Umm... Can't say I've had a bad week so far, but can't say that I haven't got a good week as well... Okie, the Homecoming Day on last Saturday was a major flop... I was supposed to be in school by 0715 for the Walk-a-thon, but then I decided to skip it cos it was all pointless, but Mrs Pang woke me from my beautiful dreams at 0730, then she hollered at me to get my ass down immediately, but I dragged and only managed out of home at 0830... Then went to meet Yicheng, Luke and Fred... Stupid Luke, he was supposed to be in charge of designing the posters, but he only remembered on that morning. So we spent about two hours designing the poster with shoddy workmanship, then sneaked into school to pass Jie Yu the poster, bought towels for ourself, then scram... But I was feeling so guilty cos Mrs Pang was expecting me to be coordinating, so I went back to help, managed to sell about fifteen towels along, then left at around 1400... It was terrible anyway... Mrs Pang was very grumpy that the manpower was very little, so she started calling everyone to come down to school... Haha, smart me... I got away before she caught me... Then I spent the rest of the day slacking at Cheryn's house, then went over again at night to lend her my maths textbook...

School starting again is bad news for me... First thing back to school and I have to rush three Chinese essays... I sort of forgotten entirely about them, and the new time-table positioned Chinese period on the next day, so I gotta complete them... Not bad, I managed to rush it in time and still manage to sleep before midnight... Yesterday was another mediocre day... Went down to Junction 8 with Luke after school to get Biru's and my sister's birthday presents... Biru's birthday is today, then my sis's is 8 July. And guess what? I saw both of them at J8... Biru was with this guy from her school (hint hint...), then my sister was shopping for presents as well... I mean, just my luck to bump into them while I was getting their presents... Then I saw Cheryn too, who was in a grumpy mood like Mrs Pang on Saturday... Cheer up man!! What's with the world and Mr Grumpy??

Well, happy birthday to you Biru... And I will not be buying your lousy tickets...

Ahh... Finally it's the end of the week. This week has been quite good, considering that I managed to get a lot of things accomplished... And God bless me, I don't know what's becoming of me... I find myself listening to a lot of children's songs lately... I like the tune of "Clementine", but "Horsey Horsey" is stupid... Even praise'n'worship songs are replaced by "Here I Am To Worship FOR KIDS"... Well, maybe I'm just missing my childhood days. Erm, I sort of find the kids' voices a bit soothing... I mean, the way they sing is significantly different from what adults sing, cos their voices have a kind of innocence attached to it. Oh right... Go watch Barney if you have the time... They got some awesome kids songs...

Hmm... I'm sort of degenerating into some kind of studying machine... So far I've been doing a lot of revision on Physics and A Maths, then I gotta take a leaf out of Fred's book and start on Chemistry soon, which sort of leaves my Humanities for the next week or some other day... I think I'm going cuckoo pretty soon. Studying is taking its toll on me... I mean, it's the holidays!! And what am I doing? Spending my precious time on studying. It's a pointless activity that is sapping away my youth, a vindictive way devised by the teachers to chain you to your desks and face the textbooks... But it can't be helped. Prelims 2 are starting in mid-July, so at least I'm slightly prepared for it... And I feel a GREAT sense of achievement on my part... Heh... GUAN YOU is STUDYING...

Anyway, life's pretty good. I've been eating regularly, although I still give that lunch break a miss occasionally... And I've been sleeping quite a fair bit most of the time. I think it's all those energy drained on homework and the textbooks... I would never have thought that I would enjoy sleeping that much, but I did... So all I do now is give a big YAWN, then to bed we go.

I'm listening to Avalon's "Testify To Love" right now. I think it was Biru who said that this song has a very nice tune... Yup, I gotta agree with her. Catchy beat, meaningful lyrics...

Okie. I'm having loads of fun right now... There's lessons for me practically everyday, but I still feel happy... Maybe it's because I've skipped some of those pointless ones, so it's not that bad... Heh... Feeling slightly guilty about me being naughty... And I seemed to visit a lot of people's houses these few days. It started on last Friday, I popped over to Cheryn's house after History to go play with her. It wasn't exactly playing, but more of sitting down in front of the weird TV and watching it play some images. Poking Cheryn was more fun anyway... And I think History bored me, cos I fell asleep there... That's not all. Yesterday after Physics, I was supposed to be due in Chemistry, but I "forgot" about it and went to Wilfred's house instead, with Luke and Yicheng. Went down to Thomson Plaza initially, but Fred says to go eat at the hawker centre at his house. Saw Andre at Thomson Plaza, was laughing at Luke about being the weirdo, Wilfred was all acidic with his snide remarks... At Fred's house, there was nothing much to do except slack... I recalled watching Superman on Kids Central, then Luke was trying to crack this Spider Solitaire game which he lost consecutively in five games (Yicheng got it on first try, I had to settle for two games)... Then played with Fred's collection of Gundam figurines, left with Luke an hour later, saw Kwang Han on the bus while we were waiting for our bus, (we beckoned him to come down from his bus, but he refused), then had one of those rare long chats with Luke while on the bus... And today? It's two houses that I've visited. First, after History in the morning, I saw Fred, Yich, Leon, Alex and Basuki going to Alex's house. So naturally, I tagged along... Went there to play with Dodger (Alex's dog), which we kinda enjoyed teasing. We'll try and roll this toy-ball (that Dodger loves to chew) between it's legs, then we'll go 'Ole'... Very lame... After Alex's house was one-and-a-half-hour of English with Mrs Bala, then I hopped over to Michael's house to pass him my Maths TYS... Not bad... All the houses had messy rooms, and I thought my study table alone was messy enough... Lucky thing is my room is messy-free, cos I share it with my sis. That's that, then Kevin at the fabric printing factory said the towel design is finalised and he'll send it for printing. Still couldn't locate Mrs Pang; I think she went for a holiday. I missed everybody as usual, but it's not that bad, cos I've been studying... I can't believe it. I'M ACTUALLY STUDYING... Can't be helped anyway, Prelim 2 is in 5 weeks time, and I've got to start somewhere... And I gotta start eating and sleeping more... And I've still got that wonderful Gmail that Ben Wong and Derek Khor are coo-ing over... Think I'll make them buy me lunch first before I send them the invitation... *Cue: Evil laughter starts here*

Well, I'm bored again. Actually I feel like sleeping, but somehow I still feel energetic... Must be those stupid Frosties... I woke up at 0800 yesterday morning and was overcame with a sudden hunger pang, so I opened the cereal box containing the Frosties that I've bought the day before, ate some, then poured the rest into a big bowl and sat in front of the computer... I was feeling very drowsy for the entire of yesterday cos I only got to sleep at 0300 in the morning, and it's not helping when you are bored and sitting in front of the computer doing nothing constructive. Erm, I did manage to complete two Maths assignments... Goodness, those Frosties are definitely satanic. They are by itself honey-sweet, but it comes coated with extra sugar, so what you get is sugary cereal that is very sweet... So I was online for a while, got some funny feeling, ate Frosties, then moved the mouse to deactivate the screen saver, then ate more Frosties... What a sad life... But hey, there were some nice interruptions in between. Managed to contact Luke (finally), chatted with him a while, then called Cheryn who was watching some kids cartoon and being all weird over the characters. After that, I ate yet more Frosties, then Chris Ngoh called me twice later. The first was that he wanted to borrow some money from me, so now he owes me a grand total of $14. The second call was a plea for help, cos he became bored as well. He wanted me out of house to go do something together, but I was lazy, and he decided to go Felix's house but eventually did not. For me, I blew up three balloons and was playing with them... At around 1730, I finally left house, was at the bus-stop to meet Ngoh and Cheryn, then go over to the Festival Of Praise at Indoor Stadium. Ngoh was in this ridiculous pink shirt, as usual... Took a bus there, I was commenting about how men and transport system don't click well, Ngoh was disagreeing, Cheryn was agreeing. Then a few stops before Kallang, Dora came on board the bus and we went for the FOP together... It took us about 20 minutes to walk into the Indoor Stadium, then there was this long queue already there. I guess it's Hillsongs, that's why... Anyway, when we eventually went in, Yan Peng met us. She managed to reserve seats for us, then Sheena manage to find us. Yan Peng was with a bunch of friends from FCBC, then she told me some secret which I was teasing her about... I can't tell the secret, else it won't be a secret... Sat there, waited at least half an hour, and when the Hillsongs team came out, everybody shouted... Wow, the atmosphere to praise God was really there. There were a lot of youths, and when they started to worship everyone started to jump wildly. The experience is just... Mind-blowing, to see so many people worshipping in such a spirited jest simultaneously. It's definitely moving, and Hillsongs were really good. Darlene Zschech had this superb voice that Ngoh and Sheena were cooing over, then it was flanked by excellent guitars by Marty Sampson, and the bass was awesome. There was this giant sound mixer just a few steps below from where we are seated, then I could see the equalizer from where I was. There was a constant deep bass and the ground trembled when the drummer stepped on the amplified bass drum... Without guessing, I was blown over... Then when they asked all the youths to come down in front of the stage to dedicate their lives to God's ministries, Ngoh was pushing me to go, but I didn't really feel like going down. But he was pushy, so I ended up going down the steps with him. Woo... Any doubts that I had initially about NOT commiting my future, it must be Satan at work. Once that guy led us through prayer, I was feeling very refreshed with His guidance, which was a good thing... On the way back to our seats, I saw Ben Wong on the giant TV screen, then Yurong was telling me much later that she saw me and Ngoh, but she lost sight of us. Anyway, me and Ngoh were the ones who were lost, cos we took a wrong turning up the stairs and had to search where Yan Peng and Cheryn were... After that, it was more Hillsongs songs and more bass for me. But by then, I was feeling very drowsy already... Halfway through 'Shout To The Lord', I started leaning forward and almost fell down into the seat below me... So everyone was shouting to the Lord, then I was this sleepy rat. Dora was saying something like there were a lot of non-Christians who responded to God's calling, and she said "Hi-five", but I missed her palm twice. The last song was 'Free'. It was this fast-paced song with a lot of drums, and everyone was already jumping by then. So I attempted to jump along, but I almost lost my balance, so I figured I'll just sing along. I know the tune of the song, but didn't really know the lyrics, so for most parts of the song I was singing "I'm free" only. And Dora was trying to swing my arms in harmony to the bass drum, but I wasn't that responsive anymore. Left the Stadium at around 2210 or so, with my voice out and my ears ringing from the loud sounds... And it was to home and good night sleep...

And this morning? I wanted to go to Indoor Stadium for more Hillsongs', but this time it's an entire service. I sat on my bed trying to decide whether I should go, and didn't eventually... I went for service at corp instead, saw Dora first thing I entered the building, and she was supposed to go buy flour and M&M's. She was dragging me already, so I just tagged along. We met Clarence and Coleman along the way, and Dora dragged them along. Then Felix entered the store, so what was supposed to be Dora alone buying flour became five people buying flour... And Coleman gave me a 'Good morning saw', Felix followed up with a 'Good morning (two) saw', then later at corp, Cheryn tried to saw me as well... What's with the entire world, huh? Anyway, I sat through two hours of service feeling drained of my energy, then was hanging around for a while waiting for leader's meeting to begin. Dave came, Mark came, Dora was searching for her phone which went missing. I was in the toilet splashing water into my face trying to keep awake, and when I came out someone was saying hi to me. I initially thought that greeting wasn't for me, but out of curiosity I twisted my head, and there was Cheryn's mum grinning like a Cheshire cat. Had a short chat with her, then was reminding Clarissa about my sister's birthday one month away. And Dora found her phone, which she left inside Coleman's bag earlier... Leader's meeting was on, I pebbled my way through the entire meeting thinking about sleep. Matthew was going on about people weren't attending service on Sundays, but going to Sunday school to help out instead. Then Joseph was giving his opinion, and somehow the subject went to cell groups playing hide-n-seek on Friday. Someone went to comment about GUAN YOU's cell playing hide-n-seek for two consecutive weeks of cell and hiding from Ben Wong... And Chris Chen was like "We all need to fast and pray if Guan You is playing hide-n-seek"... Bleaugh, it wasn't my idea, it was Della...

I long for more Frosties... Sitting in front of this computer without a big bowl of sugar-coated Frosties is kinda weird... Think I'll go buy more...

Hmm... This just happened about ten minutes ago, so I thought I better type it out immediately while the memories are still fresh...

As usual, I was bored out of my skin... So what do I do with boredom? I tried to flood my own mail. For those who don't yet know, I have a Gmail account and a Yahoo account for my e-mails. And with Gmail, I have 1000 MB to contain all my mail junk, and so far I have 73 mails probably amounting to 7MB, yet I'm still only using 0% of the 1GB I'm allowed... Just for the kicks of it, and I repeat, just for the kicks of it, I opened my Yahoo account in one window and the Gmail in the other. Then I was at Yahoo composing lame messages and sending them to the Gmail in a poor attempt to flood my mail. Not bad, the Gmail can take some real spamming damage. I received 6312 new mails amounting to some 220MB, and it's ONLY 20% of 1GB that I used up...

Well, anyway, as I started to slowly go page by page, click "All" then "Move to thrash", I suddenly had this weird feeling that just engulfed me. I was just thinking about Cheryn and her trying to squash me, and maybe I was thinking about Chris Ngoh and his flip-like-heck attitude, and still maybe my mind was on Yurong and a table-soccer game, and distantly about Wilfred and his target to revise Chemistry in two weeks, and even some more distance away, Shannon... And the feeling just whacked hard on my mind. I felt so blissful and happy that I thought I was in heaven. My mind went blank and the computer went into screen-saver blank as well. I thought I could fly, but didn't. I went into one of my pebbling state and just sat there for a good half an hour, just letting the bliss take over my mind... Then after a while I was so lethargic from all that pure happiness feeling and I thinked I got knocked out for three seconds or thereabouts... Don't know, if that was heaven, I might have gone to search for Shannon, but I never thought of doing that cos I just sat there like a goon with that dreamy smile on my face...

I've never felt this before. The closest was probably this fuzzy feeling that left me feeling very treasured and loved, by this special someone whom I wouldn't name... God bless this someone... But this was slightly different. It's a different sort of blissfulness... Whatever, I couldn't figure it out why I'm feeling like that out of the blue. Father in Heaven, whatever your reason for that blessing of momentary bliss, thank you... If possible, send it more often...

Nothing much happened these few days. Most of the time I'm left alone to my pebbling world. I'll think about something, but a few minutes later, if you'd ask me what I thought of, I'll have forgotten about it. My memory is getting horrendous. I can't remember anything that has happened after three minutes. I'm going to hire the next cheapest secretary that I could find to help me manage my life. Cheryn offered her services, but she demanded payment... Then Fred and Yich were already complaining that I owe them two months worth of salary... Guess I'll just look elsewhere...

The most major thing that happened was, well, yesterday afternoon... I was out eating lunch with Chris Ngoh at Hawkerway. Nothing too elaborate, just two plates of mee goreng and me and Ngoh sitting and eating. But halfway through, there was this fire that broke out in one of the stalls. The fire wasn't too big, but it wasn't small either... It's just... A fire... Then there were two or three guys who were obviously the bosses who quickly grabbed extinguishers and started to down the fire. We were sitting just in front of that stall, so I was like joking to Ngoh whether we should start running away or something. I mean, how often is it that you are eating lunch and this fire just broke out? It was probably the first for me, but did I do anything?? Did Ngoh do anything?? NO NO NO!! We just sat there like goons watching them fight the fire. STARING at them fight the fire... My goodness, I could have created a big commotion, or at least I could stand there and scream my lungs out, or I could start running like I saw Godzilla, or I could have helped fight the fire, or I'll rush in to be Fire-Man (or for that matter, Water-Man), or I'll start wailing like an ambulance and police car and fire engine at the same time, or......

I like my sister. I'm forever nice to her, yet she is forever evil to me. First, I helped her design her blog layout cos she wasn't familiar with html, which is linked at the sidebar (Wan Er's blog). Then I offered half of my curry puff to her cos she wanted it. But that evil sisterly git of mine... All I did was take three crisps of potato chips from her, then the other day at Taka I ate her sushi up, so she has been whining non-stop till today... Cute right?? Add the fact that she is a sumo wrestler, and you'll get an extremely adorable sister like mine...

I'm starting to cough quite a bit... My nose is going sniff, so I guess it's the normal cold. It's the weather; it suddenly starts to rain a lot these few days, and the temperature has been dropping a lot. Then it's not heping when I chilled my hot mug of tea in the freezer this morning before drinking it, and I chilled my bottle in the fridge as well... Er, Cheryn says no cold drinks for me, or she'll disturb me. Like she never does anyway... Fred says no more iced Milo for me, cos I was drinking superbly-diluted iced Milo yesterday afternoon, and I felt like puking for the next hour or so... Faith says no more ice-cream for me, but I'm missing the vanilla flavours and those pink strawberry flavours...

I like my bass surround system. I'm listening to hillsongs' right now on the computer, and I realised that I could make the bass louder by altering the graphic equalizer. So I'm now listening to double bass hillsongs', which is just awesome. I can't really hear the voices of the singers, and I can barely hear the acoustic guitars, but hey, the bass is brilliant. It makes my head go thump thump thump, and I will involuntarily nod to the rhythm of it like some rock star...
