A Day At Kumon

2010-02-16T08:23:00.001-08:00

Little girl is asked to complete an exercise on a booklet. It's a page filled with grids; in some were sequential numbers, some had blanks and others had circles where the child was required to fill in the correct number

The task was to fill in the circles but the smart little girl went ahead and filled them all, even the blanks. A colleague happened to walk by and asked the girl to erase the filled in blanks

Colleague : Are these circles?

Girl: No

Colleague : Then rub them out ok?

* A little while later*

Girl walks up with the completed work for the aforementioned colleague for marking. The girl, instead of erasing the numbers, decided to circle them instead

Man.... if only i was tt awesome as a little kid

2010-01-31T06:10:00.001-08:00

Man... I can't believe I'm turning 18 in juz 3 days

And I now have 2 jobs... One teaching Kumon( yes I noe, wad kinda ridiculous role model is he.. n gd at math!??!? BAHAHAHA) and another selling phonecards.. Starting that on wed but its gonna b crazy long hours... 10-5

Then theres another job which is helping out at my aunty's lottery store which is paying squat atm.. 5 dollar scratchie a day? But tts coz i take it myself though.. Sucks coz i havent won much... scratched like.. 7 and only won 8 bucks...

And last night, Justine n I decided to park at maccas and walk to utopia in myaree so we could burn off some of the bblt we were about to drink. Little did we know we were about to help out some dude who ran out of petrol. His car died not far frm the carpark so we started pushing it... A bit more exercise than we intended. Empty sheep transporter thingos came ridiculously close and looked like we were gnna crash 4 a moment.. Scary stuffs..

N off to rest up 4 work tmr

Happenings...

2009-12-30T09:39:00.000-08:00

MIA super long so now... major events tt have happened over the past month??

LEAVERS '09

was super long ago. it was a nice sunny day when we set off to Dunsbourough, a 4 hr straight drive? but we stopped a few times along the way.

Vehicle of choice: My Nissan Pulsar

Crew: Joel Tan (driver)

Justine Wong (other driver)

Sandboarding at Lancelin with Youth

Basically we decided to get out of Perth as a youth group n so the wonderful youth leaders drove us down to Lancelin for some hot, sandy fun

About 1.5 hrs drive down and we were finally there.. Rented some boards frm a random shop in the tiny town of Lancelin slid for an hr. Super Tiring!!! Going down the hill was fun but the task of climbing a steep sandy hill with no solid ground = difficult..

Twas gd exercise though.. and coz of the many many hrs spent in the sun due to the Lancelin trip and Leavers trip, I got super duper dark...

Caroling with the Youth Group

So few days b4 Christmas, our church organsied a caroling session where we went out to knock on doors and play for the people living in Karawara.. We ended up joining with some of the young family people. So off we went with a big bunch of people. Musicians included Me with my Clara(guitar), Joel Chan with Ben's guitar and Sam with his violin. Played for 5 houses, which wasnt bad seeing as other groups played for 2 or 3... So the way back to the meeting place, we juz belted out Christmas tunes in the mosquito filled night..

Sometime in the holidays went to watch Avatar with Justine and Senny coz he was going off to Cambodia for a missions trip the next day. not 3d though so :( . graphics were really really pweety

Storyline super simple though... Dun wanna spoil anything for anyone. U can go spoil it for urself..

Then went to watch Sherlock Holmes last night wif Peter Li's group. Stupid msg ruined the movie halfway saying that the TER's out.. If any of u wondering, 87.45 so nothing wonderful. was hoping for at least a 90 TER though so sucks.. Seems like the entire world's getting 95 n above... only gd news to come out of this is that my Calc mark improved. Frm a 49 school mark till a 59 in the TEE. not bad eh?

Went to get a mouse with Justine before the movie. Her live squeak squeak mouse to clarify stuff. Not the kind u use to scroll the page and close this window.. Many names came up such as, PointandClick, Nezumi, Neckochan. But we decided to call it Elsie (LC). Coz its a mouse and LC= left click... heheehe. wanted to call the other Delsi, like... DLC for double left click but its now been changed to i dunno what..

Holidays have been going well.. Started with a to-do list on my whiteboard but its now all done :D stuff on there included reading all of the dragonball manga.. Tt's rite... all 520 chapters of it and also learning to play the bass.. Rather fun instrument to play actually..

Anyways, to clear up all this nonsense bout me going back. See, there's this paper on the wall which my dad printed for me specifying the dates i was meant to fly. 18th Dec was one date and seeing as all previous dates were correct, i found no reason to doubt it. Night b4 i was meant to fly, i was finding my ticket to see if i had bought the extra luggage thing to carry stuff for my aunt coz Tiger Airways is stupid and realised I HAD NO TICKET! turns out my dad only intended to book that flight but nvr actually got round to doing it. So now im here till the 8th of Jan.

Letter of doom has arrived and im reporting for NS on 5 March. I however have no idea whether i am coming back to Aus b4 then...

So that's the story of my life so far...

last school holiday ever... TIME TO PARTY IT UP! wif homework.....

2009-10-08T09:25:00.000-07:00

been ages since i've posted...

to think this is gonna be my last few months in school.. dun wanna end!!! dun wanna graduate! haha. some may think it's silly.. but meh, im weird like that. school life = easy life.. dun needa think much n get to have soooo many breaks..

back in singapore at the moment. how is it? good but hot n sweaty.. n the air here sucks.. seems more polluted than ever.. n since mum's here.. stuck studying too! haiz... all coz TEE's in a few months... more like.. 4 weeks or something silly like tt..

went to jurong library to study today. dunno why but cannot seem to concentrate. haha.. seems like i've gotten too used to studying with justine beside me :D keep wanting to do other stuff besides studying

wells... rossmoyne atmosphere has been bad recently, shocked with the sudden passing of minty. everyone's super emo. he was such a nice guy too! this sudden event made me reflect upon life too! makes me sound like some old man though.. haha.. oh how short life is.. like a blade of grass, we are here one day and gone the next. makes me glad that i've found a friends to help me through the tough times.

first week of holis has been gd i guess. went out to play mahjong alot. wasnt the overall loser at all so it was GD!:D. also went to watch UP! wif trieu, angela, justine and fei. then went over to justine's to settle leavers stuff.. UP! was nice.. pixar = good. leave me and my cutesified cartoons alone and u have one happy joel.

pictures of mahjong on facebook when we went over to alvin's to play mahjong, after which we played wif lanterns! woot! been super long since we played wif lanterns. haha.. was scared about some of the lanterns burning down the tree coz the candles in them were a bit wobbly.. cool thing was that we discovered the camera in the iphone's pretty good at night.

TRANSFORMed

2009-06-27T06:28:00.000-07:00

yoyo.. long time no post, hope everyone's well

juz got home from transformers... was SUPER DUPER AWESOME!!!! so very tempted to watch it again. haha. yup.. it was juz tt awesome. movie started at 4 but doors opened at 3.45. being typical asians, there was a line outside the door at bout 3.20ish when we arrived. my sister actually started queuing at 3. this is how far we'd go 4 a movie. haha... how horrible though, tt we'd show up 1 hr early 4 church but its acceptable to b late 4 church.

adrian's iphone came to the rescue when we got lost. silly me printed the wrong thing from google maps. keyed in the wrong address. haha.. so ended up in some residential area. if not we'd have been there bout 3.15!! n also being typical asians, many many seats were booked with random little things like bags n jackets. thank goodness no one tried to use tissues man. if not we'll juz blow it off. so ended up havin to sit at the side. not too bad though.

happy happy unexpected news: I GOT A C 4 CALC!! woot!!! its an asian fail but its still a pass 4 me! n to top it all off, i havent even passed a single test in sem 1! so blessed man!! prayer works. haha none of the tests were 50% n finally passed my first calc test for the whole yr this week by 1 mark!! :) happy now. a lot of near hits n near misses though. missed out on an A for econs by 1%, got C for calc and eng by 1%.

n also me likes the camaro very very much. I WANT A POWERFUL CAR!!! it doesnt have to transform or anything but juz something wif a bit more power than the nissan pulsar we have atm. dun even have to b a lambo. juz a gtr would b fine. haha.. something with like at least a 2.4L. even tts not a very lot.

lastly, we have the sad news of the death of michael jackson. no matter wad everyone thinks, he's still awesome to me. not tt i'll cry or anything but i believe he was juz a nice guy tt was taken advantage of. his music shall live on forever! who can forget beat it, or ABC? somehow, i juz had this thing in my mind where he was immortal. he would come close to death but b reconstructed or something. juz nvr dead. RIP micheal, ur music shall live on, not those trashy generic pop stuff nowadays.

holidays coming in bout a week! woo hoo! disney movie night! haha... going bak to singapore on the 13, any requests?

negative live, negative dead, positive live, positive dead

2009-06-19T23:11:00.000-07:00

juz came back frm 1 weekend. basically our church went out into the streets n knocked on doors to ask if they wanted help wif cleaning their gardens n driveways. first door we knocked on, a guy appeared at the door wif juz his underwear on. wad a way to start the day!! haha

went out thurs nite to go do exo sponsorship so a lot of "hi im from rossmoyne senior high n looking 4 sponsorship 4 an event". in return we got a lot of, " our company is located in the eastern states so we'll have to fax it to the head office there" which is short for " no we wun help ur cause" n more " sorry we dun need anymore staff at the moment" frm pple who cant really be bothered listening to us. juz coz we rock up in school uniform n a stack of papers in our hands dun mean we're looking for a job. had nandos n dreamy(yum) donuts 4 dinner coz we couldnt be bothered going far for dinner. think im the definition of a black hole. n also the fact tt sam had a curfew helped. think im the definition of a black hole. everyone else was really full... but i still wanted more.. :( also learnt how to jumpstart a car. n also about the miracle of facebook.

seeing as it was raining heavily in the morning so i decided to turn on my lights. juz i kinda forgot to turn it off when i reached school coz it was bright n sunny. so at the end of the day, went to car n tried to open boot but it wouldnt open. then realised nothing else works except the driver's door. so ran around school, found lots of teachers who couldnt help us coz their cars r expensive n have funky computer chips in them so if u use it to jump the car, it'll fry theirs. finally after bout 30 min or maybe even an hr, we managed to find mr ferrarra(duno how to spell but tt's how it sounds kk!! im not making it up) so he helped us wif his super old 1980s looking car :)

OLD CARS FTW!!

fast forward to the nxt day, which had lots of "i heard wad happened to ur car". silly sam put it on as her fb status. n now the radio doesnt work coz it screwed up. the display showed code at first. we put the wrong thing n now it ends up wif "err". its meant to go back to code but its nt doing it. anyone noe how to fix it? planning to disconnect the batt later to c if it restarts the system. any bright sparks got any bright ideas??

TRANSFORM!

2009-06-07T06:10:00.000-07:00

2009-05-26T04:46:00.000-07:00

stupid tariff n subsidy model... got it wrong liao!!! BLEH!! 2 marks gone...

dun feel like studying phy at ALL!!! hm.. maybe i'll go out 4 a milkshake later.. juz feel like going out n leaving my studies behind in a blazing trail of speeding tickets.. yes pple.. i m dangerous.. haha.. jkjk

i found i really do write really emo stories.. n i have no idea y..here's an example..

started my writing section in the exam nicely. birds flying outside, nice roses blooming in the front garden.. then later in the story it becomes some sick twisted neighbourhood where they deal drugs n violent families r everywhere.. so i had to go bak n change my intro.. the nice roses, well. i changed it to something like.. or at least they would've bloomed.

man im such an emo kid. time to slit my wrists wif paper cuts :) hehe

i think ima gonna get fat

2009-05-22T09:25:00.000-07:00

woot! 10/10 for econs DI!!! now the sucky thing is econs teacher xpects great things frm me.. damn....

likes how my cupboard is looking atm.. no, i din go crazy n build myself a new cupboard amidst these crazy exam times, i juz started writing my econs notes on it.. looks super sexy now.. all cover in writing n diagrams. :) i heart my cupboard. gonna b hard to clean though. only do it coz i like the sound of pencil on wood.. teehee.. feel like a little boy

spent the last 3 periods trying to ignore thillini, calling her the thin air while she stuffed random pens down my sleeve n steal my calc. grr..... then it juz became fun coz i 4got wad i was "angry" at her 4.. teehee.. im such a kid.. she however, decided to get my leg wet by jumping into the stupid dirty puddle of water n saying omg a ghost did it... coz i was still ignoring her

weather's been stupid these few days. crazy strong winds n hard rains which start n stop wheneverr they like. saw hail 4 the first time today!!! :) happy.. haha,.. i noe i noe.. omg u nvr saw hail b4... let's get past tt shall we? anways, crazy strong winds took down 2 trees n indirectly took down part of the fence yesterday. walked out of sci building n wouldnt b surprised to c fishes juz flopping around on the ground. seriously... it was tt wet. thank god i had the car today... getting stuck on the bus to go work in such weather would suck so hard, a vaccum will result

in the efforts of studying, i have thus consumed about

14 cups of coffee( juz studying, not even counting the morning cups)
5 cups of tea
a block of choc
bag of sweets
jar of almonds
4 cheeseburgers(i like my cheeseburgers k! dun judge me! haha.. wifout pickle)
3 strawberry milkshakes (i find it scary tt my brain food is something TT unhealthy)

n added bonus to eating all tt almonds, i have thus gained the ability to do tt funky thing where u throw a nut/malteser/round edible thing of choice into air n land in the mouth.. then u proceed to eat it? iono, im really bad at describing it. oh well. i was tt bored k! cant get it 100% but getting there.. haha

i really needa find some healthy snack. anyone got any suggestions? i need something to chew on.. like fruit. but it has to b a continual put in mouth thing. cant b like chew finish n tt's it.. OOO!!! grapes sounds like a gd idea! :) if u wanna c how much i studied after TEE(or any other exam actually) juz c how fat i become.

hmm.. i believe the stage where i start realising oh crap exams r here n i still dunno anything stage is bound to kick in soon... then 2 options, get really high n laugh all day(crazy side) or the emo side n sit there hug my knees n cry(emo side)

I WAN MY CHEESEBURGER!! sis coming bak wif cheeseburger soon i hope. then shalll go study(yes pple... its 1am n im still planning to study.. how sad) then sleep round 2/3? wake up at 6.50ish am, send sis to work. plan to come home at round 8 then go sleep again, wake up 11pm to send food down to sis.. man i got a packed day ahead of me..

student commandment no1

OMGG!!! EXAMS R IN A WEEK-ISH!!!

2009-05-13T08:57:00.000-07:00

well... it juz turned 12 n i juz finished my eng speech. whole world seems to b up wif me too! procrastination ftw! decided to come blog coz havent done it in ages...

stomp a few weeks ago was awesome.. blurs the line between music n noise n also... the creativity juices tt flow in their brain in ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! wouldnt mind watching it again when i can. seriously.

today morning was so interesting. hehe..

was walking along the yr 12 corridor n saw this locker. it had a lock on it but the SILLY PERSON!!! din lock it properly.. so my mind went "ooo..." n the curious me opened it. turns out it was sammy chieng's locker! silly girl din lock it properly. so an evil plan hatched in my mind n i decided to swap locks wif her, without her knowing of course. i was bored k!! so after tt went to library to study 4 a while coz it was early n no one was in school yet.

can anyone guess wad happens nxt?

well... librarian walked round with her doorbell thingo to chase us out of the place n so went to the corridor to open her locker. hehe.. apparently she was like "WTF!!! who's this idiot tt messed wif my locker??!?!" well.. it was funny.. anyways.. when i reached there.. a pair of bolt cutters was present.. along wif an open locker n like 5 pple gathered round it.

yup. sam juz cut it open. damn. i seriously tot she'd noe it was me!! obviously not.. ahaha.. well.. the kicker is tt it wasnt even my lock. i cut mine off last term coz i lost my key. senny was nice enough to lend me his spare lock n yup.. she cut up his lock. hehe.. still funny though.. feel bad 4 sen though.. will prob go get him a new one

then last period of the day, engineering. another "field trip" day. had to move all the wheelie chairs frm classroom to hall... so using our creative brains, we raced them n rolled them to the hall. hehe. so fun. this kinda daily exercise i really dun mind at all! :) prob the most fun we ever had in engineering? but then again, engineering's always fun.

recently passing all my tests too!! woot!! silly phy.. could've got 2 extra marks.. juz coz i got my significant figures wrong(put 5 instead of 3.. but more is better rite!!) n then got another mark taken off coz i was being silly n left my ans as 10^-7.5. juz by sticking tt in a calculator i would have got 1 extra mark. damn.

started studying 4 my exams n random tests too so its all gd. i noe.. in ur heads ur all going wad!! joel study? winter's gonna b heaps warm this yr/ hell's frozen over, wadeva u wanna say but yes i m studying! n im not lying. n realized jazzy stuff like olivia ong n andy mckee, both gd study music :)

i think my bird cant fly anymore

2009-04-25T10:19:00.000-07:00

its sat nite. im stuck at home n tv in singapore sucks. nothing to watch at all. well.. i acutally went to run but not enough. haha. i wanna run more!!! had to come home 4 dinner. well recap of the week. surprisingly, i actually did go study k. i aint lying.

monday

morning landed in sing n in afternoon went out to meet yao at the queensway library coz he returning books. coz i had nothing else to do i went to meet him. then later decided to wait 4 zheng yu to go watch movie. well.. the weirdest grp ever? i believe i found it. 3 guys. 1 chick flick. tts rite.. 3 guys went to watch 17 again!(wooo!!! all the ladies plz rise 4 zac efron!!!) haha. was a decent film i guess. silly thing was tt sooooo few guys in the cinema. poor souls prob got dragged there by their girlfriends

wednesday

went out to meet joesphine. was meant to go eat icecream one but she couldnt make up her mind so we ended up going to eat subway. more she was eating subway. finally had her "food ban" lifted n now happily eating wadeva rubbish comes her way. n to pay 4 it, shes now sick.

fri

went sakae sushi wif yao n nicole. silly girl kept changing the time n in the end we ended up having no time to eat. haha.. yao knows me a bit too well.. we were meant to meet at 2.20 but knowing i'd b late, he left his house at 2.20. went down to orchard to dunno do wad but in the end went to sakae sushi to eat.

3 of us ended up eating bout 92 bucks worth of food. soo much we ended up not being able to walk. thanks to the wonderful nicole who was a bit too xcited n a bit too trigger happy n ended up ordering too much food. had to force ourselves(mainly yao n i) to swallow down the food. seriously, i tot i was gonna throw up. seems like no matter who i go out n eat wif, i end up being the rubbish bin. everything nicole ordered i had to eat half of it. shes nvr gonna b allowed to sit wif the mouse anymore

i have to admit though, the mouse was pretty cute. then i stupidly commented " i think my bird is too fat to fly", not realising the hidden undertone. i was referring to my shirt pple! dun think tt wrong!

c!! its a fat bird strapped to a rocket.

us enjoying our mochi :) peach flavoured i think

prob gonna send bro to camp tmr. hope i survive singapore traffic. haha. wonder which church im gonna go tmr. city harvest again maybe?

most days start after 1pm. n end round 2 am.
the smell of food fills the room as u wake to smell mum's cooking
drawn by the smell of the food, u sleepily drop out of bed n follow it..yum
its been too long since i ate mum's cooking :)

so far holidays have been nice to me.. xcept the financial side of things. no money sia! broke. oh well. i guess this means i have to stay home study then. haha! at least i finish 1 misc ex in calc. then going bak to singapore tmr!!! woot.. more food.. but cannot run liao.. went running the other day n legs decided to stage a protest now. yes pple.. i m unfit.. i noe.

been playing poker a bit the past few days n also slap snap, which i apparently "broke" nicole's hand.. i think she's scared of me now. according to sam, it was swollen 4 5 days. but.. but.. it wasnt my fault! she called me silly things.. :(

went to the tony antony thing on easter fri n wasnt as crowded as i xpected. bought his book n got my first celebrity autograph! feel like some fangirl now.. oh dear..

then he came to preach at our church on sun. ushering on that day wasnt funny man. packed out the entire hall n had to make pple sit on the aisles. so paiseh.. but still it was gd! so many in church is always a gd thing.

i wanna watch fast n furious! any singapore peeps wanna watch wif me? but gotta pay adult fare in singapore.. which would suck! hope i can drive there.. but i scared.. n yes i do get scared.

oh well.. its 4.. theres no anime to watch or manga to read therefore i shall go study. i really should start studying.. even sis is now nagging at me which is not cool.. if u wanna noe how much i study, watch how fat i get.. i tend to always snack on something when i study. hehe. which means i dun study at all in school.

spend the first few nights of the holidays up reading books. haha.. tuesdays wif morrie, ranger's apprentice( i noe its childish but meh. its still something) n then taming the tiger(tony antony's life story)

the above tots r wadeva comes to mind n r not at all in the correct order.
this is wad holidays r meant to b like :) total nonsense n doing wadeva comes to ur mind. n now i feel like going running in the rain.. always wanted to but nvr did.. always think tt it'll feel heaps refreshing. or jump in puddles even though it hasnt rained. its going to though. its meant to... maybe shall roll around on the carpet to satisfy myself.. WEE!!!

toodles..

AZU I LOVE U!!!!!!! seriously man... tt shiny silver thing deserves a great big hug if possible... i think im gonna give her a wash on sun...

due to AZU, i could leave school to go maccas wif bel n ken coz i 4got i had a period 0.

day went like this...

went to school early so i could leave stuff in locker. happy tt i got to school on time.. then bell went n i slowly went to clas... only to find the classroom EMPTY!! its like there was a massive evacuation. so went to the staff room to find teacher standing there talking to his colleague then it hit me... I HAD A PERIOD OFF!!! OMGG!!!

so roamed the school n found bel n ken in the study room. then ken suggested go mac coz he hungry so off we went... zoooomm.....

faith is going into a period zero without studying b4 hand n noeing u'll do well
joy is sitting on a tiger airways plane n having 3 seats to urself
scary is sleeping on the plane then dreaming tt it crashes
lucky is having all ur checkin luggage be the first to come out
happiness is knowing ur surrounded by friends that care
love is putting on a brave face n still worrying bout others when ur in pain
blessed is being there with ur grandma in her last moments when u werent meant 2 b in the first place

recap n random tots...

2009-03-08T07:36:00.000-07:00

might b a gd idea to start studying... but its 11.30 so meh!! shall keep ling company online then :)

sun/today
went gardening at ben's house again, got paid n got free dinner (lasangia?? lasengnia?? however u spell it n also mash potato) woot! then finally got home at a early time of 10 pm to iron my shirt. i noe. i lead a sad life. haha

sat
had to go work. so sad i noe! basically sat there n rot man! seriously. its a gd life though. a lil bit bout my job. i sit in this square see through box with wadeva u brought in there to entertain urself wif. if u got stuck in there wif nothing, then thumbs r all u got for 4 glorious hours of entertainment. there's only 1 till in tt box btw, which means 1 person manning the till. basically got paid round 50 bucks to sit there coz they wanted 2 pple to man the till at the hockey stadium coz they tot it'd b busy. haha.. poor pple. so my aunt settled the till while i sat there studying calc. muahahaha!! then whenever i was hungry or wadeva juz drive out n buy food :) got bak round 8 then went out to run n therefore got scolded

fri
work at the hockey stadium again!! the world works like this... i finish school at 3.30. somehow, i had to rush down to there at 4. meh.. aunty was there so she kinda covered 4 me while i sent ling, sen n alvin home first then went to buy food. so again sat there to rot while studying 4 calc even though i finished school an hr ago. sad life again. finished work round 9 then rushed down to cell! my wonderful wonderful cell..

yeh.. the rest of the week wasnt very exciting coz it bascially consisted of an english test essay thingo every single day. which i kinda screwed up. yup! all 3 of them im pretty sure i screwed up. had to write a story at home as part of this module so tt's posted up at the wispywriting blog. again, being the stupid procrastinator tt i m, rushed it at 10 at night wif another assignment due 4 engineering the same day. n b4 i even had a long weekend to do. however, during the long weekend, reading manga seemed way way way more important though so haha... u can guess the rest of the story

random tots
hopefully this week shall turn out gd.. have excursion to adventure world ON FRI!! WOOT!! i think?? either fri or thurs... but the downside is i got a calc period 0 b4 the excursion. everyone'll prob rock up in boardies i guess. then there's econs essay somewhere during the week which i'll prob have to start studying 4. either tt or pray really hard but studying might b a gd option AS WELL AS praying hard. haha. cant leave all the hard work to god can we.

OOO!! big news everyone!! found out i aint orange in my license coz of me being me.. its more coz of the dumb cam at the licensing centre coz nelson, who got it at the same centre, is orange in his pic too!!! sad thing is i think coz since im darker, i seem more orange. had someone look at the pic n go wtf!?!?! who's this carrot?? prob could pass off as one if i dyed my hair green

anyways, in case u din noe, i m currently going out wif someone in yr 10 n her name's ling ling frm church :) at least im in an equally yoked relationship?

p.s hmm... im thinking i should change the colour... red seems a bit difficult to read aint it? wad do u think?

2009-03-02T04:41:00.000-08:00

crap...
rushing a short story at 9.30 with another uncompleted assignment due tmr might not b the greatest idea in the world... this aint gonna turn out pretty. but its k... by the grace of god, all shall turn out fine :)

multiply numerators together, then multiply denominators. top then bottom

recap on wad's been happening

sun: went to benedix's house to help him garden. saw many strange creatures n alvin jumped many many times. like everytime he saw some weird animal he jumped. then realized evelyn had a side i nvr knew existed. hahah.. caught some weird looking lizard which alvin said was a snake(so obviously wasnt coz no scales n stuff). she kept saynig kill it n took an axe to REPEATEDLY chop the thing.. was a bit confused n she kept saying "animals r very smart, they always want to trick u one!! they pretend they die liao then later they run away!)

mon: hmmm... monday?? seemed so far away. cant really rmb wad happened on mon. nothing much i think??

tues: unite in the early morn then at the end of school, found out ling's stuff got stolen :( money n the necklace gone. N WE GOT OUR LEAVER'S JUMPER!! WOOT!! dun really like it though.. weird material. polyester n cotton rather than the fluffy 100% cotton. we all tot it was corrick's fault 4 ordering the wrong thing but apparently,according to councillor belinda, it's the jumper maker's fk up coz they dunno did wad. dun like it coz its so plain too :( in case anyone's still wondering, traceur's the name on the back

wed/today: doing a short short short post coz needa go study soon. darn manga. so addicting. found out tt yr 12s r indeed stupid. having epws today n in both epws we cant use calculators. so many of us stressing out bout multiplying fractions n factorising quadratics,which is basically yr 9 stuff.. unlucky pple had both calc n applic epws today. unluckyier pple had both epw n phy n chem experiments to do! haha.. spent double phy twirling a rubber stopper over our heads to calculate centrifugal force 4 some experiment. im pretty sure we entertained the class tt we were standing outside seeing a bunch of yr12s hitting their head wif a rubber stopper coz they werent very alert. messed up my applic epw big time too. damnit.. couldnt even get 1 question rite!! i feel so dumb coz EVEN james mcquade got 2 questions! i feel the asianess leaving me.
sad day though. rained the entire day. ashan found a hole in his 2 day old leavers jumper which made him pissed 4 a while.

couldve been heaps longer but had to condense it. muz go study now. muz..... leave.... com....

P'S r here!!

2009-02-18T02:54:00.000-08:00

WOO HOO!!!
happy bit: driver's license is finally here.
sad bit: dun like the pic on it
happy bit: ???
sad bit: econs DI tmr. its 8.45 n i still havent started studying 4 it

RAWR

2009-02-12T23:27:00.000-08:00

ARGGHH!!!! ur old enough to understand tt magic little pixies do NOT exist. they dun MAGICALLY appear juz to clean up ur shit. dun juz pile everything up juz to turn ur bak n discover tt they clean themselves. magic rule of disney does not apply in reality! tt also dun mean u can juz take everything n throw it into a bucket of water n they will clean themselves. u'll juz make the other dishes oily n majorly harder to clean!! something which u might nvr understand

crap i have blisters on my feet

2009-02-11T03:14:00.000-08:00

woot!! 4 the first time since school started, i have come bak wif NO HOMEWORK AT ALL!!! yayers!! tt kinda xplains y i can sit here n blog. still gotta use this time to revise later though but keyword being LATER

funny incident happened recently. n i feel quite dumb 4 it.
we kinda have a system in place at home where my sis will msg me wad she wans me to take out to defrost when i get home so once she gets home, she can start cooking then we can eat, meaning dun need wait 4 thingo to defrost. so she cooks n i'll clean up.

one fine day, she decided to txt me saying " can u plz defrost the stuff n throw in some carrot". in the morning of aforementioned day, she told me wad to defrost already so was juz a friendly reminder. so i tot " yups. can do". i think it was meant to b some bamboo roll thingo n fishballs. so took them out n threw them into some basin of water. seeing as she said "throw in some carrot", i put the entire bag into the water too, all the while thinking wtf? y would u have to defrost carrots? but to avoid delay i put them in since wad harm can b done rite??

when she came home tt day she too went WTF?!!? more because she tot i would put the carrot into the soup. a soup tt i din notice was sitting in the pressure cooker. like seriously, the msg said throw in so put in n defrost lor. ended up having to cook the entire bag of carrot coz it was wet. have no idea y. felt like a bunny by the end of the day. was a pretty funny incident 4 me.

this happened quite a few times. not the throwing in carrots but more of my stupidity in the kitchen. this is y im gonna have a wife tt can cook. i wun mind cleaning up but might b easier if she cooked. less mess n will definately taste way way better

final yr: START!

2009-02-03T23:31:00.000-08:00

as u noe, school started on the 4th feb. havent been able to blog since school started though. 2 days of not using the com at all!! haha. not some really mega big achievement but meh

school's decent i guess? got a reallllllllllyyyyyyyy boring sci teacher wif a monotone, the same crappy math teacher i got last yr n the rest r fine. engineering's become more interesting this yr. iono y. maybe better teacher? spent 1 entire period doing 0 n 1s due to the stupid truth table. in eng i finally dun of mr hann or mr cuffley so i would b able to pass this yr! :) sad thing is tt she said we'd prob need at least 67% to avoid getting scaled down to a fail. :( TTS A MASSIVE SCALE DOWN!!! like 17%?? so if u get 60 u prob fail. WTF!! shall aim 4 a B for both math this sem. its possible. seeing as i juz passed my gnt last yr, juz bout 10/20 marks to a B. highly achieveable i would say. not like im aiming 4 an A. prob could if i put lots n lots of effort but we shall c.

made a decision to at least START studying or doing my hw. going well so far but things might change once we hit end of term 1. table's gonna b messy. on 2nd tot, it already is. been bringing books bak to do hw too so bag's nvr been this heavy ever since i left singapore. even in yr 11 i din bring books bak to do work. jz brought wadeva i needed 4 first 2 periods the nxt day. now its first 2 N wadeva work tt needs to b done, which is quite a bit.

school got funky new electronic whiteboards. juz 2 rms have it though. luckily im in 1 of the 2. woot! :) they basically run like a normal computer when u project it onto the whiteboard but instead of using a keyboard, u use this special marker to do wadeva u wan. its basically touchscreen. so u can draw stickmen or juz b serious n do math. saves time frm wiping the board clean everytime u start a new question

new computer admin means tt computer stuff would prob b fixed way way faster. school also has this new fencing round the bak of the school so it looks more like a prison. haiz. at least they brought it in while we were STILL in school. not juz after we leave which seems to always b the case.

n it turns out i M a genius. ended up not buying any books yet. muahahaha!!! n aus pple, dun ever ever ever buy ur stationary n random junk frm woolridges(not tt u should ever buy books again 4 high school), they rip u off hard. they were selling a book for 35 bucks n u could find the exact same book, albeit wif a diff cover, 4 juz 19.40. massive price diff no?

thought: does the grass always look greener when ur in ur final yr or isit juz me? hmm... they do say grass looks greener on the other side but do they mean it literally??

oh boy, i m def in a pickle now

2009-02-01T06:00:00.000-08:00

time: 11pm, date: 1 Feb
school starts: 2 feb

hmm.. school starts in less than 12 hrs
hmm.. started packing my bag n guess wad! i juz realized i only have books 4 3 subs!
1 of them i KNEW i din have coz i nvr bothered buying it. which leaves 2 subs
something tells me i'm PROB going to school wifout those books

DAMNIT!!

oh well.. let's look on the brightside yeh?
Firstly n most importantly, at least i go to school wif a light bag :) tt's always a +.
Secondly..... hmm..... doubt there's a secondly. even my bs-ing skills cant make up a second excuse. i think im losing my skills!!!! :(

most annoying thing bout it would prob b the going to the bookstore after school. seeing as i cant be bothered to take the bus, i'll prob walk in the >35 degree heat tmr. then walk another 20 min home

bright side again: i'll get a nice tan? n prob skin cancer n all tt nasties but no one bothers bout tt do we

as they say, learn frm history. n history/past experience says that we prob wun use our eng txtbook much. but then again, both my eng teachers sucked. then engineering, prob not use the book too. din touch it at all last yr. then econ, teacher tt's highly probable to teach econ nxt yr's nice enough to let me off

oh well... all these r juz EDUCATED guesses. we shall c if im educated enough or do i really actually positively need to study this final yr. till then! tata

p.s some of u might say im an optimist. 2 u i say, at least i aint a pessimist. im juz a entire cup full kinda guy. even if its empty, i'll juz say its full of air. hehe

recap over the past few days

2009-01-24T07:06:00.000-08:00

TODAY(24 Jan 2009)
went to parkour wif the pksg guys. first proper jam i've been to in sing n i realized how unfit i m. shall go run more. haha. travelled all the way to tampines to train. train ride wasnt as bad i as i though it would b coz of the book. 40 min zoom by quite fast. improved on rolling technique but still butt's quite bruised. seen many more places to train in sing but all so far!!! haizz.... but best news is i found a guy tt stays in clementi! woot! so now i dun need to train alone! :)

YESTERDAY

wad the harry potter!!!!

hmm......

went over to qi yao's house to destroy his house wif blue hairspray. tt was secondary objective. primary objective was basically to take photos. ended wif 200+ of them. couldnt really b bothered posting more than the few tt i already have. was pretty fun though. n we all realized we were quite unfit.

DAY B4 YESTERDAY
went out wif qiyao n nicole to watch inkheart. pretty gd i muz say. interesting idea. then went down to raffles place n found my cousin working in top man. then turn around n found some friend frm sec school working there too! coincidence much? then went down to bras brahsa to stamp cole's warranty thingo 4 her new cam. then walked round more n went home.

i love goldfish

2009-01-06T00:42:00.000-08:00

so wads new in the musical world of joel? well, im stuck again to david choi covers. some of these include JAILHOUSE ROCK!! n also gimme more by britney spears. hehe

wanna juz keep looping this song!! juz sounds so very happy

n then theres THIS!! a really nonsense song but still so happy n catchy to me. juz love the voice

2009-01-03T06:54:00.000-08:00

sounds crazy but im already dreading to go bak to school. 20+ days n im already dreading it but as usual, theres the bit of me tt says i wanna go bak.

things to look 4ward in this yr include being able to have my FULL license n being able to drive alone. assuming i can get the car tt is. then theres the no more school bit. sounds tempting but i dun wanna leave school though. dunno y. maybe its the massive deep dark void tt's after high school life. wonder wad tts gonna b like. seems too early to comtemplate n dwell on this though. oh well. delete n discard!! :)

memories

2008-12-29T09:14:00.000-08:00

as some of u might noe, i went down to kl recently wif alvin to attend a wedding then down to klcc area to roam around on our own. din feel as dangerous as i wouldve imagined though
felt like we've been away 4 a long long time but its really juz been 4 days. maybe coz of the travelling everywhere. been a gd experience. 4 the 1st time, i realized tt there r taxis in the world which do not have a meter n kl taxis r dodgy. 1 cab had a non-functioning rev counter, it was juz stuck tween 3 and 4 n not moving. the first cab we took when we arrived in kl was so underpowered tt it crawled up a not so steep hill. overall a gd trip. wanna do tt again!!!

n now 4 some pictures

of course the first pic has to b of the bride n groom, or as vally put it, broom

the youth grp present. ones in the center r the broom

me being REALLY bored waiting 4 alvin in the hotel room so started fooling around wif the camera

my bus bak. LOOK AT THE SPACE I HAVE!! came bak wif luxury bus company n went there wif aeroline. aeroline was really awesome. had food, tv, toilet n the chairs were so comfortable. had pple serving u n stuff. really was like an aeroplane but better coz of the legspace. the one in the pic's luxury though. din get a pic of aeroline

christmas in singapore

2008-12-21T03:31:00.000-08:00

this being the festive season, christmas trees r up at most major shopping centers. my mission this christmas is to seek n document them 4 my grandma who's not able to get out of the house anymore due to her sickness. havent gotten many so far but will get the ones at orchard soon enough. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

far shot of the tree at vivo. couldnt really be bothered to take a closer pic. will do it some other night though.

FEEL DA FURY

2008-12-15T00:51:00.000-08:00

RAWR!!!! ANNOYED!! who went to destroy my wonderfully, ultimately clean kitchen?!?!? the kitchen which i cleaned YESTERDAY!!! rawr! 4 some reason, tt person dunno how to crack an egg, resulting in egg shells on the floor. i dun even how u can crack an egg n have tt many egg shells on the floor. use the counter table. tt's wad its 4.

4 another some reason, dunno wad it(coz dunno whether he/she) went to do something tt attracted a bottle load of ants to the counter table.

do not leave sweet things on the table. they too help attract ants. the ant pile wasnt
congregating at the cup but still, dun do it. tis written under clause 6 section 5 of the agreement in using the kitchen :"thou shalt not leave sweet things on the kitchen table"

finally, someone destroyed the stove too. due to the greasyness of the stove, ITS FLICKING HARD TO CLEAN! so now, when i come bak frm holis, i prob have to clean the whole darn house again. hmm.. maybe i wun. y do i even bother?

if it seems like i gone mad, i have. its juz really really really annoying to have someone dirty the kitchen until it seems like u nvr clean it in the first place. RAWR!

n if there is a bright side to this, it will b that the rest of the house is still clean. this is the side i shall TRY to focus on.

spring cleaning... in summer

2008-12-13T06:12:00.000-08:00

RAWR!!! MISSED OUT AN A BY 1 MARK 4 ENG!! annoyed

going bak to singapore on mon!! woot! in an effort to have less to clean when i return, i did the unthinkable n finally cleaned the house! vaccumed at least.. gonna mop the toilets n kitchen tmr..

as a result of my "spring" cleaning, my room is officially un-pigstyed. table is finally clean of mess frm the exam period. coz i use pencils exclusively to write, table has random streaks of lead on it.

i think i should stop using pencils tt much.. they gimme more stuff to clean. finally more or less organised my shelf too.

BEFORE

AFTER

lots of diff eh!! cleaning is nice.. makes u feel like u accomplished something. 4 the girls, apparently it burns calories too! so go mop the floor! haha

excitement!!

2008-12-12T07:10:00.000-08:00

is excited bout my roadtrip down to kl atm. not exactly roadtrip la but still.. wandering round kl wif alvin. wonder wads gonna happen. think im gonna have to do the navigation though. hehe.

after 3 yrs wif him, im still very puzzled bout how the malaysian dunno how to speak malay. i cant. my numbers only go up to 5 n i noe kiri kanan n how to stop. dun really think tt's gonna help me there. if theres absolutely 1 word which u noe. i think it would have to be.... TANDAS!! but then again there r probably pictures to see.

exam results came today. looking at the comments, i think my geometry n trigonometry teacher dun like me very much. haha

got 4Bs n 2Cs. but then i dun have any cheating subs like cooking! i guess engineering can b counted as a cheating sub in an attempt to make myself sound intelligent, its realllyyyyy difficult. based on the results, i can conclude that math is very obviously not my strong subject seeing as the 2Cs i got were 4 none other than math. not gonna drop though! shall perservere n march on n see wad happens nxt yr. can always juz drop them anyway

after all that, im juz glad there aint no Ds. hope i nvr have to see any Ds.

RESULTS!

2008-12-05T00:23:00.000-08:00

WOO HOO!!! woke up n went down to school today juz to get my exam results n today is a gd day. the fact tt it's a sunny day wif little clouds help too!

so far i've got eng : 71
phy: 69
intro: 106 out of 150

so far so gd. every other teacher was mia. benco's sick, engineering was missing n o'neill being typical o'neill was away again

hope ur results r even better than mine. even if they arent, try harder nxt yr

now to dread receiving gnt. hope i do well. god is good! even though din study much, results r decent.

my day out

2008-12-02T08:08:00.001-08:00

if u cant be bothered reading the post, juz skip to end 4 pics. 4 more find alvin's facebook. we basically went out iceskating, bubbletea n basketball. cant be bothered putting all though. takes too much time n some photos should juz generally nvr see this blog. someone might say something. BUT IT WASNT ME!!

2 days ago we went a group of us went iceskating. was a ton of fun wif us traveling to cockburn(pronounced co-burn. y cant things b pronounced the way they r!?!). being the first time in ages tt i woke up at 7+ in the morning, was difficult waking. sleeping at 2 or 3 the night b4 didnt help at all. then almost missed the bus only coz i was still busy waiting 4 coffee to cool down, to a point where i decided fk it n poured it in my bottle. the rest of the day my water tasted like coffee. as much as i love coffee, it was DISGUSTING!!! diluted coffee ranks below cold coffee. i prefer it lukewarm n aromatic thank u very much

after we met the first thing tt happened was we got on the train wifout 3 pple. when we realised, we obviously got off the train n caught the nxt one. lucky the train din start moving. then later we caught the bus only to find out NO ONE knew where we had to drop. dun worry! google earth n 3G came to the rescue. stupidly enough the bus stop was totally different to the one on the iphone. normally i would juz blame this all on the iphone juz to piss adrian off. finally got to coburn ice arena bout 1 hr off schedule. perfect planning. haha skated 4 quite a while n some pple stopped coz the skates were causing them some pain. games of tag were run wif not much success until the 3rd time we tried. skated for a few hrs(like 4?) then we decided to go down to school to play basketball.

then someone had the bright idea of going to the city to get BUBBLETEA! at this point the singaporeans would b going wtf?!? tt's so old. who even drinks it nowadays. so day ended wif us in school playing basketball till 5. playing basketball in jeans is not fun at all. leg gets so hot. enough chat, let the pictures begin. all at the ice skating place though. hehe. long post so i dun have to post in a long long long while.

most of the pple. most willo kids were missing

look look!! ITS ICE!!

rossy gang

my stalker n i

ok guys! listen up! team A assault the hill frm the front while teams B n C flank the enemy. everyone clear? RAWR!

us being healthy

reminds me of something frm a movie. winter sonata perhaps? hmm.. maybe coz of the ice n the jackets

will i die?!?

2008-12-01T09:54:00.000-08:00

has anyone here ever eaten a piece of mouldy bread?

its 2am. being the typical me, i got a bit hungry so i crawled out of bed to go kitchen n get food. seeing as the bread was expiring today, i quickly took 1 slice to eat. still stand there so happy wor, spread nutella n eat coz i rmb last time mum said bread expire 1 day still can eat one wad. so eat lor.

after i finish the entire slice, dunno y but i looked into the packet n saw the friggin bread going mouldy. there was a spot of mould on the bread. so i tot. woah die!! wad would happen if i eat mouldy bread?!?! i tot will get food poisoning or something sia but DW! we live in a high tech world so went to google " wad happens if you eat mouldy food". turns out i was wrong. nothing much happens. maybe if u suay u get diarreogh but otherwise u should be fine! woohoo! i get to live!!

but still.. if in a few days i turn up dead, u noe wad killed me. unless it's something really obvious like a knife sticking out of my stomach

2008-11-22T06:40:00.000-08:00

i think god has a purpose for creating everything. he created our fingers 4 us to grip things n chickens 4 us to eat. n i think he created flies n crows juz to annoy the heck out of us in the exams.

in other news, i have a new bedside buddy.

goes to show i do have a soft side eh? haha

n no i din buy it. though not hallmark cute, still luv it

i got my intro exam mark bak. 106 out of 150. though not the highest mark ever(actually is the lowest mark i've heard), who cares, i passed. woot! everything else is still a blur. dun think i ever wanna get it back. now for 2 months of holidays.

2008-11-14T07:47:00.000-08:00

somehow i can only study at night n tt's not gd!! theres gd tv on at night!!

RECENT HAPPENINGS

2008-11-08T08:35:00.000-08:00

I FINALLY GOT L PHASE 2! now juz to wait 4 when i come back then can go get my Ps. uber awesome. muahaha. look out world coz it juz got a whole lot more dangerous!! the war 4 the car has officially begun. battlelines have been drawn, face paint painted and swords r sharpened

EXAMS R HERE!! yet im still not stressed. damnit!! i wan the adrenalin pumping thru my veins. maybe i should juz not study then go in 4 the exam. i bet adrenalin would be pumping quite a bit. either tt or juz plain desperation.

finished eng exam on fri. went in, sat down, looked at the paper n decided " i can do this!"
walked out the door " i could not do tt" sad sia. wad was i doing 4 3hrs in tt room?!?! then went home n found my past exam paper frm sem 1 then realized " oh dear, i think im gonna fail this" sem1's was way better though i din noe wad i was doing

church was on fri. now prefer it on the sun though mainly coz then i get more time, dun ask why. normally i would prefer fri though. then sun's freed up to go train at garbo. i wan to feel the sun on my skin, not heat frm a lightbulb!

my bag of 4 yrs has finally zipped its last. it has now gone to be wif its maker(probably some dude in china). he has been a dear friend n a bearer of many a books. frm sec 1 history to yr 11 phy, he has seen more wisdom than i( mostly coz i dun read my books). he has been a recipient of many physical traumas n 4 its sheer tenacity i applaude him. most of u noe him as my bag, i noe him as.... my bag till 3 secs ago i named him zagis. cant bear to throw him away. wad can i say? im a sentimental guy
dear zagis, u shall be sorely missed.

spent most of today at aunty's shop setting up her wireless network, came home then watched tv a bit till sis came back n chased me to my room to study. i think she's more nervous bout this than i m.

preparation 4 phy is mostly done coz notes r all in calc already.

10 more days till it exams end, 11 more days till my yr11 world ends.

redbull air race

2008-11-02T05:04:00.000-08:00

the sun was shining, planes were flying and flies were abuzzing. yes, i went to the redbull airrace. was pretty gd. the planes were beautiful n so small though. but then again, they had to be small to be agile so yeh. there was 1 particular one i liked. had brietling(prob spelled wrong) on its wing n was yellow n black, like a hornet. dunno the pilot though
at the end of the thing after the race had a wonderful stunt show thingo. 6 planes flying in formation, was a pretty gd show they put up.

love the pilots who show off after their lap. nt many of those though

glad to report fun was had by all

wad plant?? a desal plant!!

2008-10-30T05:50:00.000-07:00

the sun was out bright n sunny, yr 11s gathered on the yr 12 lawn to show off their rusty n old solar desal plants.. someone's idea of a desal plant involved magnifying glasses and cloth.. basic physics tells us

magnifying glass + cloth + sun = NOT GD!!

he left it in the sun 4 a bit n then realized tt his cloth CAUGHT FIRE!!

other weird happenings included our solar desal plant collecting 1 drop of water, even though we din put water in it to test it due to lack of time

got marked by mr lampard n he gave us 4.5 out of 10 but we protested. stupidly hard marker, he was the only one tt was marking wif a marking key. in the end, then later recess, someone came to tell me tt our score was raised!! WOOT!!

frm a low 4.5 to a 7!! how big a gap is tt!?! shows the inconsistency. thank god they marked it again.. gd waste of 2 periods though. if only they made it the original 5 periods. haizz.. guess u cant always get wad u wan

2008-10-29T07:53:00.000-07:00

recently was part of an interesting conversation.. poor guy says to 2 sisters saying how they r getting to look more alike 1 another.. we shall call him person A, 1st sister person B n 2nd sister person C

Person A: ooh.. u 2 r getting more alike each other, either u (person B) is putting on weight, or u (person C) is losing weight

poor person A got whacked by person C juz coz he said she was losing weight. Person B, though was gaining weight, was quite happy coz she thinks she's too skinny.

3 guys standing there.. din understand at all.. until...

Person C: U say i last time fat isit?? need to lose weight isit??

3 guys then understood.. n here we were thinking Person A so nice give compliment n still gets hit.. 6 pple there, 3 guys 3 girls, 3 tot compliment, other 3 tot insult.. haizz.. the diff tween guys n girls.. we'll nvr understand each other..

oops

the rest din even get off 5 sec b4 me n he closed the door. yelled frm the back to ask him to open door but knn he dun wan open door!! still drive off.. so walk up to the front n ask him open. still sitting in the bus lane coz got cars in the nxt lane n so he cant get out.. reach down there n then he pulls out of the lane n i asked him y he din let me off.. idiot says coz i wasnt at the door.. i so was at the door.. n they say us asians have bad eyesight. i beg to pardon.

so then he drops me at the nxt bus stop which was bout a 2/3 min walk away. not tt im too lazy to do tt but still!!

WTF?!?! late n still can be so annoying.. service industry has now gone down the toilet.. RAWR!!!!!!!

found this pic in some store at plaza sing.. cool beans eh??

man.. today's physics test was bad... very bad... this might be due to the fact tt i spent 30 min juz fluffing around b4 sitting down n really studying... this 30 min was spent wisely going in n out of my room taking random thingos like my waterbottle, the ipod speaker, the watch n food, then refilling my bottle over n over again..

then hunkered down to a hardcore study session coz it was 10+ n i was gonna sleep at 11.. only to be distracted by the light in front of me.. n my phone, which i used to take pics.. haha this was
wad i was up to...

then went.. oh no!!! 11!!! kkz.. shall study 30 more min then go sleep.. will be worse if i cannot wake up or juz fall asleep in the classroom later so i studied bout another 15 min... then came across random pics i drew in class..

singapore again

2008-10-01T09:15:00.000-07:00

managed to quite a fw things today.. went to watch eagle eye with zheng yu, sent bro to pasir ris to be picked up to go into camp, went down to jurong to eat n watch some pple play some diff version of ddr..

this version actually tells u how many calories u burned.. haha.. super weird rite?? n the pple playing seemed to be more skilled than the normal ddr player.. watch 3 pple play.. 1st one was this chick who somehow was playing wif both the step pad thingo.. it was kinda integrated into 1 screen so she wasnt playing 2 pples part, juz 1 player but spread across the entire playing surface.. had the funniest though ever though when watching her play.. as i watched her dance across the surface, all i could think was.. "wow.. her movements r so graceful,so nice and such economic motion"

2nd n 3rd pple were playing together.. they were friends n they were hecka fast.. seemed like something frm utube wif the jap/korean guys playing at insanely fast speeds.. how do u even learn to do such things man!?!?

then went to buy another of john c maxwell's books.. teehee..

seems like this trip aint turning out to be as expensive as the previous ones.. which is gd.. first trip ever i miss someone man..

new blog.. this will still continue though

2008-09-28T10:49:00.000-07:00

new blog is at www.wispywritings.blogspot.com.. this blog is basically 4 me to post wadeva story i write.. din wanna come clog up this blog wif the massive long posts which will be short stories.. no novels frm me atm, juz too long to post on a blog. shall attempt it someday though.. it might not be frequently updated but oh well.. ideas come when ideas come.. shall post a notifier on this to inform u guys bout the new post on ww. ww shall be short 4 wispywritings yeah? easier..

i guess i chose the name juz coz ideas r wispy.. google defines wispy as

wisplike: thin and weak; "a wispy little fellow with small hands and feet"- Edmund Wilson

dim: lacking clarity or distinctness; "a dim figure in the distance"; "only a faint recollection"; "shadowy figures in the gloom"; "saw a vague outline of a building through the fog"; "a few wispy memories of childhood

obviously juz copy n paste but the important thing is that idea r indeed thin n weak.. in our mind it lacks clarity until you put pen to paper( or in this case, finger to keyboard).. when it's written, you can then freely express urself and the ideas will start flowing and soon, it'll be like a flood and you can just picture the scene in your mind. the long river winding down the middle of the picture, the birds flitting around in the sky without a care in the world. it can be as detailed as u want it to be. it can be basic. u can juz describe it as a forest with lots of trees or u can go.. an thick forest with birds flyin freely in the cloudless sky, squirrels darting across the forest floor and the monkeys swinging in the foliage. a musty wooden smell was in the air and the sweet harmony of birds echo through the forest. the air was damp from the recent rain and water was still trickling down and off the brown autumn leaves.

hows tt?? better than a forest with lots of trees hey? ideas r fleeting. here 1 moment n then gone the nxt. its wad we do with the idea tt matters.

i write 4 the joy of writing. it releases and frees me to explore a world not of this earth and allows me to go where ever i wan. i can be a bird flying free in the sky or i can be a detective on the case of a murder. no matter who i m in real life, no matter where i m, i can always pretend to be someone else.

it's been a long 2 yrs since i wrote a decent story. its been 2 long yrs since i even WROTE a story so forgive me if the first few works aren't up to scratch. allow me to flex my intellectual muscles first, then i shall hopefully produce something of value.

2008-09-27T08:16:00.000-07:00

when i grow up

2008-09-06T08:33:00.000-07:00

when i grow up, not matter wad my job is, they wun believe i m an astronaut. they wun believe im a fire fighter. i might even be a billionaire n they wun believe me.

HOWEVER. wad would they think i m??

they would think tt i sell coffee in the hawker center downstairs. or if in australia, they might think i work in gloria jeans.

see tt?? see all tt red stuff?? tt's all bags n bags of coffee. muz be like.. 10/20 bags of coffee n the scary thing is?? it might only last us for bout 1 or 2 months when 4 normal people. it should last them for a year. n no. this aint photoshopped.

other random stuff i took wif my phone

(yes. i proudly declare tt this cute cow is mine!! its a cow not a pig n it's a handphone holder thingo which i use n its given to me by my wonderful friends tt r currently mugging 4 n doing their prelims. gd luck jo!! GAMBATE!!n u should be studying instead of reading my blog)

(the hockey stadium can be oh so ridiculously boring)

it's the story of my life

2008-09-02T05:32:00.000-07:00

an update on wads been happening n wads gonna happen soon

Happened

metros!!!! tt was awesome. no pics but oh well. who needs pics when u got the human memory. juz another way of saying i was too lazy to take pics. maybe i shall rip them frm school server?

Auditions for search 4 a star: i think we're in. but we shall see wad happens

sam's recital. Pretty gd. First time going to such a thing. overall a good experience.
was walking home today as usual n guess wad!! we saw a bird's wing on the sidewalk. juz 1 wing left wif the feathers intact. had a bone(which i guess belonged to the body) left but still was pretty cool. Nice colour too

new phone!! yes yes.. after 4 yrs being stuck wif my old phone. i finally get a new one!! the sony ericsson w910i. black one obviously.

Happening

work: juz started work again but this time out of responsibility( yes. contrary to popular opinion i M responsible when i have to be). currently working at the curtin hockey stadium collecting entrance fee. involves math skills n skills of entertaining urself while theres no one there. its a perfect job 4 loners. u stuck in a small booth with not much to do except count ur fingers which obviously gets boring very fast. therefore u can sit there n read/listen to ipod/ eat. me thinks im gonna get fat after this job

my sister's keeper: this is one awesome book frm jodi picoult. bout this girl who's basically born to donate stuff to her sister(who suffers frm some form of lukemia) to keep her alive.

is hating vista. super slow. not many processes running, decent amount of RAM but still taking ages to open apps.
Been taking the bus to school n waking myself up in the morning. Humans really have a great ability to adapt to their environment and circumstances.
duckling. i noe u'll nvr read this but i miss you.

Going to happen

tests n assignments. lots of it. got econs test tmr which i havent studied as usual. Then got some engineering assignment due fri. Another econ test on mon n apparently we're getting an epw tmr. This sucks. but its all gonna pass.
going back to singapore!! in bout a 3/4 weeks but who cares. i'm going back to the wonderful land of railings n concrete.
maximum impact. hmmm... will i be able to stay 4 this.
hiromi's n tate's birthday!!!
have exams but tt'll take a while. Bout 6 weeks? oh wells.

soccer ftw!!!

2008-08-23T08:50:00.000-07:00

today had zionlympics therefore had to wake up stupidly early... alarm went off n i looked at my watch.. was 7.40 n was wondering y i set my alarm tt early coz i dun even wake up tt early on weekdays then realized they picking me up at bout 8.30..

telematch was decent but loved playing soccer.. each team(5 players n 1 sub) plays 2 matches n we won 1 lost 1..
first match won 1-0.. the only reason was coz the goalie deflected my shot wif his hand( which was not allowed coz goalpost a bit too small.. it was on target though!! so i wouldve scored i think.. teehee...

2nd match lost 2-0... not bad considering we have 2 people tt arent very sporty n the rest was decent i guess.. everyone did a great job though!! another team lost to them 3-0 so 5 young kids( i was oldest.. youngest was 13) n the rest were 20 y.o guys.. unfair coz we were the only team tt had girls..

its funny how the losing team always goes... eh.. play play la.. play 4 fun la.... but when they winning they super serious.. oh well..

after match went home n as soon as i stepped out of the car my stupid leg decided to cramp on me.. twas so bad i couldnt bend my knee n the muscle was juz this massive lump.. thank goodness 4 mum coz she help me rub while i roll on the floor

then at night went for family dinner.. boring as usual... juz sit there n stone..

oh well.. .social obligations

currently watching: olympics table tennis( China vs Sweden)

2008-08-19T03:51:00.000-07:00

nothing better to make u feel tt u achieve something than to build a cupboard, pull weeds in the garden n help out in exo... all tt in 3 days..

how to not sound rude...

2008-08-13T07:46:00.000-07:00

many things have happened recently.. few people to say stuff to
a) to my special friend, glad u've rededicated ur life to god..
b) to my wonderful leaders, im so sorry 4 ur loss..
c) to god, thank you for the wonderful people who time n time again test our wavering patience
d) to whoever's reading, hi! :)

so confused.. how do you ask someone wad birth abnormality do they have wifout making it sound so darn rude?

"hi john..... umm... i.... umm.... was thinking for ur own safety.. may i noe wad happened to u??"

HEY!! tt might be wad i say.. was way way way better than

"hey john.. umm.. i.. umm... was thinking wtf's wrong wif ur hand!?!?!"
obviously john aint no real person n therefore the problem with the hand does not exist... but he-who-i-shall-not-name.. i still dunno wad to do..

HELP!!

2008-08-07T07:20:00.000-07:00

physics test... annoyingly difficult..

failure to communicate

2008-07-16T10:32:00.000-07:00

haha.. an interesting thing juz happened... ivan juz went down to buy toothpaste which subsequently woke my grandma up while he was closing the door.. she then asked me where he went.. in very broken teochew, i said something to the equivalent of "he went down to buy colgate".. being old, my grandma believes all toothpaste is made by darlie, represented by the black n white man.. therefore she said " oh.. he go buy black man??"

oh man.. now i really have seen it all.. 7-11 selling a black man.. I WAN ONE!! jkjk... cant imagine binding someone to me, serving me hand n foot... juz aint my style.. slavery sucks..

all this is is obviously translated into english coz if i type the hanyu ping ying, it might be hard to understand.. therefore bring a total waste of my time..

wah!!! flicking hot!!

2008-07-12T09:51:00.000-07:00

back in singapore.. n its flicking humid n hot here.. sweating like a leaky tap..
anyways.. 1 of the major things i bought was a book by john c. maxwell.. for those unfamiliar wif him, he's a motivational speaker on leadership..

the book has sparked a new interest in me which is to basically add value to others.. instead of pulling people down, i shall start uplifting n raising people up.. hmm.. i wonder how long this.. ambition of mine is going to last.. oh wells.. tts wad friends r 4 rite?? u guys r meant to be there to remind me to lift...

2008-07-01T02:31:00.000-07:00

WHAT THE CRAP!?!?!?!? i juz found out minutes ago that my bro had senesthesia or to be more exact colour-sound senesthesia which means that if he hears a note, he can see it as a colour as well... apparently he also has shape-taste senesthesia which means if he eats something, he sees it as a shape... let's say if he eats a spicy food, he sees a jagged shape..

haha... apparently last time when he was young, he went n told my mum after he ate something sweet that he sees a round shape n my mum said, as all mums do, "rubbish.. stop imagining things like that"

n he's the only one in the family to have it... damn.. always wanted something cool like that....

might explain y he's so gd at art.. n i... let's juz say im gd at drawing stickmen..

update on my brother

2008-06-24T06:16:00.000-07:00

n this juz popped into my mind...

ladies n gentlemen of myinnergroove.blogspot.com, i bring u the latest P plater in da house!! IVAN!!*clap clap clap*

yes yes.. my bro has finally passed his Ls after failing bout 4 times?? apparently not his fault coz the people at morley have really ridiculously high standards n kept failing him 4 stupid reasons.. even the testers at willagee agreed and said morley has received a ton of complaints...

ikea.. place wif cool beans furniture

2008-06-21T06:13:00.000-07:00

a few days ago, my bro and mum went to ikea to buy some stuff from ikea.. they returned wif 2 chairs.. 1 of which we had to build ourselves and this is it..

cool beans huh?? but the darn thing was a pain in the fishball to build... Building it was basically an entire workout on its own juz coz the bars din fit together very properly so my bro and i had to pull the bars while my mum screwed the nail in..

other chair is this..

cute eh?? juz something to rest the legs on..

ikea is so cool.. if only i could be as creative as them..

i feel like watchin lion king.. RAWR!!

2008-06-16T04:10:00.000-07:00

damn.. dun like my gnt exam mark.. today i achieved a first in my life.. the first time i ever topped the class(from the bottom).. tt sucks.. then i juz passed intro calc.. oh wells.. juz goes to show i aint gd at math..

anyways.. i also realized 1 thing today.. most of u out there in cyberspace might get shit results n cry.. either tt or u'd be visibly upset.. me, being the weirdo i m, after receiving my 2 bad results in a row still ended up making jokes bout my results n laughing in class.. i was seriously laughing n not at all caring bout my exam results at all! this is not wad i actually expected myself to do.. tts not wad im meant to do but hey.. i aint no conformists so to hell wif wad im meant to do.. im gonna be myself... im gonna be carefree like a bird flying in the air.. hakuna matata everyone.. hakuna matata..

hmm.. is being carefree really such a bad thing??

sizzled

2008-06-14T08:57:00.000-07:00

since the exams r very thankfully over, some friends n i went down to sizzler to eat.. salt n pepper flew in all directions as we spiked a few pples drinks n watch them get annoyed.. adrian got a bit stupid n poured almost a shaker full of pepper into paul's drink coz he din noe tt the cap was unscrewed.. dumb!! n i unscrewed it in front of him..

kids ran everywhere n lots of food n fun was had..
now to juz wait 4 the dreaded monday to come when we get our results back.. better enjoy my freedom while i can..

2008-06-12T09:13:00.000-07:00

5 down, 1 to go.. woot!!

thought of the day

2008-06-07T04:49:00.000-07:00

fear.. we all have it in some way,shape or form n it gets really annoying at times.. it hinders our movements and impairs decisions.. but then again?? wad is fear?? y do we fear things that we noe we can do?? for some of us.. public speaking is a great fear but y??

we all noe that we can stand in front of people and talk coz i mean.. tt's wad we do when we socialize rite?? we stand in front of others and we talk to them.. maybe not like 30 pairs of eyes staring at us but we socialize in a big group at times rite?? wads so different bout speaking to 30 pple?? n when u think bout it.. probably 10 of them arent listening at all so actually ur speaking to bout 20 pple.. tt's managable rite??
some of us even fear talking to others but u actually have the power to conquer that fear.. look round ur life n u'll see that u have friends.. how can u have friends if u dun talk to them??

therefore i conclude.. fear is silly.. its juz an obstacle that we have to clear.. sometimes it juz seems like a huge tall wall but there are ways to go past any wall, no matter how big or tall it is.. we can choose to walk round it or to blow a hole in it.. if all else fails, climb it.. jump n pull urself up or juz use a ladder.. all it takes is time if u really wanna conquer it..

my new found ambition?? to be fearless...

2008-06-04T09:35:00.000-07:00

sleep... tis a very annoying thing.. cant live wifout it but when u sometimes wan to sleep.. u juz cant.. its all the more annoying when u have an important exam to wake up 4 early in da morning..

me thinks me should decide on a colour for the font... red.. n purple??

being punctual... is not one of my strengths..

2008-06-02T23:58:00.000-07:00

those of u who went out wif me anywhere would noe tt punctuality is not my strength(should start working on it huh).. today was juz proof of this...

had a physics exam.. big big exam.. n i tot it was at 9.50 so tt's the time i rocked up to school at...
walked in and strolled round the corridors to the back of the school.. in my mind was thinking "eh?? y so empty one?? weird sia!!!" then walked to demountables n then someone told me.. UR SOOOOOOOOO LATE!!!

turns out it wasnt 9.50.. it was meant to be 9.00!!! OMG!!!
so went in sat down n chionged my exam.. n finished wif 1 question to go when everyone else finished.. n they said they juz finished.. n the teachers gave me 30 extra min coz i was late.. so i had bout 30 min to do 1 question n review everything else..

wad an adrenaline rush so early in the morning.. crazy man..
LET'S DO IT AGAIN!!!

2008-05-30T01:26:00.000-07:00

first major exam in bout 2/3 yrs.. aint stress one bit.. wow.. i think the taking of major exams in the past numbs u after a while.. after a few yrs... major exams juz become another test which u have to sit down n do.. juz another day at school...

all teh power to u

2008-05-28T07:25:00.000-07:00

respect.. tt's all i have to say bout gordan ramsey.. no doubt he swears a lot but at least he noes wad hes doing...

all the power to u gordan ramsey...

the passion he possesses n the business mind is great.. its really wonderful how 1 man can make a business n how another man can break the business... the episode i watched was bout the italian buiness in america where the owner thinks hes so great.. he takes so much pride in his appearance.. even if the business is loseing money at a large rate..

then he came and he turned the business round.. not afraid to stand up to him.. n even personally investing in the business.. such is the passion he has.. even if it is staged n sponsored, he din have to do it..

if only i could have as much business mind as him.. if only..
but then again.. these r only ifs.. we shall see wad happens when im older.. whos noes?? maybe one day, u'll see me on the cover page of forbes500..

one day...

2008-05-28T06:59:00.001-07:00

the period we have dreaded is upon us.. arm urself my fellow rossy-iers, be brave and stand firm against the onslaught of the evil which we call.... THE EXAMS!!! gd luck brave soldiers n march on...

anyways.. recently i went to watch indiana jones n my conclusion is... it sucked...
now if only i can find someone to gimme iron man.. anyone out there??

i feel bad.. telemarketer called n asked if i understood chinese n i pretended that i didnt.. but i fell for that trap once n shall not fall for it again..

twas a decent day.. we went bowling instead of badminton coz the stadium closed... wad a lame excuse..

first time bowling n i bowled a strike.. WOOT!! but it was a weird one.. coz the ball hit n the pins fell as u'd expect but then 2 still were left standing n so i turned round to get another ball.. took it n when i stared down the alley, the 2 pins were gone.. n the screen said i had a strike.. so.. tis weird..

n saw some funny methods of bowling.. sarah's method was basically drop the ball on the lane thingy n watch it roll down.. n she was beating everyone else with 80.. came 2rd.. i came 3nd with 79 n ken was first... damn!!

balls flew back to the crowd.. misses and strikes were often.. fun was had by all..
