shopping

visiting is now on top of my list of things to do in the holidays. went to ben's house with kumar on friday, playing guitar and playing guitar, radical dreamers rocks! went to halim's house on saturday, where we enjoyed splendid hospitality. lepak! thanks dude for inviting =)

well, today was pure shopping. before i adjourned to bugis, i was counting numbers and their cubes, but only up till 13 and 2197 =( nvm, i'll improve soon, heh. met up with dar, glenn and huangeng for shopping. glenn bought this cool t-shirt at natural project, i wanted to buy one pretty feast to the eyes t-shirt, save the contrain from my pocket. went to x/square (looks like chi-square) in marina square to purchase dar's shirt and pants. so people are spending a bomb on prom and clothes, i am only willing to pay no more than $30. haha. saw saumun and shauna there too, but guessed they didn't notice me. being the usual slacker, i was in shirt, shorts and slippers. that is why i like being with glenn, he doesn't mind what i wear as he recall people not accepting my dress code in the streets of orchard and suntec. he would have been in shorts too, but this was one of the occasions he had jeans on.

anyway, my parents were complaining on why i must wear formal to prom. i was like, if only slack casual was accepted, i would definitely go to prom in shirt, slippers and three-quarters. that's what i did for my sec school prom, considering it being held in school. i wish to pull off the same stunt again, but it'll be a disgrace to fullerton if i came in such attire. and to think that i find it difficult wearing jeans out... hmm, come to think about it, i've wore jeans about less than 5 times in my entire life =) if i were to wear so, that would be so not stuck.

that's quite out of point, but yeah, i realised like 95% of the strayers at orchard wore jeans. thanks to glenn, i didn't feel awkward =) places like topshop are daylight robbers, thank god for me being of the minority mindset for stringent consumers, if not singapore's economy will go bust. heh. went to an ulu foodcourt in centrepoint for dinner with glenn and huangeng, and man was it good. these places rock my world, where a simple fare in a tranquil ambience at the peak hour satisfy thy stomach. interesting to find out glenn's mindset, where we chatted about girls and how he doesn't seem to fancy any yet. funny how such a cool guy doesn't have any suitors yet? well, went to john little with huangeng before standing at the traffic light in front of it. standing there and watching the world passing is cool, but we decided to head home anyway. he also talked to me about his idea on girls on the mrt, and we had a heartful time reminscing the good ol' softball days.

reached home only to come online at 12.30am, and entering a chat with ryan, jin and squirrel about relationships yet again. lol. interesting how we argued our opinions and accepting each other's viewpoint. AF rOxOrz! i am teh slacker, and simplicity is king.

logic

oh screw maths s paper. it'll be ungraded, heh! =)

so went to zhiyang's house after that in hopes of going to jam or go out, but it so happens that the rainy season puts people at home and i was thus stuck there. anyway, picked up the ff7 main theme song on piano! very easy to play and the eased felt good. piano rocks!

stayed home on wednesday only to find myself doing pointless stupid stuff like surfing aimlessly on the net. but i got myself to do something alittle more progressive as i finished the book "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" by mark haddon. its uber cool, making me ponder on what i have been missing in my life. so i lose out to a spastic boy, but its alright, i like the austistic boy and his logic.

2nd day after the As are over and there seems to be nothing to do. so i popped over at hongwei's house, buying lunch to his place. chiong 5 episodes of bleach, which was very entertaining with ichigo chao act cool and the story getting interesting. then we went to suntec tower 3 to meet up with andy and zhiyang first for dinner at the kopitiam opposite eng wah cinema. dar, glenn and ralph joined us as we watched the 7pm harry potter show and i found it quite interesting, humourous yet puzzling. but it was a good movie simply because i didn't read the book. then we had an expensive supper at carl's jr but it was filling and delicious. my pocket's tearing away by the day as it eats into my savings. 1 month of enjoyment left but somehow i wished the A levels never did end as life during it was much more thrilling than it is now.

screwed

note: this is one of the rare times where i'll use vulgarities, onlookers who are thoroughly disgusted by such language can choose to look away now. thou shall not be liable for any shock or illness caused; please do not try these yourself.

it's all retribution. it first begin in the morning; the racist comments were heard all over, finished with combos of foul language. i could have injured myself in school, but i decided to respect public property and the attire i was wearing. but deep down underneath my breath, i was like "FUCK!" to the power of infinity, retaining a good image of the school.reached home only to come across the word "RAPE" written hugely on the papers, which so happens to describe my current predicament. fuck it all man, imagine the papers striping me naked and screwed me upside down. it must have been the result of all the bad deeds i've commited in my life combined with all the slacking the past year. yeah, i'll be honest with all of you. i didn't do shit for the A levels, just the flipping of the notes occasionally to meet the rise of the need of the situation. i deserved to be tortured physically and mentally, for i am just only a fucking loser.

guess i'll be retaking the A levels next year...
*contemplating to pon maths 's' paper*

mini olympics

it really feels like the As are over, or rather, it had never started... ... perhaps its just me slacking too much that it doesn't seem like a major exam is taking place. well, the week has been a slack one and we witnessed people jumping for joy to celebrate the start of their holidays. i would have jumped, but the people around me still had the exams, including me. it'll be ironic when the fmaths people shout only to hear the few echoes in the hall after our paper2 tomorrow afternoon. worse still will be the s paper students, but its cool to OWN the hall by a small bunch of people.

yesterday was a total celebration, as usual, as halim, kumar, daryl and i went to firdaus' house for lunch. the nasi briani was YUM! and so were the other cookies and delights. the greatness of a simple fare is indeed amazing, but that was only the beginning of the day. we took pics at fir's magnificent house, a definite jaw-dropper if you enter it =) slacked and played the guitar with dey, and ferrero roche was all over the place. wahahah! next up, i ran to meet up with jin and ryan, where we adjourned to suntec city convention hall 6 for WCG. OMG! it was rather crowded, and i saw 4k.Grubby in person!!!!!!!!!! wOOt! li xiaofeng aka SKYCN won frozen throne using humans, and his match was very entertaining. human mirror matchup, and lightning ward cheese. Gh3Y!!! there were CS, and many other games played, all of which were a marvel to watch. met up with Ho too, but left them to meet up with andy, ralph, zhiyang and glenn first for dinner. we were later joined by dar, xun and huangeng, and dined at long john silver at marina square. treated glenn as we celebrated his birthday, and chilling out with them was just splendid. we then went to asteroids, as inspired by WCG, and played CS. lol. i totally suck at it now since i haven't played for 3years++. oh well, left katong first with xun as we headed home on bus 10 reminiscing the past. heh

a good day it was, but my A levels isn't over yet. haha. well, woke up this morning to go to an annual buddhist funfair at alijunid. this year, unlike the other years, we had $300 in tickets to spend, but i was only given $50. oh well, i took the lead and went on a shopping spree for food! i almost patronised each stall lah, and bought lunch to eat there, and many snacks, cookies and dried food to bring back home. i felt rich, and it seemed like the money cannot be finished as i went round after rounds continuously. my parents obviously were at a loss with the remaining $250, so i took another $50 and squandered it away on random stuffs. people have retail therapy at shopping malls, but with burnt pockets whereas the frenzy i was indulging in didn't even hurt as we had free tickets given by friends who donated the money for charity but didn't go to the fair. i guess if life after the A levels is similar to what i'm enjoying now, i would enjoy it fuller with a lighter heart and have no papers lingering at the back of my mind. =) "yay! the papers are over already!" *to be said in 3 days time* gg

an exciting heavy week

whew! what a week it has been... during the exams, my mind was still distracted as i constantly thought about death. winter hurled itself against my bare chest as the frost shivers my hand on the first paper. yes, i did not bring my jacket, and i had to suffer. completed maths c paper 1 in 1 1/2 hrs, which was a terrible mistake. though checking, i still made alot of careless mistakes which screwed me up totally. my A was about to jump out of the window, until thursday came and maths c paper 2 saved me! thanks goodness for the less tricky paper, which will definitely pull my marks up and hopefully i can sustain one A grade. edwin and weiding have their As in the bag, good for them! =) chem paper 3 was a fair paper, only that they were lame to come up with a practical question for inorganic chem, which i left blank. gg! hopefully the remaining parts will make up for that questions' loss. well, the decider was on friday as gp came out ZERO philosophy questions. Fortunately, there was a maths related question, and fellow fmaths students joined me in the writing as we crapped our way through. lol. compre was rather a disaster but i hope i can manage a pass, and thus obtain an overall grade of b4.

enough of the A levels... well, went to buddhist library after maths c paper 1 on tuesday evening to pay my respects to mark the 7th day. it is the least i can do for you... went to zhiyang's house on wednesday after chem p3 and learnt the worldmap theme song for ff7. damn cool and nice to hear and easy to learn! watched him and his brother play frozen throne custom games such as pokemon world and pyramid escape. quite fun sia! wahahaha. on friday afternoon after gp papers, i went to tampines with zhiyang to meet up with darren and glenn, where we had a simple meal together to celebrate dar's birthday. it was cool lah, just chilling out at S-11 with them. later in the evening, my parents brought me to the Singapore Expo for the FOOD FEST!!!! OMG! its like a dream come true, there was food everywhere! local and foreign delights were abundant, and the smell mesmerized my senses. first up was duck meat and duck floss wrapped in roti prata, wOOt! this new delicacy gave my taste buds an experience it will not forget. Sales were everywhere and true to the nature of singaporeans, it was very crowded and the floor was very dirty too. haiz! paper plates and cups were strewn over the floor and people just walked past kicking it around like a football, except that there was no goalpost. also, there was a place selling some cooling herbal jelly for 10cents per cup, and the queue was like from tampines to pasir ris, how typical eh? disappointment apart, the food made up for everything as i sinned greatly. if i was rich, i would have like bought at least something from each stall man! oh well, i was satisfied with the many stuff my parents bought for our dinner. there were duck rice, shanghai noodles, buns, durian puffs, beancurd, coffee, chicken meat with some special sauce and then there were 1 spanish sausage and 1 giant chicken sausage; they were at least the length of your computer screen, i'm serious! haiz~ i think i will die in army at this rate, heh...

today was a very special day. alot of things have changed since i've last been there. i went to watch a movie at century square, omg! it has been like over 1 year ++ since i last stepped into a theatre, and the price was exhorbitant; pure daylight robbery. but it's alright, TOM YUM GOONG is TOTALLY AWESOME! lucky my brother dragged me to watch it, what a stunning movie! it motivates me to pick up muay thai after my brother, heheh! nvm, there'll be plenty of time after the A levels. don't worry kumar, i still wanna finish that 'no entry' show, i will BE POSITIVE! bwahahah! and then there'll be the chionging of bleach, yakitate and so much more. i think i'll transform into a madman after 22nd nov, stupid s paper. i hope i'll get a distinction, if not i'll slap myself. oh well, what a week this has been. the fluctuation is great, but i hope to refocus and get my life back to the straight part, taking away learning points that have come my way. jia you everyone! =)

passing on

this is an absolute wrong time but the fact that each body is impermanent remains. stuck is stuck but no longer himself. points of controvesy prevails for the 4 nights in which there was little sleep. to show the sign of respect was of utmost importance, but there were so many yet so little things to do. stuck faltered and may be condemned for life. but death is welcome, and life, i hope, will take its turning point. the mind didn't listen to the body as its clock is now distorted and would require the last day as a rest before readjusting for the As. entering the exams tattered and torn have already dealt a great blow, it leaves now to see the fortune of the four-leaver clover.

how it strikes me when the lid was closed and it was the last time seeing her. as we stood in the viewing gallery, tears did not flow but both the mental and physique suffered. let's move on... ...

i'm eternally indebted and grateful; may you be relieved of your sufferings as the transference of merits has been a 100% conversion.
i'm very sorry and may all beings be well and happy.

gone

to taggers: sorry guys, i was just trying to act spastic like how the author did, quite cool arh. twist the reverse psychology to one's benefit. sorry!

and so my theory is disproved. so i suck. quad erat demonstrandum. BIG FULLSTOP! i will seriously not be studying anymore, not acting zhuai and not giving up, but i just can't. the loser that i am right now presents itself hugely at my face, and it disgusts me. somebody inflict some physical pain into me, torture the hell that i deserve. this sucks, screw me! and the devil triumphs... ...

*currently stoic, and permanently not studying*

lights

the festival of lights proved to be a fun-packed day. wOOt! how does one whole day's variety of indian food sound? yummy-licious and extraordinary. totally cool stuff! uncle prasad's house was as usual, big and crowded. talked to vinnit with bro and played cards with them, its been like ages since i played 7, big 2 and bridge. bwahaha! fun lah... just play without thinking of studying, 7 days left but who cares. the fun was neverending, as my parents then fetched me from yishun to punggol. get to know more about kumar's religion, quite interesting lah. met up with sufi and wanling, then eat and chatted non stop. jammed awhile, and then watch indian movie "boney kapoor". wahaha! so typical and funny, but it provides decent entertainment. i went home with a satisfied but sinful tummy, bah! darn, why is the theory of interesting days increasing proportional to the time left to the A levels true? anyway, thanks ALOT dey! always lighting up the day, its not fair! wahahaha.
