I was almost late for school today. I woke up on time, but had trouble finding my running gear. I remember specifically that my singlet was hanging to dry the day before. When I went down to check, it wasn't there, so I thought maybe it had been taken down and a new batch of wet clothes were being hung to dry. Then I went to check the place where the clothes are usually put after being taken down. It wasn't there either. I went around the whole house searching and I finally found it in a certain somebody's cupboard. I wasted a whole 10 mins just looking for it. My other clothes were stashed together.
I left my house around 8.25am. At the bus stop, I had to wait again. The bus came around 8.48am. It takes about 15mins or so to get from my house to my school. I managed to reach class at 9.05am. Luckily theres a 5 minute grace, so I was still on time. I totally didn't understand the whole Thermo lesson again... Dang! At the start of the lesson, Meiyun asked if I could lend her my Machine Elements notes. I said, huh? We don't have that lesson today. Then she said don't bluff. I really wasn't kidding. Why would I bring my notes for a particular module if I wasn't having any lessons on that day itself. Puzzled, I asked why she wanted it. Then she mentioned about the test we were having. THEN I remembered! We were having our final test for Machine Elements. Its 40%! Then I panicked a little... I was thinking whether to head back home to get my notes and skip E-commerce lecture, since I have attended all of the lectures, or to just go over to ELP to study the online notes. The second choice sounded better.
I didn't have to skip E-commerce because it ended early, as usual. I had about an hour of free time to go revise. While accessing it, the server had some problems. First, I couldn't connect to the net. Next, the online notes weren't working. SO I gave up, literally. I didn't want to do badly for the remaining 40%. I was a little fed up...
I did a little bit of my programming project till my next lesson. Yet, another project. We had to design a cassette holder or dispenser using our own dimensions on some computer software. I finishing designing all the parts but didn't have time to assemble them together. 2 hours passed so fast!
As I didn't have to go for programming, I had another 2 hours of free time till 4pm, the Machine Elements test. I tried looking up the online notes but it was STILL unavailable. I went to look for my friends to help me study for the test. THANK YOU JIAYUAN!!!! If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have gotten 40 marks! 40 marks as in plus the other questions... so I would probably get about 70% or more. Jiayuan taught me a few formulas that would definitely come out. True enough, they did. A pity there wasn't enough time for him to teach me more. I would have been able to get more marks. Thanks again Jiayuan. I really appreciate you helping me.
During the test, I knew some, I didn't know some. I left as soon as I finished doing the questions that I knew I could do and get a few marks from the ones I knew a little about. I handed in my test at 5pm and went to change for ISG.
YES! Theres still ISG! I was put in long jump. WEIRD! Anyway, I got third! YEAH!!! My first jump was only 4.77m. Everyone jumped a 5m plus jump except me and Fi. Fi and I were the 2 shortest among all the jumpers. The next 'shortest' person was Jimmy, whose height is about 1.85m. My second jump-4.93m, third-5.10m, fourth-4.68, and finally, fifth-5.18m. My best jump, 5.18m, and also my last jump isn't THAT good in IVP standard, BUT, I didn't train for long jump AT ALL! Its the first time in my whole entire life doing it. When I was in atheletics, all I did were track events. I never did any field events till now. I'm training for pole vault but NEVER trained for long jump before. I guess the other jumpers like Jimmy and Alvin were like me too. I won Jimmy just by a mere 2cm. Guess I was lucky. I later found out that there was still 4X100m relay, and I'm in it. I'll be running the first leg. Thats exciting! I haven't ran first leg since I was sec 1. Congrats to Naish too for getting third in the 5000m. Congrats to all the others who won too, Kevin, Jon, Fi...
I didn't go for pole vault training after that. After my long jump, I went to talk to my PV coach. I told him about the distance I jumped in long jump. I said to him, if only I could clear that height for PV... HAHA! He was a little angry that Jimmy and I weren't going for training. Jimmy had a last minute thing so he had to go off. I just didn't feel too good. In fact, I wasn't feeling ok before I did the long jump. At least I got a third, so my efforts weren't wasted.
I was hungry. I HAD to eat something. I called up Dan, Daus, Ian, March, Ruz and Ros. Ruz didn't pick up. March was too lazy to come out and his mom already bought for him dinner, Daus ate already but wanted to play CS, Ian was in town, and Roslyn didn't pick up either. Dan was the only one left and available. I was supposed to meet Rudy actually, but he had a 'last minute' friend's birthday to celebrate. Bloody Rudy! So last minute!
Dan and I had a bit of a communication breakdown. I called him at 7pm. So I thought he would have reached about 7.15pm. I told him a.s.a.p, but I THINK he heard it as 7.30. My fault. Anyway, he was still LATE... He came at 7.40. HAHA! So I still had a right to be angry with him.
We went to S11 to eat. The stupid drink uncle is so irritating. When we got there, Dan told him teh ping, I ordered pepsi twist, then the uncle asked Dan again what he wanted to drink when he already told him teh ping in the beginning. HAHAHA! Dan said we shouldn't have ordered from him because we would have to wait quite a while for our drinks. When he said that, I saw the uncle walking towards our table with our drinks. HAHA! DAN!! HOWEVER, the uncle brought the wrong drink for me. In a way, Dan was half right. HAHA! The uncle took a few orders before coming back with my drink. This time, the uncle forgot about my drink! URGH! I was thirsty! By the time he got my drink, I probably would have finished my food. After QUITE a while, he came with my drink... -.-
I wanted to watch TV at home so we both went home after dinner. STUPID IAN! Anyhow give info. Smallville is at 7.30pm, not 8.30pm! I called Ian to ask him what time is smallville showing. He said 8... but I remebered either charmed or smallville was at 7.30pm, so the other had to be at 8.30pm. So I guessed it was at 8.30pm, thats why I had dinner with Dan. When I got home and switched on the TV, it was charmed. IAN!!!
I watched some cartoons on cartoon network in the end. I eventually got bored and went to bathe.
Now I'm hungry... again. Damn! I'm working tommorrow. At least I can collect my pay. HEHE! Cooking time...

I didn't go to school today. No lessons. I don't have to go for Machine Elements lab and programming. I was suppose to run for ISG but didn't either. I had a little tummy ache and I just didn't want to run. I called one of my team mates for track and asked if theres relay. He said all were filled up. All the more it made me not want to run. For thursday, I still have electronics lecture and tutorial. I think I will go for the lecture then join Dan after that. Probably skip the 1 hour tutorial.
So I met Dan, March, Kong and Ruz for dinner. Sort of. Only Dan and Ruz ate. Kong ate already, March and I were just too full. We went to play pool. We played till about 10.
Which hole? Kong's XXXXX....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Kong went home first while the rest went to RK for prata. March and I didn't have dinner so we really wanted to eat something. While deciding what to eat and looking at the menu, we all noticed a FEW spelling mistakes which just tickled us totally.
$7 for black pepper STICK?? HAHAHA! It was supposed to be steak. HAHA! ALL the menus are like that. Gotta go sleep now, if I want to be able to wake up at 6.30am...

The weather these few days have been weird. It RAINS heavily then becomes really sunny. I HATE rain. I get wet. Rain is sadening. I don't know whats so romantic about it. The most, you get 2 people squeezing together. Come on, you can do that in the bath tub or when you are having sex or something. Of all places to squeeze. HAHA! I'm being a JERK! You play in it, you get sick. When it comes, you can't go anywhere. You need an umbrella or raincoat. Like the world doesn't already have enough water. 3 quarters! Plus Tsunamis and all. People fall ill when theres weather like this. DANG!
Yesterday night, I didn't have dinner as I had training. I finished about 8pm and went home with Naish. When I reached home, I had to bathe first as I felt very uncomfortable even though I bathed after training at the stadium. I had to pack my room after that as my clothes were all around. I was so hungry. I don't know how I could still cook pasta. HAHA! It took me about 30 mins or so. I used the honey with onion and green peppers and cooked the pasta with olive oil. I added too much olive oil so it was a little oily. It was really good. I didn't know what sauce to use at first. Then I remembered pasta goes well with chilli, the aglio olio. So I replaced the chilli with green peppers. I used that sauce to marinate the chicken and it turned out great.
I managed to fill my stomach and even prepared some extra for my breakfast the next day. Luckily I did. I woke up early today and was hungry, as usual. What a LOVELY way to start my day. On my way to school, the sun was shining brightly. After electronics, the floor was wet. I later found out that it rained between 8 to 9 plus. Koh let us off early and I have an even longer break till mechanical design tutorial. We were getting back our ICA for Mohr's circle. I made many careless mistakes. It was so simple to score and fail. One guy got the coordinates wrong for the points and got 0/20. Damn!
I met Daus for lunch after that. We usually eat with Seb but he has his physio and all. Probably with girls or something. HAHA! I had another 1 hour before Thermo class starts. I was just an hour. After that, I could go home. YEAH!
Now, the weather is so hot. It ain't sunny, its scorching. Humid too. I still have to work later. KC needed people today. Theres probably some function.
ISG is tomorrow! Luckily it starts late, but a little too early. Its starts around 3pm, thats when the sun is really HOT! I don't want it to rain either. I just want the sky to be clear. I will be running 100m and 200m, hopefully. Don't know if my name is down. I hope I win something...

Saturday
A day where it only seemed like it had 12hours. The reason, I start work at 3pm. Usually, whenever I have something to do after 12pm, it seems like I have already wasted half the day, though only 1/3 has passed. I worked 7 hours straight till 10pm. I have done 18 hours before so this was no biggy. I went to play soccer later till about 11.30pm. My legs were tired. Still, they could 'move'. After bathing, I fiddled with my laptop before having the prata and mutton curry I brought home. Thanks Muti! It was DELICIOUS! The mutton was so tender. Though I was full, I knew I would get hungry the next morning. Sure enough, I was.
Sunday
I woke up on time, but not early so I didn't have time for breakfast. I was deciding whether to get something to eat before starting work, but as time passed, the hunger died off.
Things were normal during my 6 hours of work. My legs hurt a little. I didn't want to go home so early so I asked if March and the rest were free. Dan had a wedding. March had a project, which he had finished. I don't know about the rest as I didn't contact them. Rudy was just too lazy to come out. Eventually, March said he didn't want to go out. Save money. Ok then. So I headed home.
I guess I won't be sleeping early though I have to. 2 more hours till Las Vegas. Nikki Cox is HOT! Ed's wife, Mrs D is HOT too, for her age.
I HATE everything YOU like. You NEVER did trust me. You NEVER did BELIEVE me! I DON'T want to TALK to YOU. I DON'T want to LISTEN to you. I DON'T CARE what you think. You DIDN'T CARE what I THOUGHT. I wasn't THINKING at all. NOW I AM!!! You CAN'T HEAL MY WOUND!!! You NEVER WILL!!!
Saturday, July 22, 2006
Yeah! The last day of the week. Today seemed to pass really fast. I had 3 projects handed to me today, which had to be completed by next week. On top of that, I had to hand in my log book for electronics. I had to do it at the expense of the other lessons, thus, missing out. DAMN! I DID manage to finish my log book, then handed it up personally. It was a huge weight off my shoulders, literally. My bag was still very heavy. The funny thing was, that it wasn't the laptop, as I was carrying it in my hand. HAHA! It seemed like my bag was twice the weight of the bloody laptop. 4 THIN books, my running gear, and the adaptor and mouse for my laptop. Didn't know why it was so heavy.
I really enjoyed pole-vault training today. I also just found out that, ISG(Inter School Games) is in a weeks time. DAMN! I managed to 'tweak' the pole even more, meaning, I bent it more for more recoil. My coach said its called 'POLE-ABUSE'. HAHA! I got a dang blister on my palm between my ring finger and middle finger. Thats a sign. Should I get married or should I just F*** around. HAHAHA! I left early to join March, Ian and Daus for CS at HT. Dan and Ruz joined us later. FINALLY, all 6 of us could play together. 3 VS 3. It was REALLY FUN!
DAN! Take it easy. What are WE friends for?? If you EVER need anything, you know what to do ya..?? No point getting so worked up over minor things. Things are hard now but you HAVE TO take it 1 step at the time...
Today was CS extension plug day!
We decided to play CS. It was a very last minute thing. All of us were almost broke... Maybe not ALL.
I told March to bring a 2 slot extension plug, as we were accomadating for 6 people. I was usually the one who brought the extension plug, and it only had 4 slots. He brought a 4 slot! Good enough... Daus brought a 4 slot plug too! HAHA! Next, Ruz came with a multi plug. Its really ridiculous, the things we do as a group. ITS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS!
Ian had to go off early, as he lives in Thomson. March couldn't go home too late. Dan had to catch the last bus and I had to be home early too. So we ended prematurely... again. We WILL do it again another time. I guess during the holidays. Next few weeks are all projects, assignments, test and exams.
I'm hungry now. Gonna prepare something to eat. MUNCH!

Some scribbles my friend and I noticed on the wall in one of the lecture halls.
Monday, July 17, 2006
During Mechanical Design lecture, I kept dozing of at the beginning of the lecture. Guess its the lunch. I managed to stay awake by drawing some 'designs' on my hand. It work though. HAHA! My silly friend copied me and drew a watch on his wrist. HAHA! He dared me to leave the drawings on till my training ended. So I did. However, my perspiration helped me out a little. HAHA!
Training starts at 5.30pm but the lesson ends at 6pm. Today there was only Jimmy and me. We had the coach all to ourselves. HAHA! Having not train for 3 weeks, I almost forgot how to pole vault. I forgot the feeling of soaring in the air and clearing the bar. I missed pole vaulting! After planting, we went down for weight training. My arms were already exhausted. I could barely do weights. DAMN! I got a muscle strain on my inner thighs. Couldn't bend down properly. Now my whole upper body is aching, especially the shoulders.
This is why I started blogging again...
After Maths was Semestral project. We were suppose to design some pulley or shaft mechanism... I think. I obviously had no interest on doing THAT, so I playd CS and made my friends go crazy with laughter. I took somemore pictures of my 'creation'...
I used the sticks from the food I bought and the cup from the corn to make some 'holder'. Then I just placed the can on top. No purpose really. HAHA!
After lunch, we had about 45 mins to the next lecture. Oh, throughout lunch, I was practically laughing my ass off at the slightest thing I thought of. My friends laughed too, but they weren't laughing with me because of the silly 'thing', instead, they were laughing because my laughter was just too contagious. HAHA!
I MANAGED to get up on time this morning despite having only 4 hours of sleep, or less. I NEED at least 6! My body is weird! If I go to bed at 8pm, I would wake up at 2am. HAHA! So the best time to sleep... 12.45am. Like that, I would have exactly 6 hours of sleep before I got to get up and get ready for my 8am lessons...
Speaking about lessons, I was SO SO SO BORED during one of the lectures and a few other lessons, I took 'pictures' of myself. After that, I would laugh to myself after seeing the ridiculous poses.
For Maths, here are the goodies...

Its confirmed, I'm ill. Dang flu virus. You just won't let me off for a month eh? I still went to work as usual, but I told my manager I wasn't feeling well, which I was at that moment and couldn't work the night shift, so he let me go home.
After a while, I guess I felt better. Ruz, Daus, and Dan were gonna play CS in the evening till late. So I decided to join them for dinner and CS. We played till around 1 plus, reaching 2. As usual, we got too caught up in the game we lost track of time. Dan, however was the unlucky one as he stays in Toa Payoh and he missed the last bus. The rest of us stayed around the area so getting home wasn't a problem for us. DAN! Move to BISHAN!
At about 1.25am, my Mom suddenly called me. I thought she would have been asleep by then. She asked where was I and what time I was coming home. So our fun was cut short. Besides, Ruz had to work at 10 in the morning the next day and Dan had training also in the morning the next day. So we reluctantly decided to stop.
On my way home ALONE, I was practically spooking myself out. From the ITE through the stadium, weird thoughts kept coming to mind. One of which was that I would see someone running on the track in the stadium at that time of the night. To make things worse, the gate at the side of the stadium which is usually close and locked after 6pm everyday was opened and not locked. That really got my mind thinking. Next came the stupid carpark. I again imagined that there would be someone there watching me from afar. I walked past that route so many times since I was in sec 1. It still gives me the creeps at night. I watched a show on discovery channel recently and it said that fear is generated by the mind and not the surrondings itself. Put yourself in a place, a path you walk by during day. Seems normal. Now imagine walking past at night. Though it might seem the same, your mind starts to generate 'fear juice' or adrenaline which... just SCARES THE HELL OUT OF YOU! HAHAHAHA!
Sigh, I really miss her. Its been almost 2 weeks since I last saw her or went out with her. Its just so difficult to get her at her free time, having her parents nagging at her and all...
Saturday, July 15, 2006
This was how the bloody weather was when I reached school. Its raining heavily actually. At the bus stop near my house, there wasn't a single rain cloud in sight... yet. As it WAS quite sunny at my area, I thought I wouldn't be needing a sweater as friday's lessons are mostly in SUPER COLD classrooms and since it was quite sunny... Well, I was wrong.
So then lessons went on as usual. Some lessons dragged on a lil longer while others finished early. I have this classmate whose perfume is so 'repulsive', to me that is. It just makes me wanna sneeze. The thing is that he doesn't feel it, or for that matter, anyone else. Another smell I can't stand is the after-smoke smell . Its the smell thats left on the smoker and he carries it around wherever he goes, especially BESIDE me. To make things worse, it smells like the kind of cigarettes those old ah-peks smokes. UGRH!
During U-G class, we had to do some model assembly on the com. It was pretty easy, once I toggled around with the stupid toolbar. I spent the rest of the time playing CS. I took the 'liberty' of installing it into the school's coms. A pity I couldn't change the settings of the wireless LAN. If not, we could play among each other.
I went home after lessons to change first before meeting the guys for dinner and a movie. BUDGET! We all ate at KSL. "2 prata, 1 kosong". OK! I tried to bluff Shalih, Ian and Daus about the tickets availabilty. Kong had already gotten them in the morning, but still, we sat in the first few rows. Really surprising, even though he bought the tix around 10am. Eventually, they were told about the joke and the joke was ruined. DAMN!
Pirates was GREAT! Twist to the end. SAVVY! March, Shalih and Ian headed home first as they were all tired or had to catch the last bus. Kong sent his GF home while Dan, Daus and I went to Mac for supper. Before that, 'Kimmy' was at the J8 mac. 'Kimmy' was supposedly some 'fictionous' character that March made up. According to him, 'Kimmy' came to talk to them and wanted to introduce Daus to her daughter. Any normal person wouldn't believe that, especially coming from March. HAHA! Sorry March... Then she was there, but I still wouldn't believe the story March told me. Shes just OVERLY friendly.
While at mac, someone suggested playing CS tomorrow night. I had work till 11pm and probably wouldn't be able to make unless they play till late, which would in turn affect me as I had to work at 12pm the next day. I might go, depending on the circumstaces.
I think I'm probably falling ill again, sore throat, flu and all. Think it might be the common tests. I did fairly poor. HAHA! It seems that most people did so. WE shall all do better next time...

I decided to start blogging again because life is just too BORING and I want everyone to know how BORING MY LIFE is...
