Time

Hello people! Today was more of a homy day for us. Did nothing much except for the dumpling-making together and of course the most exciting part: Eating them. But after that we did nothing but play cards like tai ti and 7 up. Which is really nice.

Well since there's not much of things to say today, I shall talk about time haha. Well it's better than nothing right?

Well sometimes I feel really weird and amazed on how fast time could fly. It feels amazing and weird and scary at the same time to realise that we only have one more day to end this year. Which to me is one of the most beautiful and exciting year. The O Levels, my last year in Tanglin and yeah. But why does time fly so quickly?

And at the same time I feel weird to why everything ends so quickly when we want it to end slowly. Well except for the Os also haha, who the hell wants O Level to end slowly right? But like my years in Tanglin, in Pei Tong and in Singapore. It's so quick!

Imagine this, 7 years I have spent my life studying in Singapore. And next year? Another new chapter begins, another new chapter awaits. Life in SP would be something new for me. I hope it will be as memorable as my years in Tanglin, or even more.

Well yeah, as I said once, time is an amazing piece of mystery. It's scary and weird at times, but it never fails to amaze you. So now the question is, what is time itself?

Okay that's all for today I think. Tomorrow will be the last day of 2009. Whew, gonna be an exciting one I suppose! Okay ciao!

Time, time time.
PS: Sorry no picture today cause I'm using my sis' laptop

2 more days?


The sunset tells a thousand stories.

It's just a bliss watching this!


Hello people! Finally I'm able to blog again. Did not blog last night cause I was simply too tired from the Plabuan Ratu trip. And I'll tell you why I'm tired later on okay? So prepare for a long post! I'll summarise everything.

So anyway we headed to Plabuan Ratu (I think I'll call it PR) at like about 10 AM on Sunday (which were supposed to be like 9 AM but who cares! Haha). Reached there at aroun 10 something which is considered quite quickly too right. Went to stop at a beach somewere there and then took some picture which is nice and beautiful. The weather was alright too!

And then we headed to the hotel and had lunch there at which after that we went for a swim before we head to the beach (as a warmup) and yeah. Thank God the weather is all nice and hot and sunny, before it started rainning at around early evening.

In the afternoon to evening we did nothing much but to relax like play cards, chat and more. Very fun yeah? And then I sneaked out alone to watch the sun set and wow I tell you, it was beautiful. Imagine this, a sunset, chillout song, breezy wind and arrrgh! It's just so awesome, beyond words... But anyway everyone got worries because they couldn't find me (sorry!) but anyway I returned and apologise haha.

Then ate dinner and so so, and then I tried to sleep but couldn't... I totally did not sleep from like 12 to 3 or so.. I don't know why. So for a total, I slept only for 3 hours on that night, which is really bad. But I was fresh and up the next morning but got depressed after watching the dark sky... I mean cloudy sky, like as if a storm is going to hit us.

Well it rained from like 6 to 10 or so, but the weather turned nice at 11. The rained stop but the sky was cloudy. So we spent another hour on the beach playing before we head off. And that's about it for my trip. It's a wonderful trip especially with me cousins! They just made the trip so awesome eh.

As for today, went to eat breakfast together with cousins and then went for a... Karaoke session! And then a futsal match. You know, I don't know why but when I play with my cousins, I always play better than I play with other people? Like today I scored like 3-4 goals haha. Which is really nice. Then had dinner together and yup, that's all for today. Can't wait for tomorrow's "dumpling day" cause we're making dumplings!

Okay that's all people! Shall update more. It's 2 more days to the end of 2009 and I'm thinking... Time really flies! Okay see ya and ciao!

The sunset taught me lots of things.

The sea!


I want blue skies tomorrow at Pelabuhan Ratu please!

And for Monday as well!


Hello people! Oh yeah baby I'm so excited for tomorrow. Why? Cause I'm going to Plabuan Ratu! Again! And this time round I'm staying for one night with my cousins. Damn that's gonna be real fun yes? I can't wait! And I really really hope that tomorrow will be a good, bright, sunny and blue day over there. So is on Monday!

Well today was again another rainy day here (so hopefully it won't rain anymore on Sunday and Monday) and thus it's cold. But anyway, Pelabuhan Ratu and Sukabumi is quite of a far distance from each other, so I suppose weather pattern won't be really the same yes?

But whatever the thing is, just hope that the weather will be good and sunny and blue skies!

Okay um I think i did nothing much today cause it's been raining, except that I went to eat at Bubur Bunut and then went around shopping for my trip tomorrow. And I can't wait for tomorrow!

Okay that's all for today. I hope that my trip will be an enjoyable one and a good one! Hope the weather will be sunny and bright and blue skies again too! See you all!

I want to see the world with my own eyes.

And there is a good news! I am going to Pelabuhan Ratu again! Yayness! And I'm going to stay for one night there yay yay yay. And of course, with my family and cousins! Woot woot woot. Okay I'm nuts. But I'm really happy cause like finally I can have another break and outing again.

Isn't he cute?


Hello people, today was well hmm, a not bad but not so good and not bad day. Okay don't bother that. Well it's normal I guess. Did nothing much but well, at least I continued doing my album again, after like quite a long time. Then I went to my dad's office which is.. As usual.

Well at my dad's office, some of my dad's colleague called me up and chatter with me. I think I have to thank them cause I was feeling quite bored and then yeah, thanks to them I was not bored anymore. Had a not so bad time chatting with them!

And after I reached home, I ate dinner. And talking about dinner and the title of my post, well yeah, I ate this super spicy food made by my maid. It's basically fried eggs, poured over with some super hot sauce made from blended chilly fried in oil. Sounds scary? It is! But so delicious!

Then as for the night was spent at home at usual. And I started to exercise since Monday! Haha, well just cycling at my gym cycling machine thingy for like twenty minutes and then I already sweat like a pig. Whew, it was quite a tiring one but well, an exercise is still an exercise.

Okay that's all for today, tomorrow my sisters are going back here! So I am really excited about it because my days here won't be so boring anymore. Okay ciao then!

Boredom is over. Yes? Yes!

Tang Yuan

Hello people! Okay I'm currently freaking irritated and stressed right now cause of my internet,it's really screwed up somehow and gosh, it can be a real pain in the neck. Nevertheless, lets get on with today.

Today is like a tang yuan day here hehe, and well yeah you gotta eat the tang yuan as according to your age and add another one. It's been a tradition since a long time ago, and making the tang yuan is my favourite part. Rolling and rolling and dusting and stuff.

Today was more of a homy day, spent almost the whole afternoon at home playing comp. Ironically, the internet was super fast in the afternoon! And I truly had a great time surfing then. But now.. heh, screwed up.

Then yeah that's all for the day. Helped my mum prepared more parcels and I did some workout! Well was cycling in those kind of gym-bicycle for 20 minutes, with the heaviest cycle as possible. Whew, sweat like a pig.

Okay that's all for the day! Can't pose pictures so.. Sorry! But it's okay, more pictures coming up yes. See you!

Judge me... You can't

Have a little faith


I miss Tanglin. I miss everyone there.

D-day is drawing near!


Hello again people! Today was hmm not bad I guess. I would call it like more of a ~homy day because I spent much of the time today staying at home. But not totally of course. Today is Sunday (wait, yesterday was Sunday) and yeah it's always my favourite day. Cause of... Shopping!

In the afternoon I went grocery shopping again with my mother. Well the usual thing and stuff. And oh she was also buying like extra things cause she's making parcels for some people. So did quite a huge shopping today eh.

And oh today SP sent me an email about some DPA camp taking place next year. And I'm supposed to like send it by tomorrow! And I'm in Indonesia right now, and.... But anyway, I've sent the person-in-charge of the camp about this. And I'm waiting for her reply. Hope all goes well!

Alright after the shopping, I went home and stayed at home. Internet, facebooking and more. And oh, I finished Have A Little Faith by Mitch Albom too! It is, one of the best books that I have ever read. It's a MUST READ! It's so touching, inspirational, and ahh, amazing.

Then helped my bro and dad at the factory. Haha guess what. I was with my father who was splashing water at the floor so that two of his workers can sweep the dust and other particles carried by the water. Since I was kinda bored, I took a sweeper and started sweeping along. Two of my father workers looked shocked! Guess they thought that why the heck am I doing their job? And it's rather dirty as well.

But anyho, I would rather do this that not doing anything at all or to put it simply, watching them sweep this floor while I was doing nothing. So why don't I help? And by the way, it's a great way to work up a sweat! Seriously haha.

Well I guess that's all for the day. It was a normal and not bad day for me. Hope my days can go on like this, normal, enjoyable and nice. The opposite of being boring, unhappy and not nice. Haha! I'm looking forward for tomorrow night as well, because I'll be making tang yuans for some occasion on the 22nd. Alright see ya then!

Have a little faith. Yup

La Vita


Beautiful sky. Beautiful life. I hope it will continue.
Photography by Yours Truly
I hope my days here will get better.


Hello people I'm back again here. Yesterday I was too tired to blog cause I just returned from Jakarta. Yeah it was a fun day that I had with Wendy and Cindy yesterday! The trip was really fun except for the jam. It took me like 6 hours to reach Jakarta where usually it only takes 2.5 - 3 hours. Whew, I don't know why.

Well I was late to meet Wendy from 3 PM to like 4 PM (Sorry!) but well, we met up and then we went out together to MKG. Ate at Jco and chatted there for around 45 - 60 minutes. Then we went to walk around and chat again hehe. It was really an enjoyable one. It's so much better than doing nothing aye?

Then after meeting Wendy I went to meet my aunt and my cousin while waiting for my bro to come and meet me later at night. So I ate dinner with my aunt and went to walk around to look (or shop) for things with my cousin. Bought a shirt and more books (yay!).

The journey home was great, it only took 2.5 hours to reach my hometown again. Whew the journey was so much nicer and smoother. But well was feeling really tired when I reached home so did nothing much then.

Today was another good day. Went to help my dad with in the factory and it was HOT haha! Cause we were working near an oven of like approximately 500 degree Celsius? And I also took lots of pictures today, a photography day for me and I love it.

Oh, today's weather was awesome too! Blue skies and... Ahhhh

And you know what? I played Futsal too with my bro and cousins and my dad's workers. Haha guess what, we were beaten by the workers! They are so pro and yeah. Well I may say that it's my fault that our team lose cause I can't play soccer and... Yeah you continue.

Ate dinner outside with my bro and cousins and had a great time chatting about lots of things. From cars, to ghosts and partying. Really great time.

Okay I guess that's all for today! I hope my remaining days will be better and better. Improve and improve. Okay, see ya then!

Put yourself into my shoes. Bah, I think it's useless.

Jakarta


Blue skies make my days perfect.

Hello people! Today was a... Okay day I think. I did nothing much but well, it's okay I guess.

Today I went to cut my hair. You know something really funny happened. After one helper washed my hair before the hairdresser cut them, the helper gave me some magazine. I thought it's going to be some magazine for woman (cause it's a saloon after all) and then... She gave me FHM! I wanted to laugh but I hold it. And don't worry I did not read it.

Alright the next thing is, because the hairdresser that usually cuts my hair was not there, my hair was cut by another one. And somehow in the middle of the process of cutting my hair, I was utterly shocked to see my hair cause it was different. I don't know why but I looked like a punk. But weirdly, it becomes okay at the end. Haha!

The evening was not well-spent. I did nothing much but to talk to myself again. And I came up with a new idea of photography, hope it will go well haha. Shall see my facebook albums for new photos alright.

And tomorrow... Or like in 7/8 hours time, I'm going to Jakarta! Yay like finally I'm going somewhere I have been wanting to go... At least not gonna be a boring day eh? I hope tomorrow will be great! Hope the weather, the plan and everything will go smoothly.

Yup I will be meeting Wendy in Jakarta tomorrow, gonna have lunch and then perhaps go for some walk-walk in the mall or something like that. I wanna bring her to Jco, hopes she like the doughnuts there. And I can't wait to try some too.

Then after that gonna go out with my brother to have dinner and also another walk. Hope I can find what I want to find in Jakarta tomorrow. Books, comics and a pair of new shoes! Haha, hope I can find everything there.

Alright I guess that's all for today. Tomorrow is so gonna be a good day. And I have somehow been waiting for this day to come and it's coming! Haha. I don't know if I sound rather crazy here but yeah, I think this shows how desperate I am to like want to go out thing? Haha.

Alright, hope tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and the day after the day after tomorrow and so on will be better and better! See ya all!

I sound nuts.

Drive on


I miss Sweden somehow.

Vaxholm, midsummer festival.


Hello again people! Today was a great day. Did lots of things again (which I love) and yup. My dad went to Jakarta to see a dentist to check his teeth so I spent my day with my mum hehe.

So I went to do some shopping in a nearby supermarket and as always, I love shopping haha (It's truly better than doing nothing right?). And oh today I finally created my Indonesian IC cause I'm 17 now. Well yeah you make your IC here when you are 17. I hope everything turned out nice, especially my face in the photo...

Anyho, then I spent my day by... Eating! And talking about eating, I have this irritating pimple located in the bridge of my lips. Can you imagine how irritating is that? It's so painful to just open my mouth to put food into it. So I have to open my mouth small if not it will hurt like shit. I hope it will be cured ASAP.

And today is a great day because I... Drive again! So well my mum told me that I should be driving since I have nothing to do at home. So well, I drove. And this time round, my driver brought me into the city with its bustling traffic. Kind of scary but I have and I must get used to that kind of surrounding.

It's kind of pointless to drive on empty streets all the time, because when I step into the busy streets, I will freak out. So after driving around the city, my driver brought me to a so-called countryside of my hometown. Paddy field with a hill on the background. Superb view! And another things is... The sunset! It was amazing.

I seriously love driving, or traveling in any form. In cars, planes, bikes or even foot. And last night I've discovered another method. Motorcycle! Last night my dad's friend sent me home after the event with his motorcycle. And it was an awesome ride, with the wind blowing against my face. It's cooling. Well I doubt I am allowed to ride motorcycles, if I can, I will love it.

Traveling is really nice. It gives me a peace of mind and a time to ponder about life. It soothes me down and calms me as well. That's why sometimes I just love to walk and wander anywhere, yes and that's including my house surrounding. And of course traveling makes me happy. Take me to a place, especially exotic ones, and I will love it.

So I promise myself that I will travel round the world when I grow up. Well not to every country but at least the seven continents. And explore those continents!

Okay that's all I guess for today. Can't wait for Thursday because it will be my turn to go to Jakarta to meet Wendy. Yay, finally a road trip and another journey somewhere. See ya then!

Travel around the world. And you shall see what life is.

Viva la musica


Chilli sauce treble clef
Photography and art by Yours Truly
Lame things, turn into beauty


Hello people! Today was a great, like great and awesome but tiring day! But I really love today, I would say it's one of the best days of my life! Why?

I had my first public performance on the piano!

Yeah as I told you I was playing the piano in an event held at my hometown. Well I made a few mistakes here and there but I pulled it through and no matter good or bad, I truly enjoyed myself there! I might not be the best player out there, but seriously, I enjoyed myself there.

Well honestly speaking it was one of the most chaotic event I've ever been on to. Why? Let me tell you how chaotic it is. It's even more chaotic than some events that I had performed at in Tanglin. So... lack of management, lack of this and that. Well...

Firstly, when we went there for final rehearsal, everything was not set up at all. No sound system, nothing. So we waited for freaking 2 hours (From 12 to 2) then we start practising. Instead of practising for four hours, we used two hours to wait and left with two hours to practise. How irritating is that.

During the performance, when I sat to play my piano. The piano was not on, the volume was zero, there was NO chair. Horrible. Thankfully I was alert enough to spot this and that, and managed to put back to normal. So everything went as normal (except for the mistakes).

Alright and remember that I told you that I sang too? Okay here's the problem. There was no enough mikes. But there was enough mikes during the rehearsal. Weird? And because of that I did not perform at all for the second song because I gave my mike to my friend who has a solo part (unlike me, I'm a duet).

And somehow Ms Tang's words "Whatever happens, the show must go on!" rang in my head. Haha I still remember her story she told us last year.

And yeah that's about the bad part of the performance. The good part is that I truly enjoyed myself there. Apart from the bad management, from my mistakes and everything. It was my first public performance on the piano. And yeah, I'm quite proud of myself and my town. Somehow. Even though I'm playing a song they don't know. I just love it!

Alright I think I deserve a good break. Gonna get busy this week and next cause I have many things going on and one of them is.. JAKARTA! "Excited excited" Like finally I am going there for a shopping spree (I wonder with who) and yeah. My sis are coming back next week too. So more gathering = more fun. Yay.

That's all for this wonderful but tiring day then. Truly enjoyed what I did today again. And I want to thank the people from 88 production a lot! Thanks for the joy and fun we have shared. Love you all!

I'm only pleasing the audience. And myself.

Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live


One day I shall write a rhapsody for the sky.
Photography by Yours Truly
That's my aunt's song book


Hello people! Today was a rather awesome day, again (yay) because as usual I went for my practice and yup, have fun with the people there. Especially when we watched that ghost footage haha! And guess what.

I'm going to sing together with them.

And yes that is scary for one, my singing is not good. Second, I'm afraid that I may end up ruining the whole song which is even worst than the first point. Well I'm just going to put my best shot I think, and remember to enjoy singing or it will never appear out.

And well yeah, when I first went there I was a quiet and shy little boy who didn't talk but now, I talk with them a lot and it becomes more fun. Well yeah sadly I'm kind of an introvert. I won't start talking but I will chatter once you talk to me kind of thing. Which is... Bad and good.

Oh, don't think that I'm going to die when you look at my title. That is a quote I took from the book Tuesdays with Morrie which is a superbly awesome book! I recommend everyone to read that book. It's really inspiring and touching. And also has a deep meaning into it.

The book is really good. It's very meaningful and it has lots of great teachings in it. Especially the quotes, which is really precious. It will be such a waste if I did not take these quotes. So I even like mark the pages with good quotes and start writing the quotes once I bought a notepad.

Well yeah I guess that's all for today. gonna get really busy these three days cause the performance is on Monday. Scary but fun. I love performing especially with many people. Not really a solo guy but enjoy playing the piano alone haha. Okay see ya folks!

Love each other, or perish

I don't seek fame, nor do I seek publicity


I am who I am.
Photography by Yours Truly
Aku means me haha


Heyow people! Today was another great day. And oh I'm going to tell something exciting haha.

Okay firstly, I'm going to perform on the piano! Haha. Yup. There's this even that is going to happen next Monday here in my hometown. It's like an end of year event where businessmen come to gather and talk and stuff. Then there's this woman (the organiser) whom my father recommended me to her to play. And I'm like what? Haha

But well I ended up agreeing with my dad.

So I have been spending my days like practising for the event. Two songs, now three. And now it's even more fun cause some of my friends will be like singing like a choir with me on Howl's Moving Castle which is nice! Yep.

Well so I'm kind of both nervous and excited for it like how I was excited and nervous about O Levels. But I kept telling myself that nah, I'm just going to have fun there right?

Talking about having fun and the title of this post, let me tell you something.

You know, I was once reluctant to perform cause my dad is not going to the event. Then I told myself like how I told myself during SYF. I come there to perform, not to impress others, not to gain fame nor publicity. But I want to go there and enjoy and make people happy with my music (hopefully).

I once hear this saying. When we are performing. We are suppose to forget who we are. Our identity, ourself. When we perform we are who we performing as. We are not the same we when we perform. Forget about getting fame, forget about making mistakes. Just enjoy the music and just enjoy what we are doing.

And of course this does not apply to competition okay.

Well yeah. I guess by saying this I can counter to ahem. So yeah. I don't wish to get famous or something like that. I just want to enjoy music, and seek talent to play music. I don't wish to show off, I just want people to enjoy my music. That's all!

Alright that's all for today I guess. More posts coming up. And oh I can't believe two weeks have gone since I'm here. Time do really fly quickly. And I want this to occur (when I'm really bored haha). Okay see ya all!

You don't understand me. You don't know me.

I got a feeling...


Those days... When I was counting the days to O Levels
Photography by Yours Truly
Now I'm fearing the results


Hello people! Another good day today! I suppose. Well again I did many things which make my day a good day.

Firstly, when shopping again mwahaha with my mum! You know I'm not a shopaholic but when it comes to shopping when I'm bored, I'll be like BRING IT ON haha. So well I look for a few shirts and pants. No result for pants but I found 3 nice polo shirts which I really love. Simple and nice.

Then I went to send my mum home and then... I head off to this place to by lunch. And na uh.. I drove there! Yeah! With the supervision of my driver of course. And the good thing is I drove there, and drove back from there to my house. No casualties and no injuries whatsoever. So perhaps my driving skill is really improving. I hope it is and I hope it continues to improve!

Well the thing is that I can drive. But I don't have the guts to drive on the road. It's rather scary because I'm afraid of this and that. You know why? Cause really, driving here, I mean the road here, is not as nice and safe as the one in Singapore. Driving must be more careful here.

Whew, I hope nothing bad will occur while I'm driving.

After that, I ate my lunch and I was so bored that I went to ask my little cousin to play. Well not little she's primary four now. But yeah, we went to walk around my house, played basketball, pick some random fruits and just kill our time. But it was nice, as in I was not feeling bored. You know, it's better than doing nothing at all right?

And you know what's funny? Just now in the evening, I was so bored that I... SWEPT the floor haha! I just picked up my broom and start sweeping the floor. I don't know why but yeah, I just started sweeping and I don't know why.

Well I still hope and wish that my days here will be getting better and better and better. So I hope that God listens to my prayer and hope. And my wish could come true! Alright I guess that's all for today. Gotta cook my dinner so see ya!

Life is like drawing without an eraser.

Heartbeat


When two passion collide.
Photography by Yours Truly.
Piano and flute. My loves.


Yellow people! (Hello) Today was a great day I suppose. Again, many things occured which makes my day quite nice. Hmm, I realised when I have lots of things to do, or when lots of things (good things) happened, my day seems a lot better! Uh huh. Well I guess it's about the time filled thingy.

Today was great, I went to see the piano teacher again to discuss the pieces I will be playing. Believe it or not I'm playing "Summer" and Howl's Moving Castle Main Theme by Joe Hisaishi, my favourite pianist and composer! Yup gonna play it in a medley. Hmm.

Well I have and I must practise a lot cause I have only like approximately 5 days before the event. Well I've been playing these pieces for quite a long time. So I'm not that totally worried about the playing. But I'm still going to play safe, so still need to practise and sharpen my skills. I don't want to like halfway stop and SHIT I FORGOT! Haha.

Then when I return from the piano thing, I went to... DRIVE! Yes on the road. And no accident or anything haha! I hope that's not going to happen. Never. I kinda got a trauma after what happened last year (If you read my blog). And yup, I hope it won't happen anymore.

So well I hope I can like really really as in seriously drive on my own without having supervision from others (like in this case my driver). When I can drive independently, I can go anywhere I want, anytime! On my own. I don't have to rely on my drivers anymore. That's all.

Right I guess that's all for today. Really really hope that my days are getting better and better (Or I think in this case continue to get better!). And I hope my stay here become more happier! Alright people! See you all then!

Music is the food for my soul. Not anything else but music.

La Passion


Damn I miss Starbucks Chai Tea Latte!
Photography by Yours Truly
And I miss this cake too.


Hello people! Today was a good day I think. Yup. Lots of things happened today and it's a good day so gonna blog quite a bunch today. But anyway, hope my days are getting better and better so that my days here will be more enjoyable! Yup?

Well today I went for a blood checkup. Results say.... I'm good! Haha, with the exception that my triglyceride is high (which is a fat that comes from plants). So I need to tackle more fatty food and fried food. Scary. And my leukocytes level is also slightly above normal. Must have an infection (CHOY) somewhere.

Then checked my blood glucose level and it's all normal. Whew, I fear of getting diabetes and thank God I have none. But still I'm going to take care of my health. I am who I am now. But I may not be the same me in like 40 years time. So gotta stay healthy people!

After the check, there's this piano teacher that came to my father's office. And yeah she's one of the organiser of this even that is happening like next week. Then she came to test my playing and stuff. And believe it or not? She ask me to perform in the event! That is like retarded... And tomorrow I'll be meeting her again to see how's the things will be going on.

Then after that went to see a futsal match between the workers at my mum's shop haha. Quite fun to see them play. And mostly, it reminds me of the handball games I had with the 4E1'09 peeps, because the playing area looks like the parade square. Oh man, miss them a lot!

And yeah I guess that's all for the day. On another side, my aunt and my cousin is here too! Well at least it's going to kind of brighten my days up eh? At least by like a little. Sometimes I seriously can't take the boredom. Like seriously cannot. Just be patient, bear with it kind of thing. But well patience has a limit sometimes I guess. So yup.

Anyway I think that's all for today. See you next time then! Can't believe that it was during the holidays that my blog becomes alive. When usually it becomes dead haha. It's the only platform where I can channel my emotions and stuff hmm? Okay see ya~

Dream a million dreams.

Life's logic


How I wish I could fly away.

Taken outside E3-12!


Heya there people! How's your day? Today was a nice day I suppose. Well I guess not as boring as any other day? I love Sunday. Because that's when I will go grocery shopping with my mum. Then usually we'll have lunch outside haha. That would really make my day don't you think so?

So well today I went to do the grocery shopping thing, finally bought my shampoo (cause my mum is using a different brand) and I bought something. Deodorant! Lol. Too bad I can't find Adidas Blue Challenge here, so I bought another brand of almost similar fragrance. So that wouldn't be as bad
I think.

Then yeah, I went to the factory and helped my dad a little bit. Placing stickers haha, which is really fun! Then I went to follow my brother go here and there, which also eventually lead to me helping him in some of the work. Which I also love."

You know, I would rather go and work somewhere rather than live a life that is boring like this? Just give me a job and I would gladly work it. I mean yeah, as long as there's an activity, time would flow MUCH faster than how it would flow when there's no activity right? So yup.

But the question is, will I get a job? And the answer is? No. I doubt my parents will allow me anyway.

So well, I guess I'll live my life like this, and try to improve it day by day by finding activities to fill so that I won't feel that bored. I gotta wait when my cousins are all coming here, well at least more company would mean more fun. And more fun would mean more life. And I also can't wait for my sisters to return here as well, which is like in 17 more days. Time, please flow faster! Haha

Well, I don't know whether it's my fault or not that I'm leading this schedule in my holiday. Maybe it's because I went back too early, or maybe I'm not being too "open minded". Don't bother if you don't understand what I mean. Haha. But well, God, just make my days here better, please?

Anyway enough on the "dark" sides. Talking about the positive side, you know what? Let me tell you something. Okay so my dad's colleague has a friend. His friend is one of the heads of this wind orchestra in Jogjakarta (Central Java). And he says he wants to bring him to meet me and we can talk about music! Yayness. And he's gonna watch my play the piano too. Scary.

And you know? In Jogjakarta, my dad's colleague say that people can have their own concerts in public, and the public can watch for free. Good or bad they will support you. Oh man, if only the same thing could happen here in my hometown? I would like go there and play piano! (Joking, that is just freaking nuts, I'm still an amateur).

But well, whatever the case, at least I'm meeting someone who can at least guide me in music. And we can talk about it as well. No one (except for a handful some) enjoys talking about music, classical music, with me. So well, I hope this meeting could do "something" with this passion of mine.

Okay I've really talked a lot so I guess I would stop here. That's all for today I guess. See ya and pray hard that my days will get better! And God, once again, please make my days here better and better! Thanks~

Life's logic.

Talking to myself

I miss school!


Hi again people! Today was a slightly much better day than yesterday. Weirdly, I didn't go to the factory with my dad for like two days in a row. Well I hope he understands that I need more freedom yes? More freedom equals to more life equals to more enjoyable. Uh huh.

Well today I completed the 4E1'09 part of my photo album. It looks pretty neat but it lacks of something, and that is colour. Well I'm not a good artist so I don't dare to draw or colour the album. That may even like ruin the album itself. Yikes.

Anyway, I can't wait to finish the album and see the finished product. So far it has been good just that the pasting of the photos can take a long time. And I still have lots of blank pages to go. I'm still wondering what to fill it with.

Also I've been wondering whether double sided tape will last long or not... If not I'm afraid in like 10 years time the photos will start falling off. Oh well, I hope it won't.

Alright I guess that's all for today. My bro is coming back today, hope the days with him around would be better. And as always, I hope that my days here will get better and better. Uh huh. And it would be so much more of a holiday. Please God, fulfill my wish!

I realise that talking to yourself is good.

I got you


I wanna fly, higher and higher.

Blue sky is loved.


Hello people! Today was a better day I suppose. Much better. I went shopping with my mum to look for my long pants and I got 3 pairs of pants now. I'm still looking for more though haha. And what I need now is shirts and shoes. I need polo shirts, nice ones.

Not only I shopped I also went around my town haha. I love it when I go to places, especially in cars. I don't know but it's just so relaxing, kinda calms your mind down you know. Really nice.

Anyway something really funny happened today.

While at the clinic, there was this man who entered the clinic, offering us to sell some cloth which is good. It's more of a traditional cloth, which you can make it into clothes and stuff. And the price was 250000 Rupiah which is around 30 SGD. And I think it's kind of too much.

Then a nurse came out and see and asked me how much the cloth is, and when I told her the price, she was shocked.

Why?

Because the man came a day ago and also offered her the same cloth for only 50000 Rupiah or 5 bucks. And that's like a super huge difference right? So she quietly called another "witness" which is my dad's colleague down.

Then she surprised the man and told him everything. I can see how embarrassed he was though... He became quiet and speechless. He almost wanted to ran away and went out of the clinic. But my dad says he'll buy the cloth if he lowers the price and so did he.

But it was such a funny thing, he tried to trick us but he ended up being the one tricked himself. But also, what I admired him the most was his enterprising spirit. Instead of "giving up" and sold the cloth at cheap prices, he told us that either you buy it or you don't. He's also very courteous in a sense that he apologises any mistake he made. Very little people did this you know.

But anyway, I can also tell that he was lying. He told us that he was from this place in Indonesia called Toraja, and bla bla bla. But I can tell that he wasn't. Even the price of the thing was also a lie and I can tell it as well. From the way he speaks and stuff.

It's all about the psychology.

Alright I guess that's all for today. I don't know why but I have the feeling that my holidays are going to get better and better. God, please continue to make my holidays better and better. I would sincerely thank you for doing that.

See ya all people! And I still hope that my days here will get better!

If only I could break these chains.

If life were sweet


To every bad situation, there's always a ray of hope shining. I hope I'll see mine soon.

Hello again there! Hmm I would personally say today wasn't a really good day. Lots of things, bad things, happened. So yeah, if that's the case it's not a good day isn't it? Sometimes, in fact I really hope that I would never meet or see these bad things anymore. But I don't think that's possible you know. Well, I really hope that I will not see these bad things anymore. And as always, I hope my days would get better and better.

Today was also a rather boring day, I did nothing much, again. And I got really sleepy during the day, I don't know why. So I fell asleep for like 1 hour in the evening from around 7.30 to nine. Perhaps my glucose level dropped or something like that. Or maybe I was too bored that I got sleepy. Oh well.

But at night, it was rather exciting and fun you know. Like just now, my father and I went to have a walk to the road! Yup, walking on the road. It was so quiet and peaceful, there were no cars, very very little number of people and most importantly, tranquil! It was so quiet that we could only here our footsteps. Yup and the insects as well.

Walking is clinically proven good you know. Well I do enjoy walking, especially at night and at new places. But it's even better when I have some companions. Walking alone is just too scary. Walking also gives a peace to your mind. Let you relax and ponder about life. I did talk to myself a lot while we were walking. It's rather an enjoyable one.

Alright I guess that's all for today, another not-so-good day and I pray to God, please please make my days here even better with each coming day. I do not wish history to repeat itself. Let me have a holiday. An enjoyable one.

Please grant my wish, will you?

Life's perspective

Hello there again! Today, hmm was a better day than yesterday. In fact much better haha. Well my dad didn't ask me to follow him to the factory and stuff. So I stayed at home. Then I went to develop more photos for my photo album and then went home to do a part of it. So it was a rather fruitful day don't you think so?

While waiting for the photos to be developed, I also went to talk with my aunt. It's been a long time since I talked with her so yup. And we were talking about going for a holiday but... Domestic one haha. Who cares, we're going to Pelabuhan Ratu. I think that's good enough you know. Just bring me to a beach. That would be great.

And I'm also planning to go a few places like Jakarta and Bandung. I need to buy clothes! Yup, clothes for my polytechnic. Since I won't be wearing uniform but any clothes... I need to stock up on long pants cause I'm like wearing short pants all the times haha. So hopefully can find good clothes and pants.

Well I really hope that the days are getting better here. Since today was better than yesterday, I hope tomorrow will be better than today, and the day after tomorrow would be better than tomorrow and so on. I just want to call this holiday a holiday. Not just a boring and ordinary day that I spent. And yes I still need a vacation.

I used to wish time to flow slower when I'm here. But at times, I really hope that time could flow faster. It can get pretty boring here, especially when I'm alone at home. So that's when I wish time could flow faster.

Okay I got to go, see ya other times then! Sorry about no picture! Haha

Live your life at your own perspective. Yup

Life isn't fair. Is it?


I don't want to rot here like and apple.
Photography by Yours Truly.
Taken while I revised... Haha. Bring back those days.


Hello people! How's your holidays going? Mine? As usual. I don't know what to say. Well it's my second day officially "alone" in my hometown (cause my sis and her friends and my bro have returned to Singapore/Jakarta). And my first day... Was GREAT! Yeah right. It was okay I suppose, so so and normal. But it's not fantastic. And I want my day to be fantastic.

Today was alright, as usual I followed my dad to the factory, the clinic and now the pharmacy. It's kind of a routine. I hope, hopefully, I could break this routine. I wanna do something else, something I want and I love doing. Not something that I "have" to do. Oh well, I was pondering to myself today in the factory.

You know I love to talk to myself (inside my heart of course) and yup, today I had a deep conversation with myself. I was pondering about how and why... But never mind, long story. I don't bother telling it here. I just want to ask why can't I have a perfect holiday like how people have their holidays. It's just... This is not a holiday you know? I doubt it is.

I need a holiday, like after four years of hard work, blood, sweat and toil. This is what I get? This? This is not what I want and yet I get it. Well it's only the first day. So I really really hope that the days would get better and better. Really! Better and better.

Well I guess that's all for today, as I said I did nothing much. And it's really sad that I couldn't do nothing much. Well it's life I guess, nothing is fair and life will never be fair. Hopefully, it will, one day.

Now, my one and only ultimate wish is to get more freedom. And I wish and hope and pray that my days here would get better and better. And one more thing, I hope I can get a vacation. Oh God, please hear my prayers, and let it come true!

Everyone wants freedom. So do I.

Home, is where the heart is?


This is a picture of Pelabuhan Ratu.

Taken somewhere somewhen last year


Hello people! Yay finally able to blog again. It's been such a long time since I touched this blog... Anyway here I am again. Blogging. First thing first, I'm back at Indo now! Yup, I went back for my holidays and gonna return back to Singapore at around January. For the D-Day. Scary right.

Anyho, since I'm back, I'm going to talk about the things that had happened so far. Well the flight was alright I think, was my first time taking a budget airline... Hmm what can you expect yeah? You know? No food, except for a piece of chocolate muffin and a cup of H2O.

Anyway, that's for the flight part, when I reached my hometown, it was FREAKING cold I tell you. It's even colder than my airconned room. I need blanket and stuff haha. But the most remarkable one is my dogs! My dogs have grown quite a lot, they were huge (well I mean bigger when I last saw them).

Come to think of it, it's been 10 months since I return home, no wonder so many things changed yeah?

And oh I forgot to mention, two of my sis' friends went with us too.

So today (yesterday), we went to Pelabuhan Ratu. It's one of my favourite place here in my town. It's not a part of the town, well it's kind of a part of a bigger part of my town. Okay, forget it if you don't get what I'm talking about. Take it as somewhere in my hometown yes.

Basically it's a beach, very very beautiful. And guess what, I watched, as in literally WATCHED the sun set today! It was one of the amazing view that I've seen in my life. It's such a beautiful view, too good to miss, too beautiful to talk about. I'm just speechless.

Then we returned home and then bought dinner and yup. Went to a tour of my hometown with my sister and her BF and her friends. It was rather an enjoyable one even though it rained. Quite heavily. That's why it's so cold now.

Anyway that's all for today I suppose. More to come in this ~hopefully-won't-be-so-boring~ holiday trip. I didn't want to let history repeat itself, again. EEEK! Haha. Anyway so that's all and see ya!

Home. It's good, it's bad. Hopefully it's more of the good.

Maksim!


Once a passion, always a passion.
Photography by Yours Truly
Piano is the sex!


Yo, today (yesterday, 19/11/2009) would be the best day of my LIFE! I mean one of the best. Because I went to watch Maksim's live concert at the Esplenade! And yes I went with Serena and her friend. The three of us were AMAZED. Omg, I'm still so excited even until now! Seriously!

And I went to get his autogrpahed-new album, PURE! Yup, AUTOGRAPHED. Can you believe that? Oh man I'm so excited! Weeee. Okay that's enough for the excitement.

And you know what? He NODDED at ME! OMG!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Okay enough enough. Anyway after his performance, I was really inspired you know. His playings were awesome, it "melts" me! Especially the New World Symphony and the encore song. It was amazing and breathtaking. The hall was quiet and was seriously stunned by his playing, in a good way, and yeah. It was just speechless.

Well it was really sad that I couldn't see his fingers though. That's the real deal.

Anyway before that in the day, I went for my health check-up at Jurong. Was kinda pissed when I went to Jurong Medical Centre (JMC) and they say I couldn't do one there. I'm like it's stated by SP that I could go here and now what. Okay nevermind. After that they asked me to go to another clinic at Jurong. And I did my checkup there.

The checkup was alright, blood test, X-ray, urine. height and visual. Nothing wrong so far EXCEPT that I'm obese. Kinda not bothered, cause I just had an exam. Exam = no exercise = fats. So yup. Exercise time!!! Maybe during hols. That would be my agenda.

Then after that. STORM! Nah I mean monsoon rain. It was super heavy just now, that a flood, a small one, occurred at Pandan Valley Road there. Some parts like Jelita. Well it was my first time seeing a flood in Singapore. Kinda scary. Reminds me of some natural disaster.

Anyway that's all for the day! It was an AWESOME day! Too bad I can't take picture with the king of piano. Oh man, but at least his autograph is enough yes. Okay see you then!

A passion will always be a passion.

Special edition 300th post!

Happy 300th post my dear blog! Haha, alright. So this blog is getting old. Good I guess.

Alright since it's the 300th post in my blog, it needs special post too right? So I'm going to pose a reflection that I have in my four years of secondary school life. Since It's over...

I entered TSS in 2006 and went into the class of 1E4. Honestly, I wasn't really pleased to enter the class. It's like 4? It's the last class? Great. But no. I realised you don't compare a class based on how clever the people inside are. You compare on how "class" is the class. A class is where a group of students study as a class. And no matter how clever these people are, a class is still a class.

No, I have no regrets joining 1E4 at all.


2E4'07 Chalet

Then I move to 2E4. This time round, everyone has grown up. We're no longer the small and tiny kids we used to be when we wee in Sec one. We were more matured, more open and more understanding. We became more united. Who we don't know become who we know. Who we forget become who we remembered. It's great! I love 2E4. And being the class chairman with Josh, Adeline, Amanda, and more is a pleasure as well.

I never regret being in 1E4/2E4. At all.


3E1'08 @ Bethany Methodist House

Then in 2008, we all went through streaming. So we were all separated. I went to 3E1, with Adeline, Jeslyn, Neal and Chong Tuck. Well it's nice there, it is my dream to enter 3E1 because I want to take triple science. I'm always amazed by science, some of you might know this. Well in the first place, yeah I feel that oh this is the "smartest" class. So it won't be fun, people here have no life, bla bla bla. No, again I'm wrong. We might be students who wish to excel, thus the hard work. But no, we are also the people who want to have fun. Yup, have fun.

And again, I have no regrets joining 3E1


3E1'08 Mr Goh Farewell Party

Despite of all the hardwork I have endured, I finally made it to 4E1, topping the 4th place in the Cohort. I was very happy and surprised. I didn't know that I could make it this far you know, I'm serious. Life in 4E1 may be tougher. I mean obviously, duh, haha. Firstly I feel we somehow become more "competitive". Yes, everyone wants to do well, who doesn't right? I never know that life could be this tough. But I endure and endure. And well, finally I've decided not to compete. I just want to learn and grow. That's it.

I come to school not to compete, but to learn and study.


4E1 Class Photo!

In 4E1, life become harder. Firstly, my mid year result was what not I expected. I plunged into dark depths and simply felt like giving up. But I push harder and harder, I knew I don't want to do this horrible during the O Levels right? Prelim was alright. My result went up by a tiny weeny bit but prelim also served me as a reminder. It's not the end.

French Leave.


The picture I took during French Leave

French Leave was a 2-week leave that I had to prepare. I drilled REALLY hard during these 2 weeks. So far it was the hardest two weeks I have endured. Imagine this, every day I would study non stop. I gave up my computer and I simply did practices everyday. Bio, Phy, EM, AM, Chem, EL, everything. I felt like throwing up seriously. It's like "I have no life" situation. All I did was to study and to study and to study. I know and I really want to do well. Well, always taste the bitterness and then enjoy the sweetness later.

O Levels.


My O Levels Timetable. See how I can't wait to stroke off those papers?

O Levels. The most important examination I have so far. It determines my destiny and future. Where I'll be going and what I'll be doing. The three weeks that I had was somewhat okay. Yeah it can be really stressful especially after every paper that we had. My pimples were bursting on my face. It was horrible. But well, time flows REALLY quickly and the three weeks that I had seemed like three days. It was amazing.

Graduation Ceremony.


4E1'09 @ Graduation Ceremony

This ceremony marks the end of my secondary school life ~formally~. After the ceremony, I'm no longer a Tanglinian. I'm a graduate of TSS. It was a very touching and emotional moment for me. It tells me my journey, my adventure, and my chapter in the past fours years that I had. It was really sad to leave my school, my teachers and most importantly, my friends. For four years, for 1411 days, I have been in the school. And now I'm leaving? Isn't it seem to quickly?

Prom night.

This woould be the last gathering that I had with my friends. It's a way of how we end out chapter with a bang, and with a gush of emotions and tears. Prom was amazing. The food, the entertainment, the singing that I did and most importantly, the company. Yes, the company I had with my friends were unforgettable. It kind of feels that we deserve to have prom. It was the last gathering that we, the students and teachers had. It was so touching to read my tribute to the class with Annabel. And even Mrs Lee cried. It was really sad.

The end?

Well yeah, it's over now. My four years of secondary school life. My 1414 days of joy, sorrow and happiness that I've shared. My four years of hardship. My 1414 days of beautiful friendship that I have shared with my people. It was amazing. This, I would say, would be the BEST fours years of my life so far. The memories, the tears, the happiness and the joy that we had shall always remain in our hearts. I would never forget this memory. It's just too good and too wasteful to forget.

To all my friends, I wish you good luck in wherever you are heading towards to. May my blessing be with you. And never forget the moments we have shared together. Be it good or bad, be it happy or sad, memories will always remain as memories. So keep it right and tight in your heart and never forget. I will never forget you guys too. The memories I have shall remaind forever. Till I leave this world.

To all my teachers, thank you very much. The scoldings, the homework and the tests will always remain in my heart (well I'll forget some homework lol). But it was really a good experience being taught in Tanglin.

Last but not least, I, will never regret entering Tanglin. It might not be the best, but it is the best experience that I had. In my life.


And the legacy will live on...

Sunday 15 November 2009

Relax? No


The stage I used to see.
Photography by Yours Truly.
Tanglin's stage.


Okay as you can see, the picture in my blog disappears... Damn, I love the picture a lot! And I love the skin as well. IT's okay, time to source out for new skin I guess. Perhaps a new skin to signify the end of Os yeah.

Anyway today was alright I guess. Stayed at home for a long time cause Annabel and me were busy doing the speech thing for prom. Oh well, I thought I could relax after Os but turned out I can't relax. I have to get busy to do stuff.

And the performance with Jolene? Oh well, I think it's kinda ridiculous that we are only given like 3 days to prepare the item. Jolene and me are not even prepared lol. And neither have we practised. It's what I called eleventh-hour practice haha.

Spent yesterday looking for my Prom shoes. Found one and the price was OUCH. But anyway I think the shoe is going to be worth it cause I can use it for future use too. Not that I'll only buy this for Prom. That would be ridiculous.

Oh well. Prom, dread or beautiful, I'm still looking forward to it. It's gonna be the last gathering of the students so yeah. I just hope that it's gonna be a blast. Nah, it will be a blast. A memorable one as well yes. Okay see ya I guess.

It's weird how days gone by so quickly.

Friday 13 November 2009

Testing, something is weird with my blog. Testing testing.

I'm FREE MWAAHAHAHAHA

Liberta!

I'm FREEEEEEE YAYNESS

Okay that's for the big picture. I'm free at last! I've endured the past three weeks and it's gone in a blink. Yes, A BLINK. It just like woosh, and it flies over you. Past you. Like how the wind blows. But It's over! And I promise, I won't care about anything else. Not even about the results. I'm leaving everything to the heavens haha!

Today was the last paper and after Chem papers, everyone was cheering up haha! But it's not so -hot- kind of cheer haha, it was rather a silent one. But I knew that everyone IS happy. I'm sure, right?

After the paper went to Vivo with Neal, Annabel, Rachel, Federick and Cheryl who joined us later to catch a movie. 2012! It's okay... Scary and tense. But the story is so cliched. But I love the way how they sustain the story there. Before the movie, Fed and I went for a little shopping. Well it's actually me haha. Thanks for the help in choosing the shirts yeah!

After the movie returned to school for the Graduation Ceremony. It was nice I guess, but not so touching as last year's. I didn't cry! Lol. But yes, I felt really sad and touched after seeing the videos and how we have progressed for the four years. I can't believe I am who I am now. Seriously.

And yes, gonna miss you all my friends! Keep in contact yes?

And anyway after the ceremony it was pictures time so yup. After that went to eat with Neal, Annabel and Rachel at Pizza hut in Clementi. Whew can they please like improve their service? Gosh... And the pasta is undercooked. Sigh, no comments.

And now I'm here! I'm looking forward to a good night sleep tonight. Cause I've been depriving of sleep. Thanks to all the studying and revising and TYS-ing. But it's OVER! OVER and OVER! Haha! Shall upload the pictures soon yes. See ya then!

This is the 4 years, that I'll never forget.

Saturday 7 November 2009

I'm back :D


See how time flies really quickly? Just 5 more papers!
Photography by Yours Truly.
Left: My new countdown timer. Right: My O Level Timetable


Hullo there, back to blog! Haha. Whew, finally the "tough papers" are gone so I'm left with the MCQ and Chinese papers. Which I feel it's not as threatening and scary as the rest of the papers I have done for the past two weeks.

And I've decided to shut up. So I won't review what I had done in Os.

Because.

What's done is done and you cant change it.

Anyway, it's 6 more days to the end of Os! It's so cool how I used to countdown to the days to Os, and now I'm counting to the END of Os. Time really fly quickly you know.

And I hope next week will fly really quickly. But I doubt it will.

And well the Os are going to disappear and soon I will no longer call myself a student from Tanglin. It's really scary thinking how fast time could fly, and how fast things come to an end. But memories will always remain. Right?

Yeah that's all for today I guess. See ya then!

My symphony's movement "Secondary school life" is going to end. Another movement will take over.

Au revoir, sayonara, goodbye


As much as I dread them, I really love them more than I dread them.
Photography by Yours Truly.
Alright, it's time.


No no no, I'm not dying or deleting this blog haha! I said this to say goodbye to my blog cause this will be the last post I'm writing before O Level. Yep it's exactly 7 more days AKA one week more to my war. Last war of my secondary school life. It's both exciting, and scary.

Firstly yes it's exciting because as I said I'm really looking forward to my Prom and Grad night which is at 16 and 13 Nov respectively. It's scary because... Tell me someone who is unafraid of O Level! Everyone is freaking out, hello haha. But as the saying goes.

Just give your best shot.

And when I say the best, I really mean the best. The best of your life so far.

So I really can't wait. Mrs Lee, and the other English teachers told us that in O Levels, we're supposed to write the best essay we have ever written in our lives. So yeah I can't wait to write the best essay of my life. I can't wait to solve that most difficult Math Sum. I can't wait to solve the questions of our lives, and the human body anatomy. The most intriguing Chemical reactions, and the most difficult Physics question. Woot!

Okay that is long heh.

Anyway yes, I have, I must and I will put my bestest, ever effort that during the O Levels. Arrgh I can't wait! 7 more days!

Errm alright I guess that's all for today. Hmm well I might, MIGHT blog during the O Levels. You know, those relieving stress stuff hehe. And to give you an update [but I know like super little people read my blog anyway] about my O Level. And I seriously can't wait to type these posts in my blog.

"One more week!" "3 more papers!" "LAST PAPER!"

And when it's all over, I'll realise how time fly quickly yes.

Okay people see ya and ALL THE BEST to ALL the SEC 4Es/5Ns OUT THERE who are taking their O LEVELS! We can do it! Let us all venture into the storm!

One more week. Wish me luck, bless me with luck. And Good luck people!

Moral of the story: Something's ugly, will never remain ugly.


Okay people, how is it going there? Hmm, today and yesterday wasn't really a good day. Not so productive but well at least I still managed to complete some task hehe. And it all went according to plan so I guess it's good. 11 more days, it's starting REALLY soon.

Anyway today went to school, not much of studying but more of consultations with different teachers. It's umm alright I guess, my doubts are all cleared out. And tomorrow, gonna meet with one more and then I guess I'll spend the rest of the day studying. Not sure whether I should go to Physics or not.

Alright tonight gonna continue to study as usual. It's gonna be quick when I see "0 more days to the Os" in front of me, on my desk. Currently it's 11 more days, soon it's gonna be 10, 7, 5, 3, 1, 0. How amazing. And everyone seems to feel the heat now because... Of course, it's the biggest test of their lives. So far. Weee....

Alright, I promise myself this is going to be the second last post before O Level is finished. Gonna miss you my blog. Okay, see you then.

I see it. But I hope you don't.

I can't stand it

I love tea like I love music.


Hello again, hmm second day of French Leave. Not bad I guess. Quite productive, but yesterday was even better hehe. Cause today my pen spoiled halfway while I was doing my Bio so... Was forced to stop. And I lost my mood, maybe it's the rain, and my hunger.

Went to eat with Denise and MF at BBQ Chicken in WCP. Nice dinner hehe. And we talked a lot about... O LEVELS! And Prom! And Grad night! And Deterrence! And Terrorism! And Globalisation! As you can see, yes, we ate, we talked and we study haha!

Went to Popular to get my new pen, and refill and compass (Thank God I remembered). And then headed home! Well while on the way home...

I really feel stressed out.

Not that I feel depressed and wanna give up kind of feeling but more of this... "I'm tired" Kind of feeling. Am I pushing too hard on myself? I don't know. But I do know it's 13 more days and I HAVE to push it. It's like the last sprint of a marathon. And 13th of November. That's the finish line. Arrrgh come on people! Endure it!

Well the last major and national examination I had was PSLE which was very important to me as well. I mean, it's like a test of where I'm going next. Well I know where I'm going next, but I don't know whether my dream will come true or not. [Errrm, I think you should know it].

And I don't remember feeling really stressed during my PSLE, well I feel nervous and scared, but not stressed. Everything seemed normal to me. Perhaps, I was just still a little boy 5 years ago and now, I'm a grown up teen that knows the importance, the essence, the significance of this exam called the O Levels.

I guess, I'll just endure it.

And face it like a MAN. HAHA :D

Anyway that's all for today. I have things to do tonight so hmm, chop chop and lets get it over and done with. Bye!

Isn't it too obvious.

Life's a Rubik's Cube. It's complicated, but it's fun!

Hmm my never-seemed-to-be-used Rubik's cube.


Hello people, first day of French Leave... Hmm no bad, it was rather productive hehe. But somehow, somewhat, I don't know why I suddenly have this sore throat like ting! And a sore throat is there. My throat was freaking itchy in the morning and I continue to cough throughout the day.

The day started with Chemistry extra lesson, and it was rather short and simple. I stayed back in school to continue studying in the library and hmm well it was quite productive I would say. I studied from 1030 - ~2 non stop and it was in the afternoon that I started to lose my focus.

Perhaps it was the rain, perhaps it was the company that I have with my friends. Firstly I started doing it alone. Then it was so freaking cold (the aircon) and I decided to move to Madeline and Chew Huan table. And then yeah. Well studying with friends is quite fun, you get to learn from each other and also it's not as boring as it can be.

But anyway, overall, it was a very productive studying period for me. I get lots of things done which is great! Hehe, hope this will continue till O Level is over.

Alright I guess that's all for today. Hmm I'm seriously hating this sore throat, feels like someone is tickling your throat haha. Any tips/suggestions on how to cure it? Okay see ya all then!

Well well, life, here we go again,

Hello people, a beautiful Sunday again. It's weird huh? Like the weather is always changing for the better. Well not that it is weird but, it's beautiful eh? I hope I can be like the weather too, changing for the better. Both in my studies, my emotions, and myself.

Alright what's up with me? Haha

Anyway today was hmm a normal Sunday I would say. Just that I woke up quite early, to, of course, study! I did Chem, Physics and Emath in the morning till afternoon. And then did a little Physics again. Studying is one of my first priorities now. Weet.

Hmm what else, went outside for lunch and did my usual shopping. I cooked this "French onion soup" today and it failed. Badly haha. But it tasted alright I would say, light and sweet and tasty yum. Hmm but yes, I can always improve.

Alright tomorrow I'll be having Chemistry. So gotta wake up early. And talking about wakin up early, I am trying to follow what Mr Andy and Mrs Lee asked us to do. To set up our biological clock by waking up at every 7 A.M. in the morning. I hope I can. So far I'm able to do so, so I hope my biological clock will be set by the O Levels period.

Okay it's time for Chem. And oh, I forgot to say, I'm on... French Leave! Haha, I'm going to study real hard during my French Leave. You guys should do the same too! C'mon we can do it! Hehe. See ya then!

We gotta live like we're dying.
