I Failed Boohoo!
Failure Face!
It has been just a week since great glory was shown upon me. I had gotten full marks for some geog assignment. And this week, I had just received the ticket to a failure's life. From full marks to a fail for geog. Same topic! Can you believe this nonsense. I was going through the paper and i mixed up my notes for plantation and wet rice cultivation. How can this be.Since then, i have been studying the moment i came home to the time i sleep so i can gain back the trophy. Failure is a stepping stone to success and i hope that i would not make the same mistakes again. I would try to do as well as anyone wan me to do!!! Sounds wrong as in grammar i think but you get the drift!

My Rock Show!!!
Hey! You see it on T.V. read in the magazine.... ahha... that's a lame way to start this entry. For your information, this entry is based on the Rock Show which took place in the Eurasian Association on the 16th of July from 2 to 5pm. It was the ultimate. Maybe becoz it was my 1st ever performance... haha.... mine and a few other including nic, anton, ashley and NATHAN!!! haha actually its nataniel. Out of the 5 of us, 2 were only eurasians; the rest were CHINESE!!! ahaha!!! It started like this... long before you were born on the 15th of July, Nat stayed over. We watched freaky friday and then started talking abt the mistakes we could make during the concert. Scary it was as fear and anxiety for the performance filled us to the brim. On the 16th, we packed our stuff and left for the concert. We were still filled with butterflies in our tummy. Not literally if you didnt noe... So it started well with our guitar teacher singing on stage with some people like the drummer's father with his bandana n the drummer. My teacher was singing 'HOT LEGS' by rod steward! ahha.... that song suited my legs!!! ahaha kkx thats lame. Den it came to our turn. We went on stage as a sea of excited faces filled the hall. My friends and *cough* fans were there. While setting up, my pedal could not work. Phew... it managed to when i re-plugged it in. We started with 'zombie' from the cranberries. While we started with the 1st chord, i walked passed my pedal to go to the mic when my leg hit the pedal's channel. thank goodness it was not hearable to the spectators. We played it den we went on to 'things ill nvr say' by avril lavigne. Den lastly, it was "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" by good charlotte as the whole hall was filled with cheers. We enjoyed ourselves and so did the audience. However, during my solo for lifestyles, my guitar was quite soft but frm where i was standing, it was hell of a loud. But luckily it was hearable. I enjoyed myself on my 1st performance in public. Hope i can do it again.

~Audition Craz~
Friday came at last! Woohoo! So today I had school and then went for luch with my parents, then, went home to get ready for my auditions. I thought it will be an audition such as the American Idol Auditions where 3 judges will be sitting down watching me but it was, however, only one, my sister's friend named Nicole also. She was very friendly and tried to make me comfortable. So I had to audition the whole of the Ribena Advertisement which they intend to show on the TV. It goes like this... I give a cheeky grin den i pick up the Ribena drink and drink it up.... after drinking i say wooah... den as i put the drink down i will be having to jump as if being blasted into the sky..... I land again and give a sharp Yes! The End! My sister told me that I will be having to sit on a rocket and act like on a roller coaster, however, it was otherwise. I was to be blasted instead by myself. It was a fun day. She told her friend, my sis, that i was not very spontaneous and loud enough. Blardy Hell! I was so loud that my sister outside the room could hear my voice even through those thick walls. I think she wanted me to be the best so as a result, i was to be more loud, etc. I really hope I get in as I will be getting my first pay cheque of more than 1K. Shiok sia! I rather work in the media industry then any other kinds of jobs as it gives a good pay and its fun, fun, fun.

Back To School, Back To Reality!
During The Stay Overs!
Life still goes on.... I Hate It! School again! I always wonder how come school was not like in the show Harry Potter. If it was like so, every one will be enjoying school and be eager to complete their tasks. It has finally arrived! Term 3! I am like months away from the 'O' Levels and it felt like just yesterday when I was saying that I had more than 10 months to study. Why does time passs so fast? I think I wasted my whole holiday! Ever since school started, I have been eagerly studying daily with Joshua after school for about 3 to 4 hours sometimes leading on to 6 hours. Amazing isnt it. Wesley is finally studying. I can't believe it myself. Its the 2nd week of the Term and my hard work has finally paid off. I got my paper back on the Geography homework we have been getting daily. Essay after essay. It was this morning during the first period when Mdm Niza stepped into the class briefing us on what she does daily. Then, she went into her only free time at night when she starts marking our papers and yet we give her horrible answers. Fear rushed through my spine. She got different students to stand up telling them how horrible they did. Then, she said "but people like Wesley has made my marking easy". She later went into showing my answers to my class showing that my answers are answered well with paragraphs, etc. I was relieved. She also pined up a copy of my work on the notice board at the back of the class. My hard work has finally paid off.
