Let's see now, I had lotsa fun today... First it was games in church with the Youth... We played some funny stuff related to getting to know each other better and everyone was screaming with enjoyment... Next, my family + Elaine + Elaine's mum took a car ride to Pasir Ris Park to have funz. We ended up walking along the litter-strewn beach, eating lotsa food, and playing X-box at downtown East... Actually my bro wanted to go to escape, cos the entry fee today is $2 only. ( Promotionz) But Elaine and I were too sianz and felt tat it was very bo liao. What can we do in Escape? Its always e same stuff lor. Anyway, we ended up at Elaine's home hours later eating lotsa pizza...lols. That's all for today. School from 8-6pm tomorrowz. Fun?

SYF Dances
Well, it has been decided. There'll be two dances for next SYF, one Modern and another cultural. I'm in modern! Well, the storyline is about a tribe living in the mountains experiencing the so-called love and disgust of love too... Ho-hum. I can't wait. Dance rox.
Basically there are going to be lots of CCA practices this holiday, and it takes up the first two weeks. Everyday except Sunday, 8-6pm. This includes my extra lessons for Chem, Phy and A Math. Wonderful indeed. All of my commitments clashed. How am I going to concentrate on both studies and Dance? Since its the hols, I shall put my heart into Dancing. It has become my interest in sec 2. SYF practices rox. Though I slack alot, I do train alone at homez. Its kinda embarassing to train in front of so many peeps, but then again, as Mr Loh said, we can all afford to lose our faces while learning. Its all part of the process! Lols. I seem to be contradicting myself... Here's my link to the new photos...
Anyway, I do look forward to the following week. Homework. SYF.Extra classes. People, its time to party!

.Today.
Today has been a moderately interesting day. It kicked off with Chemistry Class, with Ms Wassan giving us her two cents worth and going through the EOY papers. It was another interactive session as usual. Next, we proceeded to the hall to watch a mime and were entertained by the ancient art. A Deepavali play was also put up by the Temple of Fine Arts, followed by a fascinating one-man circus.
I took the opportunity during the last two periods and removed all the class decorations. I was covered in a thick layer of dust after that.
Upon returning home, I was dragged off to CDANS to swim by my father. “As a boy you must be more active and exercise more often…You’re very lucky that I’m here to teach you all this… You have too little self-motivation…” The usual naggings… Argh. It was freezing out there in the pool. I was pushed to my limits. But anyway, it was probably useful. I needed it.

--Today--
Today has been a tiring day for me. I visited the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and saw the various sectors of education that the school offered. Photography, drawings, paintings and creative pieces of art were part and parcel of this visit, but I can’t seem to appreciate most of the art except the photography part. I do intend to take up photography as a hobby in the near future.
Next, our class visited the Esplanade for a Jazz performance by the Caravan Jazz band. ‘Bassa Nova Rhythms’ was the theme. The band played extremely well, but unfortunately, most of the students could not appreciate Jazz and actually fell asleep!
After the performance, Me, Jocelyn, Su Ting, Li Ting, Sylvia and Deadfish went off to look for food. I had lost contact wif the other boys at that point of time. Actually, they went up to the library. Nobody wanted to eat in the end. Lols. Lotsa NH peeps bought chocolates from the many chocolate shops there. So many chockies were everywhere!!! Next, all of us returned to school, and were promptly dismissed by Mrs Chiang. Jia Hao, me, st & Momo went off for the Bio infomatics course. We headed for Biopolis wif many others… There, we were enlightened by the wonderful technology, DNA video, quiz, super computers and lecture. I really enjoyed the trip there. Woah, see how fulfilling the day was? [ I finally finished my roll of film!! It’ll be out in a few days!!]

I'm pretty annoyed right now... I was typing my entry, which was quite long, when my aunt called and disrupted the whole computer. The whole entry disappeared. Anyway.... I decided to summarise:
- Met several NHSS sec 2 students at CDANS but I didn't know them. They recognised me as a NH student though. Yay!
- Chatted for some time with st online.
- Typed out a compo on Singapore's education.
- Harry potter quote:" You want Fudge to be replaced by dumbledore!"
- Another quote:" Reasonable be damned, yeh won' take me like this, Dawlish!"
Sorry for the short entry, but I cannot stay online any further.

Well, thanks for cheering me up through tagging! Lol. I feel much better now, after consuming about several scoops of chocolate + strawberry ice cream. Oh dear, I'm going to get fat if this continues...
Today's church bible study was held at the multi purpose hall, but we couldn't find any space and decided to use the guest table!! Wheeee!!!!!!! Talked about salvation and faith today... Herman and Charlene did't come again!!! Arghh. I must pray for them. :D We'll be going for a chalet on Deepavali!! Lols. I'm not telling you where...Let u guess!!!
I'll provide two funny quotes today:" Stains of dishonour, filthy half-breeds, blood traitors,children of filth..." and "ARE YOU MAD, MAD-EYE?" Guess which two characters said that. Enjoy.

I'll leave u to guess who said that and in which book... Good day!

Well, its the weekends again! Just 7 more days to the hols, but I am not looking forward to next week anymore. I foretell a great disaster. This may eventually lead to something similar to that that happened to me in primary 5. I dare not speak of the past as it would come back and haunt me. I cross my fingers and hope for the best. Nobody would understand the trauma that I'm going through right now. Not even my dearest parents and friends. Sob. I'm just going through another bad storm in my life. Its as if some malevolent spirit is throwing endless buckets of sadness right upon me. I'm trying my very best to put up a brave front, so I'll tend to be more insensitive. Hope u guys would understand. If anything happens to me, you'll know why I'm so depressed deep within my heart.Ok. Enough of those stuff, I must not feel too sad. It has been a great year spent with 3/9.
I'm getting addicted to strawberry ice cream lately. I can't seem to get enough of it!!! It kinda sweetens my life I suppose. lol. Hopefully, my weekend would be more cheerful.

:: Chalet ::
Ok, now I shall elaborate on my chalet stay. Compared to the Sentosa trip, this chalet is just peanuts I suppose. Elaine and her relatives+ JH, CK, Shemuel+ My relatives had alot of fun.... Hahaz...I'm tired of writing, let the pics tell a thousand words. I shall post them in a few days. Enjoy tommorrow NHSS students. The results are coming out...

Class Outing??
Gosh, I just didn't manage to blog for two days and my tagboard was flooded liao. I already explained in my previous entry that I had a chalet but the words came out as an odd straight line. ( look below) Anyway, I shall describe the entire Sentosa trip in my second paragraph.
Okay. On Monday, upon realising that only Jia Hao, Chin Kuan, Jocelyn, Shemuel and Ying Jie were going to Sentosa, I felt rather disappointed. However, Jocelyn brought her fren, Zheng Yang,( From Maris Stella) along to have fun too. So in the end, we had 7 people who went. 5 of us changed after school as if there were no school rules at all and Shemuel was like ogling at me and Chin Kuan all the way while we were changing and saying that he felt so fat and un-muscular standing next to us. lol. Then he started crapping about 6packs and kept staring at me with a funny look till I retreated to a cubicle. lol. We actually took about 15 minutes to finish changing! ( lol, i elaborate on this for wat??? Nvm.)
Basically, all of us except JoJo and her fren left for the Habourfront Centre after school and had lunch at the nearby hawker centre. Chin Kuan was saying that he felt like vommiting for some reason, and we decided to spend the morning at the hawker centre eating away. In the end we left for Sentosa immediately after eating and prayed that it didn't rain. It did. We brisk walked from the Ferry Terminal station to the Sijori Resort and waited for the rain to stop while playing two games of pool. It was my first time playing pool and I found out that Jia Hao, Chin Kuan and Shemuel were very good at it sia. Meanwhile we received a call from Jojo who said she was coming soon.
The rain stopped after our two games and we headed for Siloso Beach. The beach was quite empty when we reached and we played volleyball. As the 5 of us kinda sux at volleyball, the ball kept rolling far far away till we gave up and went off to play basketball. Hahaz...It was my first time this year playing basketball!!! Imagine that. Shemuel kept saying it was boring playing among ourselves and suggested that we join a group of girls for a game of volleyball or basketball. He KEPT suggesting that and whenever a group of unsightfully dressed gals walked past us, he would make tat suggestion again and stare lustfully at them. CK, JH and I were so disgusted sia. Jia Hao fell while trying to execute a stunt and injured himself slightly. We approached the nearby toilet to take a break and refreshment. Undeterred, JH, S and CK continued playing till the early afternoon. Ying Jie and I sat at a picnic table and waited for Jojo to appear. Ying Jie got so bored till he took a short run. I stretched.
Finally, Jojo and her fren turned up and we headed for the kayaks. JH, Shemuel and YJ went in with their full attire and I was kinda confused cos they were about to dirty their shirts. Hence, I decided not to follow suit. I went off with CK and kayaked to the middle of the sea. I was obviously not used to sitting at the front, and in the end, our kakyak capsized. Thankfully the both of us are very very good swimmers and we got back on board within a few minutes. I wasn't expecting myself to get so wet sia. Next, I paired up wif ZY, and we kayaked non-stop till we were tired out. Yeah, I was pretty tired out by then but I felt that it was so fun and made good exercise that I continued. We finally stopped in the middle of the sea and laid flat on the kayak to rest. ZY decided to keep Jojo company, and we kayaked back to shore. ( Jojo was waiting patiently at the shore cos she was not allowed to enter the waters.) We showered quickly and returned to the beach to dry up. I do have photos of this scene, but it wouldn't be ready so soon.
Meanwhile. CK had a migraine and we decided to head back to Habourfront. Suddenly, we received a call from Wilfred and Rui Siang's 'gang'. They were at Palawan beach! Anyway, we continued to head back and ended up at the bus. ZY laid his head upon Jojo, who did the same on board the bus. I wonder what is going on here....
We split up on board the MRT, but cK, S and JH followed me to Laser Quest where we played. A BBQ was awaiting us at the chalet too!!! [ i summarised everything ]

Okie.... It has been a rather rainy afternoon here in Bukit Batok. Hopefully, such weather would not be present at Sentosa tommorrow, otherwise all the activites would have to be cancelled or postponed.
I went to CDANS this afternoon for lunch and met Eugene Tan with his family. He had gone there for a swim with his dad. I haven't seen him in a while, and couldn't recognise him at first sia... We didn't talk much though, cos we just didn't have the time to do so... By the way, Eugene Tan was my inspiration to start physical training to attain a better fitness level. He is a fitness enthusiast sia. He was e one who gave me the motivation to train for pull-ups in sec 1 and now, both of us can do 12 pull-ups or even more. Oh well, I know that I'm crapping a lot right now. Oh well, I'll be going on a short holiday for three days. Where? Only a few people knows, and I'm not telling. Hahaz... Hence, I'll not be online for about two days. I can't think of anymore stuff to crap about. So there.

Well, nothing much to say about today. I started on my 'Mother of all tagboards' project, and have added 4 tagboards to it only. Apparently tagboards have too large sizes for my computer to take it. I may eventually give up on this. You may want to see my 'half-way' work. Click Here. Yeah. It's incomplete. Well, that's probably all for today. I can't wait to go to sentosa on Monday!!

::Finally::
After a week of horrors and trepidation, its finally over. Well, not really over. We'll be getting our results on this Thursday and Friday. I'll worry about that later. Meanwhile, I just want to relax.
I have given myself 3 blogging projects. First, I'll upgrade Chin Kuan's blog personally. Next, I'll try to create the mother of all tagboards. This webpage 'll contain everyone's tagboards, and would give everyone a lot of convenience. However, this project'll take at least a month or two. Thirdly, I have to update my personal profile webpage. This is to allow u people to get to know me better. I've done it halfway liao.
Since its been so long since I've made an entry, I'll make this a long one. Yesterday, the Minister Mentor announced the 'resurrection' of studying wif Chinese for P1 to P3. I think he is either getting too old or was affected by a new song on radio called ' Learning Chinese'. I respect LKY, but this action will definitely spell disaster. Thank goodness I'm outta Primary school. English rulez this world. Nobody can change that. Chinese is a SECOND LANGUAGE, NOT like english!!! English rules!!!
I just got back from laser quest. Went there wif my family and thrashed two groups of people. One from Cedar Girls and another from St. Margarets. Hahaz... Must warm up before the ultimate battle on Wed when CK and the others come along. My score: 1121 and 1311. Made new friends again!! Yipee.... I love making friends!!
Now that the exams are over I can finally let go. I'll have several tasks ahead. SYF, helping ST to make more friends ( though I'm not very good at that myself), and to remove all class decoration in two weeks time. WEll, here we go... ( i've updated my personl profile liao. Do take a look. )

I'm having a splitting headache right now. I guess I must have messed up my biological alarm clock by waking up so late yesterday morning. It always happens when I wake up late on Sundays. Apparently that hasn't stopped me from blogging. Hahaz.
I'm gonna recount what happened last nite when I went ut wif Elaine & family. We had claypot rice at Bukit Batok East I think, right opp. Keming Primary school and near a multi-storey carpark. It was delicious!!! Anyway, we went off to windowshop at the
pasar malam ( nite market) where Elaine and I saw this stall selling a very big pen which of course can be used. Astonished, the both of us started laughing. I controlled myself from laughing further cos everyone was lookin at us, wondering what was so funny. Elaine laughed till she had to bend down to restrain herself. Hahaz... She was hysterical sia. Next, we passed by this children's playground. Elaine passed her HP to her dad and ran off to play. Hehe... So funny...
It was great fun even till the end when my dad sent them home. Upon hearing from my dad that my laughter was similar to hers, she broke out into a series of laughter, and ended up squatting next to a car, laughing away. ( Actually I'm also a laughing stock, but I have been refraining myself this year to prevent funny stares... Hehe...) I did not restrain myself last year, and even found myself laughing at the smallest matters such as greeting the teacher. I was actually teased by Mr. Tan for laughing so much till I decided to
TRY to stop altogether. My classmates will know better.
Today has been a normal day...Nothin much to talk about leh.... I'll end off here. My headache is killing me... ARhh!!!!

Today has been a rather mentally exhausting day for me. I’ve been studying the whole day!! I’ve even skipped church today just to complete an A maths past year paper. I can’t believe that I actually did that!!! Anyway, my mum and dad traded in their handphones for much better ones. My mum has a Siemens C65 now while my dad has a Nokia 3120. My mum’s phone has an integrated camera and voice recorder!! It’s also MMS enabled!! Elaine’s mum also decided to change her phone to the Siemens C65!! This is so cool, besides the fact that I still do not own a handphone. I felt really emotional just now sia. Its all due to peer pressure I guess. What’s the big idea about a handphone, I’ve been asking myself. I guess too many of my peers own handphones. Darn. I suddenly feel like cursing.
Going to eat out with Elaine and family tonite somewhere near Keming Primary. Wonder where could it be… Hope I’ll enjoy myself!! Smile always!!

I took the English paper 1 and cL paper 1 today.... For English I wrote about a person who changed my life ( fiction of course) and for Chinese I wrote about kiasu Singaporeans. Basically, it was o.k. I think.
Apparently I had made a mild mistake in announcing that Su ting and Eric were abt to join e class committee. Something is just not right abt the fact that Mdm Surin is so hesitant abt announcing the news. Meanwhile, I just hope to be able to keep my position as Class care representative. I prefer to work behind the scenes. Although I have actually done a little too much for the class, making me class chairman is out of the question. If Mdm Surin asks for a voting thingy. dO NOT VOTE 4 ME. I need to concentrate on my studies and desperately need the freedom of being a student without any leadership responsibilities. lolz. I need freedom.
Just got my hair cut today. You peeps will get to see me wif a new look on Monday!!! Yipeee....lame.
