Halloween totally ROCKS!

Yeah, its totally awesome, man, i've not had such fun for such a long time.
Haha, we went trick-or-treat at the houses beside the American school. Basically, its a large community with all sorts of bungalows and houses, all of a different design and they were rented to the american families studying there.

Lols, they really decorated their houses, with cobwebs hanging all over the gates and skeletons hanging on the basketball stands and inflatable jack-o-lanterns and casper sort of ghosts. Then, they have people dressed up in really fantastically humurous and well, not exactly scary, but gorgeous costumes, handing out sweets to everyone. The houses are basically open up to everyone and throngs of people just walk inside to get candies, shouting ' trick-or-treat' or 'Happy Halloween'.

They are all dressed up in all sorts of costumes, ha, you get samurais, loads of witches (complete with large sillicone boobs), catwoman, superman, spiderman( the angmoh guy has the figure to go in that too), red devils( in Man U jerseys(roll eyes) with horns and tridents), princesses,gladiators, vampires( complete with make up, blood, fangs and nails), jedis, yup, pirates( copy me one), gorillas, cross dressing and yeah, just the plain ghouls and freaks. There were some that are quite rojak too. Haha, yeah, that's their costume, a rojak. Ha, ok, lame joke!

Ha, i went as a pirate, and i collected lots and lots of candies and chocolate. Haha, can u believe it, one of the houses gave packets of instant noodles as well... Lols. I tink i collected the most, then we all traded among ourselves. Ha, did i mention that a young caucasion boy tried to bully me into giving him my candy.

Well, there were actually 3 of them, and they came up to us, saying that they only managed to collect 2 candies and asked me to give them mine. Of course, naturally protective of the candies i had spent the night collecting, and not believing that rottenly lame story, i told them to buzz off and its just too bad that they only got 2 candies. Then this dastardly kid, grabbed my sword and tried to snatch the candies in my basket. Ha, i shoved him off and said " F*** off punk", then he backed off, i tink a little taken aback. I don't normally scream expletives at people, unless they really pissed me off, which happens in this case. Ha, afterall, i'm the eldest there and i got to protect the others from being bullied.

All this brought back memories...

I missed the days when i lived there. I missed my basketball stand and that swing. I missed cycling along the tree-lined pavements everyday after school. I missed the street soccer and basketball matches we had with the other kids in the neighbourhood. I missed jumping on the hopscotch we drew ourselves with chalk on the road in front of the house. I missed the pot-luck parties held at the lawns by the neighbours during festivals. I missed those beer and barbeque and mahjong cum blackjack sessions during chinese new year and christmas. I missed the white retriever by the name of Elli which lived opposite, whom i think had a secret crush on chowchow.

That was my childhood. And i missed it.

I missed those carefree and innocent days when i could just come home and play.(haha, that probably explains why i only got 250 for PSLE and am always the last few in sec1 and 2)

All these are now replaced with maths tutorials, essays and pw, and more tutorials and essays and even more pw.


I missed my childhood.


A fragment of that memorable period of my life is the trick-or-treat parties.

Therefore,
Halloween totally ROCKS!

Tried teaching xinyi how to play squash just now for more than 2 hours. I almost vomited blood.

She holds the squash racquet like a golf club and could not even serve the ball despite my coaching for 2hrs. And she planned to join the school team. Whew!

Yeah, tomolo's chinese clao, but i'm still stuck at the alphabet 'D' of the chinese handbook, which is like the 4th alphabet and there are 24 alphabets altogether. And its 9pm now. And my arm is aching like crazy from playing too much. And i'm watching red bean girl. The worst thing is that i'm making no effort to go and study.

Haha, speaking of chinese, na bing was trying to teach me chinese on friday morning before assembly, and ciaai and chiu peng were there. I think they are trying to learn from my tuition session. Ha, in the end, all 3 of them were trying to teach me. And no thanks to the constant exclaimations about how unbelievable is the fact that i'm taking chinese'A'.

Great, now the whole world knows how absymal my chinese is.

She tried teaching me and Mel during training again later, dunno some chinese phrase " tian jiang zhong ren yu...", alamak, i forgot again. Her chinese is like so pro, i think she should take HHHHHcl instead of Hcl.

Well, good luck to everyone who's taking clao tomolo. I think i needed plenty of it to scrape through. Haha, can't wait for tomolo night. Its Halloween and we are going trick-or-treat. I think i'm going to dress up as a pirate, but i can't find my sword and eyepatch. Haha, noble wants to be a mummy, and we planned to wrap him up in lots of toilet paper. Lols. We planned to go and watch Zorro after that. They've all invited their friends, well, except me. Too bad, they can't make it. There's training tomolo too. Wow, its going to be real packed tomolo. How on earth am i going to hand in I & R on tuesday?
Well, i hope cheng will be in a good mood on tuesday.

That's all folks!

In Madagascar,

alex to marty:

Happy birthday to you!
You live in a zoo!
You look like a monkey!
You smell like one too!

Hahas! Happy B'day Ade!

Running is therapeutic.

Enough said.

Many people are retained this year, especially in my class. From 25 to 21? Each and everyone of them is important to the class, especially some. Haizz, netball too.

They cried.

No, not the retainees, but the ones who treasure and feel for them.

I did not cry.

I just felt sorry, with a tinge of sadness. I guess that's because those who really matters to me did quite well.

Somehow 3905 won't be the same. Ever again.

Although Friday was a sad day, but i felt 3905 was so united. You could feel the true warmth that radiated out from everyone.

I dunno how to comfort them, but i really wish them all the best. I will remember all the smiles and laughter.

Sigh! I dunno how to go on, so there will be no conclusion.

Au Revior!

How do i describe that sense of relief that permeates throughout your mind, the euphoria that floods it and the astonishment that throws you off, when your math teacher tells you at 7:25am that you passed your math.

I was exhilirated. naturally. And i jumped with joy. literally.
I was absolutely taken aback, i mean after counting the marks of the questions that I actually attempted and among them able to do, the most i could get is 50.

In fact, now i worry that Mdm Ng had made a mistake in the counting of the marks for my paper. Well, tomorrow's monday. The big day. I fear most for chinese.

I didn't do too well for the language section and am like the last few of the cohort, but nevermind, i've tried my best and i think that's what's most important. Therefore, i am contented. Happy in fact. Ha.

I love sundays. Especially when it is rainy like today. And i love the idyllic bliss which i'm submerged in.

Yup, gtg. Going to celebrate xinyi's birthday. Mummy bought her a large Hagen Daz belgian choc ice cream cake topped with scrumptious bits of brownies and fudge. Oh My God! I'm going to faint. Its going to be a chocolatety night. Well, anyway, i told mummy that its unfair that xinyi got an ice cream cake, albeit a large hagen daz one too. Ha, then xinyi got angry and said that that's becos i got 3 cakes and she only got 2. Haha, she's rather petty if you ask me.

So long folks.
Let's pray.
Pray for tomorrow.
That it will a happy one.
That everyone will get promoted
And no one feels unhappy.

Wahooo...

Promos is finally over. The last paper ends today. Somehow, i dunno why but when i came home and there isn't the need to study, i just feel kinda lost.

Ha, but that feeling didn't last long at least until when i popped in 'Tian guo de jie ti' aka 'stairway to heaven'. So there i was, exercising my long inactive tear glands away.

Oh My God! Its so darn sad. I've not cried for like... a long time and there i was, on the couch snivelling and bawling away. Ha, xinyi was more sensitive. Haha, she cried throughout the show. It was quite a sight. LOLS, we were passing the box of tissue paper and a bottle of eyedrops between us. Haha, how dramatic can it get...

Anyway, i watched till it was too unbearable. They had gotten rid of all the shadows of the past and were heralding a new future, then suddenly... and taihua sacrificed himself for her.

Gosh, if a man like Taihua really exists, he would be the greatest man alive. The noblest and most devoted of all. Some may feel that he's silly, to sacrifice so much for a girl who will never reciprocrate his love.

But that's love, isn't it.

I wonder if i would ever have the courage or the capacity to love as selflessly, or would anyone else in this world. Well, I'm sure there are. After all dramas are but a reflection of life and life is a stage where we play out our roles.

Anyway, after i could not bring myself to watch any longer,just went for a 2hr gym session followed by rollerblading. Am totally shagged now, but hehex, we're gonna watch 'The Myth' later at 9:30. Yawns, who cares about school tomolo.
Grrr, the angriest part was that xinyi had the entire week off, cos' her school has exams for the music and art and foreign languages people.
That's the benefit of being in a SAP school, but then Zhonghua is incomparable. Its where i spent the most formative 4 years of my life. Its the moulder of my life and had taught me things nowhere else is able to. Its the dwelling of treasured memories. Its irreplacable and will never be.

Well, so long for now, its back to self-indulgence again...
Hehex, after all, promos are over.

Finally.

I am bored,

therefore...

Your Inner Child Is Naughty

Like a child, you tend to discount social rules.It's just too much fun to break the rules!You love trouble - and it seems that trouble loves you.And no matter what, you refuse to grow up!

How Is Your Inner Child?

Your Career Type: Enterprising

You are engertic, ambitious, and sociable.Your talents lie in politics, leading people, and selling things or ideas. You would make an excellent: Auctioneer - Bank President - Camp DirectorCity Manager - Judge - LawyerRecreation Leader - Real Estate Agent - Sales PersonSchool Principal - Travel Agent - TV Newscaster The worst career options for your are investigative careers, like mathematician or architect.

What's" Your Ideal Career?

Let me be truthful.

This is what i want :

Math : B

Econs : A

Chinese A : C

Gp : C

Let me be realistic.

This is what i will MOST prolly get :

Math : F

Econs : depending on mcq (which i totally suck at) and drq

Chinese A : E ( depending if she like my oh-so dramatic compo)

Gp : the optimist in me says C, but somehow my gut feeling is E.

Just pray that my chinese compo will be appreciated.
I wrote a really sappy love story, yes, read it, a love story, for my promotional exam.

Well, the plot goes like this...

I had a fairy tale wedding with my fiance at the beach in Bali, then, in the middle of the wedding ceremony, just after i said 'I do', and when he's about to kiss me, an explosion occurs.
Somehow, terrorists decided to plant a bomb on the same day as my wedding, then we were on the pedestal, and the explosion throw us up into the air. But somehow, i survived, (well, for the necessity of narrating this tale) but my fiance was blown apart.

This is so crappy, and sappy and just doppy. Can you believe it? I was excited when i wrote this compo, as in with my heart pumping in my ears, with adrenaline rushing through my veins, cos' it seemed so romantic and tragic both at the same time, with an element of irony and suspense hanging in the air...
But now, thinking about it, that story doesn't make sense. How come we are like locked in a kiss, then the bomb goes off and he gets blown up while i miraculously survive? This is just one of the many ridiculous loopholes in my essay.

Arrrgh... God forbids it...

The inspiration came from the recent Bali bombings. Why can't there be more cheerful news? Why do those suicide bombers go around, killing the innocents, destroying lives and property, messing up people's life?

For this, God condemns you.

For giving me this rotten inspiration of an idea and the above reason,

I condemn you.

Dear Joei,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Stay the way as you are now,

A little crazy, somewhat funny, somehow lovable...

Love ya!

Gp, math and Econs essays are over.
They are tough.
But they are doable.
It's just that i'm not prepared enough.
It's just that i would probably flunk them all.
Gp and math most probably.
The highest i could probably get for math is about 50.
Why am i such an idiot?
A pass for all of them would be sufficient.
I just want to get promoted.
All that's left are chinese A and the remaining econs.
Chinese A is impossibly difficult. Paper 1 and 2 takes up 6 1/4 hrs.

Tis' crazy!

Imagine the amount of stuff you need to know to complete a 6 1/4 paper.
That's twice of econs or math. Why did i take chinese A in the first place?
Had thought its a subject that doesn't require much effort, thought its something you need not study for and can pass, but oh boy, was i ever so wrong.
Should have realised that fondness for chinese serials is not enough.

The ancient texts doesn't make sense, but it doesn't matter, does it?
Its all about memorising.
Exams are merely tests on the mind's ability to retain information.
Aren't they?

I'm so totally drained today, after math and econs.
Its more of the disappointment faced.
I had dreams, i had targets, i had goals.
They just can't seem to materialise after today's papers.
Chinese A is worse.
Worst, i mean. Period.

For a fleeting moment, i seriously hoped to have been born and raised in China.
But, Ha, xinyi told me that it would not be possible becos i'm too kiasu.
Is it true that i'm kiasu?
Tell me people.
Am I?

It was dark. The only light that filtered through the dense foilage came from the streetlamp outside. It bathed the balcony in a strangely eerie glow. All was quiet except for the incessant chattering of hers. She stood at the balcony, chatting animatedly on the phone to a friend, visibly excited. She was eagerly sharing details of a Japanese horror movie she had watched earlier.

In the distant, the soft calls of the cuckoo clock could be heard. The cuckoo called out twelve times, signalling the approach of the unholy hour.

A shadow lurked behind her. It moved swiftly and silently. Until it was a hair's breadth away. She was too engrossed to be aware of that shadow, ignorant of the danger it possessed.

She did not react even as seconds ticked by. The shadow was getting impatient cos' it has been studying econs halfway and she is oblivious for such a long time. It breathed down her neck.

She jumped and screamed hysterically, and in doing so, accidentally smacking the shadow in its face.

OUCH!
The poor innocent shadow was hurt.
Lol, oh man, can she scream! Never knew my younger sis has such powerful vocals. Hahaha, think i scared the wits out of her. But, lol, dunno who was more scared, the friend she was talking to or her. Haha, imagine you're chatting in an extremely relaxed mood to your friend, lying on your bed, gazing at the stars outside and fingering the telephone cord, then suddenly...

A bloodcurdling scream from the other line...
Hahahaha, oh man, this is so funny. Haha, maybe i should do this more often, though preferably without going through the ordeal of a smack on the face. Lol...


Wonder who's gonna be my next victim?

Heehee,

Chowchow is sound asleep.

Dogs don't get heart attacks, do they?
