Many many screams just rocked my room awhile ago. Ashamed to say that one of them belonged to my sister -.-Singapore Idol got winner liao..
HADY MIRZA.. Woohoo...
Frankly, I don't really care.
Singapore Idol is rather crappy.
Ah what the heck..
Guess the school really plans on torturing us by not returning our results. Or maybe they just want to prolong our due deaths.. I can understand the other subjects. But English? That was like, one month ago? Even if you were marking the whole level, it wouldn't take so long right? So much for the marker being a six-pointer..
[Bridged] many many.. What else to do?

Wee.. Prelims are over! I know it doesn't really matter much as O's are coming soon after and my results won't be all that "fantastic" but hey, it does make a difference in relieving a teeny weeny bit of stress. That is, until I get my results tomorrow..After my last paper on Thursday, a bunch of us went down over to EJ's to hang out abit. We played a few games of DotA and a got owned flat. I mean, in both games I only got what, 2 kills?! That's pathetic man.. Really got to train somemore. Hahaz..
We stayed till 8 then went out to have dinner. Took us almost 30min just to decide where to eat. (Really like women.. =P ) We then decided to eat at the airport. Before you start calling us crazy, just want to say that we were already at pasir ris where EJ's house was so we might as well.
So imagine this, 2 people in school uniforms, 1 in half school uniform and another in home clothes walking around in the airport at 9pm. Hahaz.. Each of us had to rush home after dinner so we rushed dinner abit then set of once again.
I had always loved taking the MRT at the airport. Especially when it's at night and pretty much deserted.
Here's Darren taking up every available space. You can assume that I was doing that too =P
Something like this XD
We were seated at the last carriage and it really felt good to have it all to ourselves..
Finally reached home and caught up on sleep. zzz...
Friday came. Pretty much just vegetated in front of the com watching [One Piece]. The bleach filler is so darn boring can.. Just wish they'd end it quickly..
Saturday came. Had an interesting lesson at YP where we talked about the topic of spiritual warfare. Woohoo.. To be honest, when I hear the word "war", I can't help but think of this:
However, Ephesians 6:12 says: For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness in this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. But hey, one can imagine right? =P
Sunday came. (That's today -.- ) Had a workshop session on [conflict management]. Much of the time was spent laughing around at Matthias' spastic-ity and poor Nathanael being bullied.
He did this to himself though. So we're innocent XD
Going over to Sherman's now. So not looking forward to tomorrow..
Brave warrior of God..

A puro dolor - Son by FourSorry didn't mean to call you but I couldn't fight it
I guess I was weak, couldn't even hide it
And so I surrendered, just to hear your voice.
Don't know how many times I said I'm gonna live without you
And maybe someone else is standing there beside you
But there's something, baby you need to know.
That deep inside me, I feel like I'm dying.
I have to see you, it's all that i'm asking.
Vida, give me back my fantasy; the courage that I need to live;
The air that i breathe.
Cari?o mio, my world's become so empty. The days are so cold and lonely
And each night I taste the purest of pain.
Quisiera decirte que hoy estoy de maravilla
Que no me ha afectado lo de tu partida
Pero con un dedo no se tapa el sol.
Estoy muriendo, muriendo por verte.
Agonizando, muy lento y muy fuerte.
Vida, devuelveme mis fantasias; mis ganas de vivir la vida;
devuelveme el aire.
Cari?o mio, sin tin yo me siento vacio,
las tardes son un laberinto, las noches
Me saben, a puro dolor.
Vida, give me back my fantasy; the courage that I need to live;
The air that i breathe.
Cari?o mio, my world's become so empty. The days are so cold and lonely
And each night I taste the purest of pain.
Sorry didn't mean to call you but I couldn't fight it
I guess I was weak, couldn't even hide it
And so I surrendered, just to hear your voice.
Couldn't find this particular version that's nicely mixed with english and spanish so I got either all english and all spanish.
Call me addicted; I don't care. And I'm not in my emo state either. This is a really nice song full of emotion.
Really don't have much to talk about today. Even the purpose behind updating is out of boredom. The drive for studying is very weak today.
..And so I surrendered, just to hear your voice..

School is problematic. It resembles workers labouring on a hot, sweaty day as though without a purpose. Church, on the other hand, is a place of peace and complete happiness with fellow brothers and sisters-in-Christ. That is the picture I had established in my mind since young.However, that picture had started to change gradually over the last couple of years. Yet I had been blind to see it until recently. Was it intentional? The answer might just be too obvious and cutting to the heart. If not for some recent events and a fellow brother, I might just have carried on in intentional ignorance to what is happening.
The last YP lesson we had was on [Reaching out to others]. With Uncle AhBeng overseas, William at Depot Walk and YJ in the land of dunno-where, it was up to JinLong to lead in the lesson. Things started to get out of hand as we started to form little conversations among ourselves and people (NO NAMES!) started to say and do things that would not usually be said or done in a bible study lesson. As the cruel remarks start to surface, I was wondering at the back of my mind:
What must God be thinking now? How does He feel?
A question was then posed by a by-now-fuming-inside-but-not-showing-it JinLong: Are you leading lives that are different from in church?
Even I find myself answering a feeble yes. As I see many others around me giving the same answer, I see how God must have been feeling at that point and understood why it rained on Saturday.
How are we supposed to go out and share the good news of salvation, when our lives show that we are like everyone else?
A brother told me recently about how situations were getting worse, actually reaching the point of cruelty. Jokes and remarks being made without regard for a person's feelings. Is that how God really meant for us to live?
Each time it rains, think about it..

Chemistry really isn't my thing.Seriously man. I've been failing my almost all my past exams on chemistry and I just can't seem to absorbed anything. If the signs weren't enough, this has to be it. Here goes..
Chemistry Practical today was kinda whacked. Started quite ok with titration, until I came to the calculations part. I can safely say that I am NOT going to get any Points for that part? Reason for my confidence? I practically left it blank. I doubt I'll get any marks for crap working anyway. Then came identifying chemicals. Started to panic a little as time was not on my side and it just so happens that I was in a little rush. So happens I didn't clear my burette, which happens to be on within arms reach.
Hand connects with burette. Momentum carries over the table's edge and sends it crashing to the floor.. ARGH..
The burette lah.. not my hand. =P
So yea. That just rocks. Got a small cut on my hand too. Must have got cut by a small piece of glass. So clumsy.
Spilling chemicals here and there afterward, I must have been the worse exam candidate in the history of St Andrew's School. Bet the teachers were pretty much pissed of with me. -.-
After that, EJ and I went down to the BiG megastore at Harboufront Centre. News got around that they were having huge promotions on electronic products so we decided to go check it out.
Stopped by at Little India to have lunch at a thosai "restaurant". Food there was really good. What's more? Water is freeeeeeeeeeeeeee..
We saw many many things there. However, the expensive stuff were still too money-burning even after the discounts. This caught my eye:
Really was a beauty. But it was really ex lah.. almost $300! Sorry drey..
Went to look at the thumbdrives which I heard were going at $15 for a 512MB! AHhh.. 15 bucks leh.. Too bad it was sold out. EJ couldn't find the 4GB [ProDuo] memory stick he wanted. Guess it was sort of a wasted trip.
Went home and pretty much stoned after that. Listening to some HSM songs now. Can't get enough of them=P

I'm into the third day of exams starting with a really tiring Chinese paper 2. It's only my fault that I have to retake chinese for O levels. Not complaining.After chinese, rushed down to Aaron's house. Actually wanted to catch a nap over there. Would be a nice place to sleep there lah: air-con, big bed.. Then I remembered I brought a DVD in my bag so we popped it in the com and started watching. Only got to watch halfway before we had to go back to school for the Emaths paper 1. Yet another brain-juice draining paper. Managed, by some miracle, to finish the paper with half an hour to spare so I caught that nap I needed earlier on.
Strangely, I'm not as worried as I thought I would. You can say for sure that God has been beside me taking the exam with me. I stand by what Uncle AhBeng said in the last YP:
You don't have to be anxious about your exams. It has passed through God's Hands before it came to yours.
Ok, Maybe that's not exactly what he said but the essence is there. All I know is that God has already seen my results and I will rejoice in whatever I get.
Yes! Finally watched the High School Musical. It was just soooo AWESOME!! The songs and dances were simply.. cool.. All of them sure are talented.
This has got to be my favourite scene of the show. Gabriella sure sings real good. Can't exactly say the same for Troy though. I think Ryan sings better=P But hey, that's just my 2cents piece.
I'd be lying if I said I'd completely forgotten about us. There are times when I'd reminisce the times we had. Do you still remember? The more I think, the more I know that this is best. Guess I confused my feelings with the truth..
..When there was me and you..

As school starts again this term, will I change my attitude and just spam all my energy on studying? Or will I just be another one hoping to draw water from a dry well? Sometimes it really is so tiring. My easily-tired syndrome is still acting strongly in me. How I wish I could activate the [-wtf] mode: No mana cost, no cooldown time. (It's DotA, people..)Somehow, this day didn't really start right: The bus came 10min later than usual(Had to squeeze quite abit) , I'm running low on pocket money(You'll have to ask me yourself on that one if you really are interested) , etc.. But the worse one had to be this:
I studied hard for chemistry in the past week.
Ok. Maybe not that hard. But harder than usual, that's for sure. The bad thing is that it's a physics paper today.
I didn't do much for physics.
Dumb right? I actually lost my prelim timetable about 2 weeks ago but it kept slipping my mind. Must be due to all the [One Piece] episodes I keep watching =P
Due to this unnecessary and uber-retarded mistake, I practically screwed up my physics paper2. I think I have get like full marks in paper1 to pass or something. Guess my earlier poem was right.
This is when we went to PastaMania on Saturday for a lunch outing. As you can see, I'm just so patriotic towards my school. Even wearing it outside huh? =P I actually went to school first for chemistry remedial(chemistry again huh?) There're other pics that I'm too lazy too upload. Just saying that these pictures are really one of the major things that keep me going. Just want to finish up my O's quickly and go back to being the goofy me. If you think I'm goofy now, wait till 16th November. Nat and I are going to get ourselves arrested..
Thank You, God, for being there with me today.
You are the God of my life
And my song forever.
In strength or weakness
I trust in You
In joy or suffering
I delight in You.
Happy Birthday, drey and klo..

Been quite awhile since I last updated huh?Went for a class bbq yesterday. It was long after chemistry remedial so I had time to catch up on some [One Piece] first.
If you think about it, what are we even going back to school for on Teachers' day? I mean, teachers are supposed to have their day off right? Guess I'm kinda grateful to my teacher for taking the time off to give us remedial.
So yeah, watched a few episodes of [One Piece] then set off for the party. Met a few classmates on the way and went together.
When we reached, we saw that Ruben, the host, was already tipsy before we got there. I mean, the party hasn't even started and he's already drunk? Come on..
Much of the day was pretty much spent lazing around, eating and playing at the playground. Yes. Playing at the playground. Our childhood has not been fully deprived of us ok..? Some guy brought his guitar so some of us just sat down and made noise abit. Of course, there were a few taupoks here and there.. It's only natural right? hahaz..
Woke up early to go for remedial today and whaddaya know? Remedial was cancelled. Good right?
Yeah.. It would be if not for the fact that I only got that SMS when I reach PP mrt. Argh.. Wasted 45min and 70cents in total. Call me cheapskate for all I care. 70cents is still money.
Really hate Saturday mornings. Instead of being woken up by the alarm clock on normal school days, I get woken by my mom's nagging early in the morning when it is the one day of the week where I can sleep in a little bit. It's just so damn irritating.
Better get down to doing my chinese now. If not she'll nag the crap out me when she comes back.
Happy Birthday Nick and Matt.
