if only emotions were as simple as abc.

 

depressing week... with a few cheer-ups. (:

well well well. what can i say. the week has been extremely depressing for me. not that i will go emo anyway; it's not my type of reacting to sh*t.

first is my results. everything was quite fine. i had 3.6 for most of em (that's an A). i screwed up my physics and chinese as i had 3.2 in both. physics was quite expected... chinese was hard, and i wasn't prepared, so i can't blame anyone for that. but the worst part was social studies. it's not that i don't have an affinity to it; it's like whatever i think is correct is wrong. and what i thought was wrong is correct. as a result i barely maintained my 2.8, which sucks if you guys didn't know. but of course, to see it in a good light, i maintained 3.6s on many subjects including geography (surprisingly) and my mathematics (even more surprisingly). ah well. i guess it was okay. so my grade point average for this year is 3.42. no laptop there... darnit. D:

and going to class the past two days was completely USELESS. i mean the papers are already given out, and the teachers are only there to... have fun with us. though they're not much fun anyway. - - it turned out to be boring. total waste of sleeping time. why not let us have frickin rest after the EOYs instead of letting us stay back for things like that? darnit. D: i so wanna go back home early. they could've just given out the results slips these two days so we can just go home early. i miss my family and friends. a lot. it's getting quite boring here in singapore.

then the thought of me having to move my barang to my new room is even more depressing. i mean it's a full year of crap in my hostel and now i have to move out? wadafak man. i wanna stay in my room. it's perfectly fine for me, thank you very much. makes me wanna stay at home more. boarding is nowhere near home away from home; i don't think any building can be a substitute for my home unless my family's there. isn't that the definition of "home" in the first place? i so wanna go home.

but that's not the only reason i wanted to go home. received very bad news today that hun jiang's mother has passed away after battling cancer and succumbed to it. yannfei and qihong told me that his usual cheerful self that i remembered while i was in 2A was replaced with a very gloomy person. can't blame him there. i hope he'll get over it soon. my deepest condolences to him and his family.

but there was one thing (person would be too kind) that made me really angry. waihoe went to attend his mother's funeral but didn't pay his last respects. what the fuck. i'm freaking sure everyone knows how to pay respects. his excuse? "I'm a Christian." if someone care to remind that ass all about the chinese tradition that we have been experiencing for the past 16 damn years, it's all about respect. who gives a damn about your damn religion; someone died here and her son is your classmate for christ's sake. what's with the sensitive mind?

anyway, i actually had a surprise message from angelyn, who was also surprisingly in singapore to watch a play! we met at orchard mrt but apparently she was under constant surveillance by her cousin and her cousin's friend (thanks to her sister and mother i guess? XD) but whatever. we chat quite a bit (it's actually quite long. D:), treated her to sundae (and she spilled some of it. and you call yourself a lady?!) and had to leave after she had to meet up with her sister at wisma atria. ah well. poor her. D:

again, i can't wait to go back home. still gotta hold a meeting with scholars' comm and stuff like that. signing off. :D

 
 

bought ticket.

it seems i finally went and bought my ticket. yay. 5th november, 9am. will be back at around 5-6pm, so you guys can bother me then. :p the ticket price has increased. it's 45 freakin dollars now. the economy is so unstable. and from what i hear in malaysia, everything's still "bn vs pakatan". what's wrong with them? bah. - - oh well. anyway, can't wait to meet people. my parents, engyee, angelyn, puimun, chengyee, school mates, school teachers, dinghuiju friends, etc etc. (former school by the way. - -) and i still have to talk to the 4 people who are going to singapore next year. so much to do, so little time. :p

i still haven't moved my stuff to my new room. the pile of rubbish on my table seems too much for me to handle, and i have no idea how to clean up. ah well, maybe i'll just dump all the junk in there again. just kemaskan sikit dah boleh. (hopefully. XD) the new room isn't even cleaned yet. i wonder when the heck will we do it? :o i just gotta sweep+mop the floor and wash the toilet. should be quite simple. congrats to me for using an unused room. yay. XD

i just found out from my physics teacher that i did not fail my physics! and it wasn't a borderline pass, so i still have hope of getting a 3.6 in it, even though i have no interest whatsoever in the subject. there's a shitload of projects next year, so i have to strive to get 3.6 to carry a laptop over. and i have to remember to lock it up and all, otherwise some people might just turn on my computer and phone me for the password. i mean, how absurd is that in the first place? - - getting my results back next week. will keep you guys posted. :D

anyway i got to play mr lam's wii yesterday. played until quite late. it's some tennis game which is quite easy to play to be honest. but still i couldn't get past a lot of stages. sigh. wanted to break the whole console. :P then mr lam came and told me to turn it off. he wanted to watch some nature thing on china named "Wild China". quite interesting with all the diversity of plants, animals, wonders of the nature... whatever. you get the point. i'm so not gonna go into geography. XD

... kay. no idea what else to say. signing off.

 
 

updateupdateupdate. :D

finally an update. damn. XD the problem with blogging is... well, once you become too inactive, you just don't feel like writing every damn thing. sigh. ah well. i'll definitely not talk about my exams cause it's over. i don't believe in whining over exams too long after it until maybe when i receive my results. it's pointless trying to cry over spilt milk, or cheer over... something. - -

anyway, i met up with the scholars comm' gang again, and this time we're doing an orientation programme for sec 3s next year. and i'm the overall i/c. darn. so if anything goes wrong, i'm the first one to be shot. *shot* already? dang it. ): anyway ms joyce yeo hasn't announced the other committee members yet so i can't really do anything now. we'll probably meet once more all of us return home.

speaking of which, the new ipod touch is quite okay. the speaker is quite weak (it's just like plugging in headphones and putting it to max volume - -) but the gps was quite nice. not that accurate considering the fact that is a small device and not a gps device in general. ah well. i can also plug in a trrs (tip-ring-ring-sleeve) 3.5mm jack which allows me to use a microphone! yay. go google it or wikipedia it if you have no idea what that means, or search for iphone headset. :D

i haven't bought my ticket yet. damnit. i should probably get it by friday as it's the only free day i have left. sigh. time passes so freakin fast. and there's still handing out of results, formal dinner and of course, moving my stuff (junk) to 5.3. freakin staff wants us to room with someone from another nationality. mafan la. can't they just let us keep our own rooms? to hell with interaction, i talk to every freakin nationality. D:< anyway my roommate ain't that bad, he's quite a nice guy so i don't have much to worry about. :D

boarding website committee is gonna meet again! once aditya left it was dead until recently when people try to revive it. i can't believe my eyes. i mean, come on, how many websites have you seen that have actually revived?! like, none? :p hopefully this will stay alive and not die again. i can help with the design, but writing articles just ain't what i like. i prefer server-side stuff as well as designing. :o

anyway i went for a toastmaster's session today. it was really fun. it's basically an organization which trains people in public speaking. it's an international society and has roots everywhere, from russia to south america to even singapore. i wanna go for it again. you should see people coming together and learn, it's really a nice experience. you can obtain more info at http://www.toastmasters.org.

too tired to say anything. signing off. will update soon. :o

 
 

exams. :(

here comes the exam fever people!

i can't believe it. i've been reading a lot and shit just doesn't go into my brain. someone save me from hell. please? XD ss nothing much to study. geog just for coastal. languages (chinese & english) how to study also don't know. bio... first few chapters revision i guess? chem is just the calculation stuff plus redox. physics... everything. EVERY DAMN THING. :( maths... needs a lot of saving too. i mean come on, i haven't practised for a long time now. XD

dmp is finally over! one of the best periods of school i've ever encountered. except for maybe obs. :o anyway, i think i've gained loads from them. refer to last post for the modules i took i guess. nanotech was a bit irrelevant but oh well, you can't have everything. :o

remember the ferrofluid stain i talked about? well i asked for pointers from uncle stanley (THANKS!) and he pointed me to use either 16% concentration of HCl (hydrochloric acid) for best results or settle for C6H8O7 (citric acid) to remove partial stains. managed to remove some stains only using citric acid after the school lab supplied me with a beaker full of it. XD mr koh will help me get HCl tomorrow. yay. now to get gloves before i hurt myself. (already got a small blister on my hand because of citric acid. D:)

i see some people have finally updated their blogs. engyee finally updated after a 4 month hiatus. puimun finally talked about something that's not bbt-related. angelyn posted... a biography of herself? XD aaron kok... mmm. broke his promise i guess. XD i believe i won't be seeing them update till a long time later. same with me here. i probably will update again this weekend and/or start of next week. then it'll be a hiatus until the 20th of october. all due to eoys. D:

then scholars' committee project! damnit. i haven't executed anything. can't the others be like a bit more active? for god's sake. :( i believe we'll be discussing more when we meet at moe. couldn't do it as planned on monday cause ms. joyce yeo postponed the meeting further till 15th october. i might not even be able to attend! god damnit. asiocmqcioubfoqmndiuqbe!@&#%!@*&^*!@&#%

ah well. phone nearly died last friday as a result of my sweat seeping through the phone after my game of badminton. of course dad found an opportunity to kick me in the gut by insulting sony ericsson again. XD i retaliated saying that it was a good use of the warranty and utilizing maximum value of the phone. damn. i can't believe i said that. thick-skinned ain't i. :o

here's a shoutout to everyone out there! good luck with your exams/eoys/whatever coming up. especially those in smk convent malaysia, raffles institution singapore, smjk sam tet malaysia, smjk ave maria convent malaysia and well, basically everyone else i know. :P
