just like minesweeper...

i've come to realise that... life is very much like a minesweeper game. there are times when it's so easy and straightforward that you can go through it so quickly without much problems. there can also be times when u're absolutely stuck, and have to take a gamble to find the way out. if it's the right choice, you can go on again. but if it's wrong, you're dead. there are also times when u'd feel so irritated with yourself when the correct route to take was so obvious, but because of a twitch or slip of the finger, you make the wrong choice, and again u're dead. and most obviously if you take too long to make up your mind and keep dawdling over it, time will run out and you'll be dead as well.

all of it has happened to me except the last one, and i hope the last one will, because that will be the ultimate form of stupidity on one's part.

there are choices to be made in every step of life, and i've made this choice...

stupid nose...

spent most of the day nursing my nose. kept sneezing at irregular intervals, so much so that i couldn't do much work in school. damn it lah waste so much damn time. at least now it's a bit better. but just some updates hahaha

NS!!! i think all the guys in my class have got their letters already. we already have a diver in the name of wee koon. many is so proud of her STEPson hahaha joshua and derek are potential commandos, so that's cool. but we got no air force people. sad. and shawn's most probably going to be a clerk or storeman, since he's PES C due to his back hahaha most of cj guys are going in april. fewer are going in in january. and what about me? well my PES status hasn't even been confirmed yet, much less my enlistment date hahaha my PES D status was only supposed to be valid for 3 months, but it's already been 4 hahaha i guess i'll give them a call if nothing happens by end of As. but for now i have a feeling i'll be going to police... more blue... more PA... haiz...

anywayz some post As plans. go penang, family thing, must learn from my dad. learn to blade. fix my bicycle (punctured tyre for eons). clce around. learn to drive. class chalet. drive a bit (fuel prices going up u know, can't drive THAT much hahaha). tt's all i got for now.

xin: yes xin nice to know that you feel that it's nice to see that you feel nice seeing me and so i'm sure i shall see you seeing me again so that we can both feel nice seeing each other hahaha

py: that line is "never forget the child within you". bro mike said that i think. it's stuck with me lah

lizz: yeah it gets better, but how much better is the bigger question ain't it?

mad: yeah xr's got a scary friendster account. makes me wonder where he meets all those FWALs and camera whores. i think they're kinda "off" mentally hahaha

early in the morning...

7.40 in the morning... usually i'd be at morning assembly, but now i'm blogging outside the library hahaha well library's not open yet, so i might as well update my blog hahaha lots of J1s running past behind me, coz the bell just rang and they're supposed to be at the quadrangle by 7.40 *duh* hahaha

anyway just read cheryl's blog about the FWALs... go check out her entry, damn bloody funny with all the wORxzz* and mie-s hahaha but it's really all damn funny... people who somehow try to act soooo damn cute on friendster, and end up having their pictures all looking the same. with the big eyes and long fringes over their heads. for the perfect example go to xuan rui's friendster profile, and the 6 girls on the side somehow alll look the same hahaha

been mugging my ass off lately in the library. still don't really like the library, but really there's not many other places to choose from. everywhere else is just too noisy, since the j1s are still having lessons. i think even after they've finished school the school will still be kinda noisy, so i guess it's the library for a few more weeks until the 16 november when it's all over. still got a lot to do... a HELL lot more to do. so oh well...

cheryl: SOBS too hahaha miss school aye? or you just miss me? hahaha

lizz: hey don't tell me u weren't happy at was over as well huh!!! i'm sure u were silently celebrating as well, just that only showed it hahaha and i've never seen anyone throwing a paper plane around in church before, that was an interesting sight. thank amy for me :)

xin: hi xin, i see you're here again hahaha nice to see you here again and i hope to see you here again soon hahaha siao liao :p

i can't really study now...

i'm on the school computers (the ones with the pentium 4 processor and 17 inch philips LCD screens) again, and i can't study as mentioned above because there are J1s making a hell lot of noise due to the catholic retreat. the drilling and hammering i don't mind. but they're really making alot of noise. blasting music out of the hall when i'm studying outside the teachers' room isn't exactly very good for studying.

the ceiling in the guy's toilet is collapsing. and guess what's above that part... THE GIRLS' TOILET!!! hahaha makes us guys wonder why we don't understand girls :p maybe the girls nowadays are too stressed, so go to the toilet to stomp on the floor or something. but whatever's going on up there, the guys below are being affected. so those of you who live in hdbs, be considerate to the neighbours who live below you hahaha

yes so anyway schools out. graduation was kinda cool. the video montage was nice. and we all got our testimonials, report cards (which isn't exactly good), and graduation collar pins. mr kwee even wrote all of us a little private note. the testimonials were nice. and i really appreciate his private note. it got me thinking most of the way home. and we wrote notes on classmates papers. that i was nice too. i gave everyone a little chicken, and the line i'll never forget from sji graduation. hopefully it works for them too :)

oh yes... and the highlights of the day were of course the wassups! right at the end we locked every one in the class and got all the guys, except jerome, because he was skillfully writing the notes to classmates that we somehow overlooked him. sneaky bugger, never mind we've still got class chalet to have some fun. just hope the chalet floor isn't as hard :p

i'll be missing school life surprisingly... all the friends that i've made over the years. as koon so aptly put it, we've come to the end of our schooling career which began 15 years ago with nursery. 1 year nursery. 2 years kindergarten. 6 years primary school. 4 years secondary school. and 2 years JC. but i guess jc isn't all over yet. in 5 weeks it will be though. REALLY over. damn As... then begins the rest of our life. heard NS changes everyone who goes in. most of the time for the better. never heard of people coming out worst from NS actually. probably because all the sai kang inside there teachs them some humility. hopefully i learn more than that lah hoh? hahaha

school's out...

14 years of education in the singapore education system starting from nursery has come to an end. i won't really miss the lessons, but i'll miss my friends. shall update more when i've got more energy... like when it's not 1.50 in the morning hahaha

mad: i don't think it really matters anymore, coz you'd be out next year hahaha so u wouldn't have to deal with any more of those chinese high guys :p

cheryl: YES! I LOVE THE SCHOOL COMPS!!! hahaha u'll see me there everyday now from about 6 onwards ;) playing either minesweeper or pinball hahaha

bang: i hope don't need to do guard duty in the 1st place man. but it's always good to bring a book along i guess...

ben: i'm sure we were all fat at some point of time hahaha ok maybe not you lah mr i-can-eat-5-slices-of-bread-for-breakfast hahaha

argh i missed it!!!

aye aye aye my blog turned 2 one and a half weeks ago!!! i had a feeling it was around this period, because this was when O levels prelims ended 2 years ago, so i just checked, and realised it was on 27 sept 2003 that i started this blog. my oh my... how things have changed.

2 years of memories in this blog... that's a very long time indeed. somehow i feel as if i've moved in a figure of eight over the past 2 years, just that certain people have joined me in my little figure of eight. and i picked up a few things while going around the track as well. just hope the next 2 years will see me leave this figure of eight. better to go on to a better track than remain on the same one forever yeah? just hope the next track will be better than the currect track, but that all depends on where this current track of mine ends... with me climbing up the ladder, or rolling down the hill.

shaun was here..!!

it has come down to this...

the line above was typed by good ol' shaun wong btw... he just popped by beside me hahaha anyway yeah i'm outside the library now using the damn cool new computers with philips flat screens!!! damn it just wanna take it home can! 19 inch leh!!! haiz... anywayz they got these swanking new comps just in time for open house tomorrow. the school is kinda quiet now, probably becuase it's friday night and everyone's gone home to rest and make up for the lost energy recently. but i'm determined to study tonight hahaha

anyway tomorrow is cj's 1st ever open house. but somehow i don't think cj really needs an open house. wastage of resources? hahaha i mean cj has 16 affiliated secondary schools, and with RJ and HC not accepting anymore students outside their respective affiliated secondary schools, there should be less space for more students. and just now when i heard that the J2 counsellors planned this a long time ago, i heaved a sigh of relief, mainly becuase of the way the J1 counsellors are doing stuff now, after teachers day and all, and with the number of arrogant buggers working their "magic" among the nicer people inside there.

mug mug mug. my life for the next one month. tomorrow is 8 october. A levels start on 8 november. you do the math

it's been long... but it's going to get longer...

oh well... it's 2.30 in the morning just as i type this line, which means it's 1st october, so to all you people out there... HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!!!! don't care how old you are, as long as there's still a child within you screaming to be let out, you deserve a happy children's day hahaha some lasting words in my memory from sji at graduation from mr lui. he said "never forget the child within you". don't know if it means to any of you readers, but to me, it just really struck a chord. and i'll remember it for the rest of my life. is there still a child within me? i guess so, seeing as how i can do incredibly stupid things at times. but then again i feel that this child is getting covered up gradually. he's getting less and less play time, but then again i guess it's not really entirely up to us how much this little kiddo gets out and enjoys the sun. but just remember he's in there somewhere yah? ;)

ok just pulled of a big piece of dead skin from my right shoulder... so moving along...

i guess my previous entry sounded a little depressing, but that's how i felt i guess. things ain't getting better or easier as i expected, but instead i think they're getting worst. and now bang's got the same problem as me. only thing is his has been compounded by people's big fat mouths, whereas mine is uhhh... kinda unknown? ahhh it's all been just a very interesting experience, and there's more than a couple more in store for me i'm sure.

the end of prelims this time around don't feel like the end of prelims at Os in any way at all. after prelims at Os i was merrily playing basketball with bang, and hardly being able to touch my books. of course occasionally i did lah, but it was nothing compared to now. i'm neck deep in books already, and still i'm not going fast enough. i know i need to go faster, but the human mind as it's limits. something called fatigue tends to set in more easily in the mind than in the body. that being said, my body is wasting away. not been getting alot of exercise nowadays. ran on tuesday and thursday with many and josh though, but what i really wanna do is play vball. even if it means spiking against the wall i'm ok, just get me a damn ball!!! hahaha i say that because the school pe office is always closed in the morning, and the pe teachers all come damn late, and the vball i have at home is not meant to be played on concrete flooring, cause it'll just completely screw up the ball :p

ms fernandez is getting kinda... not so much irritating, but buggy. is like the more she speaks the less we wanna speak up. and she keeps harping on the fact that our class has 50% failures for essay. don't know if she's noticed, but i think doing that doesn't really inspire my class, but rather either leaves us where we are, or pulls us down. negative pressure just simply doesn't work for some people. maybe someone should tell her that...

sometimes i don't understand why some people have to be such busy bodies and know everything about other people's relationships. i mean whether the guy is together with the girl or not, yeah sure you can ask, and if he says yes so be it, and if he says no, SO BE IT! if he says yes, sure it's nice to ask now and then how's things going, but don't bug him for all the details. but when he says no, and somehow the entire world believes it's yes, there's really no need to disturb him about it every second of the day. as if you would have a chance of being with the girl hahaha there are limits to how far a person can be pushed, and that limit is a very fine line, but sad to say some people are either too immature to see it, or they simply don't care.

oh yeah btw if you haven't heard it before, go listen to def leppards have you ever needed someone. really nice song. and yes.
