wells.. not chance to even log on for the next 3 days.adam khoo motivational talk, up till 9pm each day.
teacher keep asking us to pester parents to come on the last day.. see us cry.
my aunt beside, direct sia. say wan see me cry just use cane. >.< win liao lo.
chemistry test today.. quite okay i tink... can get B bah.. lol.
otherwise school's usual.
the a maths incentive test, at least far from failing now. keep it up! =)
february's almost coming to an end. 4 more months to chinese o levels.
blehs... 2 months gone just like that. time to start studying ler.... ><
also, about another month to AQ.
today's training was scrw'd.
only 5 out of all the sec4s appeared. sad la..
can run one all don't want to come for training.
how to win with this kind of attendance. this kind of team.
2.4km only and i'm panting... 13minutes.. way below my expectations..
then sprint/jog, sprint/jog.
one thing about me is that, i don't think stuff like, 'oh later still have to run.. conserve some energy.'
so usually i burnout before others..
every round i just sprint to the best of my ability.
resulted in a cramp so bad, i could not put my foot flat on the ground.
and its still sore like dunno what la... okay, fine. i'm b*tching.
argh.... doesen't really boost the overall morale...
my resolution is becoming clouded with doubt.

Happy Birthday Mum!Happy Birthday Yasmin!
hahas. there. yasmin's b'day on friday, and my mum's today.
whees. what a fun day today.
CNY celebrations with juniors today.
lantern making was a complete failure, our "lantern" resembles the crudest of lanterns. ><
and it didnt help with one of the junior boys acting like a spoilt brat.
argh. but otherwise my group was kinda fun.
next, make dumpling.
the cooked dumplings looked nice, and tasted okay.
but if the 'taster' saw the process, he'd probably lose his apetite. =)
close to 0 concern about hygiene, and 100% fun.
and we had something extra- "egg soup". bland-ified.
....
after parade, AQ meeting. about 1 month before AQ.
'looking forward' to intensified intensive training.
and the AQ camp during the march holidays.
the way lf described the camp, i'll turn up for school half-dead. ><
but it should do wonders to my physical health. not to mention pft. ^^v
chemistry tuition, electrolysis.
quite an easy-to-understand, but hard-to-apply branch of chem.
i wonder if anyone heard of that egyptian pharoh who could turn whatever he touched into gold.
that tutkenhamen or something..
because one part about electrolysis was eletroplating.
using electric currents to coat an object with metal.
that part kinda renders that story scientific bullsh*t.
no offense whatsoever intended to anyone. =)
okays. so much to finish today.
half a SS essay and english 10-year series comprehension.
and not forgetting geography and chemistry test on monday and tuesday respectively.
scrw'd. ><
ah well, best get cracking then. T_T

ah wdvs, the point is, had an 'incentive' test for which i didnt even study..
can say i completely forgot during the CNY.
but eventually, i guess it turned out better than i hoped.
at least i didnt leave any blanks. ^^v
although i know my sets are finished.. [3 marks gone. TT]
but hope can pass bah.. gahhs.
e maths no problems, everytime a maths is the main cause for worry.
sometimes good, sometimes bad.
arghs. what the heck.
and i'm freaking careless. i want an eye transplant. sharper vision.
anyone interested? [joking!]
oh wells, P.E was fun though.
5 rounds, gate to pool and back.
glad that i still can mantain without stopping. =P
although many chao keng. ...
soccer was riddiculous. don't even know how to stop the damn ball.
so malu.. T_T
and another 2 more weeks of soccer can.
i rather run when they are doing soccer loh...
adam khoo motivational talk coming up, and x-country!
hahas.
next week should be interesting.. =)

hellos!its the second day of CNY today. not much visiting today.
just my dad's former boss, an aged but learned man.
loves antiques too.
then went to my grandma's place.
had lunch there, and stoned for from like 12 to 2plus.
then my cousins all came.
abit of chit-chat and catching up.
then 'ban-luk'. i think its called blackjack... the 21-point thingy.
had to quickly pack away, when visitors came. =X
started with $7, and i lost $6. T_T
don't really have much luck, can't afford to play big.
and its not my own money i'm playing with. =P
then around evening, went to my uncle's place for dinner.
they 'gambled' there too, but the teevee had a nice show on. so didnt play.
the show's name is.. colors of the traid or something like that.
the 'skirmishes' between the underworld and the police. think the chinese name is 'hei bai shen ling'.
not bad.
i was like munching throughout.... so guilty. hahas. ^^v
well, tml going miss ng's place to 'bai nian'.
1st time going to a teacher's house. for any purpose or wdv.
otherwise, thats it for today..

lol. now lvl 6. pro rite. ><
okays, so i closed runescape ard 3am ytd, wanting to rest.
within 5 minutes, i was gone.
laptop was left running, all the way till the battery went dead.
my sister really pro, she slept at 6.30am. o0
i feel so 'si bai'. lol.
because i was the one who say, "okay ar.. aim 4+ sleep."
and i was the 1st to K.O
whereas she made it through.
she 'suffered' though, dog-tired. =P
so, how was everyone's 1st day of cny??
it sure was humid today.
coupled with the fatigue, the early parts of the visits were torture.
but it got a little better after lunch.
and the passing drizzle sure helped a bit too.
so much new year goodies... and hongbaos!
and its only the 1st day.
both good and bad things. lol.
okays. thats it for the 1st day.

another 1 hour 45minutes[from time of entry]to the start of the new lunar year.i shall not talk about it as if its new year. hahas.
will post another entry later, for the greetings and stuff.
lols.
Valentines, Total Defense, Chinese New Year.
3 events in a week. how many times do we get that.
long weekend to look forward to. another 3 days. yays!
hongbaos, good food, and meeting all my relatives again.
one of my favourite festivals, and not without good reasons. =)
and i'm so damn afraid that i'll develop a "spare tyre".
ahas. i'm self-conscious. so what.
i just don't wanna walk around with like 'whatevers' spilling over my pants. =S
so contradictory.
okays, yesterday.
CNY celebrations. the lessons before that- not worth mentioning. =P
we had this SAF military band to perform for us. all chinese instruments, with one western one.
kinda stood out. but the performance was still nice.
some girl lost control i guess, hahas. ><
the rest were performances from our schoolmates, good performances they put up too.
but i guess the last part, with 'huang da ma' was still most memorable.
and mr kee~ lol. that roused everyone i guess.
after the performance, went marina sq.
ben, yuqi, sam, phy, zhisin, qins and me.
Ghost Rider! so cool man.
leaping across 6 helicopters, full length of a soccer field.
cheating death.
good movie. ^^v
today was spent out with my mum @ parkway.
she went to get her hair done, and i just tagged along.
don't wanna stay cooped in the house that day.
i was reading this new book i bought- Epic.
storyline a little like Runescape. old times.
the first RPG game i played. hahas.
after that was shopping with my mum.
bought myself a new handphone pouch from mini-toons. hahas.
otherwise i was there to help with the bags. =P
at night had a reunion dinner at a relative's place.
what a spread.
steamboat, loads of food.
and i tried red wine. damn bitter. and made my throat burn. ><
everyone went home around 9.. so early..
nvm, continue tml. hahas.
what else, long night ahead.
i'm fulfilling the old belief that the longer you keep awake, the longer your parents' lives will be.
and also, its a 'good excuse' to stay up. hehs.
so what am i going to do???
dunno, whatever i want. ^^
many many red packets for everyone!! Yay!
Posted by :]amu at 10:39 PM
pixs!!
the rose that my dad gave my mum.and as u can see in the background, i'm all stocked up for new year goodies!! hahas.
probably the only thing i'm proud of in my bb uniform. this chevron speaks of the past 3 years in the boys' brigade. =)
The 'Winged Bayonet'. Symbol of the elite commandos of the SAF.
how cool, if i could be one in the future. train!! hahas.
nice movie. loads of flames. wonder how did they make the flames so real.
CG cant be that perfect. can they??

Valentine's Day.A day of the birds and the bees, as they say.
don't really understand how they phrase came about.
though it was just another day to me.
ehhs, not really.
Total Defense Day commemoration day.
otherwise nothing much.
full-u.
the only part i like about my uniform is the chevron.
spent like one hour last night arranging and pinning up the new badges.
didnt study for a maths today.
and as expected, it sucked.
zzz.
Roses abound in the classroom today.
though didnt see any one giving to another person of the opposite gender.
i dunno, nothing much anyway.
loads of chocolates and new year cookies though.
seems like no one intends to eat just the rations.
i didnt.
can say a picnic in class today. hahas.
here, a little history about Valentine's Day-
"Saint Valentine's Day or Valentine's Day is on February 14. It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other; sending Valentine's cards, candy, or donations to charities, often anonymously. It is very common to present flowers on Valentine's Day. The holiday is named after two men, both Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines". Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards. The Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.
In the United States, the marketing of Valentine's Day has tagged it as a "Hallmark holiday". A recent trend has been to refer to February 14 as Singles Awareness Day."

there. and now,
nothing more to blog.
so ending.. ^^
What a Valentines.

okayss.. for some reason blogger requires google accounts to log in.ah whatever.. no difference to me anyway.
had a bout of flu today...
left me drowsy and half-dead during geog..
chemistry was okay, in the lab.
lame experiment, concentration.. nothing spectacular.
then again, none of the experiments we did were particularly memorable.
maybe only the one time where i burnt my fringe during sec2 SPA.
stupid bunsen burner..
i starting to like the latte sold in the school canteen.
its in a can, but its way better than the one i had @ swensens last saturday.
sorry cindy, didnt mean to dampen your mood.
lol.
we had spelling during english today, and i failed.
bloody ridiculous, but i guess it was expected.
i was multi-tasking sudoku at the same time.
some words was pure carelessness. ><
maths passed quickly, i 'smoked' through it in "screen-saver mode"
physics free period, a singh came in to relief.
gave us this brain teaser. unscramble the words.
i was finishing the bleach manga john lent me, but i thought about one.
here-> sage lion.
my brain was shooting off different words related to animals.
but the answer was 'gasoline'.
cheryl unscrambled most of the words, she and her group. pro-style.
chinese remedial was a drag. the compre passage was so colorful it left me clueless.
and its talking a bird lost at sea and became companions for sailors.
what the heck..
i'll be able to remove my stitches tomorrow.
i told all my bball cliques that i will be fine by friday. whees!
actually, i played awhile just now after remedial.
but nothing vigorous, just shooting and stuff. =)
the wound still itches now and then though..
makes bathing a chore. ><
only then did u talk to me. but now it seems like nothing changed. i never meant for it to end this way.

nature paints the prettiest pictures.
link: post, February 03.
the GMsec4s wave! wahahas.
'photographer': alan.
when you bball,
you just enjoy the game.
good way to relieve stress.
taken: february 06.
warning: extreme gore.
kinda fresh.
and its still there.
block 97, i think.
*not for the faint-hearted. ><
GSL Company CNY Dinner '06
cousins! ^^v
okays, thats it. all from my z610i.
seems like if i wanna post pics, gotta be in a different post from the normal ones. =S
Posted by :]amu at 11:10 PM
yays! another one more week to cny!and i've made up my mind to gorge myself.
worse case a few more rounds during training. =P
okays. so yet another week passed.
its been like.. 4 days since i 'bang wall'.
after that last post, i went to the clinic for my stitches.
well.. it didnt turn out half as bad as i expected.
at least i could not feel the thread.. like i did in china.
and i just realised that my current 3 scars are all on the left side on the face.
one in between the eyebrows and eye, inflicted when i also banged into a netball [or was it basketball] pole in primary 4. ><
one around the lobe of my ear, inflicted when i 'fought with a tree' in china, in sec 2.
and now, new one beside my eye.
and by far the one where i lost the most blood.
wells, after i felt the prick of the anaesthetic injection, i pretty much felt nothing for the remainder of the 'stitching'.
my mum was too squeamish to see, but she estimated about 7 bah. maybe more.
well, the good news is that i'm well and recovering.
think i can do away with the bandages tml.. then tuesday removing the stitches.
and viola~ another scar. lol.
didnt touch basketball for the rest of the week, until today.
well, it kinda sucked. not being able to play...
but on the bright side those days were the days i went home earlier than usual.
today's parade ranged from average to 'wth' kind of mood.
the kayaking instructor is such a -----. somehow it feels like being backstabbed.
she didnt even say anything during the course, and after that complain to lf.
and its not like we completely heck-all la.
push-up in the open, right about noon time.
not exactly scorching, but enough to make me want to spew out the expletives queueing on my tongue.
after that still nvm, aq next. seems like there was training yesterday. 11 out of the 24 was not informed.
10 for each un-informed. grand total- 110.
i really feel sorry for the aq i/c.s
cleared 30. by then my palm was reddening. and followed by a grilling by mr tay.
ah whatever.. its over. a debt of 80 more. by next training.
so damned "looking forward" to it sia.... can hardly wait. -
o's came out yesterday.. 2 of my cousins got back their scores.
one got 25. the other got 9. so when my mum asked me about myself, i replied:
9 bo ko lian [impossible]. 25 also bo ko lian.
although i said the first part with much more conviction than the second one.
read a few pple's blog just now, most feeling super-pressurised by the oncoming o's.
and somehow it makes me feel guilty. ><
quite a few mentions of new year shopping undone too.
going to have to finish my differentiation assignment 5 later.
i honestly whether to like the subject or swear at it.
i don't see its purpose, though it simplifies coordinate geom.
ah whatever.
so many people asking me about my aims next year.
especially recently, with the release of the o's.
to be frank, i've have no idea. my scores aren't exactly stellar, nor are they sh-t too.
blasted choices. as if it ain't enough thinking about the o's, thats pressing enough.
kinda makes me wonder what's gonna happen to me in the future. both near and far.
so unpredictable, so hidden, so sudden. its driving me nuts.

okaaays.. i'm such a 'coconut'.lol. on my way to the bus stop just now, i knocked into a pillar.
i was just looking behind.. wanna see what bus stop ken they all going.
then went i turned back i knocked into the pillar.
first reaction was put my hand to my forehead.
then i felt my hand moisten.. with blood.
second reaction: damn!! i'm bleeding!
injury at the left eye..
out of the corner of my eye saw the blood literally shooting out..
i almost laughed la.. >.<
go to the drain.. then tissue pressure lo.. [thankq first aid. =)
the 1st tissue soaked immediately lo.. asked one girl passing by for water..
guess she was freaked out..
gessle came along.. my 'angel'. hahas.
i think i must have looked really bad.
i know it was profuse, coz' my hand all bloody..
damn.. look like murder scene la... especially the drain there..
i heard of alot of pple.. but could not see who was there.
sorry to everyone i freaked out. =P
then gessle accompanied me back to school lo..
general office, mr jaaya just nice about to leave.. so paiseh.
then put antiseptic lo.. huang da ma there... so funny.
she ask me what happen, i told her i 'long pia' [knock wall]
lol..
reached my mum's office.. so paiseh again.. make everyone worry.
actually is nothing. and when i knocked also like feel nothing.
only after a while then it started throbbing.
so later going see doctor... i guess stitches unavoidable...
just hope not too many.... >.<
i also learnt a few things from this 'episode'.
1) the person who helped me out was someone i didnt expect..
Treat others how you want others to treat you. how true.
the person u spite may very well be the person that saves your life.
2) things can happen at any moment.
so damn unexpected.. walking walking, then bang!
3) blood smells damn foul. like some chemical from the lab.
eewl.
okays. so about to go doctor ler..
expect a bandaged me tml. hahas.
and before i go...
thanks gessle.. i owe you one. ^^v

February 3, 2007
1st week of february- goneone month has passed, main 'highlights' was the headstart tests.
about 3 months?? perhaps. 3 more months, then mid-years.
then after that.. october, 'o's? maybe earlier.
zzz. so sad. sec4, quite a short year... must cherish all my friends around me.
and mug too.
so i can leave sec4, without any regrets.
^_^
i'm starting to love almond cookies.
my auntie just bought, and i'm like so addicted to it.
every day after i get back sure eat.
CNY coming... i don't want to put on weight!! hahas.
today was fun.
quite slack.. but its the after-recess programme thats interesting.
not the actual event, but the 'events' before that.
[due to time constraints on friday, it was half-finished.]
[contd.]
[picture missing again... freaking blogger... TT]
the GMsec4s wave! wahahas.
although, technically, thats only faith 4-2 and abit of 4-1.
taken before we went to the hall.
the actual installation ceremony itself was boring.
someone behind was being irritatingly lame..
okays, fast forward, after the ceremony, before school ended.
part 2! it started from our class, spread to almost the whole sec4 express classes.
a pity some never join in, breaking the wave in the middle.. =(
okays, so after school, bball.
playing happily, until phy called me, say the staff will clear the books under the table.
panic, rush back to class. 'wow' almost every class got pple packing books.
our class was a logistical nightmare. lets just say we could have made a fortune from the textbooks at cost price.
so some unfortunate ones had to act as sacrifices, assuming they really cleared the desks.
even now, the outcome remains unclear...
thats it for friday.
now~ today, saturday.
last lesson of kayaking star 2.
mainly theory for the first two hours.
after that, for the next 2 hours or so, it was a estimated 8-klick kayak expedition.
from kallang water sports centre all the way to the area opposite fullerton.
wind was strong, waves were choppy.. not at all nice conditions to kayak.
but when you start paddling all out, with the wind in your face.
quite a exhilarating experience.
but i was burnt out by lunch. *lunchtime.
our lunch was what we brought from home.
some smart ones brought beehoon, burgers, nasi lemak, etc.
i brought oreo cookies. >.< lucky they went over to the canteen for some food.
or i think i might just faint.
all in all, star2, bow rudder, stern rudder, kayak-to-swimmer, eskimo, etc etc.
don't think i will be able to kayak again in a long while. maybe i wont. =P
okays.. gotta go do homework again.
pileloads, that never seems to end.
okay.. perhaps because its cumulative. =P
and i think i'm sunburnt again.
ouch. T_T
