Hello! I'm back again...

I'm bored, bored and bored.

There's absolutely nothing to do at home, just study and study and study and study and study.

So i came online. Not that i don't have to, I have that edulearn stupid nonsense to download and print or do whatever it is la.

So I just spent a few minutes blogging this.

I don't know what to blog about.

I'm thinking of re-writing the "things I'm gonna do after the exams" list, but Since i already write it, why don't you search my blog for it, shouldn't be far down, around 2 weeks ago...

yup, that's all I'm blogging.

It's stupid.

The E-revision so-called-holidays are totally not holidays at all.

yes, like those days just 3 weeks ago, this is the E-revision UN-holiday.

This stupid un-holiday is just an excuse to send all the teachers for a course. That's what my form teacher told us. I just don't understand why our new PM sets all these new rules like the stupid 5-day week thing. They just don't make sense. The students who love to go to school are quite the majority here, even if they don't like the lessons.

The PM's excuse is so that people can spend the time with their families. I don't think it has ever occured to him that the people will hang out with their own friends at these times, the teenagers with friends and adults with colleagues.

The people whom will actually spend time with their family are those who have been very close to their family since young.

People like me, who have been taught by their parents to ignore friends and going-out trips like shopping and whatnot, and who have been shown the world by their friends, will want to go out with friends during these weekends, only to be stopped by their parents.

These parents demand the student stay at home and do work. if they have no work, assessments will do fine. If they don't have assessments, any kind of work will do, as long as it's educational.

That's stupid. I mean, how can parents block out the fun in life from their own kids, thinking they themselves can provide the fun. What with oldies and admiring cars of the 1970s when there are hot lamborghinis somewhere out in the world. These parents themselves have never bothered to upgrade themselves, and they think that their oldies and whatever things that were new then, will live on.

And that's extremely stupid.

Right. Enough stupid stuff.


My life is basically going down the drain.

When i got my extremely lousy progress report back 3 weeks ago, my form teacher told me to accept whatever punishment i got. Out of respect for him, i did. I surrendered my handphone, I followed his timetable, I tried to do everything i could to make up for my stupid progress report.

But in the end, was he ok with it? NO.

My dad is sadistic, everything he does must make the person unhappy, and seeing people unhappy, he is happy.

I remember standing there in the morning listening to him rattle off all the punishments i was going to get. I remember not saying anything. He wanted me to rebel, as proof that i was unhappy with his stupid and unreasonable terms. So he made the terms more unreasonable. I still didn't say anything, so it went on and on, more n more unreasonable, until it was late and i had to be in school, then he stopped.

Sadistic.

I remember how I didn't feel surprised when I found out that my dad liked making faces at babies until they cried. It didn't surprise me much.

I realised since young what I should have done but never did. I should have made deals with him, with hidden meanings. Thats one of the only few ways of making sure u have free time. If not, die!

Unreasonablity is one of my dad's greatest abilities, apart from being able to sleep only 4 hours a night and being able to scold for long periods of time.

yeah thats about it for now.

Oh no.

5 days without physical contact with the outside world. It would kill me... Even the 2 days of weekend every week is torturous, then now they give us the stupid E-revision thing.

5 days?! I rather spend my time in school trying to figure out formulas and nonsense than stay at home doing nothing except work and work and more work... I won't be able to see any of my friends, only can chat...

Why is life like that? Face it, Singapore's education system is stupid. To the British and American and other country students, Exams and tests are merely a way of finding out how much the student has progressed. In Singapore, however, exams and test are either:

1. A mental challenge the student must overcome to prevent his/her parents outbursts of temperemental energy... OR

2. A sadistic way for teachers to punish the student by making him/her get low marks and get punished by the parents.

Reason number 2 is actually more for surprise test kind...

Oh then, there are report cards and progress reports. The comments that the teacher writes in them can affect the student's holidays totally...

The newspapers stated yesterday that from this year onwards, all the Report cards will not just state the academic crap, but will also contain the "other factors that affect the students' overall development"...

That's like, the best thing i ever heard about our education system.

Anyway, today was quite a happy day for me.

Think about it, do you think students like it when they are told on the day itself that they have a Physics remedial in the afternoon? correct answer? NO.

But somehow, I do. I suppose it's the longing to stay in school.

Eh, wait, no, it's actually the "not wanting to go home" thing... The only time i will ever like being at home is after the exams, but even then I will only go back when it is late already, or something like that. The only thing of worth there is the Computer and my bed.

Oh, today I had a Geography test. It was just MCQ so i figured that i could maybe get a pass... hahaha, then Zhixin was like, over enthusiastic to walk up to the sec 2 level. He made me follow him.

Not that i didn't want to go upstairs, of course... Hahahaa

Right, then when i walked past Flo's class first time they having chinese or some lesson that looked like chinese... The WHOLE class was staring at me can? hahaha, as if i'm so popular... I waved to Flo(why she looked so blur?), and walked on.

Actually those last 3 words were not neccessary, because obviously I would have walked on.

Then after Geog, the whole class walked the long way back to class, like we normally do after Geog. Then... THERE! the whole class staring at me again!

Oh man.... hahaha... yup, waved again, walked on again. haha, I can't bear the thought of not seeing her again for 5 days...

Like I said above, 2 days is already torture, and now 5 days?!?! Without my handphone?!?!

I'm dying of loneliness and boredom, help me please, someone...

Sunday, September 26, 2004

Right. There's school tomorrow and I'm so stupidly happy.

I like school. It's one of those unfathomable things that simply just happen. I like school for many reasons of my own, but even without them, I would still like going to school.

Not that i like school for the lessons. Well, ok, some of the lessons rock, for example, english, where everybody gets to slack in their groups.

Then, there's social studies, where EVERYBODY, and i really mean everybody, slacks.

And oh, happy coincidence, both the teachers are named Mr Tan.

Is it a coincidence or are all the Tans in the world very kind and such? I realised that all the Tans I have known are all very soft hearted and easy to push around. With the exception of Tan Lee Cheng of course.

ok, right, i wasted a lot of time typing that nonsense.

Today was quite ok i guess. Went for class, almost vomitted again, came back, had lunch, did work until 5, studied until 6. The usual Sunday.

But at 6 i went online and Flo was online. She was using her Sis' Laptop so i wasn't really used to it.

hahaha, and i think her sis doesn't like me, cos she scolded me when Flo was going offline.

hahaha, nevermind.


anyway, after that i just continued surfing the net for more and more recordings, but as usual, i couldn't find any. I played Westside story for my dad and he was enjoying it so much(it's his favourite musical of his time). He's been trying to find the VCD or DVD, anyone got?

Yup, than my mum say it's very 'chao', cos of the Mambo part at the end... Who cares, it's still very nice. hahaha

oh! midnite! HAPPY BIRTHDAY YIMEI!!

rite, sorr arh, no present. Grounded, see? haha, anyway i don't think anyone had time to go out to buy, so, too bad arh yimei, maybe after exams....

maybe only.... haha

okok, right.

tomorrow i think will be quite fun lah, considering the fact that i haven't had PE and other 'free' periods since the Monday before last. Because of the exams la.

U know, last time i used to like exam days because we could go home early. but nowadays, I don't like going home and sitting at the table whole day mugging for the next day's exam(s). I totally hate it.

But, what to do, I have to go through this nonsense. So i will tolerate that nonsense, then when the last stupid E Math paper is over.... HAHAHA! I will enjoy like siao. I will go out play with friends or do something la.

My mum says that I'm not to disturb my bro while he is preparing for his O's. I will do just that.

Anyway, i will be too absorbed into playing gunbound until i will just go more blind from radiation. And when I'm out I most certainly can't disturb him, unless I call, and thats a stupid thing to do, because I'm trying to save all my free messages or whatever whatnot.

I just can't wait for the stupid exams to end. If I'm lucky, I will get back my phone on the last day of the exams! That's one of the best things that can happen to me anytime nowadays. I hope it happens.... I miss my phone and everything in it...

haha. right, better go sleep now, or I'll fall asleep during PE tomorrow. Just imagine a group playinig handball with one of the players lying down on the field sleeping while everybody else is running about like mad idiots.

Right. Something funny happened to me today. I felt like there was a pull in me, some urge to go to school, right at that few hours in the afternoon. Can anyone explain it?

Unexplainable things:

1. It has been proven that the sales of a grocery goes up 20% when water music is being played in the shop.

2. Why in the world is the French Fry and the French loaf made in england?

3. Study = No Fail----1
No Study= Fail-----2
hence, 1+2...

Study + No study = Fail + No Fail
factorise...

Study(1 + No) = Fail(1 + No)
cancel (1 + No)...

Hence, Study = Fail

so why study?!?!?

right. I will add more when i get them in the head.

Suddenly i became very famous yesterday.

It's all diyana's fault, den because of her the whole 2/3 knows me liao... hahaha

Okok, actually i'm not particularly angry at diyana or something, seeing that she's a perc member, but... How can she do this?!?!?!?

haha, nvm....

Anyway, today was quite a boring day. i went to the Tampines clinic to get my stupidly-made-unflexible-by-billy-hand....

I waited one and a half stupid hours can? stupid. And there wasn't even a hairline crack anywhere. Not that I wanted one of course. hahaha, but the doctor gaveme more medicine than a person who got flu. Stupid.

But there was something good about going to the clinic. I got my phone back for a few hours!

hahaha, I missed my phone so much, together with all the smsing...

Oh and there were so many temasekians at the Interchange. Is it the CIP? or something else? Because Flo told me she going CIP at Tapines. Right, i suppose it muz be.

yeah, anyway, that was it for my morning. came back eat lunch, surrendered my phone again, bathed, and had to do work again...

Chemistry first, then dad started me on math. den at 6 i break liao.

so here i am typing blog.

Oh, i remember the conversation with Flo last night. we were talking about someone she says she finds irritating.

Honestly arh, he doesn't look like the irritating type, but then again, because i don't know him well, I can't tell...

Anyway, I'm just too bored to do anything else already. I anyone reading this post to check out my bro's blog(under BRYAN in my links) or update their own blogs.

Please la, just update, i need some life stories to enrich my own stupid one.

yup, thats about it for this update.

Friday, September 24, 2004

I have decided to take off the song from my blog. It has become quite irritating. hahaha

|
I have 15 mins only so i'll make it short...

Flo got blog. I'm like, the latest to know....


hahaha, rite, so, today was supposed to be another day with remedial. the remedial was quite boring, but Joel and me were lucky... I'll talk about that later...

First, Chinese lesson. nothing much to talk about. he just gave us the same every-year-give hanyu pinyin worksheet thing...

haha, den after that during E maths and A math I was totally trying to figure out what makes Math seem so nice to some people. actually i see no sense in learning chemistry when i dun want to take up a job in a lab next time.

I mean, nobody on the street who has gone through secondary school and who holds an office job starts shouting his mouth out on what chemicals he had consumed through the coffee during his lunch break, or tell us that his office chair moved at whatnot accelleration when he stood up, what forces were acting on in and whatever.

Or maybe a carpenter who did bio during his school days will tell people how much nutrients he took in during breakfast, how many Kilojoules he lost when he squatted down to tighten the screws of a chair. maybe he did calculate the gradient of a graph which showed his blood pressure when his hamstrings contracted and the blood vessels got narrower.

here's a scenario. Imagine two sec schoolers arguing over who is right.

By 1: I am right u bloody fool.

Boy2: Don't talk like that! u just increased my bloody blood pressure by 12heartbeats per scond!

Boy1: Like i care?! u calculate the force I'm going to implement on you, and u will know how strong i am!

Boy2: you're are pathetic! I will swing the classroom door with enough moment to knock u down!!

"boy 3 intercepts"

Boy 3: stop it the both of you! Mr Mubarak is walking with a speed of 8 metre's per second arh! he has heard of this argument and he is going to kill the both of you with a knife in the heart driving at an acceleration of 50 metres per square second! U 2 better stop!!

CUT!!!!

right. so, do even the teachers talk like that? The subjects we're bring tested on has totally no point of impact on our Lives after we graduate.

think about it. adults have almost totally forgotten basic chemistry or physics.

give your parents a question like, "what is the proton number of helium?"

I tell you, unless they are chemist or work in a lab, they will certainly not know the answer...

right, okok i talk too much liao...

Thursday, September 23, 2004

Finally. I have time to blog again...

It's been a long time since i touched the Percussion things in the Band room, and it makes me wonder if i've lost my touch.

no, not the sense of touch. the touch as in abilty kind of touch.

haha, ok, rite...

i have totally nothing to write about so i will end here...

Monday, September 20, 2004

Right, here i am again blogging, even when the stupid exams are coming.

I am certainly not going to talk about today's EL and CL papers. they were horrible.

Today almost everybody had the same change in expression before the exams and after. It was like a United-as-a-school thing. before the exams everybody was carefree, trying to hide their anxiousness while telling others they think it would be a breeze.

Nonsense.

They were all hiding their stupid feelings.

Rite, I am now so stupidly bored at home. there is simply nothing to do apart from studying or doing my dad's physics CD. So here i am using the allocated 15 min break to blog.

rite. I am so going to abhor from using the words Bloody and Damn on my blog. I'll use the word Stupid instead.

rite. u know that today is totally stupid? in fact, all the days nowadays are stupid. i either come back and study work and sleep, or i come back and work and study and sleep. whatever the case, sleep is always at the end. and that is not my choice.

this is a list of what I'am going to do as soon as the last paper is over.

1: buy Flo's Birthday present.(it'll be very belated by then)
2. Download Gunbound
3. join Joel and the rest at Zion(maybe i'll have other plans, so... dunno)
4. laugh at my brother that he still has O'level and that my exams are over.
5. same as above, but to the seniors.
6. play gunbound
7. download more music
8. go back to the band room and regain my lost embrochure(eh wait, i dun need one... well, u know what i mean la)
9. practice every single song until as perfect as i can get it.
10. hold sectionals as often as i can(sorry guys).


yup, thats about it. 15 mins over.

Sunday, September 19, 2004

Hahaha...

It's a sunday again. That means school tomorrow! Thats like the best thing to happen to a grounded person. hahaha.

Listening to "selections from the merry widow" now. It seems quite fun to pretend to conduct the time changes, ritards, accelerandos and all that. Very fun, in fact...

okok. It's sunday, like i said above. Let's see, thats a good thing because got school tomorrow, but tomorrow got Exam! den after that go home early! aaaarrrrgh!!!!

okok, mantain... I love school. Its my second home. well, it used to be, until that horrible day, where everything in school that i loved or adored was taken away to another place. Florence was admitted to hospital during that week, there was no more CCA for me, and my teachers were seeing my parents.

School sucks. at that point of time. but now, it's ok already cos everything ok liao, only thing is that band stand down.

actually rite, i see no difference if they say band stand down or sit down, because it is still down.

okok nvm. Nowadays like nobody update their blogs le... y arh? isit the exams?

yah must be... haha. i didn't go for class today because tml is Compo papers for EL and CL, den i cannot risk anymore injury to my already splintered thumb bone. hahaha

yes, that injury was caused by Billy while we were playing Handball during PE. And that reminds me, tml no PE liao because of the Exams. Haiz....

rite, i have totally no idea wad to rite liao....

|

Friday, September 17, 2004

Right.

I've been grounded till my good results show again. Then again, my results have never been really good, just moderately, and last term's was the horrible-est...

A few good things:
1. Flo's back, that's like the nicest thing to happen in these days.
2. I can concentrate on my studies for the finals.

That's about all for the good things.

(quite alot) bad things:

1. I'm grounded. Like, can it be good?
2. My phone's grounded too. I mean in the sense of being confiscated, not the grounded-to-powder-type of grounded.
3. Without my phone it's like the whole world is lost because all my contacts' numbers are there(even though i have a few important numbers written down and a few in the head).
4. I must go back as soon as possible, whenever possible.

yup, no more excitement for me, it's the dull period now.

And it'll most likely be stretched till after the exams end.

erhem.... ... ....

See?? i got nothing to write about liao. bye.

Sunday, September 12, 2004

Oh no....

"florence is admitted to hospital.." and "I think changi, not sure. think she kena dengue fever."

dammit. I just can't bear the thought of her suffering in hospital while I'm here living my harmless life. Flo, get well ok?

Right, now I'm worried to death man... only this morning we were chatting fine....

haiz...

...

...

okok, let's talk about today...

today nothing much happened, I went for class as normal, with my bro... he wasn't supposed to go because got Pre-lim tomorrow... but he still went. cutting the long story short, the both of us drank too much during the break den after class we both vomitted.

thank goodness it wasn't our home toilet...

yup, the both of us were damn tired, and still he had the energy to follow me to the esplanade library, my parents taking us there... I managed to photocopy the Brazillian Street Dance for tomorrow.

the rest of the afternoon i spent sleeping... so nothing much i can say here, except that i sent Flo an sms at around 2... she didn't reply.

I should have guess then, that something had happened... but I was too tired... mistake...

arh, yah aniwae, i talk quite alot liao la...

|

Wednesday, September 08, 2004

Ok. It's 8.20 in the morning and both my parents have gone to work, leaving me and my brother at home. My bro is still sleepin, cos the past few days he hasn'tbeen sleeping early.

Anyway, i just blog now because there's nothing else to do.

Finally, it's Wednesday. They are coming back from camp today, with experiences of having all the fun and stuff.... And thinking about the camp makes me think of Flo being sick at home, how she was so "really really sick" until cannot reply SMS....

okok, let's see. What happened yesterday is on the previous entry, What happened on monday is on the previous 2 entries, and i cannot predict whats going to happen today.

Right, so I shall just muse about life stuff and the future things....

ok, firstly, I am now quite hooked again on Space Fiction books, something i lost for quite awhile since entering sec school. I read and re-read the Hork-bajir chronicles and the Andalite chronicles. I think some of those reading my blog will have no freakin idea what in the world they are. these storybooks are good ones, but they're still fiction, so no use getting stupid ideas of aliens in my head.

I read these 2 already, and I'm soo going to find The Ellimmist Chronicles. Even though the book seems to be running all over the singapore libraries, i still have trouble finding it.

Right, so u guys now know what to get me for my birthday next year. hahaha, actually just joking, if everybody bought me one of this book, i would have so many copies. So nevermind. I'll get the Book myself. And somehow i get the feeliing that it is not selling in singapore.

okok, i got nothing else to blog about anymore. jsut a few words to some people...

To Flo: Get well soon ok? I can't bear the thought of you being sick while others like me are walking around healthy laughing and joking, so, Take care and get well soon! And i mean really soon...

To Yimei: eh, just update regularly la....

To Xingwen: U ALSO AR! UPDATE LA! And try to learn to bear lameness.

To Zat: When is the estimated date when u finish NS?

To Benjamin: You should get tired more often.

To Ansley: 2 days after your birthday and you're already sad, just cheer up la.

To Jia lin: Next time watch where you're stepping, especially if it's grass.

To (him): Just go die ok? I can't stand u all the time, just shuddup and go away, keep your bloody comments to yourself...

ok, enuff said.

Tuesday, September 07, 2004

Right, today was the most exciting day of the week for me, this being a holiday week.

There was band today. and it was clean up day, meaning there was no band practice, but instead we have the packing of our freakingly stupid storeroom. not that the percussion section uses it...

The Storeroom was restored to it's prim and proper state by Mr Glosz. Admittedly, i didn't help much... But hey, at least i helped to carry some stuff and clean some things.... yeah, that was exciting, for me at least.

anyway, after band the whole lot of us stayed back to watch Yi Mei and Jialin chopping the original scores with the "original" chop. yep, that was quite fun too...

after that we went to starbucks, again... haha, me and Xingwen wanted to go to macs but after that he didn't want to anymore. so i went by myself. saw Pinyi there with her bf and another couple. bought my food and walked back. was so excited that i was out of house.

aniwae, the rest of the time was quite paiseh for Jialin la, so i won't say out here... I left for Pasir Ris library some time later. alone. yeah but it was still exciting see.

den i got home. right so the exciting chapter in the Un-holiday week is finished.

Flo is sick. She's "really really sick", according to the person hu SMSed me using her phone. And I'm really worried about her.

I feel so torn apart now. So many responsibilites, so many duties, so many things to ponder over. My primary school teacher once told me that i think too much of things not concerning me. she was wrong. I actually think too much about things concerning me that i don't have time to take on new things unless i make time by shifting the other matters out.

let's see. firstly, right now i'm worried about Flo, then I'm worried about the Brazillian Street Dance scores still in the Esplanade library. Then I'm also thinking about how lame i was at starbucks 5 hours ago. forgive me Xing Wen. Then, i'm wishing for the idiotic Un-holidays to come to an end. then i'm trying to recall when Zat is going back to tekong. then, about the percussion instruments that i ordered since the beginning of time, and about the time when my dad is coming to scold me for hogging the com, about how i'm waiting for the end of the exams to come, about how Flo's fever might be running freakin high...

CHOY!!! AHHH! TOUCHWOOD.... hope nothing bad happens to her....

aniwae, i beg those at starbucks today who found me irritating and over-excited to forgive me... i was purely over-excited at the feel of being outside with friends. without the pressure of work... ok? forgive me...

And to Flo: Get well soon! Hope your fever will go down quickly!!

Yup, thats all for now.

|

Monday, September 06, 2004

Damn...

The WHOLE LOT of them are in camp, the others are either going to see plays or going out to celebrate friend's birthdays or wadeva.
And me??

I'm stuck in my forsaken house. It IS forsaken(no reference to Maryanne), cos:

1. My dad couldn't wait to go to the dentist, he's not here now.
2. My mum was rushing for work when it was still early.
3. My brother could come home after his Project marking but he choose to have lunch out.
4. My sis sounds so freaking happy when she was talking to us last night.

so the whole family's out, except me. And I'm not supposed to be here. I'm supposed to be upstairs working on the silly maths paper Miss Leong gave us, when my dad asked me to "try-out" the same paper 2 weeks ago. I only managed to sneak some time here because, like i said above, my dad's at the dentist.

I want to go out. that's my statement for the holiday week.... Eh wait, no. It should be Un-holiday week. Whats the point in putting the definition of "Holiday" as: (holy-day), a day of holiness where under certain laws it is a day of rest from work..

Right.

The international court should create a new law book specifically for Singapore.

The first law would be:

Holidays are days given to students to study extra hard for the upcoming exams.

Excuse me?? That law will only become real if my dad was the Prime minister. So, since he isn't, I strongly recommend he read the dictionary properly.

Anyway, being at home is extremely boring. I have to go to the library to borrow a sherlock holmes book for my english review. And I have 3 maths papers to do. And my Mum's assesment books(actually they are not her's, they are the 10-years series books that the teachers asked us to buy). And to top it all, I still have maths tuition from 10pm to midnight every night.

so how? the only relief comes from the first piece of homework. I HAVE TO GO TO THE LIBRARY to borrow a sherlock holmes book for my english review.

Now, isn't that the best thing that could happen to me throughout the whole week...

yes it is. Apart from band practice on tuesday, which is happening on a N'level day, that is practically the most exciting thing happening in my boring life.

let see. there are so little things in my life which can spice it.

1. Band
2. Chatting with people online
3. Sleeping
4. Chatting by SMS
5. Listening to music
6. Daydreaming of the promised better life after the exams
7. doing homework

yes, doing homework has become one of them. yes, i'm that desperate for excitement in life.
let's see... Band is only on Tuesday. Chatting with people online and listening to music involves using the com, which I'm almost hardly using.

Sleeping at some times are considered illegal by my parents. The Better life after the exams was promised by my mum. so my dad is totally not into that idea. I only chat with Florence everyday, and now she's in camp, and she didn't bring her phone... so chatting by SMS is hardly exciting during the first 3 days of the Un-Holidays. so I'm left with Doing homework for the majority of the day.

Right.

There are a few more good things which can happen. And i mean CAN HAPPEN. Meaning they might not...

1. Yi Mei will have time to update her blog with long entries.
2. I can have some time to count the days left to the end of exams.
3. I can wake up late in the mornings.
4. I can sleep late at night.

okok, the last one obviously WILL happen, since my dad gives me and my bro tuition everynight.

Talking about my brother, he's becoming more like my dad. meaning he can sleep short hours.

he slept at 4am on sunday. and he slept at 6 this morning. my mum woke him up at 7.30 to go to school to have his project, the one he was mugging for, marked. imagine sleeping 1-and-a-half hours only...

anyway, i think i better stop here. i talk too much already... I'm just thinking of how I'm going to miss chatting by SMS with people for the next 3 days...

bloody fish.

okok, before i start anything here, i want to wish ZAT, WELCOME BACK!!!

hahaha, ok back to crappy life.

i think those who read this post should read the previous entry first, so that you understand what nonsense i'm talking about.

firstly, it has not gone into my parents mind, that i really really want to join NAFA. Right. And when i asked my mum why they "do not let me make my own bloody life decisions", she said it was because all the decisions i've made so far are wrong.

hey, she damn bloody wrong ok. I'm not wrong for choosing band over air rifle. It made me realise that i have my own life to live. My mum's just wanting to keep having control over me. she says it's a bloody waste to throw away 4 CCA(yes that was how much) points for something which will not give back as much.

actually, band has given me much more in my first 3 months there than how much i was given in my whole 1-3/4 years there...

too bad for my mum, and my dad. when i get the bloody "choice of JC/Poly/ITE" paper, i'm going to write NAFA down as my first choice, without consulting them. That piece of paper is my future, and i'm not going to let them destroy it by making go for a course which i will deliberately fail.

ok, thats the short message i just want to send out. for those who cannot make sense out of this, read the previous entry.

Shucks, my life's in shambles...

Only 6 days ago, when Lela called us to stay back for a meeting, i was only told about it when we were about to go home, so the lunch my mum bought for me, waiting at home, was useless... we wanted to go for lunch then, but no more time liao, so we just wait until 1...

right, so, fast-foward to 3 hours later. we just finish, den i called my dad to pick me up. My brother answered the phone(duh! my dad's too lazy to do it), and through him, my dad asked me to come home myself...

right after i hung up, i saw Yimei they all walking to go eat lunch, den i remembered i had not eaten. right, so i chased after them la, then we went to eat lunch... right after that, we wanted to go Xing Wen's house to watch the Journey VCD, but oh, unhappy coincidence, my brother called and ask me why i take so long to come home myself... i told him i go eat lunch, but he say he tot i eat lunch at 12?

the situation was so hard to explain, so i decided to go home... Or rather, my dad decided for me to go home... yup, so i went home, tried to explain to the unreasonable person, but to no avail(wad did i call him?)... the whole lot of them didn't believe that Secondary school meetings can last 3 hours, even when their meetings last a whole shitting day...

that's just one experience.

ok, so fast-foward a few days to tuesday. Be yourself day. Retro, whatever u wish to call it. the only happy thing that happened was the around the concert that time... yup, after that, the commitee went for a meeting held at Mr Glosz's house... right, so there we went... the meeting was for 3 hours again... so naturally my parents would not believe it actually happened... we went starbucks first, and everything there was so expensive until i dowan to eat, so i just bought a cocoa(ansley isit spelt like that?)... it was so freaking expensive...

rite, so after the meeting, they wanted to go to parkway. i called my bro and asked whether my dinner has been cooked and the answer was yes, so obviously i have to go home... hahaha... right, so i walked to the bus stop, picking up my long awaited lunch from mac's on the way...

when i reach home, my dad started shouting at me. the first time we see each other since the morning when i left the car on my way to school, and he's already shouting. he's asked where the hell i had been, and i said meeting, then from there everything was a repeat of saturday's experience, except that he said he was going to my school on thursday to talk to Lela. right, he doesn't really understand the consequences of taking me out of the band... if he really dares to see what will happen, too bad for him. i'm not talking about whether the band will fail. in fact, i'm sure they will prosper without me. look what happened to the air rifle club.

it's the rebelling i'm talking about...

aniwae, yup, then during dinner yimei called and asked about the happenings la, haha right, i honestly don't know what to do...

ok, thats tuesday for u.

wednesday. teacher's day. school holiday. jialin's birthday. the netball team's bbq, whichever.

a school holiday! GO OUT CELEBRATE UR FRIENDS BIRTHDAY!!! that's what other parents might tell their kids, but not mine. okok, my mum let me, but she only came back from work at 6 in the evening, so only my dad was at home, and naturally, he didn't let me...

i just asked, as politely as i could:"daddy, can go out onot?"
Then the horror began.
"what the... I ALREADY TOLD U LA, TEACHER'S DAY IS A HOLIDAY. HOLIDAYS ARE GIVEN TO STUDENTS SO THAT THEY CAN STUDY MORE FOR EXAMS!"

thats what my dad said.

ok, so, fine, i called jialin and said sorry i cannot go, she asked why, and i only needed to say "same old thing", and she understood...

so the afternoon was spent doing our wonderful Temasek Secondary School final year examination paper "Additional Mathematics".

while i was doing it, i thought of Ansley and Jialin enjoying themselves, of YiMei and XingWen playing in the wonderful playground, of Florence enjoying herself at the netball bbq at east coast park, and i nearly cried...

what kind of freaking idiotic kid stays all cooped up at home during a holiday... the actual answer is me in primary school, and me on teacher's day.

It's my dad who, after seeing me change my introverted style with the help of the wonderful people from the band, force me to change back...

staying at home was not a very painful experience either. i got to hog the phone for half an hour. that's something i've never done before in my whole life. but when you're trapped from the outside world, sometimes never-done-before things do happen...

My life's changed. My parents have not.

I've grown extroverted. My parents remain old-fashioned.

I've grown too big for my parents small grasp. They choose to stuff me in their grasp instead of widening it.

I need to make my own life decisions. They want to choose everything.

i have friends who's fathers call them to talk about the new game shop in town. My parents call me to ask me if i'm doing work or talking on the phone.

My friends use CDs with titles like Warcraft 3, Counter-strike etc. The only CDs i'm allowed to use is "Physics a course for O'level" vol 1-4.

My friends have been downloading the latest online games since sec 1. The only game i ever get online are the ones on MSN messenger.

My friends get asked to get off the com after playing online games for 3 hours. I get scolded for reading mail and chatting for half-an-hour.

My friends don't like school and love going home. I love school and i don't like going home.

My friends love their home bcos of their bed and the com. My bed and the com are the only things worthy at my home.

My friends' parents do not complain about their watchng TV for 2 hours everyday. I get scolded when i try to watch an hour of smallville every week.(this happened last time, when smallville was on)

My friends sit down at their tables and naturally get the mood to study. I sit down at the table and is sickened by my parents constant reminders to do work, until i never get the mood.

My friends are left alone when they are using the com. My parents want to know who i'm chatting with.

My friends' parents know that my friends are playing online games, and they do not mind. My parents assume i'm chatting and they scold like i've committed a serious crime.

Some of my friends' leave band as fast as they can, because they want to go home. I don't have to keep any instrument, and i leave as one of the last because i don't want to go back.

My friends go home because they want to. I go home because i have to.

My friends go out because of a celebration. I'ld tag along for any event because i don't want to stay at home.

My friends' parents ask them to sleep early when they return from a night outing with friends. My parents ask me to bathe faster and get ready for math tuition, after a band performance.




ok. i think that should be quite long for everybody to read it when they have nothing better to read online. Please leave a comment about whether u think I'm right or whether u think I'm just a gibbering moron who doesn't face reality.

haha.... right, i shouldn't be laughing. but i am... right...

honestly, i don't know what's happening to me and my friends. we're going through this funny stage of different moods, all in one day...

take yesterday, teacher's day celebration, for example. The Breakfast with teachers thing was quite a failure, cos only 3 teachers came: Mr Tan, duh, he's our form teacher. Mr Mubarak, and Miss Leong.

Right, so the sec 2 classes above us were damn freaking noisy. Me and Chuan Li went up to talk to some of them and we ended up eating their food...

eh no, correction, HE ended up eating their food, because that was his sole purpose for going to school tat day...

aniwae, yah, during the Concert my class joined the lower sec classes. It was kenneth who chose that arrangement, and not many were happy about it. I was happy with that arrangement, so who gives a damn about the others.... hahaha, okok, so we went to the hall, and the whole class split up. I myself went to sit with 2/3, and some others went of in search of lower sec people to bully... the rest who were there just to watch the concert dumped themselves at the side of the hall, like a pile of rubbish...

Oh yah, and before the concert Flo and me took a photo together... i just got it from Jiemin...

hahaha, okok, i going hysterical liao... mantain, mantain...

hahaha, ok, think of the future, thursday, got elias park thing, can skip lesson after 11. then on friday, can skip first 3 lesson bcos of east view primary showcase...

hahaha. haha. haha....

i keep saying alot of these... partly is because i'm trying to distract myself from the sadness i'm trying to suppress.
the other reason is that i'm really quite happy because of a lot of things. I get to skip class on thursday and friday... and there are so many reasons out there to be happy. but i shall not disclose them here.

Oh yes, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JIALIN... i wanted to go out with them to celebrate but my dad didn't let me... and "didn't let me" is being a hell lot too lenient on the actual scenario...

Right, so i spent the whole afternoon doing the bloody math paper of temasek 2003, and learning things i'm not suppose to learn till next year...

On a much happier scale, there is school tomorrow, AND the band room will be open, sumting that hasn't happened on any tuesday since Zat left.

That's good enuff for me, considering what i've gone through in the past 36 hours.
