results

most of my prelims results are in.
i guess overall i improved when compared wif mid-yr!
subjects like combined humans, physics and emaths improved.. but amaths went down. expected it, so not really too bothered now. still have english, which i will get back tmr. i barely passed my paper 2. paper 1 is my fate-decider. i am on track to fulfill my wish of getting an L1R5 of 15 and below for prelims.
keeping my fingers crossed..

we got new timetables. revision period.
so well, another 2 wks more before our official stand-down. sad, to think i have lived my 4 yrs in amkss in just a brief moment like this.

spore idol is tmr and friday is the results! can't wait.
i wonder which 2 idol wannabes will be booted out???
my father is imposing a ban on me for watching tv for too long. haix guess i will really have to mug after this.
ohh yar. melissa and yipling wrote in to perfect 10's say it with music. and their letter got read out. cool! i think its like the 2nd time for melissa. included cleo's farewell poem for 4/1 too.. touching.

till then, alta la vista! cheeriox`

burnt

wheesh. had great fun yesterday at sentosa..
shinye, yixuan, joseph, edwin, shaoxun, keith, lester went. i tot i was late initially, but turned out i reached harbourfront the earliest. as usual, many came late, very late.. haha. so, it dragged and we ended arriving sentosa later den we expected. had quite a crowd.
we played cards, had a beach soccer game, went into the waters, and lazed arnd the sand.
the weather wasn't dat bad. cool. lester was taking photographs everywhere! hehe.

we later headed to hougang for a game of bowling. met jiayu and we played 2 games. haha my first bowl eversince in sec 2, and i got a strike! by luck, yes i noe.
the subsequent bowls were very irregular. sometimes scored, sometimes went straight into longkang.
but had fun. went home later den i agreed to, so my mum was kindda angry i guess.

some furniture came yesterday. a cupboard and this red little chair has been added to my rm. so cool, i think my rm looks nicer wif the red chair. maybe i'm going to paint my rm in bright colours.
so had a little spring-cleaning. cleared away boxes dat had been left untouched for yrs! finally..

hhmm i think i got a tan, but hope it doesn't peel.
it hurts now, and i haf been applying moisturizing cream.
sch resumes tmr. papers and marks will be flowing in.
crossing my fingers.

what a ride. another wk gone with 40 days to the 'O's.

prelims are over! today the last day- cool. i think it was okay overall, with some hard subjects like amaths and physics practical which i totally suck in. next wk will be the nerve-recking moment of checking the papers!
we got a new vp. mr tan chee siong. hope it signals something gd for amkss.

went to catch 'the terminal' today with samantha and melissa. haha funny. seldom go out with them. but well, was fun. crapped alot, just sitting outside the supermarket @ j8 for an hour plus.
the show is good. touching and funny. imagine getting stuck in an airport in this foreign land!
'me don't understand you' =x

i wanna change my blog template. this is getting abit boring, though i do like it. maybe will soon.
tmr will be out to sentosa with the rest. den will go bowling. im broke! but will recoop during the 'O's period. now just have fun, not forgetting work.
must start preparations especially since my brain is still saturated with books and infos..






"Welcome To My Life" - Simple Plan

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you

Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
When no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over

Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
But deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
When no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lies straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not gonna be ok

Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like
What it's like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
When no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
When no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

yesterday went to chill after the exams.
watched 'dodgeball: a true underdog story'. it was damn funny! hilarious. its the average Joe kind of comedy show but i think it pulled off really well, especially since after the stressed period of our prelims..
took some neoprints.. here they are:


me.ryan.keith.shinye.jiayu.yixuan // taken @ j8


the wildcard special for spore idol was on last night.
maia, beverly and sylvester got in!
yea 2 out of 3 predictions. one was chosen by the judges (maia), another by public votes (sylvester) and a surprising bid by the judges (beverly).
so looking forward for the finals now. glad maia and beverly made it. too bad benjamin didn't. he sang 'this love' which i felt was okay. well, unpredictable.
but 'O's.. erm.





reality break.

ok another wk gone, wif prelims halfway thru.
hmmm, to our class yesterday was the end of prelims.
all the harder subjects are over and done wif, just leaving those mcqs, maths paper, and practicals.. phew.
shld say, it was alrite in the beginning.
amaths was definitely hard. biology was like rushing thru, but the others seem to haf so much time to rest! social studies was cool, the topic i was banging on really came out! but srce-based was sort of unsteady.
the 'O' level countdown banner is up.. another 40+ days more! arrgghH!

haf to make a farewell speech (again, after the sc investiture) for the Farewell Assembly coming right after prelims. as usual, the sad and happy moments as we bid our alma mater farewell. this yr's theme is...
'dare to succeed, impossible is nothing'

ohh yea, i may be in the publicity booklet for the sch for pri 6 students. hehe. in the bookelt is comments by students and good-stuffs of the sch. will be in it for student council & drama.
haf to wear the sch blazer for next mon's photograph session. the last time i wore it was at the sc investiture.

how fast time past...

final top 9 of singapore idol!
they are... jeasse, olinda, david, daphne, christopher, candice, leandra, taufik, jerry.
the results for taufik and jerry was totally unexpecting! beverly and nana was definitely much more deserving to go on, even the judges thought so. i supported leandra and maia, but maia didn't make it.
but anyway there's still another shot for stardom. kindda stupid- got back 9 contestants just to fight for that last wildcard place. will leave 8 ppl's heart broken once more. watch out for beverly and nana's revenge. supporting maia, beverly, or benjamin.
either one, pls.

well, prelims and 'O's preparations underway.
sometimes i just slack. either the bed, tv or computer.
but i will definitely continue to mug and work.. written notes for a few chp of some subjects.

blessings. mugger. mugging.
be off now.. cheeriox!






Vienna - Billy Joel

Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart
Tell me why are you still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do
And only so many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before
You even get halfway through
When will you realize?
Vienna waits for you

Slow down you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be before your time
Although it's so romantic
On the borderline tonight, tonight
Too bad but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself
That you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
You know you can't always see when you're right

You got your passion, you got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize?
Vienna waits for you

Slow down you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize?
Vienna waits for you

And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before
You even get halfway through
Why don't you realize?
Vienna waits for you
When will you realize?
Vienna waits for you

four.one 2004 __class photos*





funny. nice. better den last yr's i guess.
can you spot which is me? lol.






phew. another week past. getting closer to prelims!
the countdown banner is already up. another 60 days more to 'O's! gawd. gosh.

teachers' day celebrations was on tues.
the day didn't go well for me. things went out of my control. well, maybe my unlucky day..
watched 13 going on 30 on that day. the show is cool. got some really touching parts which made me emotional.
i wouldn't mind going to when im 30-yrs to find out how life would be like. but maybe that's what fate is about.
life is all about going through it without a clue how to, and one day find out you have lived a lifetime.

went to watch face today as it was ryan's bday. supposed to be a korean ghost story but it wasn't really that scary as i expected it to be. just shocking. took neoprints as one whole gang, 8 of us! haha, had a hard time squeezing in. there are many others but we split and i took these:


me.joseph.ryan.edwin.keith.shinye.jiayu.yixuan // taken @ bishan j8

now really gotta mug and mug and mug!
one week holidays for mugging.
stressful yet not totally stressed.
reach for the stars!
