Here's a unique quiz I took online today. Results are as shown below.

You Are a Ring Finger

You are romantic, expressive, and hopeful. You see the best in everything.You are very artistic, and you see the world as your canvas. You are also drawn to the written word.Inventive and unique, you are often away in your own inner world. You get along well with: The Pinky Stay away from: The Index Finger

I went for my first training of the holidays today and I am glad that I accomplished what I accomplished today. Today was the first time in my life that I've ever paddled 2km on a K1 ... Since the past 3 years, I've never passed the 250m mark for the K1 boat and I'm really surprised that I managed to surpass it today. I made it all the way to the 1 km mark without capsizing but on the way back, due to a strong breeze which made my boat turn, I unfortunately flipped just 50m before the finishing line.

I was so close. But it was quite embarrassing to capsize in such a position such that those on shore would be able to spectate my overturned boat and gasp " Omg .. Is that Joel in a K1? Never seen him paddle that boat before." Yeah right that's my second time in a K1 boat this year and I'm proud that I have forsaken the fat T2 boat and moved on to a slimmer, more challenging K boat. By the way, I wonder what does T and K stand for? It hasn't occurred to me that I should ponder over the symbolism of such trivial letters. Maybe I'm just curious. All in all, I think training went well today and I should put in more effort in training so that one day I would be able to go into the water in my K boat, and paddle swiftly and smoothly without capsizing, just like an analogy that coach do so would in his younger days.

Anyway, I watched the Campus Superstar Auditions just now and I happy for Joanna to be able to pull through the auditions. She was great in the auditions but she acted so cute when the Judges were shortlisting the people. I would vote her when the time is right. Go Jo. We both have identical initials for the first 2 alphabets of our name. Lol.

Lol. This coined "word" should be used appropriately. It means laugh out loud. There was this one time in maple ... actually many times in maple, people exclaim Lol when a character dies or tells of his mishaps. I don't think that Lol is the correct word or phrase or expression to use in such a case. I mean even on messenger, when someone says that he or she has lots of homework to do, or is upset about a certain plight, we should not type Lol to the person! How can you laugh out loud when you hear of someone in distress or laden with work or has had his virtual character virtually murdered. Ok, now is not the right time to say Lol. I admit that I have wrongly used this expression thousands of times in exaggeration. Let's digress from this issue.

I'm going to confirm my IC registration tomorrow with Papa. We are going to eat Burger King in the morning and then go to a certain building near Lavender station where I would register for my IC. Then we would go out for lunch and possibly go to Borders to look at books. Dad would probably go missing again and I would have to look for him.

Let's end my post with a usual positive statement. At best, material success will last till the day you die. Love lasts for eternity. God bless everyone. May love, joy and peace be with you this June holidays... Muacks.

Watched Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End today. I didn't really remember what happened in the past 2 movies so I guess I missed out on some background information about this sequel. Anyway, the movie lasted like 3 hours and me and Rachel smuggled A pizza from Pizza Hut into the Cinema.

Hahas .. We went out today to catch the movie. Anyway, we bought a drink from NTUC and stuffed the steaming pizza box longitudinally into the plastic bag. Then Rachel hid the Pizza under her Jacket and we went into the Cinema unnoticed. I guess the Usher must have a poor sense of smell as the pizza smelt and tasted delicious. In fact, during the 15 min commercials before the movie started, we had gobbled up the whole pizza and people from the back were like looking at us. Then there was this girl or guy in front with a squealing laughter. It sounded so cacophonous yet so hilarious at the same time.

Pirates of the Caribbean was a very long and funny movie. I liked the part where Jack Sparrow's ship was pushed by many white crabs on one of those weird white sand dunes. And the part where he delayed to stab the heart of some weird Davy Jones with Tentacles as his beard. The part which was confusing was the goddess of some funny name (Can't remember) who liked made the show so complicated and possibly caused some major hurricane in the sea. Frankly, I dislike the plot in the movie. I find it overbearing as people like me who have not understood the past 2 prequels would be dam confused over this one. I would rate this movie 7/10 or maybe 6/10.

Didn't train in maple at all. I just lazed around. Tomorrow is the day that I must train at least 10%. Unless I have some other problem that unwinds, I should be able to reach at least 30% by tomorrow. I take back my aim of reaching 150 by June. It's nearly impossible considering the gargantuan amount of exp I need to gain for one level and the fact that I have tons of unappealing holiday assignments as depicted in my previous post. I'm so chim tonight.

Audition was so fun. I perfected 9 times yesterday with a combo of 8 as seen in the screen shot that I will post at the end of my post. Haha .. sounds weird. I missed church today and the movie event special because the Pirate movie ended unexpectedly late. I am very unhappy that I missed today's event. I shall have to go to church next week and ask for conviction. I need spiritual awakening. It's getting late already. I had better sleep as the whole next week is filled with relentless, unappealing training at Mac Ritchie.

This sounds better that it would turn out to be. I have to be positive. Hence I shall end my post with my usual positive quote. Do what you can to make others' lives pleasant and others will try to please you in return. God bless everyone and lovely dreams.

I am very pissed that the holidays are here. Actually not so pissed about the holidays but the fact that my class and probably most of the 9 subject classes in Sec 3 have more than a mountain load of homework. The letter that the principal of Curriculum (G Pok K) sent to the teachers proved to be ineffective in the aspect of ensuring that the students have enough rest for the holidays. I am extremely against this conspicuous point.

And I'm sure that there's definitely something I missed out from the above list ... I really hate the pressure and stress in my life. I'm planning on an early retirement at the age of 15. And it's so hot and humid tonight.

Training is everyday of the week except the weekend and I have Dragon Boat Inter House tomorrow which I refuse to attend. Despite my vehement protests, I am still compelled to go. I hate the unfairness in life. WHY ME? I am super tired.

Basically the Holiday is just about:
HOMEWORK PROJECT TRAINING

Play is not included. Even though I would play but I doubt it would be fun at all ... I wanna go somewhere and forget all this worldly burdens. I tell myself to be strong because this is only secondary school. I must be Strong.

I hope Blake wins American Idol. He has lots of charisma and a really smooth voice just like mine ... Lol ... Self Appraisal ... Heehee. Let's end off this post with a positive note ~ When you are tempted to complain about your problems, think about some of the problems that others have which you don't. You'll come away with renewed gratefulness for the good things in your life. God bless everyone. Goodnight.

This term is the officially the worst term I've ever experienced in the past few years in SJI. I have the most appalling results I've ever received ... But I feel fortunate to know that there are others worse off than me. With a B4 percentage, I think I should be around the 15th position in class. The highest percentage so far in my class is a mere A2 ... I feel like sobbing loudly.

Here's my Appalling results (I won't reveal the exact mark for confidential reasons)

English - B3
A maths - C5
E maths - B3
Biology - A2/B3
Physics - U
Chemistry - A2/B3
HCL - E8/C5
Full History - B4
Elective Geography - U

Best L1R5 - 19
Worst L1R5 - 23

Subjects rated U are papers that I didn't sit for due to a fever. I came to school to sit for the remaining papers with a nightmarish cough and a feverish temperature of 37.9 degrees. I am frankly surprised that I could passed all my subjects excluding Higher Chinese in which I missed one test paper and an oral examination due to my cough. Hopefully my mother tongue teacher would exclude the oral marks and that test paper from the overall percentage. Then I should be able to obtain a C5 or at least a C6. Life is so unfair...

The other 2 sciences should be A2's if the practicals are added appropriately. If not, then my L1R5 would be a 21 at best. I don't wanna talk about results anymore. I suck this term. Big time. Really big. But I've expected it and my parents have expected it since I was down with rhinitis just before the exams.

I don't wanna blog anymore. Neither do I want to gloat over my misery and misfortune. I am happy to be a healthy human on Planet Earth. I am glad to be considered the most intelligent life form ever discovered in the Universe yet. Because only an intelligent life form would know that they are intelligent.

Life's trials are ultimately what you make of them. One man's stumbling block is another man's stepping stone.

Well... I changed my blogskin today. Found a nice one on the web. I'm too lazy to make my own skins now. I made 2 last time but they weren't that nice and spent 3 hours just working on each of them. I find this skin really unique and simple ... plus the space above allows me to write some mushy stuff that captures the attention of the viewer. Wow... Blogger saves drafts automatically ... this weird pop up thing just appeared.

Anyway, church was great today and I learnt more about God and the difference between Conviction and Preference. We also had to come up with ways to improve our cell and invite people for the special video service next week. Hmm ... I wonder who should I target. I did really badly this term as compared to my results in the pass 2 years. This is one of the worst terms I'm having. I screwed history and maths as I was ill and everyone screwed the 3 sciences and both math papers as well. I hate doing badly. At least I'm warmly surprised that I didn't fail any subject despite taking maths and history with a temperature of near 38 degrees. The class must have been irritated by my incessant coughing.

I leveled to 146 today finally after one and a half month... Feeling really satiated with my virtual accomplishment today. Anyways... it's getting really really late. Pass midnight actually ... I have to sleep now. Byes everyone. So hungry ... only ate a few chicken wings for dinner... should have at least gone for Macs ...

What's the best news you're heard or the happiest though you've had lately? Pass it on. It may be just the thing to life someone else's spirits and bring hope to an otherwise dismal day.

I quote the stuff I posted on forum today:

X Country sucked to the core. I pretended I was sick so I didn't run competitive. Gave the tag to my fren from a different house but same class. LOL. Walked the whole mass run and my legs still have dried minuscule cakes of mud despite bathing.

Rating for 2007 X Country: 0/10 It was a total waste of life and space.

The rain made everything thrice as bad. And my legs and toes are sore because my shoes are too big. I hate those mud caked shoes. They're totally brown and my mum kept fussing over them. But she kindly offered to wash them since they are darker than shit itself.

GG for this term. All the subjects gone case. Tomorrow Bio results will probably pull my marks down to a B4 unless a miracle happens. I screwed A maths and E maths and history. I couldn't recall what I've learnt. Probably because half of my days before the tests were spent on visiting the doctor twice and lamenting over my misfortune of falling ill just before the exams. I feel so unwell. I wanna sick up now because I have training tomorrow and my results are like shit.

Oh well. I have to commit everything to God now. At least my Biology O level SPA went very well. I'm sure I can get a high A1 for that SPA. I got the exact isotonic concentration at 0.3 mol/dm-3. Tomorrow is chemistry SPA. I hate all these practical examinations. If ppl grade you for how u performed an experiment... it's really unfair because you might just slip here and there and break a few stuff and then you're gonna be really embarrassed right under the nose of the invigilator.

Jamming was quite fun today. We haven't confirm the songs for Milk run yet. Life is so full of ups and downs. More downs than ups for me. I hope it isn't the same for you. Must be positive now. Someone once told me the grass is much greener on the other side.

Blogger is still having the layout bug or it's my internet/html code arrangement. I can't see my post the way it used to be when I was creating them a few weeks before. Tomorrow, most of the common test results would be released. Our class did badly in A maths and E maths. I think about 10 failures or more. I know that I can pass but I won't pass well unless a miracle happens. 68 marks for English. I only need 3 more marks for my essay or comphrehension to get than A2. Only 2 distinctions for english this term. One A1 and one A2.

Anyways, I have to sleep soon. My cough is getting better. Tomorrow is Biology O level SPA for 333 and I don't wanna screw it up. Anyways, I don't understand why is the usage of the phrase "ameliorate their plight" expressed as a WW in my essay. Seriously, some brushing up on the usage of grammar has to be done with both parties. Nvm, I'm being sarcastic and whoever's reading these few sentences will have no idea what I'm talking about. Take this as a unique way of lengthening the post.

I have to go for training. Train. Train. And more training. Both physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and virtually. Stuck at 145 72%. I won't level for a long time. Very busy with other stuff. I just realised that being online is just but a meagre part of appropriate purposeful living. I intend to stick with the latter instead of a dull addictive life on the innards of a virtual reality.

Goodnights. My birthday is coming on 16th May. Happy Birthday Joey. Time to grow up. You're getting your IC within 1 month of your birthday. HeeHee. All grown up. I don't act like one right? Hahas.

My Blogger layout has a weird bug. There's this wide expanse of beige on the screen and the icons are arranged in a straight row aligned to the left. I'm pratically typing on white space. Lol. Anyway, I missed 2 Common Tests( Physics and Geog) on Monday as I was sick with fever. I'm still having cough and phlegm now. Some Viral infection that compelled me to visit the doctor twice with my ever concerned mum I guess. Oh ya ... Mother's Day coming on Sunday, I have to get her a present.

A Maths and Chem were generally tedious and tricky yesterday. The MCQ had more calculations than Sec B for Chem and Maths was so long and tiring. So was history and E maths today. No time to check. I had to rush through the whole paper. Anyway, Biology's the last paper tomorrow and I intend to get an A1 for biology.

Aiyah ... I'm acting so nerdy. Nvm... GL all who have exams and gratz to those who have completed theirs. Cough Cough. Bye.

Common Tests are next week and I need to get prepared for my other subjects now ... other than Maths. I shall post my schedule here:

Pray to God fervently.

I bought an MA 105 int 4 Pyogo for 9m. So happy. But I haven't scrolled it. Giving it to my cousin to scroll. God bless everyone. Goodnight.

It's May already and today is Labour day which turned out to be a really boring day for me. I stayed at home practically the whole day mugging in the morning and playing some maple and audition in the afternoon. Then I went out for dinner at night with Mum And now I'm back and I'm gonna sleep soon.

I bought a Pyogo Mushroom for 30m then I failed 5 60% on it due to impulse scrolling. I tried selling it but my shop expired before it could be sold ... Have to stick to this weapon till I get a chance at buying another weapon. But my MA increased by 5 so I'm relatively happy and contented.

Next week is the Common Tests. I better start mugging. I'm beginning to understand more about logarithmic functions but I totally forgotten about my other theorems .. especially coordinate geometry and past physics theories. Must revise again. Human life is so complicated. I might become a philosopher next time and write a book about the fate of humans and animals on Earth. Till then I shall lead the normal life in Singapore... hopefully not too normal but not too abnormal as well. I'm contradicting myself.

God bless everyone. Remember that if you need a face lift, there's always one that's free and handy... it's called a smile.
