Okay, it's officially out, after like 3~4 months of waiting and 2 years worth of slogging... O's results were out today, and I got a decent 10... Well, it's good enough, for my standards. I'm happy... Should be staying in NJ, and of course in the Arts faculty. Got my A1 in Geography (YAY!), but the real stinker was English (A2)... Bah...

Skipped school today. Well, not exactly skipped TOTALLY... I went to school for morning assembly, then sneaked off to town with my classmates. Went Macs for breakfast. Loaned money to Jia Mein to get her earrings, cos they were the last pair and she MUST have them... Had to endure her jumping up and down though... Then we went to Kinokuniya, and we're just about to leave when I saw LUKE!! Yup, he was there too with a whole bunch of girls and he was the only guy... So I tagged along... Haha...

Well, Flukey-Lukey beat me by one point. He's very happy, of course... I told him it was a fluke, but he whatever-ed me... My mum's happy too... But I think she expected me to better my prelim's result, cos I got 10 in prelims too...

Okay, it's official. Monday is the O's results day. And my life so far? Eating non-stop. Then I'll start thinking I'm growing fat and go for a 3 km run. I need something to at least distract me from thinking about the results. Man... This is so nerve-wrecking. Just wanna get the results ASAP...

05A01 has another 2 more weeks. Kinda sad to have to say goodbye to each other after these two months plus... Everybody's trying to enjoy themselves as much as possible before the real exodus creeps in...

And... The question you never fail to ask me all the time whenever you see/talk to me... Yes, I did... (:

O's results are supposed to be coming out this Friday or next Monday. Well, there's 2 more days till this Friday, but we haven't got anything on the news yet, so I presume it's next Monday... Stupid MOE... Can't they just kill all suspense and just release the results like, now?? All these speculating are seriously stressing me out. It's a bit ironic, really... You've slogged for 2 years just to cram the entire syllabus into your head, and now you're afraid to get your output...

I'm back. Rain is good, it helps lower the hot temperatures. Sunshine is good, but the heat is bad. Sunshine is good, and the tan you get from the sun is awesome!

I'm just back from AJC and SAJC fun-fairs... Went to AJ's first, met Aaron and Yurong and Clarissa outside the AJ bus-stop, but I was late for 20 minutes. Ate baked potato with bacon, got a pink balloon flower, saw a lot of my old friends, and basically basked around there in the hot sun. Then Alicia came with her friend (also named Aaron), then me and Yurong decided to go to SAJ's fun-fair... Well, we stupidly followed Ali Baboon's advice to take 13 then transfer to 93, which was half correct... Yurong and me did take 13 all the way down to Braddell Rd, but we were supposed to take 93 on the opposite end of the road. Ali Baboon told us to stay on the same side of the road... Guess what? The two of us ended up at Eunos before we realised we're going the wrong way... Anyway, we reached SAJ at around 1600h, and their closing time was 1700h... But that was okay, because they were desperate to get rid of all their stock and so the prices were all reduced by a lot... Haha, price mechanism at work... Yar, we were walking around getting souvenirs and playing games, until Sun Yanzi came... Yup, she was making a special appearance cos she used to be a SAJ student... And guess what? The two of us chased after her and screamed like mad... YES, it's the first time in my life that I'm chasing after a celebrity... We were planning to ask for her autograph, but she was mobbed by a whole crowd of people and all... Haha...

Ooh... It finally rained today!! After like what, 3~4 weeks of "drought", and 300++ bushfires, the sky finally let down some rain today... Yar, I was in school having GP tutorial when we heard thunder, and then rain... But stupidly, so many hot days, and the rain barely lasted 15 minutes... C'mon, can't the clouds let loose a bit more??

Had PE today... It was NAPFA trials for standing broad jump and pull-ups... I'm seriously unfit and getting fat... Managed only 4 pull-ups. But the awesome thing is, I recorded a personal-best for broad jump! I could never jump for nuts' sake, and the first jump was 180cm... Then I remembered Matthew's "aim highwards" advice, and the second jump was 195cm... It was much better than I expected, but I still need 216cm to pass (NJ standards)...

Ate a lot of chocolates these few days, so I made it up by doing 5 rounds in total round the field... Thought I clocked a lot of mileage already, but Khairi said he did 10km, compared to my measly 2km...

Lots of mosquitoes... But I only got one or two bites... The mozzies don't like me... (:

Great! Just great! My life is great! GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!

and hug me more... (:

Thursday 10 February 2005

Hmm... My Chinese New Year holidays were quite fun, I guess... At least I did some meaningful stuff rather than just laze around at home and will my life off... Let's see, on Tuesday I had half day of school... NJ CNY celebrations included Treasure Hunt and Hamper Wrapping Competition... So you can more or less guess where this whole crap is heading to... Then went to Yishun after that with Nora and Cheryn for lunch... On Wednesday I went visiting at Michael's house. Had a "mandarin-eating competition" with him... Haha, inspiration from May Ee... (: And yup, today I went to my grandma's house for lunch, then after that was just basically stoning at home until Biru asked me whether I want to go catch a movie... So we were down at J8 watching Constantine... We sat right at the front! Yes, the front row... Got a sprained neck after the show ended... Didn't understand the plot, was more amused by Biru covering her eyes for 75% of the show...

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Saturday 5 February 2005

Yep, I'm feeling so much better now... Last night I was seriously pissed with everyone and anyone... But come to think of it now, there wasn't really a point to be angry actually... I mean, just because I had a bad day doesn't mean that I've gotta get angry at everyone, so I'm way past the fury feeling right now. Actually it was because Eleanor called me this morning to apologise... As I said, no point in being perpetually angry, so I accepted it... And whoever else I blasted at yesterday, sorry too... Feeling kinda guilty too, cos I was angry at some of my good friends too... Yar, even though I didn't scream at them, I was angry WITH them... Yup, I owe them my quiet apologies too, and I've promised myself not to get overly-twitchy ever again...

Anyway, I just set up this *HUGS* TOTAL thingy just below the music player... Go on... GIMME MANY MANY HUGS!!

Friday 4 February 2005

I'm feeling kinda stupid right now. Had an extremely terrible day... Waited aimlessly for ONE HOUR at Novena Square for Eleanor... And when she did come, she started whining and complaining about everything and anything... Her reason for being late? Overslept. Didn't even bother to apologise. I got so pissed that I just made up some lousy excuse and left her right there... Before that, I was at Queensway to get the baller-id bands for our class... We were told two weeks ago that stock would come in today, but it was all sold out on that day... At night during youth service was worse... I came early to discover only 10 odd people, and it stayed that way even when we began late... It made me wonder whether all these work for the church was worth it... Or whether I made the right choice to skip the CIP opening thing at Toa Payoh... And right after worship ended, some people who were obviously oblivious walked in making a whole lot of noise, laughing and talking and smiling and exclaiming... So much for "honoring God by being punctual"... If you're late because of school, that's okay, but late because you were gone having fun and totally hecked the idea of being punctual? Smack yourself. I should have gone to Toa Payoh instead... No no, I should have stayed at home and did my own QT... Yan Peng was right, you don't come to church to socialise, you go to church to worship Him. Hadn't had cell for 4 weeks in a row, well, at least I had the chance to talk to some of them... Andre mysteriously disappeared... Then was waiting for another half an hour aimlessly (AGAIN) before I realised I waited in vain. How very smart I am.
