14 Days to end of IB Exams

Instead of looking at the beginning (of IB exams), we shall focus at the end of it when many other things are going to happen :D

I did not update my blog in the past two days, I think. Basically, these two days were just about studying Chemistry.

Today I woke up quite late and went to Clementi with Felix at noon. We headed to Subway to eat brunch. I ate Marinara Meatballs. It was quite good. We were eating and studying for Chinese ab there. After that, around 3pm, we went to LAN shop to play 2 rounds of DotA. Then, I went home to get ready to go to Orchard with my friend to watch . It was ok for me, not fantastic but it is not bad also. It was quite fun to watch with a full house audience who are as well entertaining :D especially at the end of the movie - before the credits. There was a very big gap in between, so all of us were like staring at the screen hoping something to happen. After a long suspense, the credit just came out. All of us were like "eehhh..." *LOL* Furthermore, the Paramount Picture logo just came out. Then, there was someone saying loudly, "the movie is just about to begin" XD and many of us were laughing.

I brought for my friend and we did not do anything else except watch movie and accompanied him shopping :D~

IB exam starts in 2 days - starting with Chinese ab. I am going to the hall with whatever left in my brain. I am going for Seoul Garden lunch buffet tomorrow - MEATing (sadly, alone) and read my Chinese stuff.

FIN.

5 days to IB EXAMS

Again, I woke up at 6.20am for breakfast and back to sleep until noon! After that, I studied Physics until 2pm in my room and then went to KAP's McDonald to continue studying with Felix and Samuel.

I was eating McSpicy set meal upsize with iced lemon tea *random*

Next, we took bus to Clementi. I bought presents for James' birthday and printed out some photos. We ate Japanese Food at Ramen Ten at Clementi too.

An hour ago, I passed James' birthday gift and then continue doing my Physics past year papers.

Oh ya, I was helping Jeremia to find people who want to adopt his 8 hamsters :3

It is 5 days away to IB EXAMS.

That's it for today. FIN.

Khuntoria Fever!

I ended up do not study anything today. I did not even touch any book. So, what I did for the whole day was watching Khuntoria at WGM. Oh, life is so good like them. I just watched a video on allkpop where Khunnie teaches Victoria how to dance the steps in . Oh, I wish...

I went to after having my dinner in boarding school. I refuse to comment anything about it. I just hope that JCRC has done their best and be proud with what they have done~

Now I am planning on what I should do tomorrow as in where to study tomorrow.

Good Night.

FIN.

Maths Day

I did not write blog yesterday. So, I am going to write about yesterday now.

I only slept for 3 hours yesterday because of insomnia ): I do not know why but I had already lied on by bed since midnight but I think I only able to sleep at 3am. Nevertheless, I went for breakfast at 6.30am and did not feel sleepy at all. Right after it, I did some Maths questions when I went back to my room.

I went for Maths remedial at 8.30am. It was apparently the last session because my school declared a holiday on Thursday that morning. However, it is quite weird because the last day of school for the rest of the students in the school is Wednesday. Thus, that makes it the last session. So, there is no more remedial for me officially. I was studying Maths until around 3pm ++ yesterday. I was studying in the library with Darwin, Brian, Jeremia, and Albert. After that I met, Ian, Minh, Jiaee, and Ann. Followed after that, I went to PC room to study and meet Alice, Jordi, and Daryl over there. I think all the year 6s are crazy into IB now.

After that I was enjoying my time until 11pm. Then, I did a few more Maths questions before I sleep. Anyway, I have done all the paper 1 in the past year papers. Nevertheless, I still feel that I am not ready for the IB exam. It is ok, I will just go with whatever in my brain :D

I slept quite well yesterday and surprisingly, my roommate slept quite early (compared to other days)- so, I can have a peaceful dark room to sleep. (:

This morning I woke up and had breakfast like yesterday. Now, I am listening to the new release of < 훗 HOOT> by SNSD and 2AM's new album . Good songs and MVs!

Later I am going to study for Economics. I think I am just going to stay in my room and study.

See ya.

Early Farewell~

As usual, this morning I woke up at 10am. I think I was doing nothing until noon. Out of this nothingness, I feel like playing LAN. So, I went to play for hours at the end. I was playing L4D2 and Warcraft alone.

Then I went to eat my only meal today at KFC. I do not feel hungry until now though. D1 set meal with cheese and large iced lemon tea.

When I went back, my 'couzie' smsed me that she is coming to our boarding school to pass Viet Anh, James, and I something. She passed me this nutrious juicy drink :D and passed James a birthday present.

After that, I fell asleep when I was ready my English set text. HAHAHA. I woke up and go to the farewell for Archis and Angad. Wish them all the best in the future!

I wish I could do well for my IB exams with what I have left in my brain. I do not expect so much- I just want to do reasonably well. I am sorry if I disappoint my teachers. I do appreciate them.

I think I am quite looking forward to [Geek Show 2] this Tuesday by JCRC. I hope it will be good.

FIN. Hope tomorrow will be a good day.

enLIGHTenment

Today I woke up at 9am++ and read Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha for two hours with many sleeps in between. At noon I headed to Mac to eat my lunch and read Paddy. After that, I went to temple to pray for a while and then go somewhere else for a few hours to meet someone.

After that I went to Marina Square to eat at Pasta de Waraku with Billy, Felix, Brian, and Mine. The food is really great and the place is nice even though it is quite hidden. I think I will recommend this place to others. I took many pictures there. I ate seafood pasta with tomato and drank banana milkshake. Luckily DBS gives 10% discount. I do not know why recently I have craving for seafood.

After dinner, we walked to see the "light" exhibition. Some are really good and some are not worth looking at. Before that, we passed the Marina Sands shopping mall. There is something cool over there. It was a bowl-like structure which allows you to roll a coin (and if you are lucky, the coin will go into a hole and fall into the fountain in the shopping center) as well as to transfer sound from far distance very clearly. I was very amazed by it. Other than there, there was also a human statue with a bicycle which is coated with gold color. I took a picture with him as well as together with my friends. From there, we walked a long way to The Fullerton Bay Hotel with many lights exhibitions along the road. There was a huge field with 'light plants' where we took some cool pictures. Unfortunately, we do not have the awesome SLR pictures. So, some places are quite dark which unable us to take pictures.

Then we took cab back to boarding school.

END of today. I do not know what to do tomorrow but now I am going to upload the pictures on Facebook.

(Super Early) Christmas Dinner 2010

I woke up this morning quite late- as usual. I did some Maths questions and went for lunch at Wah Chee with hallmates. After that I went to hospital with Viet Anh and Jiaee to visit Ms. Fu. She is our ex-chemistry teacher. I hope she is getting well!

I had my last Christmas Dinner in boarding school. In my opinion, the events are getting worse and worse every year. Additionally, there is some complications regarding the Year 6 item. Nevertheless, Viet Anh came up with an amazing alternative video presentation. Thank you, Viet Anh! The video contains many meanings for some of us. Maybe only some of us know the real meaning behind it (:

The [COURIER], boarding school magazine, is published today. It looks good even though I know what happens on the first page. I am quite pleased that my poem is published at the last page of the magazine. I hope that I can keep the newsletter for my collection.

I won the 3Qs award for my hall this year. I am very happy. Thank you.

I am glad that I am graduating soon. I had my memory here in Singapore, thank you everyone.

I am in dilemma on what I should do tomorrow- should I go to Marina, Dhoby, Suntec or just study the whole day? Hmmpphh..

-[removed]-

Yesterday I had my last hall dinner at Tiffany Cafe, Furama Hotel. It was not spectacular, just so so. Sadly, I did not take any pictures yesterday during the hall dinner. Instead, I was learning Korean from my Korean hallmates :D It was great! After we reached boarding school, we celebrated Ms. Raj's birthday (forever 21 LOL). This is her last year in boarding school too. She is going to move out to her own flat. I wish her all the best! Since we were so full from the buffet dinner yesterday, we did not eat the birthday cake. So, instead, we are going to eat the cake tonight. Additionally, it was quite irritating to know that teachers are suspicious about some boarders who possess lighters. Some of the teachers are so narrow-minded and overgeneralizing by saying that possessing lighters is equal of smoking. Do they know that we need lighters to light up candles to celebrate birthday party? I hope they go for a training to understand these basics and the fact that they are teachers, they should have good logics.

Tomorrow I am going to have my last Christmas Dinner in boarding school (yeah I know it is extremely early). I hope everything is going to be smooth.

-[removed]-

This morning I woke up around 8.30am and went for Mathematics remedial at 9am. I had brunch at 10.45am and then go back to my room for an hour nap. Then, I went for English remedial at noon. I was actually quite scared if he hates me because of the lift incident but fortunately, I think he does not take it into his heart and still willing to teach us as well as joke a bit. At 1pm, I went back to my room and sleep again for almost 2 hours. Right after that, I accompanied Felix to Clementi to send his document to UK for his university application document. We went to play LAN for 1.5 hours and I bought prawn takoyaki afterwards and heading back to boarding school. I think I should study tonight.

-[removed]-

I do not have the urge to study and to do well anymore even though this is the last lap. I think the main cause is the environment that I am in right now. I wish I could have a better environment in the future. I do not want to have this kind of environment anymore. I do envy those people who can have close friends and such. It is ok, a few more days left and I am done with Singapore.

PS: Wish the relevant people all the best in the future and do not give up!

HAZE

The Haze is overwhelming Singapore. It is not only Singapore but also within me. It is another type of haze. I cannot see anything.

After some times, I feel that I am actually living in a world of imagination; an imaginary world. This supposedly real world is too chaotic. Indeed, it is chaotic and therefore, it is real. I prefer to lock myself in my room watch Youtube, kdrama, go facebook-ing, and listen to music.

Some people are terminated while others are just a level below them.

Some people just never change. It is quite irritating to keep hearing those people complaining about this and that- even all those nitty gritty. Is not that those people who do not need people? I thought they can live alone without sound and living things?

I just cannot concentrate. There is no point of persevering or whatsoever. My brain is deteriorating and I am not focus. Moreover, there is no urge to do well in this final lap. I really and really hope that I can just go to work and at least earn my own salary. Otherwise, if I really need to go to pursue further studies, I do really hope to find a really good friend; one will do.

Is it this exams that bring all of these? or is it just life that causes all of these?

I hope that things will change after that final day and I will be able to enjoy my life afterwards.

:::::

Yesterday night was quite fun eating bak kwa together with my juniors and watched Youtube together as well as chatting. (Oh no, bak kwa is finished already!)

There will be hall dinner tonight (in this midst of HAZE, including in the hall). Hope that there will be nothing big happening tonight.

HAAAZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Another Day

I woke up in the morning and prepared to study at school library. I am still enjoying the bak kwa from Derek since yesterday :D HAHA. I went to library and read some Physics notes and then accompanied Ronald for lunch.

Apparently, Soni is also interested to buy the Korean fashion online (: woooots. Lets go go go! HEHS. Maybe we should order them at the end of this month~

After that was Physics and Economics remedial. Nothing much but Economics was quite enjoyable (: while Physics is hard as usual. After these remedials, I went to Maths class to do some correction for my Maths worksheets. During that time, I read my SGC and OMG, I mean, OMFG, the vocabulary is being escalated beyond heaven. Thanks to her, I mean it, but I do think it is a little bit exaggerating. HAHA.

So, now I am back in my room and maybe going to take a nap or read something before going for dinner.

Oh ya, this afternoon I meet one of my teachers who is involved in the elevator incident. It is kind of weird to see him after that incident. It is like, he has that kind of look. I do not know it will end up this way just because using the elevator for going one level up. I think get punished is better that to end up this way before graduation. Anyway, if it ends up like this, I do not have any other options though. I will just persevere as it is only a few more days away from the end of this portion of journey.

And there is interhall volleyball tonight- I do not think I am going for it. I will just stay in my room and do something else. Weewwwh.

FIN.

Return

After slept for so long yesterday, I managed to wake up quite early this morning- before madam came to my room.

Then, I decided not to go back to my bed but start arranging the songs that I have just got from Liauw and Iwe. There are MANY of them, like, MANY! :D

Then I went to Chinese ab class, eat mentos in class, went back to my room, online, and go out for lunch with Derek.

It has been AGES since the last time I met him. He does not change though :D HAHA. Apparently, we found out that I grew taller LOLS. We ate KFC and chatted so many stuff. It was great to see him again. He promises to meet me again before I leave Singapore. YAY. And, thank you for the bak kwa, Derek! Love it (:

It really feels so good to receive a gift

After that, I went to town to a temple in Chinatown- pray. Then, I went to usual place. I think this is the last time I am going there. It is like a world of Samsara. Now I have understood and there is no regret of going that way. This is the time to return and move on and find the next path.

I just came back from there and ate two pieces of bak kwa because I have not taken my dinner yet. I think I am going to sleep early today, yeah, tired.

:: :: ::

To think about friendship, I think, my dear FRIENDS, please mind your words (I am not referring to anyone) because sometimes your words may destroy someone's day. You keep and keep and keep complaining. You think I do not have my own problems? I should learn to stop complaining starting now onwards.

Sleeping Day

What a day!
Today I half-woke up at 7am when the lightning alarm in my school kept buzzing.
Then, right after those alarms, a SUPER LOUD lightning breaks the morning air which is followed by rain.
However, I was still lying on my bed until around 9.30am.

Then, I go to Facebook until 11am and had lunch at Broadway with Ronald and Brian.
HEHS. I ate Japanese food there - UNAGI set meal. It was rather good (: and the price is ok too.
After that, I went back to my room and back facebook-ing until 3pm: posting comments and chat.

I slept again from 3pm to 6pm :D HAHA!
Then I went for dinner just now at opposite road eating crispy noodle. OMG. I start to get bored of the food nearby my school, AGAIN.

I hope there is no prep time tonight.
I hope the witch does not call us to go down.
I think I will just read Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha in my room after this.

Basically, today is a sleep, eat, and online day.
What a day!

P.S: I really want to get some Korean outfits online. They look so good :D

Sixteen October Twenty-Ten.

:: VIDEO TAKING ::
I woke up this morning and directly went for video taking for Christmas Dinner Y6s Farewell Video. It is obvious that many people are not interested in it. I do appreciate the effort put by the organizing committee as well as the assistant hall tutor who are willing to sacrifice his weekend to help us taking the video. However, I was drained after three hours and had a headache, so I decided to stop and go back.

The concept of the video is interesting but yeah, the time spent can be used more efficiently if things are planned more properly and people cooperate more. Anyway, it is done. I hope it will be good.

:: CIRCLE ::
Yeah, I went to the place again and met the same person and make friend with him. I hope it is not a wrong decision. HAHA.

:: PIZZA HUT ::
Haha. Today's dinner was good! Ronald, Brian, Billy, and I went to Pizza Hut at Clementi (my first time going there and I am very seldom eating pizza in Singapore). Ronald and Brian were craving (and dying) for the cheese crust but unfortunately, it is unavailable there. LOLS. So, we ended up trying the 7 cheese in one pan. It is not bad but I think one slice is enough as the cheese is quite strong. I forgot to take pictures there O: We also ate the mushroom soup and Meat Galore pan pizza. The drink was good too (: APPLE SODA thingy.

After dinner, we went to the shops at the back of Clementi and took a look at the KOI. The queue is still CRAZY. So, we ended up buying Sweet Talk for extra drink. Then, we went home.

:: Sm*sh, 5 Bidadari, NLG, Lolipop ::
Billy is addicted with this!! LOLS.
Lolipop is entertaining.
5 Bidadari should go to the sea and drown themselves.
NLG only has one person who should become a star.
Sm*sh has a great song but I think they should not make a video. LOLS. *no offence*

:: MONOPOLY DEAL ::
After so long not playing Monopoly Deal, Ronald, Brian, Soni, and I played a few rounds and AMAZINGLY, I won FOUR TIMES IN A ROW. HAHAHAHA. Nice. The games were fun and hillarious too :D Thanks guys.

:: STUDY ::
I was chatting with my eldest brother and he assured me just to do my best for exam and enjoy it. Yeah, I do enlightened and I shared quite a bit of my thoughts. It is quite some time since the last time I chatted with him. Wish him all the best in his family and work.

:: SIBLINGS AND PARENT ::
I also wish all the best to my elder brother who went to Menado to work. I hope he enjoyed his work there.
And to my sister, I know that she is very busy and I do hope that she will stay healthy and work well and always remember her family (:
To my father, stay healthy and enjoy life :D

:: FASHION ::
I want korean jacket :D HAHA. I am so INTO fashion nowadays.
I think I should train my body intensively after IB! Yeeeeha!! *aspired*

NIGHT.

Day by Day

This life is getting more and more irritating.
Not only that, it is getting more and more disgusting.
Maybe that is the reason why people come out with the term FTW-
if only I can really FTW.

They bring us to this stream.
It was supposed to be blessing.
Even though it is an eye-opener,
I prefer my eyes to be opened through other ways.

The stream is now approaching to the edge of a waterfall.
They are now expecting us to plunge via the waterfall courageously.
If you are not qualified to plunge,
you will either be disqualified and brought to the other stream
or need to wait for around 365 days for the next group of mass with the same faith with you to plunge together.
I have seen this and it is true like what Mark Twain says that we actually should not let school interfere with our education.

They say this is a world of FREEDOM. Bullshit.
Soon will be the time to get out from this shit.

If you think about it again, there is a clear reason why only handful people who raise their hands when asked who have enjoyed this journey? You know why.

When you are down, people will give you word of encouragement or advice but all those are crap- they do not work. All those come from within which one has to find it themselves.

Aren't all these propaganda?
Education is underconsumed and has positive externality in consumption?
Think about it, the stress level and rate of suicidal of students, they still dare it has to be compulsory and has positive externality in consumption?
The fact that this theory applies, this shows that school is a FIRM and NOT a school.
Most ultimately, it is interfering one's education.

END.

I think I should take a nap. I need to go somewhere tomorrow-

Eighteen More Days

:: Remedials :: Library :: Maths :: KFC :: Study ::

It is coming real- the finishing line of this journey.

Nervous, happy, and worried.

There are a few days left for me to go to school even though the official last day of school is yesterday. I am treasuring those last moments when I still can see my friends around in school before the final exam. I wish everyone in my cohort all the best (:

Yeah, I need to study now.

I am back to my blog-

My head is now occupied with tonnes of things.

It is really great if I could share it with someone but until now, I still do not have one.

+Study

Everyone now is so busy preparing for the final IB exams which are 20 days away from now. Some are already busy with their university application where I am unsure about where to go, what to pursue, etc etc. I think I should focus on my exam first and think about the rest later. However, those things are still haunting no matter what. I really wish that I could go overseas to start my new life there, my life here is so messed up. Hong Kong should be a good option. I am looking forward to go back to my hometown- enjoy a portion of my life for a moment and try to get a job to earn some income during my break before continuing to university.

+Sin

Yeah, I really could not forgive myself until now for what I have done. It is not entirely wrong after all but there is still guilt left in my heart. I want to stop it but the irony is I feel rather happy there.

+Friends

It seems that I have a extremely high expectation about what a friend should be. I know it is unfair to my friends as I myself is not really a good friend for them. I think I should shut my mouth sometimes - just learn to accept and listen to them. Moreover, it is around two months before we are separated from each other. I hope we can still keep in touch and I am sure that by then, I will miss all of them. Please forgive me if I have ever made scars in your heart.

+Future

I had a difficult time sleeping most of the time recently. I keep thinking about the day when we receive our IB result in which my father will come to Singapore. I do not know why but I am scared.

+Figure

It is important to have a figure in life - role model or at least someone that you admire. It is weird that the closer I am to a person, the easier for me to slightly look down at them. Is it human nature or just me? It is even weird that I sometimes admire people who are purely strangers that I see on the road, restaurant, or anywhere. Other than that, I am highly affected by a character in a movie. I know that all of those in a movie is fake, they are just a fake plot. However, I still feel envy and such.

+Past

Past has increased the history collection of my life, and present has become past while future has gradually turns to present. I really missed my old self, innocent, not knowing anything about this world, chatting with my parents, and have a good self-confident. All the memories of taking pedicab and public transport with my mother and etc. Time cannot be turned back, I know. I just miss them so much.

+Ambition

This is a question that usually the adults asked us when we were still kids. All kind of answers are mentioned - such a big dreams. Are they fading away, and new dream rises? Is it true we can dream big and it will become true? Is not life is about finding money and not happiness? People say money is not important but they are still dying for seeking job to earn money. Is it true to follow our heart and pursue our dream, how about if those who are close to you do not agree?

So, when will I feel happy about my life? Is happiness temporary while sadness is permanent?

I think it is time for me to start studying. Night.

+++++

I am glad to know the juniors. They are great in their unique ways.

+++++

I cant wait to step down from most of my commitments. I am doing my best up to now.

+++++

Chinese and English are so difficult. Even if I want to learn, there are always other things that I need to do first. ):

+++++

Waiting my roommate to be back - I will be more motivated to study~

Two double oh nine is yesterday
Two oh ten starts today
Expected to be different
But it is the same
Just another normal day and special-wannabe.

When your cup is full,
You have two choices:
Let it overflow or
Make it leak before it overflow.

Once you leak it to a wrong person
no matter how close he / she is,
They are going to criticise you.

18 is an adult
Bah. Liar.
Decide your own path?
Double-liar.
Who on this earth can listen properly?

The one who approach is always the one that you expect the least to listen.
You don't like it.
You refuse.
They never give up.

This world is not supposed to give what we want until we die.
It is because at the end of the day, we, mortal creatures, only have one wish- to die; for many reasons.

Those people still don't understand.
The earlier you see the real world, or at least real world-alike, the earlier you know that you are like a wind:
Once come, the next second you are gone.

Human needs each other. True.
Human needs to respect each other. True.
Human has to fulfil each other needs. True.
This is what happen in real life. Wrong. Extremely wrong.

You say "happy new year",
They give you "what the"-look.
You smile and greet a stranger,
They give you "what the ffff"-glare.
Thanks world.

You just can't express what you want to express.

Inner beauty is more important than appearance. Right.
But good-looking person is better than others. Right.
But when you meet 10 strangers and choose one to be your friend, how do you choose? Tell me that you don't look at his/her appearance. Great liar.

Money is not everything.
Money can't buy everything.
But people is dying to find money.
So, money is important.

Who you are is what you think.

Have you crossed the yellow line?
Welcome to the real world of 2010.
