The Day I Talk About The Yellow Ribbon Project

Woke up early this morning to go for the walk in support of the Yellow Ribbon Project. It was a wonderful experience, and I had a really good time bonding with my classmates (those who were actually present for that thing, that is). Other than the whole useless publicity for Jack Neo's new movie about ex-convicts (I mean, how many times can you use the same people from the J-Team for the Jack Neo movies. Jack Neo, if you're reading this, your movies are BORING...") and the scorching sunshine, it was a rather fun walk.

Today, I saw some anonymous tagger's tag on my tagboard again. Oddly, I'm not angry. I mean, seriously, if they wanna tag rubbish, I can't do anything about it. But it's just weird to know how people can relentlessly attempt to disturb someone as if they've got nothing better to do. Oh well, it's your life. Do what you want. *sigh*

Lets talk about the last few days:

Yesterday, a dead sparrow fell down from a tree and onto my head. It was DISGUSTING. In CAPS. I've never kena-ed birdshit before and now I kena a dead bird. Like major EEW. Oh well, I guess we all get weird stuff happening to us once or twice in our lives anyway. Ok, maybe or than once or twice.

The day before yesterday, I pretty much just slacked at home and did revision for the promos. Nothing much to talk about.

The day before the day before yesterday, I went bcak to Cat High and saw some teachers. It was ok, but I didn't get to see all the teachers that I'd wanted to meet, but I guess I'll meet up with them some other time. Then at night, we celebrated Dad's birthday at Sun and Moon, a lovely little posh Japanese restaurant at Wheelock Place, level Three. The food was WONDERFUL, DELICIOUS, HEAVENLY, (add in a nice-tasting adjective here)...

Ok, shall go off now to do more promo-revision. Ciao!

The Day I Talk About My Life Thus Far

Time for an evaluation of my life so far this year.

There have been many ups and downs (like who's life doesn't, right?). I thought I've escaped the dreadful sniping by the "Justin Jap Hate-Club: Let's HATE Him Together cos he's so fucking gaaay and we're all a bunch of testesterone-filled homophobic MCP's with EQ's the size our tits and IQ's the depth of our rectums!!! Boo him! Boo him!Yay!"

But NO... They had to find a way to ruin my already miserable life by tagging some useless and senseless BS on my tag-board. Oh well... "Like, whatever." (quote: Jon Jonsson. Jonssen. Jonson. Hiya, I dunno how to spell. Stupid ang mohs.) *rolls-eyes*

I've almost completely lost touch with my 1st-3-months MI clique-mates, but I hope to see them again (hopefully after promos and PW). Talking about PW, that bloody subject is driving me up the wall. My group is practically not doing anything about it. I'm now typing the Written Report draft (with what little information I've gathered on my own. *sigh*) and hoping Ms Tang won't kill us tomorrow. But I'm not very hopeful.

Just watched the Project Superstar (Girls) reunion special repeat telecast this afternoon. I have never seen such outrageously hypocritical people gathering together, bunching and giggling as one on national TV before. I mean, if you really hate each other, stop pretending you're friends! Then again, they're under a Mediacorp contract for the show. The industry is soooo dark and dirty. And did I mention the garishly dressed, hopelessly tone-deaf and terribly off-tempo eliminated contestants returning on that show to bring us grief yet again on national tv? *shivers*

On the relationship front, I'm still single and available. If only the right ONE could come along and knock on my door... Then again, girls are high maintanence. And with my current income level, I can't afford a high maintanence girlfriend. No offence to my girlfriends but hey, it's a fact. Don't tell me you don't want your boyfriends to pay for everything. :P
No, seriously, I can't afford one. I'm not that rich (which is a misconception of many who assume that only-child's get all the bling-bling they want.) Unless of course, there is that sopecial someone who understands my current predicament... Hmmm...

I need to get my mind off comics as well. They're really distracting me as I do my work. Maybe someone should borrow all of them and return it to me after my exams. Then maybe I'll start being more productive in doing my work.

I got a Teachers' Day present from one of my kids in church today. My very first Teachers' Day prezzie! So happy... Haha...

Ah. It feels good to bitch about my miserable life again.
Anyway, gotta get back to PW.
Urgh.

So today, I end with a quote from an anonymous person (at least this unknown person says something constructive. Heh.)



Quote of the Day: A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

The Day I Talk About Sex

Sex is good. Just keep the gory details to yourself.
I don't wanna know what you do.
Please...

The Day I Talk About...

I may seem like a perfectionist, doing everything that I have to, to put it in Singaporean terms, being "extra", but I have my reasons. If you should think that I do what I do because I want to be a teachers pet, to be the centre of attraction, and all the yada-yada, then I guess you've got the wrong idea.

I don't have to show people that I am capable, but I do something so that I'll have a peace of mind, knowing that I've done what I'm supposed to do, and I won't feel like I've been irresponsible. But if you like to see it in a negative light, I can't stop you.

I'm here for all to see.

You can judge me, you can have your prejudices, you can put me down, you can love me, you can hate me, you can appreciate me, you can despise me. Blah blah blah.
The bottom-line is: Don't think you know everything about me just because you know who I am.

To the anonymous taggers of my tag-board:
If you really think it's fun to tag my board and do all the talk about me and gays and all the bullshit talk about HIV and whatnot, get a fucking life.

You think it's funny? You're just a cowardly loser who doesn't dare to reveal your identity cos you're fucking scared of me.

I agree, I may be effeminate sometimes, but being effeminate doesn't constitute to being gay. However, being homophobic just shows your immaturity and lack of tolerance for people who are different.

You have something against me, bring it on. If you don't have the guts to do it and say the stuff you say about me in my face, then please, just fuck off.

The Day I Tell What I Feel

Sometimes, being nice ain't neccesarily the right thing to do.

I've tried to talk to you, asked you nicely why you wanna work. You say "For money." Then I try to tell you nicely that "it's really hard to cope with both work and JC life, and unless you really cannot get by, like if your parents aren't able to support you, then you work." You take it negatively, and remain stubborn, standing firm on your ground. I don't continue to talk about you working anymore.

I'd like you to know that it was out of concern that I asked you to stop working. As a friend, I think it is only right that I should respond when I fell you need a jolt back to reality. If not, why would I even bother? But if you insist on doing so, I have no power to persuade you otherwise. It's saddening to see you so tired on Mondays, even though you work only Fridays and Saturdays. Mind you, 8 hours straight is alot of work. But your tiredness has had an adverse effect on our project work group, with you being listless and weary during our Monday discussions.

I'm a frank guy, and I don't want to beat around the bush. I am really unhappy with your attitude and behaviour. If you think our classmates (with the exception of your close friends) are against you for no reason, you are wrong. We may not show it, but I hope you have at least a little bit of empathy to feel at least what we're feeling.

You say "Justin, can you blanja me lunch?", "Justin, can you buy me a drink?" etc, I don't really mind if it's just once or twice. But I feel that you've been taking this for granted. I am not an ATM machine. Yes, I am an only child, but that does not mean that I have inextinguishable pocket-money. Ask yourself, have you only asked me such questions, or have you asked others as well?

Money-wise, if you're afraid to offend your parents by asking for more, do you think your friends will not be offended if you ask them for money? Have some self-respect, be more empathic, think before you speak.

Yes, being frank and straight-forward is good, but being un-tactful is not. The ability to differentiate one from the other shows your maturity level.

I understand your predicament, but I do not understand why you have to do what you do. Please keep in mind that what I have just said above was with no intention of putting you down, but it was done in the hope that if you're seeing this, you can change. If you still feel like you're being ganged-up against after reading this, I suggest that you do some self reflection.

I'll be praying for you.

The Day I Talk About My Life So Far...

Faye has left Singapore over the weekend to the US. Bryna, Andrew and I had a little farewell dinner for her on Saturday evening. It was fun, but I did fell a little sad.

Cos she's leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when she'll be back again...

I hope that she comes back soon.

School has become increasingly frustrating, as the work-load piles up and the promos getting closer and closer. It feels like I've been run over by a 16-wheeler, so crushed and so out of breath. But I've not been pushing myself very hard at all. I guess it's because my incessantly nagging mother, who yaks about my schoolwork all the time. Well, I think it's about time I embrace the pressure and start pressing myself.

My past 5 months in NYJC has been nothing short of amazing.
I'm so glad and blessed to have my classmates, without which I don't think I would have been able to survive. It has been the greatest school-year of my life thus far, although there have been ups and downs (mostly due to my unpredictable and annoying mood-swings). I've never had a class where everybody is so united and helpful.

I was most touched when my classmates made banners for me (and Marcus) during The One. No-one has ever made banners for me. Ever. It really showed how much they cared and how much effort they'd spend for their friends. I've never felt so loved...
I love you guys! (If any of you are even reading this. Heh...)

I'm still confused over certain matters but I guess I'll sort it out soon.
Soon.

The Day I Talk About Shaun

My school buddy:
He's tall, strikingly good-looking and dark. Tall because he's taller than me (but not by much), good looking cause he's got well defined features (it's true), dark because, well, he's Indian (pronounced yeen-dee-en). Heh...

He's funny sometimes, but most of the time, he tries too hard and it becomes really annoying. He has blond-moments almost every other day, but who doesn't right? He's Indian, but he thinks he's African-American. He teaches me "black" slangs once in awhile and I must say, it's pretty enriching.

He gets on my nerves, and he knows exactly what to do to piss me of. Or at least he tries to. But I know he means no harm. He brings me laughter when I'm down, hope when I despair. For 5 months, it seems like we've known each other for an age.

His name is Shaun.
He's my buddy and I love him very muchly (even though he's got so many flaws).

TO Shaun: If you're reading this, thanks for everything. You're a great friend to have...

The Day I Did My Photoshoot

Nothing much to say.
School sucked. Badly.
I'm sorry if I scared anyone with my state today. I'm going through a rough patch.

Here's a pic of me after the photoshoot for my com-card.

The Day I Cried Over Some Korean Drama Show

Time for appeasement.
First of all, let me make myself clear. All the photos on my blog are for viewing pleasure. I apologise if I have offended anyone by putting them up.

Now, for the boring details of my past 2 days in school:

Yesterday
School was pretty boring today, other than the fact that I got to see my ever so lovely Lit teacher. The Madame Ogre had us go through Shakespeare's Measure for Measure. I like Shakespeare, mind you, but I cannot tolerate her lessons on my beloved Bard's play. She just bores me to death, or near-death.

I guess I just gotta bear with it.

Afternoon PE took a toll on my weak thighs (I forgot about warm-ups) and I'm suffering the repercussions of numbing soreness of my thighs. Shaun made an incredibly blond comment on his hair. He was like, "I realised I've never combed my hair before in my life."
Seeing how he has none to begin with...
(-_-") *cue rolling eyes*

Today
It was a nice rainy morning, perfect for sleeping in. But the responsible school-boy in me made sure I woke up at the usual time and got to school on time for morning assembly even though my first lesson was at 9.40am. Damned conscience!!!

Had a nice chat with Sean, Kitson, Yuxi and Anita this morning in the canteen. Lessons were ok, and I got to watch Jessica Alba in HONEY! Man, Alba is HOT!!! Lovely show, like an extended MTV with thin shreds of not-very-inspirational plot. But it was an enjoyable watch, no less.

After a period of observation, I noticed that I've been pretty schitzo of late. Chippy on one day, moody on another. And while watching the stupid Korean drama finale just now, I cried. While I was eating. I'm having terrible mood swings and it's scaring me. Really scaring me.

I guess my heart's been too broken.

I'm such a cow...

The Day I Got My New Harry Potter Book

Church was fine today.
Perfect.

As usual, I was at the K2 class today. I've begun to suspect that one of my kids is autistic. He laughs at the most inappropriate times (to himself, no less) and doesn't talk. At all. And sometimes, he'd just come up to the white-board when I'm writing and wipes off my words even before I finish writing a sentence. And I've got another boy who has been showing disruptive behavior. Thankfully, I can handle problem kids (by kids I mean 6-year-olds, mind you. Any older and I think I'd die.)

I also happened to make a new friend today. He's Tim's Confirmation classmate and he's from Indo! Like my Dad! (For those who still dunno the reason for my wierd surname "Jap", now you do.) We played pool at Kim Seng Plaza after class today. Man, I've so lost touch with the game. Bloody 'ell...

After that, me and Timmy got back to church for the Christmas peagant rehearsals. I felt so awkward (being a 17-year-old) among the kids but they were really cute. I'm doing narrating for the "Birth Of Jesus, Our Emmanuel" play that'll happen before Christmas mass, my partner being a 11-year-old girl (sister of one of my K2's), the one who called me Uncle.
I'm excited already. *sighs*

I'm supposed to be young but I feel old.
The greatest and perhaps, saddest irony of my life.

Oh yeah, I got my copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince today. Costed me only $28. Don't ask how. I'm not telling... :P

The Day I Visit The New National Library

Today was an ok day.
Had my first out-of-school GP lecture at The School Of Thought (TSOT in short). In my opinion, it was a really good lecture. The notes were very comprehensive and I gained new knowledge (in a way).
Today was also the day when RW asked me out after eons of our previous meeting. Seems like he had nobody else to ask out (due to the NDP 2005 rehearsal today, or so I assume) so he called me. And so happened I was free after TSOT, so I decided to meet up with him.
Met him at Raffles City and we walked around a little after lunch

Me & RW (at The LIFE Shop)
Me shooting. Him fixing his hair. As usual...

After walking around and some moments of bitching, I suggested we visit the new National Library at North Bridge Road (somewhere near Raffles City). And so we went...

The New National Library
Nice view from bottom up...

And that goon wanted to search for "Phil Kell", or somebody with a name close to that, on the new library's searching system (he's some accomplished painter, or something), so we keyed in the keywords, waited for 10 minutes and the machine was still searching at the speed of a crawling grandma. In the end, due to our waning patience with the increasingly annoying idiot-box, we walked away.

Then we walked around and viewed some exhibits. The library was incredible...

NO Creativity Allowed (BY LAW)
A nice poster I saw at one of the exhibits.

Well after we left the library, we went to Bugis Junction where be basically just walked around and bumped our way through waves and waves of people. It was bloody irritating, partly due to the immense lack-of-air and the huge crowd.

I hate crowds.

I left after awhile to meet my mum for dinner and left him alone to wait for his friend. The rest of my night is unimportant, dry information that is not worth devulging on this blog. Thankyew.

The Day It Rained Really Heavily

I got home at 12.30 today (but I've gotta go back to school later at 4 for a GP lecture *sigh*).
I must say, it's been quite awhile since I last blogged, so I've got lotsa things to add!

Last Weekend
Saturday
Jerrick is back in Singapore!!! I met him (together with Aaron, Jianye, Zhen Xiong, Wei Da, Joel Kang, Daniel) at Coffee Bean (Ngee Ann City). After chatting for awhile, we went to Cathay Cineleisure for lunch and chat some more. It was really nice meeting my old friends again...
After going our seperate ways at Borders, Daniel and I took a stroll to Heerens where I saw some very cute "western-heroes" cosplayers walking around the place. After awhile, Dan had to leave so I called Emmanuel and went to look for him at Shaw Towers.

There, I was introdused to his mates, Roy and Sean. Cool people, I tell you. ;)
We hung around Orchard, walked till our legs ached and had lotsa fun!!! Especially at Toys 'R' Us Express (in Paragon). We played with the wierd Barney toys and got some wierd looks but who the hell actually cares, right? Haha...

Here's a pic of us having fun (with Emmanuel):

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Manbo with lovely flowers

Anyways, we had a really good time. I made new friends!!! Whee!!! *grins*

Sunday
Taught the kids again. Today was on "We Are Special". Indeed, the kids are special. They've become increasingly rowdy and untamed over the course of the last month. I have half a mind to send out e-mails warning their parents on watching the sugar-intake of their beloved offspring just in case they get out of hand at home too. But they're just too cute. Huyperactive kids put me in a dilemma.... *sighs*

After church, I went for my Artiste Orientation at The Avalon. I made a new friend! His name is Desmond and he's from the sports school. He's damn shy though. The orientation programme was really dry and I was bored close to death. Luckily Marcus was there to make funny faces at me or I would have just died.
There was this Japanese woman in the workshop who's introduction was "I want to be a STAR!" She irritated the hell out of me with her wide-mouthed smile (imagine Christy Chung) and horribly American-accented English. I mean, wassup with the accent, y'mean?

Today
School was boring.
Anne Victor, my "stunning" Literature teacher, bitched with her horrendously booming voice over the bloody speakers during lecture again. I mean, if you've got such a loud voice, why bother even using the damned mike? I was fantasizing about stuffing a cow into her great, wide trap and enjoying myself watching her choke to death when Shaun (pronounced Shah-Oon) poked me and snapped me back to reality. Damn you Shaun!!!
She was talking about Shakespeare's plays today, something about MacDuth killing MacBeth then eating McDonalds or something.

I so want to bitch-slap her... Urgh!!!

MARVEL has been getting on my nerves as well. The sodding House of M event has screwed with my favourite titles and characters. I would be dropping them if the post-HOM events do not satisfy my fan-boy needs. DC is calling out to meeee....

Some of the screwed up titles. And my favourite characters... *sobs*

The Day I Rhyme

A Little Boy's Life - Jap

Bad news
it came last night.
Went to bed,
I didn't cry.
Looked up and
stared the night.
Closed my eyes,
and saw my pride.

Don't lose your cool
Don't lose your mind
It's all part and parcel
Whenever you try
You fail
You stand up again
You hurt
You cry to ease your pain
It's all a part of life,
It's all part of a little boy's life.

Woke up,
was 8.21.
Told myself,
"I'll be alright."
Took a shower,
that lasted an hour.
All freshened up,
I faced the new day.

Saw the doctor,
I felt much fear.
But after listening,
fear walked away.
And I assured myself
again,
"I'm alright"
"I'm alright"

Don't lose your cool
Don't lose your mind
It's all part and parcel
Whenever you try
You fail
You stand up again
You hurt
You cry to ease your pain
It's all a part of life,
It's all part of a little boy's life.

The Day After CHMA 2005

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!
WHEE!!!


Well, it's been a good week for me. Firstly, because I managed to complete all my exam papers. Secondly, the long awaited CHMA 2005's over. Honestly, the show was comparatively paler than last years, with the exception of the last-minute inclusion of Singapore's local rock-band, Ronin. They really brought the noise (cue ear-drums ringing)!!! Check them out at http://www.roninriot.com/.

Here's a quick recap of the show:

Competition

Solo Vocals
6 Contestants

Host Mark Tan announces that 4 out of 6 solo vocalists were doing chinese songs. First up, we had Neo Ren Jie. He did an ok (but slightly pitchy) performance of Li Sheng Jie's "Shou Fang Kai". Next, it was Neo Gen Rong. He gave an un-R&B version of Taufik's "I Dream". To be honest, I expected better of him. But he didn't fare too badly. After him, it was Richard Liman. He sang the Cantonese version of the Snow.Wolf.Lake. theme-song (orignally done by Jackie Cheung). It didn't sound very Cantonese to me though, cos of his unclear articulation.

Following his perfomance, we saw Matthew Fam, who brought us a drag-queenish version of Wet Wet Wet's "Love Is All Around". I must say, it was the most entertaining vocal performance of the night. The 2nd last performance was by Tan Zhi Yi, we gave a rather weak performance of Lee Hom's "Ai Cuo". I felt that his David Tao song was much better compared to last night's. The final vocalist, Tan Shi Yong, could easily compete with the "Careless Whisperer" of Singapore Idol fame. He practically whispered the whole song! I can't remember the title but it was some Chinese song. So that wrapped up the night's vocalists' performances.

My rating: 2/5

Comments:
Overall, the vocalists were rather unimpressive with the lack of power, practise and stage-presence. They could have done much better with the right song choices. It was the night's least outstanding performance group.

Instrumentalists
5 Contestants

Lin Si Hao took the stage first with his own composition on the piano, which sounded like a mix of Guang Liang's "Tong Hua" and some other mainstream pop tunes. Pretty interesting. Next, we heard from Steven Teo on the piano as well. Don't know the name of the piece he was playing but he played like it was a recording, which can only ba a good thing. The following 2 contestants both played on the electone. The first electonist (is it what they're called?), Andrew Ng did a spectacular job with his own conposition, which sounded very much like the tune you'll hear while playing Final Fantasy during the battle scenes. It sounded great, nonetheless.

During this, the air-conditioning broke down. Due to the increasing humidity and heat level, many of the audience uprooted from their seats and walked out of the hall. It was something that I find most distasteful about last night. It is incredibly rude to walk out of a performance, especially when the performer is trying his best to put up a good show. Anyways, the air-con did come back on and the performances proceeded as usual. The other electonist, Wong Fei Yang, did a marvelous job with his own masterpiece. It was incredible. The final performaer in the category was Dexter Tan of Ecnerret fame. He displayed his great skills on the drum-set and wowed pretty much all the audiences, including me.

My rating: 4/5

Comments
The instrumentalists gave enjoyable performances and would have definitely made the judges job really difficult. I enjoyed myself the most during this segment of last night's programme and in my opinion, it was the most outstanding performance category from last night.

Bands
4 Groups

First up, it was Isthmus. The band played an original composition titled" Empty Void". Their music was pretty good, but it was marred by weak vocals from their lead vocalist. Following them, we had Reef entertaining us with a song by Altar Bridge. It was an impressive display of loud drumming and border-line vocals. Following their performance, DeCon took the stage. I must say, they were the real rockers of the night. They were really good. Lastly, we had Ecnerret, the winners of last year's CHMA in the same category. They were good as well, but were overshadowed by the rousing performance of the band before them. So there we have it, the end of the night's competition.

My Rating: 3/5

Comments
This category fared relatively well, as the music played was good. However, the groups could improve more vocally. It wasn't the worst performance category, but it wasn't the best either.

Guest Items
The first guest item was done by Ronin. They brought the house down with 2 of their original compositions. I must say, even though I'm no hard rock or metal fan, I was impressed. They were very, very professional. The second guest item was done by the winners of last year's group vocal category, Bleached, consisting of 2 members, Justin Seng and Ang Wei Ye. They gave a great performance on a medley of raps from the famous white-rapper, Eminem. The audience went wild with the 2 of them taking stage. It was incredible. Afther them, I took stage as the former champion of last year's CHMA. It was good to be on that stage again.
The last item was done by the Catholic High (Primary) Modern Dance group. They were extremely adorable and talented. I had a great time watching them on stage.

Results
Winners of each category are:

Solo Vocals: Tan Zhi Yi
Instrumentalists: Wong Fei Yang
Bands: DeCon

Overall Champion: Wong Fei Yang

It was a great night and I enjoyed myself immensely.

The Day I Diss SPG

What's wrong with Singaporean men?
Apparently, everything.

I've been rather ticked off and disgusted by SPG's blog hoo-hah. Sure, caucasian men are better... All the better to do it with them, innit? All the money, all the gifts.. Let's see, how shall I diss sarong party girls? Hmmm... Let me put myself in an SPB's (Sarong Party Boy) shoes...
(No offense to my Asian girl friends, if any of you are reading this. I'm typing this in spite and parody.)

Why Caucasian Women Are Better

1) They can carry off street and punk wear. Asian girls do that and look like sluts. Either that or they look lian.

2) They are better in bed. Bigger boobs (usually). Woo hoo!!!

3) They tend to be more beautiful than Asian girls, even without make-up. All that fair skin... *swoons*

Now now... How would you feel if you were an Asian girl and you read that? Just imagine how Asian men feel when they read about their degraded selves on SPG's blog.

[For the disgusting article on "Why White Men?", try http://sarongpartygirl.blogspot.com/2004/04/why-white-expats.html]

I just want to add that SPG's comments on Singaporean men are absolutely stereotypical and extreme, baseless concepts.
Ah.
I feel much better already...

The Day I Revamped My Blog

AH.
New post in the new blog layout!
Isn't it much nicer looking now? The whole yaoi thing was beginning to get boooring. And I managed to figure out the whole html code myself! Am I good or what?
Ok, html stuff may be simple to some people, but I'm a newbie to it. So by achieving this feat, I think I deserve a pat on my back. *pat's my own back*

The past week has been pretty slooow. I've been home doing my revision most of the week.
The only exciting things that happened were on Monday and Tuesday.

Monday
My dear friend, K, attempted suicide due to a broken heart. Long story short, after I found out what happened, I rushed over to his place, talked things through with him and stayed the night to make sure he'd be fine, and left the next morning. Last I heard, he's back to normal and is doing well with his girlfriend. K, if you're reading this, I hope you're ok. ;)

Tuesday
After leaving K's place (with roughly 1.5 hours of sleep), I got home, changed, and left for Sentosa. Long story short (yes, again), we celebrated Joon Yee's (my current classmate) birthday with a game of volleyball and kayaking at Siloso beach. Pity the Sun didn't come out. Nevertheless, we had fun.

To summarise my whole week, one word'll be enough:
BORING.

Shall add my comments on the overrated SPG's (Sarong Party Girl) blog and other trivial matters tomorrow. Haha. Stay tuned. :)

The Day I Post For My Friend

自己还是不要去想吧,我认为是自己自作多情...烦恼中........

好不容易办到了签证,现在终于来到了X国,每天都和她相处,虽然现在只是我到X国的第4天,自己觉得很困惑.她,是我一个好朋友,她的父母也是我父母的好朋友.至于怎么跟她认识的,那就不说了,故事太长,所以在此忽略.我认识她也有4年了,从我有的第一个女朋友到第二个女朋友到现在单身..一起在Y市的时候我们每天都出门,因为她在Y市的唯一的朋友就是我.以前也只是她回Y市时我们经常每天一起出门,到晚上就各自回家.可是现在我来到了X国,就住在她家,她和她父母住楼上,我住楼下.每天朝夕共处.有时一起玩玩捉谜藏,有时一起游泳.反正每天都会在一起相处.我们的父母和她的亲戚都以为我们真的在一起.可是事实是否定的,在他们面前我们好像情人形影不离,无所不谈.当然也没有牵手什么的.我们这样可能是因为我们真的是很要好的朋友吧...其实真正的事实还有另外一个原因,其实她是有所谓的男朋友,可是那个"男朋友"是个女孩子,她父母以前曾经知道这个人的存在,还闹到了那个女孩来她家和她父母谈判,但是肯定的结果是我朋友的父母强迫她和她分手.可是事实是,她还在瞒着她的父母和那个女孩交往.他们见面时间很少因为那个女孩在X国的一边,而我朋友在X国的另一边..所以他们见面的机会也很少.现在我来到了她家,也是她实行计划E的时候,也就是以我作掩护,让她的父母认为我和她在交往,而她就继续和她"男朋友"交往.可能这样会显得我很傻,但是我愿意作她得掩护.说实话,起初愿意,是因为出于我们是好朋友,我愿意帮这个忙.可是,我慢慢发现,我真得喜欢上了她.喜欢她得性格,喜欢她得为人处事.就这几天,她跟我说,她觉得对她"男朋友"没感觉,但是她认为自己还爱她.她问我怎么办.一般得时候,经常有人这样问我,我都答得很轻松,可是这次不同了我答得很难受,因为我知道自己喜欢她,可是我不可能乘人之危做些只为了自己得事情.所以我跟她说,放弃与继续都是你得选择.还有一点我很清楚的事,我也告诉她了,那就是,每当一对情侣其中一个突然有这样的感觉,可以这么说吧,明天早上你睡醒后,你还会觉得你很需要她,因为你的另一方已经成为了你的一种习惯...她只是听着我说,也没说什么,过后我们就换话题了...我现在能做的是默默的帮她,帮她洗碗,帮她拖地,反正我能在这个屋檐下能帮她的都帮她了...可能我现在算是一种暗恋吧,可是我很矛盾,是她真的一点感觉都没有,还是我自己自作多情.我想应该是自己自作多情...暗地里喜欢着一个人,帮她,关心她...其实也是一种爱吧...我想就让我继续维持这种暗地里的关怀吧...祝福她和她男朋友....

The Day I Found Out

Whoa. Almost one month never blogged liao. Woohoo! Ok, here goes:

The past month...

I've been having a great time in school, except for the days when I forget to bring my tutorials AND have to complete it within the same day (it only happened twice. But still... Urgh! *slaps self*) I guess through these 3 months, I've made really good friends in school, with my classmates in particular. I realised that my past 4 years in Cat High wasn't as fufilling as I thought it was. How many true friends did I make? I have no idea.
I don't mean to compare but in my current class, everybody is so together. I can actually feel our class spirit when we're with each other (and that's a good thing, mind you), something which I have never experienced in my past 10 years of primary and secondary education. *sigh*

I miss my MI clique.

In May, me and Marcus too part in some funcky school singing competition. After 3 rounds (1st round: judging, 2nd & 3rd round: voting), we came out 2nd. Not bad for Year Ones (we were the only people from J1 to make it to the finals *head swells*). Yay...
At least they gave us $50 HMV vouchers. Cat High CHMA? Two plastic "trophies". Did I mention that we got Artiste Management after the competition as well? Yes, and that too. How cool is that?

This months so far...

I just got home on Sunday night for a 30 Hour Famine Camp organised by World Vision over the weekend. No food for 30 hours. I thought I'd die but I made it through eventually. Three cheers for meeee!!! Whee!!! Well, what don't kill you only makes you stronger, eh? Haha... *sings I Will Survive*

We had some lessons during the hols and today was my final lecture (Geography). I got back my results of the term test and surprisingly, I passed with acceptable results! Wow... I might be going tomeither Hong Kong, Chiang Mai or Hanoi next week. Dunno if I can get air tickets at this time though. Hmmm...
