WHOO!! I just came back from the Graduation Dinner. Quite fun, especially all the " saboh" of all the teachers and your own class-mates... Everyone was dressed smartly too, with Vincent looking most like a cowboy. Luke looked like this female model with some chic designers clothes, Yichy got one of those kind of boardroom meeting coats, then everyone else were nice-looking in shirts and pants... And quite a few people turned coloured hair as well. Yup, it was fun... Shao Hong kissed Mrs Pang again, the food was good, the atmosphere was good... Uh huh, then me and Alex sort of ditched them all behind to go home early... Haha...

Very tired. Wanna sleep.

I know that I'm supposed to be asleep by now, even more especially so when I promised someone that I'll be in bed at this hour. But, and I repeat, but, circumstances permit. By a twist of cosmic fate, (not really actually) I am still awake now, so may I extend my apologies to the person I made the promise to... *wink*

Yup. Like I mentioned earlier, a twist of cosmic fate. Let me try and explain it... Tomorrow night will be my Graduation Dinner all the way down at Meritus Mandarin Singapore, (a more classier way of saying "Mandarin Hotel") and it's probably going to be the last time my entire class will sit together for an occasion for the rest of this year. And since I promised my class to give them each a copy of the class directory with everyone's contact details on it, tomorrow's going to be last time I would be able to pass it to them. So, brilliant me decided to sit down in front of the computer to print out 30 copies of th eclass directory. But the story didn't end there. I printed the 30 copies without taking into consideration of certain updates, for instance, Isaac's postal code was missing, and Bush shifted house etc... And so, brilliant me again sat down to call them individually to ask for their updates and changes, then brilliant me went to each and every printed copy to amend the changes... Hence for most of the time, I was alternating between liquid-paper and pen for 30 times... And things are certainly not helping when dumb ol' Alex has an extremely weird email address. His email addy consisted of so many underscores in so many different places in his name, it had me cancelling again and again... Look at this: " a__l_e_x "... Try writing it out on a piece of paper. Then try writing it 30 times. Somewhere in between you're sure to make some errors with the placement of the underscores and stuff... AARGH!!

I made my choice for first 3 months' JC enrolment today also. I put NJC and AJC as my first few choices, then I anyhow filled in the rest... I don't really care anyway. Either I make it to NJC or AJC, or I'll just end up whallowing and biting the dust in some other JCs that I don't really have plans to go into...

And yup, that's about all of it. I'm having loads of fun nowadays. From insulting people with obscure English, to lots of "moo moo"-s and to top-grade honey... Whatever... I'm just having loads of fun.

Okie, I'm about a few minutes into 25 November now... HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY YURONG!!

I'm feeling extremely pissed off by some matters... I don't know what is it with people around me, but they just all seem to take ME for granted. Here I am subjecting myself to all this pile of junk that I wouldn't normally do, in the hopes that they might be happy, but what exactly is the point?? They don't appreciate it anyway... I can try to do all kinds of shit for these people, and they still won't give any concern for what I'm accomplishing for their happiness sake. I give up. I give up trying to please people when they obviously don't appreciate my efforts. Sometimes I just feel like shouting to them in their faces that I care for them, that I want them to be happy, that they're in my heart etc, but they probably will just act sympathetic for 3 seconds and thank me for my concern. Next 3 seconds, they'll just return to their normal selfs. Hypocritical bastards.

I don't really like to use this blog to vent my anger. Sorry if I offend anyone, although I doubt that these people would visit this blog... Yar, I really dislike using this blog as a tool for my frustration outlet, but sorry, I had to get it off my chest. It's not "Guan You-like" to get angry, so I never made it a point to be angry at anything. I should just try to please God instead. He never grumbles, and besides, serving God is much better than serving Man. Ultimately, I'm working for His Kingdom, not some incompetent fool that I try so hard to please, but is not receptive to the work I've done...

Other than that, there's nothing much left... I watched Shark Tale and The Incredibles... First time I'm stepping into the cinemas since Finding Nemo... Haha, I like Dash, he's a major hyperactive kid. Graduation Dinner is coming this Sunday, theme for the night is "Wild Wild West". It's a lousy and corny theme, because the stupid Students' Council is planning it. They can't plan anything for nuts, and I am so not going to follow the dress-code. (Cowboy style, jeans compulsory) Cheryn laughed like crazy when she heard about this, Luke's complaining as usual about all this crap, and my sister is teasing me about bringing lasso and sheriff guns to the Graduation Dinner... Gosh, everybody can see how stupid this theme is going to be. Why can't they sack the Council? They think they're cool and an elite group of leaders for the school. I think they're just empty posers and they need to get a life.

Wow-whee, I sure had a great time celebrating my birthday over the week-end... My mum followed me to shopping, or rather, I followed my mum to shopping at Bugis on my actual birthday itself... Been eons since I actually did that. Then on Monday evening(tonight), there was this mighty-big birthday barbeque celebration for me and Luke at Alex's house... Whoo! I'm having fun...

Okie, more about the barbeque birthday party. I went down to Alex's at around 1700 in the late afternoon, on the pretext that Daniel had only invited at most 10 people. Oh well, I got a rude shock... Apparently over 20 people are coming, including all the "ex 3-5 people", majority of our classmates, even Loh Hiang Tee was there... Yup. Helped started the charcoal fire with Yicheng and Giam. Haha, the charcoal didn't seem to catch fire that easily, so me and Yichy were throwing solid fuel into the fire like nuts... When I went online on Alex's computer, I saw Cheryn online, so I devised a plan with Yich to go over to her house and invite her over to the barbeque. And gosh, it actually worked... So good ol' Cheryn followed us to the excitement. Haha, she ended up hiding under the table while me and Luke were trying to corner her with a roasted marshmallow... Whoo, the marshmallow tastes good when roasted. Anyway, Luke got a splat marshmallow on his face, Cheryn got one too...

Well, we cut the cake, sang the customary birthday songs, and present time!! The guys got me a red piggy beany... Luke?? Yichy prepared a box of cockroaches, dead AND alive inclusive... Of course, Luke's no dumb ass. That guy, or should I say woman, is half scared to death about cockroaches and lizards, so naturally he refused to open the box. Yar, he shaked the box vigorously several times, and all that was needed was a swoosh from Alex which knocked the box out of Luke's hand... Then Luke, in typical woman style, shrieked at the crawling cockroach, and proceeded to run down the entire length of houses... Haha. I was laughing too much, but I got my come-uppance when Daniel splatted an egg onto my back. Yeuch...

Well, that was about it... Shannon's parents gave me an overseas call when I reached home. I suggested MSN instead, so it saves money on those expensive charges all the way from Denmark...

Yup. I'm not going to forget about this: here we go... Thank you all you guys, especially Alex, Yich and Daniel, for that party bash. You guys rawk. And of course, thanks to Cheryn, despite being the only girl in 20 guys... You get what I mean... Haha... Thanks to my parents, and God too. Without you guys, I am none...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GUAN YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Ooh... It's my birthday... It's fun... It's cool... Happy birthday to the woman also (Luke) and happy birthday to Phoon as well (Royston)... QUACK-KY QU-QU-QUACK!!

Saturday, 20 November 2004

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy... O'levels are over!! Oh girl oh girl oh girl oh girl oh girl... O'levels has ended!! Oh gosh, it's the first time this entire year that I actually feel free from studying... This year has been all hectic, going through one prelim after another three times successively, but all the while looking over the shoulder for that gigantic "O"... Yup, it's all over now. Kaput. Zero. Zilch. No more. WOOHOOHOOOOOO

I could really go on forever you know. I could go on and on and on about how I've been studying non-stop this year, or how Cambridge has messed up my life with that "O'levels"... Yar, I could rant on, but that would be most unfortunate for you. You wouldn't exactly want to hear me scream at all the lousy systems and protocols, so for YOUR benefit, I shall not go on further... If not you might not want to come to this blog anymore...

I changed the quackie music. You can see the playlist yourself, cos this time the music is actually an ENTIRE praise and worship. Yup, you heard it right. It's actually a worship session with 8 or 9 different songs. There's one glitch though. The entire playlist is 33 minutes long. Well, I doubt that you're going to be at this blog for more than 20 minutes... Haha, get yourself entertained here for 33 minutes to listen to the music... Oh yar, since the music is that long, it takes quite a while to load also. Here's a tip for you: Just click the triangular "Play" button about two minutes after you entered this blog. You wouldn't have to wait until all the music is loaded, just listen to the front parts first and the back parts will load simultaneuosly while you're listening.

Let's talk about today instead. First things first: Today was my last Chemistry paper. So obviously, it was a colossal task trying to force myself to study for Chem. Believe me, when it's your last paper, all that euphoria knowing you're free in another matter of hours... Not when I'm online at the same time talking nonsense with Yurong. Not when Cheryn and Felix and Andre decided to "disturb" me. Those three-in-a-gang arh, they came round to my block at around noon today trying to lure me into the lift and trapping me in there with exploding bomb bags. Well, I'm not that easily lured of course... The bags didn't explode anyway; they malfunctioned. So we were at my void deck kicking and stomping bomb bags and making a whole great lot of noise. All the way until when I was heading back to the lift to go back home... Just as the lift door was closing, Felix/Andre threw in 2 bombs, and I wasn't able to get out of the closing lift doors. KABOOM twice... And yup, that was some excitement which helped to divert my mind off Chem for a while...

Well, I managed to cram all my Chem stuff with 45 minutes to spare before the paper started. The Chem papers itself?? It was quite a dream actually. I was quite focussed during the MCQ, but paper 2 was really a dream. I couldn't remember doing the paper, cos I was day-dreaming and thinking about the end of O's... Haha... Not that I really bother about my Sciences anyway. When the CPE announced "stop writing", everyone in the exam hall went nuts. Normally we'll discuss the paper like some post-mortem, but not this time. Everyone's so wanting to get out there... And there was chaos everywhere. Luke danced around everywhere, before finally throwing down a school dust-bin from 3rd floor... Yar, I saw people trying to burn the exam hall with lighters also... It's just nuts here and nuts there. Majority of them went to celebrate, I was at cell instead. Gone through a mini-fellowship comm meeting, went through Mr Ong's funny laugh-out-loud "how to share the gospel" session, went through Michelle's giggles... Then my cell group went to BB mini-mart to watch TV... Final episode of this Channel U drama series. And yar, here I am...

Thursday, 18 November 2004

Ohh la la... I just finished my A Maths paper. It's chicken like nuts again. I think all the mathematics-related papers for O'levels are all set by chickens. Imagine all the chicken feathers flying around and all the "clucks" and "po-po-kehs" they'll be making... And the mother hens will lay eggs every half an hour and the father roosters will be crowing every sunrise...

Sheesh, I shall stop my utter nonsense... Anyway, my last paper's going to be tomorrow. Chemistry until around 1800 in the evening, then I'll be free... Free from this nonsensically chicken-like-hell O'LEVEL that I've been preparing for the past four years... And on 21 November, you've got to prepare for an important occasion: MY BIRTHDAY... Haha, not that I'm going on a wild birthday celebration or anything, just probably myself spending time with myself again. I like my birthdays every year. It gives me a great chance to spend time with myself. Of course, God's going to be invited over as well...

And then there's of course, Luke's birthday as well... Nutters like HIM choose to be born on the same day with me, which is not exactly a glamour considering that my reputation's gonna be at stake too... Yar, initially it was agreed that both of us would not give each other presents, sort of like a mutual convenience agreement, so that we don't have to worry about giving each other presents. But now that nut is going back on his word. He wants ME to sponsor HIS fat butt all the way to Indonesia. What, he's wanting $50 sponsorship on his air tix, not to mention an additional $100 loan for his expenses...

Now, that's daylight or midnight robbery, up to you... That's why Yurong's better. I've got one of those mutual agreements with her too about not getting each other's presents, and she's kept her word. All she wants is a nice card... While for Luke, he's demanding a MONEY CARD...

Whatever. I wanna sleep. I haven't slept for more than 3 hours for the past three days and nights. Sleep, people, sleep... It's time for bed.

Tuesday, 16 November 2004

Okay, I've a History Elective paper starting exactly in one hour's time. I'm still online, can't believe it... Anyway, studying History and going online at the same time didn't work. Guess you'll just get distracted from looking at the screen and looking at the book... Oh well. I'm just gonna wish MYSELF all the best for History and don't get distracted by ridiculous ideas put into my head by a certain someone... (*ahem!!) Yup. Gotta go if I don't wanna be late...

Oh right... My birthday's coming. 21 November. I'm turning 16, and I'm getting old and cranky... Sobs, my old bones are creaking...

Friday, 12 November 2004

I'm not really up to much these days. Most of the time, I'm either online or studying or eating or sleeping... It's a bad routine. I'll study until I'm on the brinks of a mental break-down, or when I get stressed until I'm like a squashed can in the dumpsters, and I'll head down online... Or you catch me in my bed taking a siesta... I'm into cat-naps now. It keeps me more refreshed... And what do I do online? MSN with all the fellow Sec 4s taking O's, or I'll be spamming the new Jericho Forum. Haha, Ben did a mistake by inviting me to be a beta tester... I'm seriously adding loads of nonsense to all the topics and everybody's swimming around in my messages everywhere... What can I say, I'm "proud" to be the top poster with more than 110 posts now, but still counting...

I hate studying. It's really sapping my energy away. People ask me why I look so listless and quiet and grumpy and stupid. Well, I'm studying... Duh...

My sis just got a new phone. Sony Ericsson T630. She's of course, in an excellent mood after getting her new phone... I'm just passing a message from her on her behalf: If you want to contact her, she's got a new line number already. Ask her what's her new number yourself. I'm finding tremendous joy in disturbing her nowadays... Yups, last I know, I'm calling her a green lizard from now on... If you wanna know why, don't...

Monday, 8 November 2004

Okay, here's the deal so far. O'levels is probably just a bad mis-fit to many secondary pupils. I mean, they started all this hooha right after PSLE, and from the moment you stepped into secondary school, all the teachers bombard you with all the crap "exam techniques that you'll require for O'level at the end of your Sec 4"... What a lie... Well, I'm pretty sure that if you start studying two days before the O's start, you still can get a decent 12-14 for your L1R5. I certainly did not try studying two days before the O'levels, cos I was duped into that lie... The point being is, O'levels and all that talk about Cambridge springing surprises and stuff... It's just empty talk. O'levels is easy beyond your school prelims. It's nothing. Trust me on that.

Wednesday, 3 November 2004

Okie, O'levels are not much of a kick. Really. Not that I'm bragging or whatever, it's just that the big 'O' doesn't really seem that scary when you are actually enjoying it. Yup, Social Studies was another manageable paper... Switzerland came out, of course, and everybody grabbed that topic and rolled out their answers... Man, the guys at Cambridge definitely has to spring some major surprise somewhere, but Switzerland was out of the question. Virtually every school in Singapore is telling their students to "study Switz like mad", and well, Cambridge did not disappoint... Haha...

It was English today. Composition was awesome once again, because the nice souls at Cambridge gave an argumentative topic: "School uniform gives pupils a sense of identity and encourages good discipline. Do you agree?" Argumentative expositories are my fave, so I gobbled it. Only the second passage of the comprehension was a bit troubling... And I had to struggle to find sufficient points for my summary... Other than that, I'm really praying for that A. Or they can give an A*, like the PSLE grading scheme. Then A* entitles you to deduct a bonus point from your L1R5. Yar, right...

George Bush is definitely winning the US President seat. He's got popular support, and he's going to secure Ohio. Besides, John Kerry looks like a monkey with awful hair (in my humble opinion...), and the "mighty" US cannot exactly have a monkey-assed president, right? Eh, Bush for President... Oh right. A "worthy" mention for that idiotic idiot (which I shall not name) who thinks that the electoral college is a prejudiced and biased system. Well, here's what I think, you idiotic idiot: I think the electoral college works just fine. It's impartial and it's a great system to determine the president, so spare me from all your tyrannical shit. And Bush, flatten the Democrats and noogie them all the way to Greenland...

Tuesday, 2 November 2004

My LCD monitor was finally fixed today. Called the Compaq Service Hotline on Saturday, told them that my LCD 17-inch monitor died on me, told them I still had about 2 months on the one-year warranty, and presto, they sent someone down to my house this afternoon to make a complete replacement for the same LCD monitor model, all free-of-charge because of the warranty... Good service, I say.

O'levels started today. Chinese was extremely easy for the second part, but the composition and letter writing was a tough nut. Don't know what kids getting into more traffic accidents and that sort of rubbish. Then for the 4 hours break in between, I went to eat prata at Thomson with the usual prata-eating gang. (Namely regulars include: Alex, Fred, ME, Yich, and recently, Luke) Mushroom prata was tasty... Then studied at Alex's house for a while, gave Dodger the dog a good massage with my feet.

"Grace Like A River" is the quackie music now... I've got the World Service CD. A bit bland, but there's still the meaningful lyrics of a delirious? CD.

Social Studies tomorrow. I'm whacking Switzerland like nuts. Just checked my emails... Got 214 Gmails with 85 spam, and got another 185 Yahoo mails with 28 spam... Most of them are ending up in the trash... I'm irritated and grouchy. Tolerance is short. Patience is limited. Lack of sleep. Exam stress. Feel like a piece of shit/shat. But God's grace is still great. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to bed now, with SS starting in another 6 hours time. That means sleep for less than 4 hours...
