oh man, after 2 days of "fun" (does tuitioning people FOR FREE count?), it's back to school for a week! of returing prelim papers, and traumatised faces, and roller-coaster mood swings.
at least it'd be for just a week. although our freedom from academics will soon be over.

can't believe just the first day of returning to school and i have so much admin to attend to. scholarships, thinking about scholarships, cca records, blah blah blah are on the list. man that is one heck of a way to start off the (short) school week.

but, PE TOMORROW whoo. heard the teachers will be joining zomg.

gonna get an early night! *crosses fingers for tomorrow*

am glad that prelims are over!
but like mr jeremy ng says, it only signifies the progression to the next (and final) stage of revision. AH.

before that though, ITS TIME TO PLAYYY
surprisingly, the urge to go all out and play like a madman is not that strong. i guess it's true that after awhile, the usual hangouts and attractions you go to become attractive no more. i think we all have an inherent tendency towards novelty. man if you don't find your passion it's really hard to stay dedicated to something. which i guess, is one more reason for me to find less fault in those who seem to have short-lived interests in certain things that i find passion in. different people have different passions and it would not be fair to insist that "one size should fit all".

anyway, the post-exam me should supposedly be less boring/deep thinking/serious and just a tad crazier at least right? SO THERE THAT CRAZY ENOUGH FOR YA? ok, it obviously didn't work.

oh ok just to blog a little bit about today's class outing to sentosa...
first and foremost, I HATE RAIN.
especially when it comes when an outdoor ball game on the beach is planned.
3 hours long rain omg.
at least checking out RWS was cool enough. not super duper cool, but interesting/new/not too bad kind of cool. and marche was an interesting place to makan at too!
can't say very much else, other than the fact that we got major wet. SIGH.
i believe future class outings after As will be better than this =)

and now, off to dota, a nice LONG sleep, and day 1 of 2 marking days (ie lepak days).

can't believe that i'll be spending part of it on academics again (teaching/tuitioning other people, not me mugging my own stuff!), gosh.

please listen to song below! way gooood.


李聖傑 & 林隆璇 - 你那麼愛她

直到爱消失你才懂得
去珍惜身边每个每好风景
只是他早已离去
直到你相逢
他早已经不在对你留恋
最后的你
开始了一段挣扎

你那么爱他
为什么不把他留下
为什么不说心里话
你深爱他
这是每个人都知道啊

你那么爱他
为什么不把他留下
是不是你有深爱的两个他
所以你不想再让自己无法自拔

直到爱消失你才懂得
去珍惜身边每个每好风景
只是他早已离去
直到你相逢
他早已经不在对你留恋
最后的你
开始了一段挣扎

你那么爱他
为什么不把他留下
为什么不说心里话
你深爱他
这是每个人都知道啊

你那么爱他
为什么不把他留下
是不是你有深爱的两个他
所以你不想再让自己无法自拔

guess the time now!

3am.

surprisingly...there are a fair number of peeps online, msn/facebook or otherwise.

had a really tough night tussling with physics. omg the mjc mcq paper is just. OMG. physics is not that easy after all (although i think i knew that since long time ago in sec3 already, makes me wonder why i still took physics).

lahlahlah random thought: i think i tend to look at people with overly personal lenses. and i feel too strongly about some stuff oh no that's not such a good thing now.

something to be happy about (for rui en fans at least):

feels good to have slacked for a day!
...ok, i don't really need reminding that prelims are not over yet.

still, i get the feeling that i'm ridiculously relaxed throughout this whole period. sheesh. i guess results will show whether that works or not!

chinese songs are really good. somehow i have a penchant for chinese rather than english songs. and i really like the chinese language too, despite the fact that more and more people aren't really caring about it anymore, let alone speak it. it would be nice to converse in chinese around town, you know? i don't mean just to like stall/shop owners and the occasional auntie/uncle/ahgong/ahma you meet on the street either, i mean with your friends and family.

jam hsiao (xiao jing teng) is super imba! his vocals are sick. love his songs too...

oh and i got new specs. ok actually that was stuff from 2 weeks ago, but i only started wearing them today cause it's a little uncomfortable wearing them. the optician says it's cause the new specs is super sharp and the light intensity is super strong (old specs tend to "yellow", whatever that really means in proper english/science), so things feel a little weird...hope now till friday is enough time to adapt to it! if not i dunno what i'm gonna do.

shall continue to enjoy the benefits of youtube (almost everything and anything can be found there seriously) hahaha...later!

another week of prelims have passed, and now it's 4 more papers to go!

really thank God for the blessed week i've had; true that not all papers went excellently, or that i came out feeling like i'll get into dean's list, but it did at the least feel decent enough to be just a little bit happy for the moment (at least until papers are returned).

other than that...life's not been fanciful nor exciting. unless you count mugging for chem and physics planning, i will be so murdered by those come monday and tuesday argh.
especially physics, totally hate safety precautions grr.

slacked enough for today, time to get cracking again! (oh my that rhymes. unintended, really!)


saw on a tv ad about classic drama OSTs. which reminded me of this from years back; the drama first showed in 1999! that was 11 years ago wow. and after 11 years i still think the drama is mighty awesome. awesome shows will be awesome shows. it's a pity that we don't have too many of such shows nowadays...

check it out man! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_oyh7r_y8Y&feature=related
it's the drama OST version but the full one on youtube as well. just google the song title below =)

if anyone has the song please please please tell me ok!


歌曲:我吃得起苦
歌手:动力火车


走出去就有路
寻见了就有福
拥有了一切都进了包袱
思念是带不走的

天空疑云密布
心中翻腾起伏
虽将飘摇前途仍模糊
此地会是我衣锦还乡处

飘洋过海我吃得起苦
相信天无绝人之路
现实有咒诅梦里有祝福
有缘同舟风雨同渡

顶着烈日当空眼底有迷雾
不能再让懦弱困住
日子多坎坷命运有变数
只盼久旱逢甘露
走出去就有路
寻见了就有福
拥有了一切都进了包袱
思念是带不走的

天空疑云密布
心中翻腾起伏
虽将飘摇前途仍模糊
此地会是我衣锦还乡处

飘洋过海我吃得起苦
相信天无绝人之路
现实有咒诅梦里有祝福
有缘同舟风雨同渡

顶着烈日当空眼底有迷雾
不能再让懦弱困住
日子多坎坷命运有变数
只盼久旱逢甘露
飘洋过海我吃得起苦
相信天无绝人之路
现实有咒诅梦里有祝福
有缘同舟风雨同渡

顶着烈日当空眼底有迷雾
不能再让懦弱困住
日子多坎坷命运有变数
只盼久旱逢甘露

what a week.

i think yesterday must have been one of the first (if not the first) times that i had to make a trip to the toliet in the midst of a test. a VERY important test - econs prelims.
and if you were wondering, there was big business to be done, so yup.
thank God that i managed to finish writing on the dot more or less nevertheless!

and chem h3 prelims were just. it kind of re-defined "hard" for me in a very real way. to be honest, many questions do seem to be solvable; it's not really that much different from a tough h2 paper, if i were to give it some kind of a benchmark. but oh well, am hoping to be blessed with a merit! if not a pass would be satisfactory too..

40DOF yesterday went pretty well too and i was so happy with the turnout, despite the fact that it was after econs paper/in the midst of prelims and i was worrying that no one would want to come. but 6 turned up and really, PTL! great things can and do happen =)

i realise that for most of my posts since like forever, i've been starting out in a similar manner, talking about stuff in a similar manner, ending in a similar manner. as the number of posts grow i find it more and more difficult to think of some creative or new way to post. i know that after i type this, the style of my future posts won't change radically. so this is just something of a personal thought that i wanted to get off my chest (and to prepare any readers out there for more monotony and homogenity, oh well).

is it the same in life too? you hang out with the same people too long, end up doing the same old stuff, talking about the same old few topics. is that why life/friends get boring after awhile, and we need novelty to feel constantly renewed? routine can suck big time at times, i concede that. but how much can we really do to break out of it? like it or not, we're always stuck in some kind of routine. isn't the trick then, to find meaning and enjoyment in the routine that you're so used to? probably then, routine won't seem routine anymore.

i guess this isn't quite the time to hypothesise about stuff like this though? pressing issues lie ahead..namely prelims, prelims and more prelims. oh and then of course, As. will look forward to that day, and keep optimistic!

awesome song below! never really followed bai se ju ta myself (caught a few scenes of it occasionally as my sister used to watch it), but apparently it's pretty good! shall go catch it on youtube after As.

曾经太年轻(白色巨塔片尾曲)
蓝又时
白色巨塔原声带
作词:方文山 作曲:黄韵玲 编曲:钟兴民


窗外风铃一直不安静
风在摇晃不安的宿命
我聆听
你回忆经过的声音

开始旅行寂寞很清醒
我在靠近过去的边景
有些恋人只是
路过时的风景

曾经太过年轻
却绝对真心
我给的爱是种任性
不懂花开只一次的爱情

曾经太过年轻
泪纯真透明
你的坚定
我仍然还
相信

开始旅行寂寞很清醒
我在靠近过去的边景
有些 恋人只是
路过时的风景

曾经太过年轻
却绝对真心
我给的爱是种任性
不懂花开只一次的爱情

曾经太过年轻
泪纯真透明
你的坚定
我仍然还
相信

直到如今你说爱我的那封信
我一直都收藏著
摺叠用心
让誓言乾净

曾经太过年轻
在人海飘零
那些关於我的事情
总有你紧紧跟随的声音

曾经太过年轻
泪纯真
透明
你的坚定
我仍然还
相信

man i must be one of those crazy people who are still up at 2am (and blogging away).

well, it's effectively 1 day to prelims and hmm, i can't say i feel most prepared. in some ways i'm lucky that i'm not a girl, since prelims are THAT much more important to them, for scholarships and all that.
just do my best and let God do the rest, eh?

maybe that's just how things are meant to be.

oh and the channel 8 9pm show Unriddle ended today. the way the last 15min were filmed was really weird though. and the last bit seemed like abit of a cliffhanger; hmm i do hope there'd be a sequel or something! should be good.
and rui en was just SO chio in the last scene there. sigh, good things don't last.

am glad that i got quite abit of GP sorted out today though! it's kinda ironic that i waited 2 years to do so, but ah better late than never right?

to quote mr ali: "it's just a piece of paper; go there and show it who's boss!"

indeed, we will.
