Nothing to do

Ok, so the A levels are (almost) over. Just like the O levels, Bio MCQ has been left for last, a (torturous?) 10 day wait, I've decided that I shall do at least 1 MCQ paper a day, hopefully that will be enough. Must try to get at least 36 for MCQ. Day after bio paper 3, headed to Gnui's place. Now I have a bucketload of games to play, too bad I already finished one of them. MW2 was great while it lasted, but no MP on the XBOX. Mass Effect is deserving a second playthrough. Gears of War2 is done(lol) and now I'm pushing for permission from my mum to buy guitar hero.

Aside from games, I really need to train up for the upcoming conscription to the local military force. Don't why they don't leave PRs out of this. Most of us don't even pledge allegiance to the country. Heck, many Singaporeans are like that too. Some will get the first tickets out on the first sign of trouble(not saying that there will be, with few enemies and few resources for anyone to steal) Shrish Muregesan, one of my Secondary school classmates is literally "zhao"-ing at the end of the A levels. Looks like I've gone way off course. Yea so I'm gonna start by going to the gym today, ta.

Some shit like that

Farewell, TPJC

So, yesterday was my last official school day in TPJC. Initially, I hated it with a passion. Perhaps that was because of anger directed at myself, because I didn't do well enough to enter VJ, which was all part of my parents' GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS. Or at least I like to call it that anyway, since they seem to have everything all planned out. So forward looking. I performed today, and it sucked Huge hard donkey balls, but I managed to escape with this:

And it's more than enough to justify the experience, that of being in my first band, whether or not I got along well with its other members, I just want to make some noise dammit, and make some noise we did. This final day in TPJC was pretty emotionless for me. Despite all the friends(only a few, actually) that i've made in this school, I don't have that much of an emotional attachment with it, unlike the one I have with dear VS. Leave school arr, okay lor. However, TPJC has provided me with a satisfactory education and some good times, so for that, I am happy. I must make it a point to thank my teachers properly after all this shit is over. ECONS D:

Hate this shit.

I have begun to dread going to school. It seems everywhere I go, at any one time, someone is there to do something to piss me off. I just feel like staying home all day to study in peace. I actually used to enjoy going to school in J1. not so much anymore. I know it's me. Everyone's being their usual self, it's just me who's changing, becoming this obnoxious foul-mouthed bastard, who explodes at the smallest things. I am aware of my shortening fuse, and I hate it. I can't do anything to stop myself from getting angry. I used to be happy all the time, in Primary and Secondary school. Perhaps the stress and lack of sleep is catching up to me. I think guitar was the only thing that was keeping me sane during J1 and the earlier part of this year. There's no guitar anymore, and I have yet to buy a new set of strings for my guitar. Let's just get this over with, here's hoping that it will all be over soon.

Once upon a midnight dreary...

Long time no post. Very very long time. Half out of boredom, half out of reluctance to FINISH MY DAMNED BIO HOMEWORK TO BE HANDED IN ON TUESDAY OR SOME CRAP LIKE THAT, I have decided to revive my blog, by now covered under probably an inch of dust, dead skin cells and otherworldly particles.

Though so long has passed, there still isn't that much to talk about, or maybe it's just that i'm tired and sleepy. Tis' the exams, they are taking their toll on me, even though I've already taken 3 days off, I've sorta lost the stamina to study. Just feel like sitting around and idling, stare at stuff, go to facebook every 15 minutes although I know nothing is happening, PLAYING FRIGGEN TETRIS on facebook. I'm getting tired of this shit, yet I musn't. And yet, after all this crap is over, after the A's, what am I going to do? my past 3 years were devoted very much significantly to studying, day to night, then wake up the next morning, rinse, cleanse, repeat Ad Nauseum. I still refuse to sleep during the day, and I do not wish to break my track record of approximately 14 years without sleeping in the day. As tired as I feel these days, I refuse to sleep during the day. Call me crazy all you want, I aint wastin' time on snoozing when there's good stuff to be doing.*looks at earlier part of the paragraph*

Just done with the prelims, they were horrible, but better than SA1. Dunno if that's a good thing or a bad thing. 2 months to A Levels, whoopee. I'm probably still not going to be getting any A's for prelims, and this worries me to hell. On the other hand, I have been hanging out with excellent company, be it my awesome study partners or good ol' VS guys. We might just pull through. Might. Looking forward to a breath of fresh air at the end of the year. Then NS. Horrible horrible NS. My friends say i'll gain weight and buff up in NS. I'm not so sure.

I've been thinking a bit about religion, Christianity and all that jazz. I'm still uncertain about the whole shebang. I acknowledge that there might be some godly being out there, yet Science tells me otherwise. I've been going to church with some friends, to try to answer some of my questions. It's been interesting, enough for me to return weekly. Besides, gives me an excuse to study afterwards, as of today, I remain an agnostic. I do detest people who promote atheism because they think they're "cool" as the odd one out, I hate them with a passion. While they do have a right to spread their views to others, please get the fuck out of my face if I tell you to. I've heard and read about many theories and arguments, and they do hold water. I find all this fascinating and intriguing but i'd like to make my own decision and come to my own conclusions, thank you very much. I will choose what to accept and what not to accept, and I will give you a piece of my personal mind if you do not comply. AAANYWAY, i'll keep my mind open, and see what comes.

Should I or should I not go back to bio?

No more guitar

Well, that's that. As of yesterday, the reign of TPGE08-09 ended, and everybody not-so-happily returned home to mugging for their respective exams.(preceded only by much needed sleep). As I put away Guitar no. 12 into its hard case for the last time, I realised that I wouldn't be the next person to take it out again. It was a poignant scene. With 2 of the girls crying away beside me, I kissed the case and patted it goodbye, and haltingly walked out of the guitar room. I wanted to go back in, but decided to distance myself away from the room as quickly as possible. The damn SYF sticker is still on the guitar. Should have taken it off. Last night, I played through all of our pieces once again, and it was kind of difficult not to notice the emptiness in the songs, the lack of a melody, or accompaniment. I won't be playing with the ensemble again for a loong time. Though we will still see each other in school, we will not be producing music together, and it makes all the difference. 

We'll see what happens.

It's been a long long time since I last cried. My grandma's returning to Hong Kong tomorrow morning while I go off to school as per normal. She's so old, and she knows it. I can't bear to imagine what it would be like without her around. This is very probably the last time she's in Singapore to visit, hopefully it's not the last time I ever see her again. The post ends here. Any more of this and i'm gonna cry again.

SYF 2009

Well, TPJC Guitar Ensemble got Silver this year.

2007:Gold with Honours

2009:Silver

sounds like a world of difference doesn't it? For months we worked our asses off. I'm sure that my "lack of ass" has become even more scarce by now. ACJC got Gold, congrats and good job to you. We were always on par, perhaps you finally outplayed us today. SAC got Gold as well. I'm not so happy about this one. I'm sure that anyone who has heard SAC play will agree that it IS gold with honours material, and then some funny-sounding neighbourhood school comes and steals the title away. MJC got Gold as well. Granted, they did play fairly well, but i'd say they do not play as well as ACJC and SAC. If MJC deserved to get a gold, TPJC deserved to get a gold as well. I hope that it wasn't their fancy expensive pregnant bass guitars that gave them the title.

Ah well. Too bad there's no next time.

TPGE

That's me right on top of everyone else. Obviously I'm not THAT tall. I tiptoed :D

OMG I'M 18

about a month late, but still, i remember how I didn't want to grow up when I was 12. I'm scared of death.

DIE, MOTHERFUCKERS, DIE!

Apparently it is D-day for the flies, and they forgot to send me a memo.
So a battalion of about 23 flies assaulted my room a few hours ago. Immediately, I alerted the troops, got to the battalions and hauled out the Ridsect. It's got the image of a dead mosquito on it but what the hell. The flies appeared to be attracted to my lamp so i just aimed and OPENED FIRE! DIE YOU PIECES OF SHIT. YOU SHAT ON MY GP ESSAY! Closed the door to prevent further intrusions and just in time too. Theres like 10 flies kamikaze-ing into my window at this very moment. I surveyed the damage. 1 very slightly dirtied GP essay, 23 FUCKING FLIES DEAD.pwned the flies 23-1. That'll teach ya. And oh wow, here's another crawling on my table. SQUASHdasASDNASD with tissue paper. Join the shit in the sewers kthxbai. And wtf, here's another. Climb into my keyboard won't you. He thinks he's some fly spy. And wow, go on and hide underneath my "i" key too. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Mission accomplished.

Revised score:25-1 maybe +1 sympathy point to the flies for leaving muck beneath my "i" key. Nick is triumphant.

Mathematics.

How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways...
I hate thee to the depth and breadth and height
My cher can't teach, though always in my sight.
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace
I hate thee to the level of everyday's
Most hateful need, by sum and getting right.
I hate thee freely, as GC yields no might;
I hate thee purely, as my patience frays.
I hate thee even with passion fruit, juiced.
In my old briefs, and with no time to bathe.
I hate thee with a hate that's not obtuse.
With my lost saints, I hate thee to the death,
Grimaces, tears for all my life! And if God choose,
I shall but hate thee better after death.


So, it's been a reaaaaally long time since my last post, half because I don't know what to blog about and half because i'm too busy studying. Life has been really hectic for the past few months.

guitar+A Levels=no life

So I got my sticker on my guitar today, my ticket into participation in SYF. It doesn't mean much though. I'm expecting each and every J2 member of TPJC guitar ensemble to qualify for SYF. It would be such a waste if it doesn't happen.

On a lighter note, OMG Video Games Live! *drools* Who wants to go?

EPIC WIN SONG

Am playing this for TPJC J1 orientation night. <3

This is serious shit.

Here's something to ponder over:
