Our time spent at school is coming to an end by this Thursday. Thursday will be our last day of school. So sad yet exciting. There's so many things to anticipate in future yet so many things we don't wish to let go of, dwelling in the past.


Today was fun. My history teacher was walking up the stairs today after assembly. I was right behind her. Her left shoe sort of got caught between 2 steps and it fell off. Then she apologised to me in order to avoid further embarrassment, though I didn't think she ought to apologise at all. And my physics teacher was looking down and he was smiling as usual. And she said: "Mr XXX, don't laugh ah, I'm gonna kick your butt."


Then she said something about how a shoe becoming loose and falling off is one of the most embarrassing things that could happen to a woman and several other repetitions and stuff and me and my friends were in an uproar of hysterics and laughter and amusement. And Mr XX couldn't turn his lips upside down but he continued his cheerful disposition as usual. The atmosphere was really uncalled for and everyone in the vicinity had their humour tickled.


School is going to end. I should update and change the class blog design soon. I'm also gonna set up a separate blog where I will post my history 2138 /2158 essays for those in need of them. If you can't seem to find a friend, put down your binoculars and look closer to home.

Oh wow ... I finish all the A Maths papers assigned to us for the next few weeks. Now I'm left with just E maths and physics. I won't do all of them yet. I dunno how to revise ... Should I memorise the textbook or perhaps have someone talk to me about the concepts of each topic in the subject we are discussing on. I realise that having someone to chat with about history helps to keep my facts in mind and also squeeze out new ideas for our part two questions.

I had no time to lengthen the last essay for our history test today. I think I overwrote for the first three essays. The timeline for the third essay was a bit vague. But nevertheless I think I can still pull through the test. I wonder when we will get back all our mock tests. Are the teachers gonna mail us the scripts and then send the answers online? I know they're doing that for English though.

Everyone's not hyped up about F1 in my class. No one said anything about it. But I'm confident that my previous English teacher was there at the race last night. He's a number one F1 fanatic. Since lower secondary, there's been a lot of talk about cars and car races during lessons where we had open discussions. And lots of obscenities too.

I shall find something to entertain myself with now. Faith is the greatest gift you can give people who are having trouble believing in themselves. Actually I think we all believe in ourselves but sometimes we just don't know how to express it. I believe in you as you believe in me!

We got back our results. I did well enough but there's still hectares of space for vast improvement. There were 5 subjects that did not disappoint, 2 that were close to an A, and 2 others that I have to work on desperately. Anyway, I attained 8 points but it would be 2 points better if I scored higher for English, where I attained a B for Breast and Bear and Balls and Bearings and Bolsheviks and Bravery and Bleach and Blue and Britney and Backstreet Boys and Buono! and Beach and Bag and Boo and Brick and Break and I'm going mad.


I downloaded GreeeeN songs a few days ago. At first I thought the songs were boring and monotonous but after seeing their music videos, I got hooked onto their songs. They're second to Yui now on my J-pop music charts! I especially like the lyrics to their hit single Kiseki, which means miracle or Qi Ji, in mandarin. They made me wanna cry and I'm sure they will make others cry too. So touching~


I fell sick yesterday. I had a fever with no distinct diagnosis of what was causing it. But it subsided today and I thank God for helping me feel better. It's getting late and I should get more rest. I shall sleep by 11.


Without the right goals, we will never be truly successful in life, no matter how much money we earn or how great a name we make for ourselves.

I don't have much time to post because I haven't completed my tuition homework and the tutor is coming in about an hour or so. I came back after midnight yesterday. We had our speech and graduation day yesterday afternoon and it lasted till evening. It's quite melancholic to come to the realisation that we are all leaving the school in 2 weeks time. The graduation ceremony went well. Dad and mum read my letter and were touched.


After that, I had to fold my certificates into two because my bag was too small to contain an A4 size envelope, and dad had already gone home because I told him our class was having dinner out. But thankfully the certificates are still in good condition. Our teachers brought us to Seoul Garden to eat. I ate fried rice and some barbecued stuff and drank 3 cups of drinks (ice lemon tea and peach tea) and ate desert and ice cream and cream of mushroom soup and a lot of eggs and fish and I couldn't defecate until just now hence thank God that I'm somewhat intestinally relieved as of this moment.


We thanked our teachers and then me, and 6 of my friends went to Lido to watch Mamma Mia. It was my first time going to a Lido Cineplex and it was huge. It looked like a gargantuan discotheque, except that there were a lot of sofa-like seats. We watched the 9.45pm show which lasted about 2 hours. It was an excellent musical and was so hilariously at some points. Everyone had fun. I took one of the last buses home ... but the night life at orchard was still hustling and bustling away.


Church was great today. Though I couldn't find any of my cell members anywhere today. I heard my cell leader's child was born today. Congratulations! I hope to continue growing in God and trusting him in everything that I do. Kindness and consideration for others never goes out of style! Mata Ne.

Tomorrow is our graduation day. We did 2 rehearsals. One on Monday and one a few hours ago. I had fun. We had fun. We got scolded. But we still had fun. And some of the songs were fun too.


I'm not doing well for English and Social Studies. I'm aiming to get Bs for these subjects. But I hope to get some As for my maths and sciences. I've secured half of the A1 for E maths already and an A1 for history too. The rest of the results will be released next Monday and currently not under my "jurisdiction" to decide my marks. I used the wrong word. It doesn't fit into that sentence.


I made careless mistakes everywhere for maths and that's not an excuse because everyone did so too and we all make mistakes and we need to cut down on these mistakes. I failed to comprehend my comprehension and I failed my SBQ badly. But at least the other sections should pull me up...


We had tons of homework. There's so much I can't even remember how much there is right now and I have to refer to my diary for the homework details. Perhaps I've even missed out some homework that the teacher dished out.


It's a credit to anyone to share the credit. I wanna rest before mugging. I hope I can be smarter!

My headphones spoilt again. And mum kindly allowed me to use hers since her Mp3 had broken down quite some time ago. At least I won't be separated from my favourite music ... I just finished the last few questions on my A maths trigonometry exercise. I feel very satiated because my assessment book is more than half complete. I only have differentiation, integration and geometrical proofs left... Wow that's so little! Wee little nerdy mee ...


Anyway, we wrote letters of appreciation to our parents today ... and these will be given out during the graduation day ceremony on Saturday. I think I overwrote. I can't believe I made love signs all over the letter. I feel so not ungay. Perhaps the intimacy level could be toned down a little. Yet I'm very appreciative to my parents for bringing me up to who I am today. I don't really care what people say about me anymore ... though I do like to avoid attention most of the time.


Being unique is what each of us should be expert at. We are special in our own way and I like it that way. If the winds of change decide to bring the desertification of certain aspects in my life, I just have to accept it. There's a reason for the seasons in our life. Change is something that makes us human. I hope to change for the best that I can be ...



If we could see how much God loves everyone whose life touches ours, we would try harder to love them too! LOVE LOVE LOVE. Now don't be so conservative. Let's LOVE.

The anticipated weekend is finally here. I have a mountain of work to do. I just finished the Chinese essay due next Thursday. I felt like doing all of a sudden ... probably because I had the appropriate resources to aid me in writing the essay. I have 3 maths papers, 1 chemistry paper, 1 physics paper, 1 higher Chinese test paper, tuition homework, and a few more I cant remember. At least there's no official lessons on Monday. We're having a farewell rehearsal. I wish I could use Naruto's shadow replication and finish all the work in an hour with my replicates.


I shall go and do something else now. Failure, like the darkness of night, might be a pain in the butt and slow me down. But the dawn will come and the sun will shine again and birds will sing and flowers will bloom and the church bells will ring and the fat lady should sing (though she wont because she doesn't exist in my estate) and a rainbow will appear and fairies will grant our wishes and I can't think of anymore ludicrous phrases to continue this ultra long sentence. But I shall be on my way to progress and reach for the destiny I want and that God has planned for me which resides in the future.

School has officially reopened and I'm already so tired of studying. At least I finished all of the holiday homework on time. I screwed up the situational essay we wrote yesterday because I didn't read the question carefully and partly due to the chinese teacher who was intrigued by the symbols on my pencilbox keychain, which happened to be Hangul, Hiragana and Katakana. And that caused me to be distracted.


The maths test today was manageable though many complained that it was very difficult but coming from a non-maths TDP class ... I have nothing much to comment about. So we have a social studies test tomorrow and I'm not prepared. I better go study soon. I hate to go on mugger mode. The haircut from the barber yesterday was unappealing too. And my nails are growing very fast ... I thought I just cut them recently but somehow they bypass my predictions of their growing speed. I'm being weird again. Never mind. Wait .. I must mind myself being weird. But never mind.


Some people think of God as a safety net, a way out of trouble when all else fails, but they wouldn't get themselves into such serious trouble if they would just hold on to him in the first place.

The good news is that I've finished all of my holiday homework. The bad news is that there's only 1 more day till school reopens and I dunno what to revise. I've also finished reading all my manga so now I'm back to watching anime. I don't wanna spend so much time on the computer but I keep getting lured to it somehow. I wish I had enough motivation to lock it up. The LCD screen might cause even more floaters in my eyes, just when they were diminishing.

I'm off to do something else now. Why did I bother to post anyway... Worship experience is coming up ... I'm so excited about it. I have to drag my friend along too! Prayer is as simple as talking to a friend on the telephone. You talk to God, you listen, and together you can sort things out! Wee ~

Dad bought a new keyboard for the computer. The keys feel like little springboards and are so delightful to press. There are so many symbols imprinted on this keyboard. I think some of the symbols are either Thai or Tamil alphabets. Even the number keys have symbols imprinted on them! There are approximately 3 to 4 symbols on each key and so this keyboard looks like its heavily tattooed.


I bought a set of manga yesterday. It's called Chao Ren Qi Honey ... but I'm not sure how to translate it into English since the manga is in Chinese. I think it means Super attractive Honey? The plot and drawings are really nice but I still prefer the art of the first manga series I've read. I'm dividing my time so that I have time to go online, time to read manga and time to do homework... I also have to practise piano later since my teacher is coming today.


Time is flying by relentlessly. It's already Wednesday and there's so many things to be done. I've completed my maths homework and I'm starting on maths revision. Now I need to complete chemistry by today and Chinese by tomorrow. And after that, there's only three days left before the short holiday ends.


Just as the crushing of a rose brings out its sweet perfume, so the difficulties of life release the sweetness within us. If we allow that, it can bring out qualities such as love for others, tenderness, compassion, humility and closeness to loved ones. But I still think that crushing a rose is somewhat cruel and I will not allude the crushing of a rose to the "crushes" in life. Okay ... that sounded very corny.
