt my stand, let me tell you, I DO NOT have a liking for any girl in choir..... or in 3/2. Or at least not yet (Don't get the wrong idea). So Joelle, u wanna know the girl that i like is from which class? Keep guessing.......=] Want me to tell u? Dream on. ;] And Brandon, I DO NOT like XY. Z has been causing enough annoyance in the section. He doesn't need your help in bugging me. Haha. Ironic how all the ppl I've mentioned actually have the letters W, X, Y and Z in their names.

Ahhs. Never mind that. Change topic. I'm going back to malaysia on the 12th or 13th of Nov. Haven't decided yet. Can't wait for that day. Taking bus back this time. No more cheap AirAsia flights =( Can't wait can't wait can't wait...................

Oh. I've decided that I shan't use this blog for English. This shall be my personal rubbishcontainer, and i'll just set up another blog for Mr Toh to grade. (Seriously!? The idea of grading a blog?)

Okay. I think I should finish up this chinese homework. I don't think I'll be updating my blog till after 5th Nov. Gotta STUDY. Haha. I find myself actually saying that aloud very funny.

Ta ta for now... =]

如释重负？

2008-10-09T23:15:00.005+08:00

Breathe in, Breathe out.

Exams are over..... soon. Tomorrow's E maths paper 1, shouldn't be much of a problem. Everyone in Victoria Hall here is slacking the day away. Yea! Can't believe it. I've been waiting for this day for 1 whole term. No more exams for this year!! Sooooooo happy! Yippieeeee!!!! So escatic. ~~如释重负......

Then.....

..... i thought of .......

=GCE 'O' LVL CL PAPER=

............ ah. just spoils the mood. 扫兴. Starting next week, lcs is gonna give a hell lot of homework in preparation for it. No. Actually, she gave it to us already and you know what? It's as thick as my SS FILE!? Think about all the worksheets and hwk from ms soh and mrs ng throughout this whole year, and just in 1 day, lcs gave us the same amount of work. Haiz. After exam need to already start doing 3 papers. D= Someone said 先苦后甜... ... ah. whatever. I don't think I've ever lived by that principle. Never mind. Got 3 days to do it. Most likely I'll only think about it the day before lcs wants to go through it.

For now, I'll just enjoy the post-exam-no-stress-feeling. Don't wanna think about how much I screwed up for this exam. Don't bother to ask me either.

Btw, Mr Oh asked us what movie to play for post-exam activities. We suggested quite a few, but apparently they were either nc-16 movies or just unsuitable ones...... c=

Ah. 11 30 already. Better go sleep soon.

Tata,

birthstudy day

2008-10-06T15:37:00.006+08:00

Can't belive I can still find time to write this.

Exams are clogging up my mind, and let me tell you something, studying the WHOLE DAY during that one special day in a year where you grow older by one year, that one day that should or could have been spent in a more enjoyable way, that one day that is your BIRTHDAY, ISN'T NICE.

But, I still had a lot of fun. Despite the abovementioned fact, I still managed to enjoy myself that day. Special thanks to these few people who made my day that day... Thanks to Vincent Tan, Philip, Vincent Z, Stephanie, Kenneth, Alice, Laura, Pearllyn, Khoon Hwa, Wen Ya, Mad., XW, Michelle, Livia, WL, Harrison, Pei Shan, Ansley, Leo, Zhi Xin..... for your birthday wishes. That goes without saying thanks to my parents & sister who called me first thing in the morning. Special thanks to all those Sec3 tms scholars who actually bought a cake. And thanks vinay for wasting that piece of cake that you added to my face. (Btw, fyi my birthday was on 3rd Oct) hehe...

Ah. Must study chem now. Die Die Die. Screwed up Bio just now. Hope I fare better in Chem and Geog tomorrow.

Well, cheerio

Daniel. victoriaschoolfoodiswonderful. =]

Last Post...................... Before exams

2008-09-30T17:31:00.005+08:00

This will be my last post till end of the Final exams. After which I will refurbish the whole blog.

Today's the last day of school till exams, don't feel like studying, so just opened up my laptop and landed here. Nothing much to say though, guess I'll just crap about random stuff like the last two posts...

Yesterday, a few of us scholars felt "overly stressed" from "studying" (including me), and so went to KFC to have dinner. Throughout the whole dinner, everyone was joking about singlish. Hearing Loong and Vinay speaking in a forced Singlish accent, hahahaha.... soooo funny. Especially Loong. He can mimick lots of other accents too. They were just adding sia's lah's meh's hor's one's walaueh's and stuff like that in every sentence. It cheered everyone up. "xiao!" was vinay's word of the day.

Speaking of singlish, saw in Readers' Digest one ad by Acer Aspire.

"My one keeps me mobile. Want one? Aspire One."

"My one"?? In RD? Unbelievable. But it's there. Haha.

Ah. Nothing to say liao, except Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to my Malay friends. Here 1 day holiday only. Malaysia got 1 week or so........ =] Anyways, i'm still glad got holiday and e-learning for next 3 days. ~~Can slack a bit.~~ Must study like hell. All the best in next week's exams everyone. Hope that we'll get the results we aimed for.

Going to mug,

Daniel. scoringinexamsforgod'sglory

Wonderful - SS

2008-09-20T22:24:00.005+08:00

Wonderful....

I just LOVE SS. The subject is SOOOO wonderful. All the memorizing, all the FDEL's AIDE's and crap like that, just makes the subject so EXHILARATING and INTERESTING. Studying about another country's govt inside out and how wonderful the govt is, it just BLOWS ME OFF MY FEET. I'm so excited that I'm studying this POPULAR and WELL-LOVED subject right now. I'm practically ON CLOUD NINE that the Final year Exam for this subject is just round the corner (actually, just 4 days away). Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. You just gotta LooooooooVE this subject. You know, I just might be an SS teacher when I grow up.

Okay. Maybe I take that last sentence back. Don't wanna curse myself. ~~(i sure hope Ms. Soh or Mrs. Ng doesn't see this)~~

Anyways, one thing that I leart from SS is that to be sarcastic in writing, one sometimes uses CAPITAL LETTERS ~~as shown above~~.

Ok. I should stop crapping to myself and continue staring at my SS textbook (as if anything i read actually goes into my brain). If only my poor brain cells could just super glue everything i read to itself, life would be a hell lot easier.

Ah heck. See how much time I've spent writing this. That time SHOULD BE USED TO STUDY FOR SS...........

Whatever.

Back to studying,

Daniel. SpendingmyweekendstudyingSS................................ justdoesn'tseemright.

Crapping about schoolwork

2008-09-19T15:36:00.005+08:00

Ah.... its the weekend again. Should be feeling a sense of relief that somehow isn't there. Pressure and more pressure is what's there. SS final term exam is next week and I can't believe that I have only 5 days left to prepare. 5 Days!!!! And to say that I still have some leftover homework to complete would be an understatement. Well. Too bad. Looks like I won't be going anywhere this weekend. Study. Study. Study. Must hammer SS stuff into my head over the weekend.

Chemistry. Sigh.... Virtually SLEPT through most of last term's Chem classes. Now i regret. Some how whatever Mrs. Teo says now just doesn't make sense. Need ~~some~~ A LOT of time to catch up on those slept-through-lessons. Sigh.

Wonder why I'm crapping about all this on my blog. Sounds all so boring and stupid. Even typing this makes me feel drowsy. Maybe I should take my usual afternoon nap. Its FRIDAY!? anyway... ... ... ... so who cares?

(Yesterday compulsory study time. Teacher Mentor (Mr oh) doing room to room check...)

Me: ... ...[in toilet doing business] ... ...

Mr Oh: [enters room]...

Me: [still in toilet doing business]

Mr Oh: Why don't you all TURN OFF THE TOILET LIGHTS and heater when you're not using them.... [click]

Me: ... ... [darkness in toilet]... ... ... o.O

Mr Oh: Oh!? Is that you Daniel?

Me: Mm hmm..... (like duh!?)

Mr Oh: Hahaha..... Ok. don't take too long.

Me: Okay..... (very funny, mr oh.......)

...

Feels sooooo weird talking to someone from the toilet. Especially when you're doing "business". Haha.

Nap time... hope I wake up in time for dinner. =]

Peace out,

Daniel. ilivetosleep

First Post

2008-09-17T16:35:00.000+08:00

Ah. At last. Have been postponing and procrastinating a lot before i finally decided to set up this blog. This is my first post in this blog. Nothing much to say - not much of a blogger. Sien ah. Being preoccupied with soooo many schoolwork. Secondary school life just seems to accelerate and get faster and faster. Even more so in Singapore. Wonder where's the force coming from?? (one of Newton's laws) =]

Can't imagine that i'm talking about physics in my blog. Well, at least now there's one less in my todo list.

Create a blog? Check.
