3e08 class outing 2!

it could practically be a movie!

ok, so 3e is the BEST CLASS i've been in. my fave.

we went biking yesterday. well, i met sharon first. we were at pasir ris carpark d waiting cuz mom drove me. then we just waited around, and i did that hair thing... urgh... now at 80 but sharon insists its 90 cuz it was at 100 and she kinda pulled mine and well.. the normal stuff but anyways...

then we like rented first cuz the others were far off, and late, and we rented for 5 for 2h and the other 6 for 2, at first. then we found out the guy at their stall, carpark c, figured that there were so many of them so gave em an hour free. but it worked out anyways cuz the last hour sharon needed to go for church and they didn't do anymore biking, just playing at the beach and i got so pissed... nvm. i told myself i wouldn't mention it and mention it i won't.

so sharon leaves... ahh! she should've stayed! dude it was my first night out after dark!... and then i got harassed for a photo and i guess eileen caught me and later elaine persuaded me into another 2, i might add guys. then they were writing in the sand and then we went to the playground and then they biked back to return the bikes at 7. i rode eileen's bike back cuz she wanted to run and now i feel terrible... but anyways...

after that we went to the washrooms and some of the girls changed and washed their hair. then we went to white sands and ate at the kopitiam and then we were going to watch a movie but it was too late. following we decided to go to the arcade for an hour plus then sat bus 88 home, or to amk and then took the train.

hmmm, haven't talked much about the biking...

so there's this kid called zhi rong who ISN'T from our class that was there and he and banglian took over, and led us in DREAD circles. but it was okay. i only fell once and it was completely my fault cuz i wasn't watching. then hendra came crashing over me and my leg got caught. then i found out sharon fell too. and later janice fell right off the curb ontot he road! well... so much for falling. i can't account for the amount of time we spent going around in CIRCLES thanks 2 2 ppl, one of which shouldn't've been there. but oh well.

oh ya, and xiao feng and tian min were 'so'ing away as usual... but i guess that's okay... after a while. tm got my hp no and, well, now he's 'so'ing me even when i can't see him... rats..

it doesn't seem like much fun, or we didn't do much. but actually, i guess it was just the time we sent together, and the experiences, and just the bonding and jokes and laughter that really made it fun. what i like most about 3e is the class spirit, how we all are so together. we still have extreme cliques, so i won't say totally bonded. more like... bonded but not bonded. i mean there's sharon and gang, julia and gang, huai pin and gang, elaine and gang... not to mention there's still the guys. but still, we get off well together. this time was greater than the bowling.

hmm... haven't said who went? cu i really can't remember. there was sharon, me, janice, elaine, eileen, claudia, peiling, gloria, tian min, xiao feng, dao han, marcus (left early) y., clement, ming zhe (left early), hendra (left early), banglian, jia sheng, zhi rong, ()... 19 ppl.

i think i guess for once i feel like i have friends, classmates who aren't mugging 24/7, but know how to have fun, and balance everything nicely. for once, i feel... wanted maybe. and there are ppl who just make me feel... exquisite maybe? not in the literal sense but figuratively, or maybe... wanted? cared for maybe. like when i fell how everyone stopped to help me, and refused to go until i was up and running. like elaine who walked and talked with me the whole time and biked with me. and sharon who was with me at the beginning while waiting and walked back when we returned our bikes first and... i guess it's those two who stood out. xD contributions has it all explained. basically, most of 'em were great to me. like xiao feng and tian min, and hendra... and i've never had classmates or friends like that. i'm normally trying so hard to fit in and try so hard to be accepted by my peers and classmates. and at every stage of my life there's always someone or some people who stand out and accept me for who i was. like in tecumseh elementary there was Karen, and in P2 there was rachana, and in p3 there was natasha, in p4 there was charlene and people, in p5 the most of the girls, and in p6 rui shan. in sec 1 there was steph, gill and myint myint. in sec 2 myint myint, or basically i was hovering. in sec 3 i have so many more. and all along there were those from the band who've been with me throughout. like sharon, julia... and dare i say rayner and even michelle. my seniors... and this year there are lots of special people too, like elaine, eileen, michelle, sharon... maybe it's a stage, maybe it's not, maybe this'll last a long time, or maybe it'll pass like my primary school friends. but i hope not. this class has been exceptional. this year has been. from school to wesley, and i must say from wesley ym there are some really great ppl too like yasmine and sarah, and carolyn who made me feel at least welcome.

2008...i guess this'll be one year i'm probably not ready to forget...

Pessimism?

Maybe, but as far as I'm concerned, I wasn't born that way.

Maybe I just got too used to hearing no.

Maybe I just don't show sentimentality like normal people do.

Maybe I stopped trying to make a point.

Maybe I do learn and apply.

Maybe it only surfaces in school.

Maybe that's where I am me and me am I.

Maybe I'm really that horrible.

Maybe I'm seriously dumb.

Maybe I think I know myself

The way I REALLY am.

Phelps at 8 golds! and other stuff

Incredible Olympics this year. MICHAEL PHELPS GOT 8 GOLD MEDALS!!

All his event he got gold. incredible no? He's like super fast! In his last event, the 400m medley relay, he was the third swimmer. The second swimmer, the breast stroke, the us guy got 3rd, and when it came to phelps, he was still third. but in the last 50m of his swim he shot up from 3rd to 1st!

Another thing, Canada's Ryan Cochrane got bronze in the 1500m freestyle! and that's not all, overall canada's got 4 medals! 1 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze, total medal count in the 25th place. So canada's not so bad after all...

of course sing has no medals yet, but their going for silver or gold in women's team table tennis tonight at 7.30, a guaranteed medal it'll be.

even though i'm kind sick now, been watching the olympics, it's real cool, and picking up lots of names!

oh, and did I mention how proud i am of my juniors in ndp?

and for the band farewell, we're doing a pot luck, and we're, as in the flutes, are doing chicken wings. i dunno bout the rest, but the clar are being really great about this. SAXR says they'll do drinks, spaghetti, haris, and jelly, forgot which junior. so it'll maybe do real well thanks to our dear good 'ol clarinets!

NDP08 and BeiJing08

Every year there's a parade and every year I'm not so very enthusiastic.

So what makes this year different?

MY SCHOOL PARTICIPATED IN THIS ONE!
no that's not the highlight.
MY JUNIORS PARTICIPATED IN THIS ONE!!!

I've never been so hyper, or so happy, or so proud to watch the NDP parade. All my juniors were in it, all of the sec 1 & 2s of the school, or at least all the sec 2s, not so sure about the 1s, danced in the opening act of the show segment. Not so very sure about my sec 1 juniors, but very fairly certain that Mich was dancing as a bird... a big fat colorful bird. I couldn't catch her on tv, since they rarely flashed at the birds themselves. But I'm still very proud to say that my best junior was there.

Besides, this year's NDP was spectacular, the black knights and red lions were okay, and the fireworks, still not as good at the disneyland one or the beijing olympics, were quite fine.

Speaking of which, the Beijing opening ceremony was superb, most spectacular! the fireworks, the technology, the whole showcase really brought the best impression of China. I don't think I can look at china and say 'that's the poor country'. No. From what I saw, China is very extremely advanced, more than I could ever imagine.

These past two days have been very televisioned. I've been watching the olympics and NDP and stuff, and maybe it's time I got in touch with this stuff again.

Back on the pencil and paper

Back on the pencil and paper.

I mean like what are you talking about dude?

These days, no one writes, stories and such, nowadays people type rather than write. So did I.
But you can't bring a computer around with you all the time.
So where am I at?

The oldest fashion writing there is.
Not stone carving, not that old.
Pencil and Paper.

Sometimes, the old ways are the best ways.

Today in physics, since you teacher LCC wasn't in school for these two days, my class went to the canteen for a free period. GLQX was sitting beside me, SAXR and alem were on the table behind, with of all people, CWL. Everyone says CWL likes alem, but on the class blog, it's widely publicized by CWL himself that they are just friends. I'm pretty sure no one believes him or alem. Anyways, so GLQX is sitting there, oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and HSY asked her to explain the bio stuff to her. and she did. When you look over, it doesn't look like a biology session. But listening to her teach, you'd probably agree that she'd make a better bio teacher. Haha. I know, kinda weird, but it's cool to know that i have a really smart friend.

Stress on friend

Anyways, books calling. studying sure ain't any fun...

Common Test 208!

I totally agree, IT'S THE COMMON TEST AND I'M NOT STUDYING!!! This is crazy, i know it's common test and i know i have to study, but I don't feel the stress i should be getting.

My results are going down... correction, my results will be going down.

Why don't I get in the right moods at the right time?

InterNetted

The internet is a wonderful thing.

Homework, projects, finding music, understanding comrades, connecting to relatives... even down to just checking out possibilities for your future in academic excellence or just checking out what you like best!

You don't really know what it'll be like without a computer till it's really gone... I don't think i'd fare well...hmm...

IF SOMEONE HAD A GUN HELD IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE AND ASKED YOU IF YOU BELIEVED IN GOD, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
SAY NO AND FEEL ASHAMED THE REST OF YOUR LIFE? OR SAY YES, I DO, AND DIE STANDING UP FOR GOD?

There was an atheist couple who had a child. The couple never told their daughter anything about the Lord. One night when the little girl was 5 years old, the parents fought with each other and the dad shot the Mom, right in front of the child. Then, the dad shot himself. The little girl watched it all. She then was sent to a foster home. The foster mother was a Christian and took the child to church. On the first day of Sunday School, the foster mother told the teacher that the girl had never heard of Jesus, and to have patience with her. The teacher held up a picture of Jesus and said, 'Does anyone know who this is?' The little girl said, 'I do, that's the man who was holding me the night my parents died.'

Job Questioning

What is the point?

I've been working like mad for these past days, and more often than not, i feel like quitting, but something deep inside me tells me that i got the job cuz the teacher thought i could do it, why should i not make every effort to prove she made the right choice. She chose
me over the one it should've, a friends that should've, the one person that i couldn't have fought over.

Should I do my best in it? Or should I give it up for her? To where shall my reputation go? But if i do my best, would I have let my pride float on top? Friends are meant to be kept, and keep them I mean to.
