Its been a hectic week with so many things going on. First day of school was fine, but as the days slowly passed, hmewrks were given lyk as thgh turning the tap on. Had "O"-level MT oral ystdy, and i was barely prepared for it, despite having notes. Everyone carried the "tense" impression on their faces as we waited in the waiting room. We were paired within ourselves and each pair made their way out turn by turn. Didnt noe hw to read some words in the passage, and cldnt elaborate much for conversation. My mind just cld not think of anythng, and i think it cost me my marks. Worried faces were seen in each person when we were done, talked with one another abt the "experience", and we managed to calm down alittle.
Anw whats done is done, just have to keep heading front, so to all 4EE ppl, lets do our best with watever tats left for Chinese "O"s =) Tmr those taking Economics are having their paper 2, the 4Exp wld be having their Prelims for the following 2 weeks, and plus those in our class taking E-Maths. Just wish them best of luck n not to give up =0] Tmr's also the day where BB will be heading to Turf City for Touch Rugby,hahas. Bet it is going to be very fun, but guess i shall miss it since i am really very tired, and intend to sleep in longer =]
Found the 2 speakers during assembly quite good, as it really got me thinking. But i seemed to have forgotten what they said,hahs. Nvm, i only noe that time is short and that whatever decisons i make nw wld affect me for the rest of my life. So it is my choice to choose to buck up or just wait till the very last min. Nxt week wld be "N"-level Eng oral, then at end of July wld be "N" prelims. Mr Ng is so good, he has encouraged our class to form study grps to help each other within the nxt 2 mths. Guess i shall try out a few sessions and see whether it wld be productive..if nt then it is solo-studying for me, heh.

Time is passing by so quickly! I always find tat time goes by quicker each year starting since my Pri sch days. It is lyk time passes slower when u ar younger, n faster when u get older =p
Think my greatest wish is tat time will slow down, or just stop temporarily,hahs, but guess it might not come true at all.
Today was my last guitar intensive class, having plans to try out the long-term classes,hahs. Thanks to this lessons, i am beginning to enjoy listening to songs with guitar..or shld i say most songs alrdy have guitar being played, haha. There are quite a number of nice movie shows recently, really want to catch them, but time n studies make up the reasons for nt being able to watch. Lol,mayb nt a good reason afterall=) First on my list wld be : 1) "You dont mess with the Zohan". Next wld be : 2) "Get Smart". After which wld be : 3) "The Happening" ?, haha!, nah..saw the ads n it looks real scary,heheh.
Ah, shorty post..going to use the rest of the hols wisely, n i mean WISELY, no more wasting it over silly things. Do hope i have the discipline to make this promise fufillied, if nt i am really gonna suffer. Okay, time to face the obstacles n tests step by step, thats all folks=D

Twenty thousand miles from the place I call home
Twenty some ODD (what) years since the day I was born
And I'm searchin
I'm still searchin for answers
People often told me to choose a different road
This one can get ugly
Twist and turns to just grow old
But I'm walkin I don't care if I'm walkin alone
CHORUS:
And I'm, screaming into the dark
Searching for an answer
Where do I go from here
I, I don't know where I'm headed
Or if this is just a big mistake
But somethin's telling me
That falling down is a chance I'll just have to take
And I, I'll get on the bus
And put down my bags
And take a final glance
At the only home I've known
At the only HOME I've ever known
CHORUS:
And I'm screaming into the dark
Searching for an answer
Where do I go from here
BRIDGE:
All of my life I've been so COMFORTABLE
But I always knew
That there'd come a day
When I'd have to get out
Get out
CHORUS:
I'm screaming into the dark
Searching for an answer
Where do I go from here
Here And I'm standing still
But I can't catch my breath
Or running fast as I can
But going nowhere
Where do I go from here....
Song by Marie Digby =) Well, time is running out soon and passes by so fast, better use this very short time to complete my work and to study!

From bottom right, Mantis, Crane, Monkey, Viper, Po the Panda, Shifu, Tigress, Tai Lung, and lastly not in the pic, The Great founder of Kungfu, Master Wu gui, ( a tortoise), haha=)Went to Arise, Shine concert ystdy, only to miss it as we encountered many problems on our way to RP. Firstly, we decided to cut thrgh a field, as we were late, and clever me went to led Nik and me into a muddy n murkish route as an attempt to get out of the field faster, while my bro n Perry went the other way. The mud smelled lyk dung..n worst was tat Nik's shoes were covered with them. Secondly, we headed to the registration counter to collect Nik's reserved tics, only to be told that the tics had been taken alrdy. Double-checked many times, but still cldnt find them, so we went to the toilet to clean up Nik's shoes.
Decided to skip the concert due to these "misfortunes", so went to Marina Square to watch "Kungfu Panda" !, haha. Thgh we wasted $15, it was worth it, as lyk wat Nik said, these happenings made us more bonded, and the show was also hilarious, laughed abt 90% of the movie, hahas, really nice. Took a cab bck home, as there were no trains left,hahs..long time nvr sat in a cab alrdy, smemore past midnight =)
Time to start doing some work n work hard lyk Po, the panda in the movie, haha, frm a big fat lazy panda, to a Dragon warrior n kungfu master. But for me is to be a good & disciplined student=D

Back from LDC camp. The camp was tiring, torturous for the sec 2s, yet fun. Stayed overnight on Thurs to prepare the thngs for the camp, learned how to play the card game, Bridge, then slept at 3am n woke up at 6.30am. Day 1: Changed to Full-U then headed to get ready for registration of the sec 2s as they report in. Explained the rules of the camp n introduced the committee. Had inspection,after tat headed out to Pulau Ubin for the hike. It went fine, but rained heavily half way through,so everyone had to wear poncho n carry on with the hike. Had dinner when we came bck, followed by survivor games which tests the behaviour of each Boy. Boys were being "tekan" alot thrghout the whole day, they did more than 1oo plus in one day. Had devotion, after which lights out n they had "powder-bath" , instead of water bath. Slept at 3am after debrief,woke at 5.30am.
Day 2: Had PT training, after which the committee n i went to collect breakfast n make milo. Had devotion n lessons, after which was field cooking where the Boys went to the market behind the school to get their ingredients for the cooking. It rained when we were abt 3/4 done with eating, so had to move in to the shelter to finish up n clear away the thngs. The Boys were "tekan" again, after which they were released for their NDP training. We,the committe then went to slack in the WOW room. Was dead tired n wanted to sleep, but was so engrossed with the card games tat the seniors were playing, that i went to play instead=) Time passed quickly n b4 long the Sec 2s were bck, so we had dinner, bunk inspection, after tat had movie screening of " Prince Of Egypt", followed by the preparing of the survival games that the Boys were going to play. It tested their capabilty of leading, and hw they work as a team to pass each game. Supper was next n tis time the boys were allowed to have water bathe, but a fast one. Slept at 1am,woke up at 6.45am.
Day 3: Last day of camp!, well changed to Full-U, prepared Milo again, had breakfast, then went for church service. Loved the songs sang, but when it came to the preaching, i bcame so sleepy, tat i kept nodding off, despite controlling myself. Once service ended, the Boys were "tekan" again, n were asked to hold 2 cup of water filled to the brim , holding it parallel to the ground while mid-squatting. They stayed tat way for 45mins, as they were told nt to sleep during the service, but sme did. Felt quite badf myself since i was one of those who slept, but was nt doing tat with them =[ Next was clearing up of area,Boys did lots of pumping again, abt 150.
Had debrief in WOW e=room n gave them their badges. Committee had to wash the feets the Boys, as a form of servant leadership. It was quite fun, n then officer trated them to bubble tea. After which, it was "raping time", where one Boy was raped, as it was his bday the day b4, but he headed home to celebrate, n came bck today, so it was lyk our "present" to him=) We took markers, from the table which was meant to let the teachers use for the meetings, n started drawing on his face,body n butt,hahs. Next up being raped was another Boy, followed by ME!!!,hahas. Officer Wencong pointed to me, then b4 i knew it, all of the Boys came pounding onto me,as i was the camp commandant n "tekan" them quite alot..so it was lyk their revenge,hahs . Whats worse was that i was wearing my Full-U, n they took off my rank, belt,pants,shirt,crossbelt...till i was left in my undies. They then drew on my body, but luckily,most of the markers were running out of ink,heheh=) Some Boys slapped my stomach, officers slapped my butt, pinching of nipples,etc.. ARghh. Was so exhausted n traumatised after they were done..nw i know how those being "raped" suffered =p After me was Officer Wencong, but everyone was so exhausted that they only did it halfway to him. The officers said that it has been such a long time since the "raping" last happened, n was "revived" again today LOLS!. Anw, has committee debrief, while the Boys were released, n i had to rush off as had dinner to celebrate Perry's bday with family at Long Beach at Holland Village area.
Was so tired when i came bck, so just dropped dead on the bed. Ah, such a long post, whew.. Going to the sch's concert tmr, with Nik,Perry,n my bro. Might be able to see some familiar faces there i tink?, hah. Toddles

WanHao-Clarence
Welcome to Pulau Ubin, where we have 7 guards to be at ur service=]
Well, guess i am the last person to post abt ystdy's Ubin trip, as said by Mengchao,haha. Was supposed to meet at 10am, but only Shaun n i were punctual,hahs. Mengchao n Albert came next, so we headed to Burger King for breakfast since some of us havnt eaten. Jerome, Wan Hao n Clarence came soon after, n we took the train to Tanah Merah b4 taking the bus to the ferry terminal. It rained when we got there..guess the weather report was indeed accurate,hahs. Waited for the rain to stop, so we took pics n spotted 2 dogs..which came into the sheltered place where we were resting. WanHao was very excited to see them doing "it" with each other thgh both were male,hahs!
Finally the rain stopped, so we went to rent the bikes..slightly more ex then the previous one i went, cos we went to a different bike rental, but she gave us new bikes to ride on. Cycled happily, until the 1st accident happened to Mengchao. It happened on a steep slope n a there was a hump at the end of it. To add on, the road was wet n slippery due to the rain. Mengchao said he pressed the right-hand brake( which i told every1 b4 they cycled to use it, instead of the left one,as it slows the bike down instead of jam braking), but he said it cldnt slow the bike down quickly, so he pressed the left one, where his front wheel jammed brake n he flew to the ground,his legs scraping the hard road. Got 6 injuries in total( can see the injuries on his blog or Shaun's one), n the "liquid"..forgot wat it is called...kept ozzing out of the wounds.
We occured more n more accidents along the way after tat, with WanHao crashing into Jerome while playing, or sometimes failing to look wats in front of him. Albert was unstable with the controling of the bike due to abt 5 yrs not riding it, n fell a number of times. In the end, 2 out of 7 of us were injured, the rest just suffered sme small,little cuts n mosquito bites,hehheh. As there were a few praying shelters along the way, WanHao got down to pray for us, hoping less accidents will occur to us, but in the end, it didnt work. He even got to the extent of going up to a temple to bless us, after passing by one. However, guess he wasnt tat sincere engh, so we were nt tat blessed,haha!. But thngs started to change a little, as we met a few ppl who offered us help to aid the 2 injured ppl, and our tour became more fun, with nice sceneries to look at n cool breezes brushing against our face as we raced down the slopes, but by taking precautions for fear of another one of us getting injured=D
WanHao then suddenly went on an insect-killing spree after seeing a millipede n decided to kill it as he said it scared him n said the more he looked at it, the more he feel lyk killing it, so he had no choice but to kill it, HAHHAS!! , wat a "perfect" excuse=D The killings then carried on followed by a spider and a caterpillar. N the thing was tat all 3 insects were killed within the same area,hahs. Shaun then led us to a rocky trail, which i guess all of us enjoyed the most, n he said he plans to brg us try the Double Diamond Black. The board explained tat it is a trail consisting of tricky obstacles, steep slopes, rocky n rough terrains. Yes, it wld be fun, but dangerous too! haha.
Cycled arnd a few more times,covering almost 3/4 of the island, b4 returning the bikes n heading back to the ferry point, thereafter,the mainland,n dinner time!=D Sat bus 59 n as said by Clarence, the bus journey was v long...longest bus jorney i had ever sat within S'pore in my whole life. 1st time i dislyk sitting in a SBS bus cos of the long journey and the long hrs of cycling, which made me have butt cramps..so uncomfortable =p Reached Bishan Interchange after 80 mins,then headed home. My legs felt weak n cramped up as i climbed the overhead bridge..as if i was cycling uphill,then going down the stairs was lyk cycling downhill,hahha. Anw, dun tink we might go bck to Pulau Ubin again, since it gave us such bad luck, 1st thng we touch down on the island,it rained, then 2nd thng was we got injured,hahs. See hw, mayb our luck might change nxt time we head bck there=]
Today was fine with Eng remedial, n the best thing about today is that i completed reading Naruto manga online,thgh there are more episodes to be uploaded by the ppl. Anw, my plan was to finish reading n start to get on with studying,hahs. So nw i can carry out this plan finally=) LDC Camp in 3 days time!

Got back report book on Fri with dad, results were not good as expected, B3 was the highest grade among all the subjects,hahs. Worst results i have gotten in my entire life..no kidding.. Time to buck up / wake up! Dad told me to work harder n plan my time management, he said just bear for a few more mths then it can rest. After that bear for a little longer for nxt year, and I can have rest whenever i lyk. He has been telling me since i was in Pri sch, n all i can reply was : "yea,okay, i will work hard". But all these words doesnt have any promise in them as i always didnt hit his or mum's expectations despite all of that promises n rewards.
Mr Ng said tat i am quite strong in my humanities n languages, which cld allow me to take Arts courses in Poly. He also said my character wise is good, but dunno why my results turn out lyk tat. I myself dunno why too..perhaps laziness..then slack too much? Guess so =p Anw Mr Ng n Mrs Helen Tan said to make full use of the hols to revise n stuff, which i thnk everybody is doing nw.. " Don't give up on anything. Find your dreams and realise them. Obstacles may seem like a solid wall, but actually, it's just thin air ". Read these phrase on today's paper which was quoted frm a young teen whom was suffering frm end-stage kidney failure n loves reading despite losing 95% of her sight. Her dream is to be an author, and has wrote a 12,000 word story in just 6 weeks. Anw, CHERRRY UPPY to those who didnt get their expected results,hahhas=) It isnt too late to turn arnd, if u noe ur bad/weak points. Just got to work hard to change it or make it "stronger".
Watched "Narnia,Prince Caspian" on Sat, really nice..nicer than part one, but abit draggy. Think Jerome must be lyk giving me these face -.- if he noes tat i watched it, as he n the rest wanted to watch it..but cldnt fixed a date since everyone is busy. Sry ar..cos my dad bought the tickets without me noeing, then no choice but to watch,heheh. Anw, going to Pulau Ubin (again!), cos Shaun they all want to cycle at there. Meeting tmr at 10am, City Hall MRT. Do hope the weather will be great,hahha=)
Also,watched with mum, the new TV series on Channel U, "The Legend" on every weekends. It is a Korean show,about mystical things n stuff in ancient times. Starrs Bae Yong Jun, the Korean n Japan heart-throb actor which has attracted many fans with his good looks. My mum is one of them,hahs. Wah..i think i have bcome an "encourager" in this post,lol. Anw my 1st encouragement went well with MengChao, do hope it helps,hahas. Hoping LDC camp on Fri-Sun wld be a good one, wld be staying over in sch on Thurs night. Signing off!
