okay peeps, its time for me to blog about my happenings and random thoughts again :D

lol paiseh, im lazy to phrase so im just gonna put it in point form.


Things i found amusing today:
I learnt how to pick the locks of the lockers in school! (when everybody else in class learnt it amazingly fast more than a year ago. I can't believe it took me a year-.-)
Earthquake tremors are felt in SAJC! (And i felt nothing at all when my friends said that they were swaying. perhaps it is cause im too fat)

Things that bugged me:

Was late in the morning and decided to head to Macs for breakfast with chmel when we got caught by the discipline master and had our ICs confiscated. (We were even instructed to eat on the way and not dine in. zzz)

So Chmel reminded by a coup of times about a flaw within me.
'Tim ah...sometimes you have to respect authority'
Ive been hearing this alot from my friends during my time in JC.
Yea...it is true. Sometimes, i really couldnt be bothered to give a damn about the ones in authority. I mean....i have to give in to people just because they have more 'power' than me? That's just bull. Im so not going to forsake my happiness for something like that.

You dont just expect respect. You earn them.

Then again, i realised something else. A year ago Chmel was still throwing vulgarities at the ones she's pist at(eg bryan lol) and now she's become so much more 'disciplined'. People have definitely changed during their time in JC.
But is it for the better or for the worse? =X


Then in the afternoon I got this phrase thrown at me in a seriously very wrong tone.

"Bye mugger"

Its those kindof tone which carries judgement. Ugh!

If I could, i wouldn't want to study so much too. But the sad fact is that i havent got enough cash (like you) to pay my way into the Universities. So..besides being hardworking, how else can i ensure my place in a higher education institute?
I certainly don't want to continue being stuck in this poverty slumber.
It is only right that i study hard to make up for the hardships the one who raised me up went through.

I would hate myself to be in a situation where i couldnt afford to give my mom a better life or afford her medical fees when i start working.

Whenever i tell her about what i would like to have in the future, she would always tell me to study hard to be able to afford it when i grow up. She's got a couple of wishes as well. Like a maid serving her so that she doesn't need to do the housechores anymore. Or a facelift so that her face will not look so saggy. hahaaha But she would always say this phrase before she expresses her wishfu thinking-
"Next time when you've studied well and earned anough money, I want a..."

So yea, I think I should really study hard :)

Hahaha cool. Now that Ive reminded myself of the pathetic situation Im in, I've got more motivation to study.


To those who are able to make sense out of what i just said, I hope you start or are studying hard too :)

For those who do not, I hope that you either know what you're doing or have a back-up plan :)

Friday is a day worth to be happy for because:
Its the last day of Prelims (:
Its the last day of the ever so annoying 7th month ghost festival (:
Its the day i had steamboat buffet which i ate tonnes of prawns (:
But Its also the day i gained another kg ):


Prelims, in overall, are really quite screwed. I couldnt finish all the questions of Math p1, Physics all papers, barely had enough time for chem p1, and of course no time for my econs as usual. Dammmmmmn and to think tt i was actually hoping for better grades for the prelims. Seems like i will need luck by my side this time.

I really cannot believe that i lost my cool during physics mcq because of one sparrow which got stuck in the hall. I lost about 10+ marks because i couldnt think properly, of which the questions I could do later on when i tried the paper again.

UGH!

But its okay. At least I can learn from thi experience. (:


So anyway, Friday was also the last day of 'Hungry Ghost Festival'! *Hurrays!*
Seriously, I Couldn't make sense out of why so many people want to buy fake money with real money, and then burn the fake money away. It's uneconomical, definitely environmentally unfriendly, and contributing up to the bad haze singapore is experiencing from the indonesia forest fires. WHHHYYYYY. I really hate it when the smoke from the burning ashes fly into my face when the wind blows towards my direction. Someone please tell me why would ppl wanna burn hell notes.

Apparently this practise all started during the time when China invented paper. This was the time before paper became famous. A student was learning how to make paper from the inventor of paper because he thought he could make a living out of it. But then later on, after he mastered the skill of it, no one wanted to buy paper from him because they saw no use for it. Soon the student died from an illness and the wife began burning all the paper he had made before he died because they were taking up space in the house and there was no use of it. But strangely enough, the student came back to life and started spreading tales of how he came back to life. He said that the papers burnt by his wife was actually seen as money in hell, of which he had used to negotiate with hell king (yan mo wang) to let him live again. And so this started to spread through the village and everyone started buying papers from him, hoping that somehow the hell money would allow their dead loved ones to have a better life in hell when obviously, it is all a fraud for the paper maker to earn money.

Logical? hmmm...

This is why the Singapore government enforced law upon such practise. Burning of hell notes was supposedly to be done at a certain period of time during the 1st day of the 7th lunar month when hell broke loose and all the ghosts comes out. But now, people could only burn their notes in metal cylinders or cages(simply because it was damaging government property), of which they had to queue up for and had to disregard the timing.

It's not really a religious practise if you think about it. More like superstition.

Here's a mutton song for the 7th lunar month (:

Dont change just because people are mocking you for the way you are. Rather, change because you know it's for the better. If it's not, fuck'em.

We ought to be appreciative of what we have. Our parent(s), our friends and our abilities. A father or maybe a brother might be missing from the ideal family, mockery is done openly, being inferior to another person's academic results of which she/he might not appear to be worthy of. But having one rotting apple doesnt mean you can disregard the red ones beside it. Blinded by inferiority and self-blame or standing tall and seeing the things that truely matter?

It's really up to us to decide where we go, who we are, and what we do.

Sometimes, you get a sudden realisation that what you have been doing is something ridiculous and completely nonsensical. But that doesnt mean you're going to be upset over it. It only means that you can change for the better.

But when you do, others start to react in fear, scared by your drastic changes.

Well if being normal is suppose to be scary, then I wonder why being 'abnormal' is recieved with mockery.

Mockery. Stereotype. Discimination. Who's to decide whether to judge or not when it is inherent in our traits, or so we believe it to be? Rather, it's a matter of speaking it. And most of the times, it's who we speak these things to that matters.

Sometimes, we believe in things to make certain hapenings seem logical and explainable. But who was o realise that we might be living in self-denial and faili to realise that not everything happens the way we expect them to? Comfort zones. Are we more comfortable with the truth or the false?

Men are such funny creatures. They believe in the things they want to. But yet they are only convinced by concrete evidence.

Hmm...Things have been pretty mudane lately.

Watched 'Time traveler's wife' which is a rlly nice movie.But sadly, i didnt catch the beginning or the end. Cause someone was late, and we wanted to sneak into another hall for another movie. hahahaha So i got to watch G-force (: The last 1 hour of it only though. hahaha it's quite a fun show to watch. Lot's of laughter and totally ridiculous. hahahah.

Oh, please dont try this.

Cause my friend didnt make it because he couldn't find the hall i went into and got caught and chased out......LOL!!! So he missed the end of the movie for nothing...Ouch~

Another thing to add:
Please do not fall asleep while you're watchin a movie if you snore. It's very VERY inconsiderate. ):


So...saw this on youtube and i thought it was very amusing. I would realy love to be there when something like this really happens. Singapore should have more of such things happening. It adds more colour to the city!


sweet huh? It totally made everyone around smile and lightened up their mood.

I bet you enjoyed it too. =D

Things have been going really wrong these days. With insufficient time and tonnes of blank answers like never before, I wonder how i'll improve from my current standard. I can kiss goodbye to my ideal A's and B's now.

It often seems that the more worried you are for your exam results, the better you'll do for it. Lke how boon ping always 'oh ya, shit' whenever he discovers that he's made a mistake, he'll still eventually get 70++. So..Will I do better this time round?

Who am i kidding? My hopes are always dashed by apalling results. And neither will it be an exception this time.


RANDOM!------------------

Then out of the blue...here comes you
Stomping into my world like no one's business, crashin my mind whenever i try to leave you aside and leaving my thoughts all warped up when you leave as and when you wish.

I hate it. I love it. I think Im going crazy.

But then again, you're right. Without pain, you'll not experience joy.
Sigh...I wonder if we're going the right way.


For all that's worth, you've got a great voice.


RANDOM!-------------------


zzzz, I have got to STOP having a thing or two for unique vocals.

I miss class. Or rather, I prefer it over examinations.


My class..through lens of my phone.

Sia pose =]

Riddikulus craze over ping pong on teacher's table.

candid leon;)

boon kia sleeping. and yet still do so well.

oh...another random pic. nothing to do with class but i thought it was amusing. But then again, everything's amusing to me.

Click on it to see the words! :D

That's all! CYA!
