Tuesday, September 30, 2008 ( @ 9:33 PM ) Screw promos. 0 comments Monday, September 29, 2008 ( @ 5:52 PM ) In secondary 1 i was so disappointed with my PSLE grades that i resolved to get out of N(A) just so that i could go into express and take the route more commonly taken. I studied my ass off that year, and was First in the N(A) stream and got promoted to the top express class that a N(A) student could go to. And i got 500 bucks for some MOE thingy for being top in stream too. In secondary 2 i got distracted, i got complacent, also, my maths tutor left me as she went overseas to live a new life. My academic life took a 180 degree turn and it was downhill from then on. I failed all my subjects miserably and the option of dropping back down to N(A) seemed possible. But by God's grace I remained in the express stream, but was posted to the Design and Technology Class (which was also the worst express stream class). In secondary 3 i made alot of new friends who showed me the other side of life in Barker road, it will be a year i will never forget. In this class of 3C3, apparently teacher's expectations of this class weren't very high and no one expected much from my class. Did i mention i was robbed of my opportunity to do A maths as well? Because my Secondary 2 maths was so poor they didn't allow me to take A maths and in the end i had to do it privately. In secondary 3 i was determined to take Pure Science and Additional Maths as more doors would be open to me. In the end i unknowingly took the A maths exam and not the Pure science exam (mainly cos no one told me so) and i only ended up getting promoted to a A Maths class in Secondary 4. This goes to show, that given the right motivation, even the students whom you think are the worst can do their best and beat the rest. Although i did not technically pass my A maths, they still allowed me to take A maths in Secondary 4. In secondary 4 i was promoted to the class 4B1, there again i made new friends who showed me yet another side of barker life. It was in this year, that i became the boy to beat in terms of academic results, everyone was aiming for me, teachers had high hopes, if i remember correctly my History teacher said that i could get a B3 for Humanities no problem, but in the end i got C5 for O levels. On the day i got my O level results, everyone expected me to get a 9 or so or at least be top in class. But alas, i was beaten and the "hero" has fallen. This goes to show, that pressure over time if applied constantly will affect the mind of a child. I was always the guy to beat, and the pressure on me to keep on being the top took a toll on me, and in the end, it happened. With my O level score of 14, ACJC seemed very far away, but by God's grace, i got in with the help of the Chinese Orchestra of which i thank very much. And now, here i am in ACJC, a boy who went to N(A) with a PSLE score of 193, and a O level score of 14 points, but yet i am here, in ACJC, did i mention that the school said that the top 10% of your primary school cohort is in ACJC? Well, they are seriously wrong, in fact, i'm probably the BOTTOM 10% of my primary school cohort. I do not regret coming here (though i may say so at times) and i thank God for putting me here. So that i may meet people, and gain valuable experiences that i may carry all my life. Just recently, i believe i have experienced the best as to what life has to offer, but even more recently, i have experienced the worst. We must all learn to pick ourselves up and start again... Point of all this, God has a plan for everyone of us, when things may seem impossible, God will make it possible, provided he deems it good for you. What seems to be downhill, may just prove to be uphill. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 0 comments Sunday, September 28, 2008 ( @ 8:59 PM ) FRIDAY: Chemistry and GP paper, my mind was basically somewhere, only after i finished all my GP comprehension and left with AQ did my mind wander, and it was quite hard to get back on track cos yeah, i was thinking about stuff, soon i fell asleep, then 5 minutes later i woke up again, and i had 1/2 an hour left to do AQ, so i chiong-ed it and managed to finish it. Chemistry was... don't wanna talk about that. Gave something away that day too, marked the end of something that could've been... SATURDAY: Had tuition in the morning at 530am again, but the teacher came slightly earlier, let her off early cos she wasn't feeling too well. Went jogging to get back my drive to study. Went to school after that to study. At about 5pm went to swim, i forgot how good it was to swim long distance, but i didn't bring my goggles so my eyes were blood-red after the swim, which was about 2km in distance... Went for dinner after that with family and Aunt Lena who came back for some reason from Australia. Went back home totally shagged to the core... SUNDAY: Totally unproductive day... so far 0 comments ( @ 7:43 AM ) Well. School is becoming more and more boring ever since that day, where all i go to school for is to study with the guys, somehow i think studying with the opposite sex makes things abit easier? It was my own fault that it turned out this way. "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?" Jeremiah 17:9. I shouldn't have listened to my heart. "Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life" John 14:6. As the article in the methodist message said, we should follow Jesus and not our Hearts. So next time i'll know better. I let myself into thinking that it was true, only to end up hurting myself, she said so herself that it would happen if i kept on the way i was, true enough. Thanks to all the people who consoled me, friends are really the best. 0 comments Thursday, September 25, 2008 ( @ 8:44 PM ) I will be a man and tell you people this, all of it was MY fault, MY own foolishness caused it and I AM ashamed of it. NOBODY can POSSIBLY feel LOVE at the age of 17 or anything below that for matter. You may think you know it, but you don't. Anything you feel now, is just attraction dusted with a bit of affection, nothing more. Love is nice. Too nice i must say, but the price it bears is one heavy shit. And if you can't carry it, don't try. 0 comments Wednesday, September 24, 2008 ( @ 10:05 PM ) I need to go jogging again... Maybe after promos. Life sucks, school sucks, exams suck. but life... i dunno And when you put your arms around me, would it change the way i feel 0 comments Tuesday, September 23, 2008 ( @ 11:02 PM ) The workload is increasing exponentially, and using this language is not helping cos i'm thinking of e right now. so much to do, so little time. Chemistry is this friday and i think i'm going to be screwed for it. Tuition at 5am again tomorrow and another at 10am, then on to school to study till 10am. what is going on man.  This is what i drank today while studying... the bottle was achoo's. 0 comments Monday, September 22, 2008 ( @ 10:14 PM ) Did the stupidest and nicest thing ever today. Stress is building up. And any opportunity i get i'll take it. I will promote... 0 comments ( @ 11:48 AM ) Today is a waste of time, seriously, i came all prepped up for PE only to find out that there's no PE. So yeah, today is an official waste of time, on a lighter note.. i finished 80% of my physics hmwk! I only came to school for 3 reasons: 1. Hand up EoM 2. Hand up Zuowen 3. Hang out more with you and now... even the 3rd reason seems far away... 0 comments Sunday, September 21, 2008 ( @ 8:43 PM ) CO pamphlet is time consuming. -To say 'i love you' is an understatement. -To say 'i love you' so soon means nothing. -To say 'i love you' to you means nothing. -To be with you, is just everything. -You say love is a decision. Well, let me decide then. 0 comments ( @ 7:53 AM ) Haha, okay. Weird start... FRIDAY: 9 People came to school, or was it 10? Anyway, Friday was like a waste of time la... Only productive lesson was chinese, in which we wrote an essay.. ANNNNNND i got back my chinese test! which i PASSED! for once in my JC life i passed! Haha. Yay for lukas! Stayed back till like, 10pm with ianyang to STUDY, which was quite productive... Reason being... NO distractions and PEER influence, how to not study when there are like, 70+ people around you studying as well? Food ministry food is quite nice btw. and there was no queue la please. SATURDAY: Had tuition at 530am again, maths is getting clearer and clearer after every lesson. Hopefully i'll be able to get my B for promos so i can pass maths overall cos i think i can't be too dependent on my chemistry. Studied in school after with ianyang mike and irvin till 7-8+ or so. Played bball with some new friends and PWNED the opposing team with them. Wanted to go swimming but apsc was using the whole pool so couldn't. Exams exams exams...  Here's what i drank yesterday... plus a bubble tea and lots of water form the water cooler... Why can't you believe what i say? Is it that unbelievable? 0 comments Thursday, September 18, 2008 ( @ 9:28 PM ) Promos are nearing, like.. REALLY nearing, i don't think i've ever studied so hard for an exam, well, i guess there's always a first.. And this is only J1, i can imagine what J2 is going to be like with A's and all... JC life is definitely not for the faint-hearted. Now is the time to MUG, and i'm still online Zzz. My dad keeps on bugging me about chem chem chem, really pissing, i'd wish he'd stop and leave me alone and just TRUST me and have more FAITH for the love of God. It's really pissing me off. On the other hand, if i promote, i get an iTouch... hopefully... All i want to do right now is get my sorry ass to J2, doesn't matter if its promote or advance (since i don't really mind doing supplementaries), as long as i get into J2. MUG MUG MUG: Life of an JC student(unfortunately) All i wanna hear are the same things from you 0 comments Wednesday, September 17, 2008 ( @ 8:52 PM ) Today was quite a redundant day, i was shagged out mentally by tuition this morning at 430am. So school wasn't as productive. Waterpolo tomorrow! can't wait... I shall let you know 0 comments Tuesday, September 16, 2008 ( @ 6:41 PM ) Show me how to love like You have loved me 0 comments Monday, September 15, 2008 ( @ 6:45 PM ) 8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 was the scripture text for today's chapel in school. Trust God to let the speaker talk about this eh? It's funny how things turn out. I er, i think i shall blog. Well, so, something stupid happened last night. Haha, it was so stupid it was almost funny. But i guess if you want something you gotta go take it? idk. But like, AGAPE. haha. I only hope that one person who reads this will be affected in a way that yeah, that i may be something else. I remember vaguely sometime ago, that someone said that it is better to have love and lost, than to not have loved at all. Just called a friend, but couldn't bring myself to say it. amazing, i'm for once lost for words... 0 comments Sunday, September 14, 2008 ( @ 10:31 PM ) Went there this morning cos mum was invited. Nice atmosphere there, very home-y, the singer was :O, and the songs were nice and very hearty. Sermon was okay i guess, but very old school, it felt more like sunday school for kinders though. Everyone was real friendly btw, and i saw an old friend from barker there, but i can't remember his name!!! argh, i just know hom as the basketballer who owned me during recess. Anw, the church congregation was relatively small... Well, all i can say is, God has big plans for that church... Small church, Big dreams. Yesterday was a good day, had tuition at 5am again.. i think my mind is getting used to it already... Went to school after lunch, met ianyang, played ball and frisbee. Then went to NLB with man to study... most productive session ever... Dinner was.. haha.. Tonight's dinner however... will post pics another time. ciao! 0 comments Friday, September 12, 2008 ( @ 9:29 AM ) 0 comments ( @ 12:38 AM ) Chiong-ed physics tuition today, had tuition from 745 till 11 plus... at BISHAN!!!! omg, it's zuper farrrrrrrrr. i was scared the bus service would stop running at that time... but thankfully it didn't. Anw, i was really zoned during tuition, cos polo on the morning was really draining, shouldn't have played so hard... Anw, had tuition and went home... I'm really shagged now, and i've done all i need to to, well... not all, but enough... i think i'll turn in soon........ 0 comments Wednesday, September 10, 2008 ( @ 10:35 PM ) not a day goes by that i dont think about you... not a day goes by that i dont text you... as the days go by i wonder... how long more till this passes... 0 comments Tuesday, September 09, 2008 ( @ 7:12 PM ) After school wasn't expecting anyone to bus back home with me, so I just left for the bus stop alone, was feeling kinda emo though but nvm. then the first 74 came, unairconditioned so i decided to wait for the next one, and at the same time maybe someone would sms. sure enough, a call came, and it was chow vp, i thought she was calling me to tio me for some reason or another relating to CO, but lo and behold it was *, so yeah, told her i was at the bus stop already and i'd wait. Then immediately after i put the phone down another call came, from chow vp again, and this time it was really her, and she really scolded me. So i had to walk back to school and "prove" myself. Went to bts with * to look for some stuff, but bts didn't have, went to fairprice finest at btp and found what i was looking for... during this time, 7 things happened/were discovered 1) * doesn't like nutella 2) * doesn't like lemon juice 3) * sweats easily 4) * DOES NOT jay-walk (even across 1 lane) 5) * tried to walk up the "down" escalator 6) * DOES NOT have a proper sense of direction (eg, which building has what) 7) * likes weird cereals 0 comments Monday, September 08, 2008 ( @ 8:39 PM )  If you havent tasted this, you ain't know spaghetti 0 comments ( @ 9:10 AM ) You are Superman
Click here to take the "Which Superhero are you?" quiz... 0 comments ( @ 8:55 AM ) and she said something at the end which was quite :O cos i didnt tell her something. i was fairly shocked, and couldn't sleep till about 3+ partly due to what she said and partly due to my grandma's snoring which recently has become increasingly erratic and the noises are more and more weird. Going to do work now... bye 0 comments Sunday, September 07, 2008 ( @ 2:12 PM ) I've had tuition everyday at 530am (maths), had physics twice on the same day (Friday), had chemistry remedial on Thursday, and studied practically everyday except yesterday (Saturday) which was spent resting (unintentional). Here's a list of people whom i've spent my holidays with -Family -1SB8 -Irvin (mugger) -Michael (mugger) -IanYang (mugger) -Amanda (wanted to mug but yeah...) -Sudhir (you got owned by me) -Ms Lee (the torturous math tutor) Thanks for being there during the holidays, and in particular someone who has spent everyday with me (though not physically but spiritually), God, who has kept me safe these past few days, but i guess the stress was eventually too much for me too handle and i succumbed to a sickness yesterday. And a very good friend, whom i believe talked to me everyday of the week. hAhA. I should get down to studying, but i still feel very tired... 0 comments ( @ 8:17 AM ) So here's how it started, as usual my alarm clock woke me up at 515 or so so that i could prepare for tuition. But somehow or another, i felt REALLY REALLY sick. It was terrible i tell you... The moment i got up i had to sit down just to ease the pain. When the teacher came, i felt nauseas and yeah, every now and then during tuition i asked if i could lie down, and so she let me, for 5 min breaks here and there, it was awful, during the 4th break or so, i went to puke in the toilet, it was like... yeah (explicit content) haha. And as you know, after vomiting you usually feel better, and i did! for 15 mins or so, before i started feeling like crap again, so the teacher gave me chance and cut the lesson short and let me go back to sleep, after about half an hour or so, i went to puke again, this time alot more came out, but that was the last time, about 4 bouts of puking and after that i felt MUCH better, cancelled a meeting with a friend that morning (SORRY) and decided not to go CO later cos i felt very weak. Dad says it's normal and i should rest so yeah. I did... So, my whole day was practically spent lying on my bed, recovering, though in the late afternoon i got this annoying headache, Mum gave me some panadols and i felt better soon after. Such an unproductive day!!!!! i better make it up somehow, but i still feel weak today. dang Oh and, the night before, i jogged to pandan valley and jogged back by the main road along sunset way. all in all i think it was about 15km or so. Almost died... 0 comments Thursday, September 04, 2008 ( @ 11:21 PM ) Today was a damn tiring day for me. Had maths tuition at 530am as usual, then went for chinese in school from 9-11.30, that basically killed me,i dont know why but it seems at any chinese period i get really tired. Then bummed around in school till about 1.30 with gerald, went to dover for lunch and headed back to school again for a nice nap. Chemistry was okay, i kinda got ionic equilibrium (we'll know soon enough). Going to mug like crazy tmr... anyone wanna join me? haha. Went to JB for a haircut after chemistry. IT WAS CRAZY, had to wait quite long for the blooming bus to make one totally unnecessary turn to nowhere, then on to JB. Went for a haircut at the usual place, the rambut is super funny! but i think i'll go back there for my haircuts from now on. Had dinner at some open air food street, apparently the now centrepoint carpark used to be very much like it. The food was okay i guess, dover hokkien mee still pwns all. The o-lua was very good though, not many hawkers use garlic in the o-lua but this one did, it was very nice. Had a good time with dad in JB. Thank God for family, Amen. Nothing will stop me, well, maybe some... 0 comments Wednesday, September 03, 2008 ( @ 7:41 AM ) Today (so far): Just finished tuition. Stoning now, i think i should do some physics work before going for tuition later. No CO for me later cos i'll be at home "mugging" =( stupid exams. Someone's gonna miss me todayyy. gonna mug now. cyas 0 comments Monday, September 01, 2008 ( @ 9:35 PM ) Tuition was extended today, so it was from like, 545 till about 830? Damn long. i was super shagged after that, but managed to complete definite integrals, the funny shapes one. Intended to study Chem straight after, but i had to do some CO stuff and tie up some loose ends on the cyber world. So when i was done with everything it was around 11 odd, and i was tired, so i took a nap. when i woke up it was about 130+ and ate some nonsense here and there. slept more, woke at abt 230? then did some chem till around 4 odd. took another nap and woke up at 6 plus and went jogging. Now after dinner and abit of TAXI i'm on the net again. Haha, i should really discipline myself to get down to studying. Hm, so something funny happened in the morning but i shan't say because like. urm yeah, some of you would know. or rather, only one of you would know. haha. Tmr is another stupid day for me, tuition at like 5 again. And maybe i'll go study with someone tmr. maybe... 0 comments |
