Burst of red & green, all over me.

JINGLE-JINGLE-JINGLE-JINGLE-JINGLE.


Eh oh wassuppzxc friendly kahoonies of all shapes & sizes! Hope you guys have been good this year 'cause its Christmas yet again!
Time sure flies eh? School's starting for most of us next Friday! Hmmm I bet most of us haven't finish holiday hmwk. (not me, I finished mine 2 mths ago. Now, if only I can find them...)

So anyways, Christmas eve was decent. Service in church was great & I managed to spend some time with mummy dearest at Orchard, although the human traffic was cra-zayyyyyy. Did a little shopping & bough parents some gifts, ate at a little Jap store. Pretty filling, I must say.
Then, she left for a party with her friends while I left for mine in church. Twas' fun & all. But then again, Christmas is always fun, right?


Happy & blessed X'mas, everyone. [:
Now, where's that mistletoe......

Mehri Krizmahx. [:

Feel Good Drag.

Well well well, what ya know.
Its already the last mth of the year.
Its a good year so far, although 1st mth of holidays were a bore.

Gonna promise myself I'll spend this mth fully. (Trainings, matchs, class events, drum lessons, revision of sch work etc...)

Church's packed with events too.
This weekend's Candy Weekend.
They're giving out free sweets (lollipops, jawbreakers etc) & BEN'S & JERRY ICE-CREAM.
Now, how awesome is that?
Then, the following Saturday would be the 80s/90s Weekend, where everyone dresses up like ppl from that era & jiggle to that era's music. (Think Rick Astley, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe etc.)
Then Sunday would be a 1min talent contest where the winner walks away with a GUITAR HERO GAME SET. Caught your attention yet? HAR HAR.
:DDD

Anybody interested can contact me for more info. [:
Hmmm I wonder what I'll get for Christmas.....
*Dear God, a new music phone or mp3 pls*

Chicken pox's a female dog, seriously.
Your whole body will start to look like the surface of the Moon, not to mention the fact that you have to stay at home for 2 whole weeks.
Dammit, its itching all over & I'm not allowed to scratch it. Oh, the agony. Actually, I don't mind the itch, its just that its itch at places where the sun don't shine. Go figure.
But the good thing is that it'll heal completely by 2 wks time so I have smth to look forward to.

Went to the doc's this morning, turns out I've never been vaccinated before. That's why I caught it.
Was given 2 bottles of calamine lotion & 2 pkts of tablets for speedy recovery & prevention of itchiness.
Honestly, when you apply the lotion to your face & look into the mirror, you can't see the pox marks. Its like you're wearing a facial mask or smth.
Nothing much happened today, just the same old stuffs. I can't believe I'm saying this but I kinda miss skool.

I have chicken pox. Joy.

Here (In Your Arms)

Its 2 mins till 3a.m on a Wednesday morning, 5th Nov 2008.
Holidays have a been a bore for me, honestly. & its only been what, 2 wks?
I sure hope things would liven up a little a the near future.

Came home late today, went to hear Nick Vujicic preach at church today.
FYI, he's an Aussie who was born without limbs. As you may expect, he has been teased, insulted & *insert suitable words here* throughout his childhood. He had thoughts of commiting suicide at the tender age of 8 yrs old. That was when he found out that the accomplishments he achieved even with his disability can be an inspiration to other ppl. So, he goes around the world giving talks about 'impossible is nothing' & 'believing in yourself, don't care what ppl say or think about you'.
Its was real motivating, I must say. He's a funny guy too. & oh, he can do what most normal ppl can, like driving a car, swimming, playing soccer etc etc etc.
Sounds hard to believe huh? Well, he's having 1 last talk in church tmrw at 7:30pm. Place's gonna be packed I tell ya. I had problems leaving church after that because there were truckloads of ppl there.

Anyways, have anyone heard the Twilight soundtrack yet? Honestly, I don't really think there's much about the Twilight series (I'm most prolly gonna get mobbed by legions of Twilight fans) but the soundtrack's rad. Paramore has 2 tracks on it & there's a piano track titled 'Bella's Lullaby' which I highly recommand.

Whole week's packed with special guests' talks at church.
At least I've smth worth doing this week.
Ttyl, gonna make myself some Nachos with Spicy Thai Chilli.
[:

Seize the day.

Eh oh wassuppzxc friendly kahoonies of all shapes & sizes.
What a wk its has been for me. Super tiring I must say.

Friday

Extra 1 wk lessons started today. Was late for 1/2 hr but didn't miss much, quite unproductive though. Headed home to change & left for church afterwards for prayer meeting. Hanged around for awhile before heading to Max Pavilion for A7X. Pretty much went alone because Hung & gang went in first.
Moshpit was chaotic/insane/fun/*insert suitable words*. Randomly made friends with 2 ppl in the pit though. Their names were Cheryl & Brandon if I'm not wrong. Pretty cool peeps & we happened to have certain stuffs in common.
Some funny stuff happened during the gigs. Bitch-fights occured between minahs & some ang mohs started a wall of death before the gig actually started. Was moshing when I saw a shoe on the ground. Randomly picked it up & threw it to the front. That was when I felt a tap on my shoulder & the guy behind me said, "Dude, that's my shoe." Damn paisei sial. If you happen to be reading this, apologies to you, dude.
Went home alone as I couldn't find Hung & gang. Reached home with muscle-aches, cuts on my knees, sprained right knee (I think) & an empty stomach.
Had instant noodles & fell asleep after showering.

Saturday

Overslept till 3+ & missed CEG with Ivan preaching (Sorry Chew/Hannah/Fee/etc). Darn it.
Left house around 4:40 & took cab down to church. Shuting & Huiyue came for svc & I think they like it a lot.
Pastor Aries from CHC preached today. Was good but wasn't as interesting as Pastor How's sermons. Guess I'm to used to Pastor How preaching.
Had dinner with CEG. Hadn't had LGS for awhile, missed the flaky fish.
Went up to church & slacked for awhile & left home at around11:30. Took MRT with Chewteng & gang.
Reached home around 12:30. Grandma's pissed. Apologies to you, grandma.

Blood drips from your eyes,
A beautiful last goodbye."

Unholy Confessions.

What a school year it has been eh?
Before you know it, its the last day of school already.
Well, not actually. Tmrw still have to go back school for extra lessons till next wk.
Oh well, they're for our own good & I can't afford to miss any of them.

I agree I haven't work as hard as I'm expected to in school. Gotta spend this 2 mths of holidays wisely.
Anyways, school ended at 11:15 & I 'wandered' around & then headed to NYJC for rugby match around 4+. Not much players turned up but match turned out to be pretty good. Peirce won in the end but it was all fun.
Walked around a near-by pasar malam with teammates before heading home. My back & left leg hurts a hell lot. Exam periods can really prevents you from exercising much.

Dinner (Grandma's Beef bee hoon) was awesome-o, haven't had it in a while.

Well, I'll be looking forward to tmrw. Why?

24th Nov 2008
Friday
8pm
Max Pavilion.

Ring a bell, anyone? [:

Desperate times, desperate measures.

Church svc today was good as always.
'Hang Out at HOGC' was fun, the food was great & I kicked Dilan's butt in Guitar Hero 3 times.
(Sorry dude, had to rub that in, Haha.)
Left around 10 & reached home at 11+. Oh, the irony.

Getting back EOY results tmrw. Joy.


"The 2 greatest days of a man's life is the day that he's born & the day he finds out what he was born for."

- Sir Winston Churchill.

Eh oh wassuppzxc friendly kahoonies.
Nothing much today except that I've got some stuffs that I feel that I have to get off my chest.


You know how us teens nowadays tease each other by calling names right?
I mean, there's the one that you use animal names. Maybe that person's surname happens to be say, "Quek". Then you go on call him a duck.
Then, there is the one about someone's looks. Perhaps that person has a dark complexion. & then you come along & call him "Bangla" or "Ah Neh".
Of course, there's the ever-popular "your mum, your dad" tease.
We go around everyday & teasing our friends with these methods. We have this mentality that because we do it everyday, the receiving end of such teasing would be used to it & maybe even laugh about it. But have we ever thought about what will happen if one day that person is in a bad mood or smth bad happened in his life & we unknowingly pass off such remarks?

Imaging this, somehow you just say, "Walau, why you do things like that one?! Go die luh you! Haha." & that person happens to be in a real bad mood & he took those remarks to heart & really went to commit suicide. Would you be able to take responsibilty for unknowingly causing someone's death? Would you be able to erase the thoughts of how you wish you could turn back time?
The one thing that people nowadays fail to see is that our tongue & the words that comes out of our mouths can have a very huge impact on the receiving end. If we said smth bad to that person or we gossip about that person behind his/her back, we could've most prolly just killed his/her dreams & perhaps his/her spirit. You could have also just broke that person's heart. & all these can happen in a flash, just by the words that we say. Certain ppl practice double standards & can be nice to one person at one point & be bad behind that person's back at another point.
I'll end here but think about it people, wouldn't it be great if one day people could learn to stop such gossiping & uneccessary teasings & actually learn to love & appreciate each other?

I would love that, wouldn't you?


"Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it will eat its fruit."

- Proverbs 18:21

This War Is Ours.

Eh oh wassuppzxc friendly kahooniesssssssssss.
Gyea, finally got some spare time to blog a little. Exam periods are always hectic if you haven't notice.
Currently revising Physics & Geog. Really satisfied with my History paper today, confident that I'll pass it somehow.
Hopefully, the remaining papers (Phy, Geog, Chem, Maths2) would be relatively okay for average passes. I need them grades badly.
Anyways, ETF pre-released another song off their new album coming out later this mth. It's the title track of the album called "This War Is Ours". For fans of ETF, this is part 2 of their previous song, "The Guillotine". Strangely, both parts are inspired by the XBox game, Halo. Go figure.

Follow-up with Fee at 2pm.
Prayer Meeting at 4pm.
Combined CG at 5pm. Heard its a very important one.

Been feeling refreshed recently, have no idea why.
But at the same time, I feel like I've lost touch with some ppl around me.
Perhaps its the exams? Or maybe its smth else...


"I cant believe the troubles that you've caused.
The pain is getting stronger, like an open wound without the gauze.
It's on my brain, it's driving me insane.
It's on my mind all of the time and if it left, I would be fine."

Maybe we could live if our eyes were opened.

Eh oh wassuppzxc one & all.
Study session with Cherm today, wasn't really productive I must say but oh well.
Brought her to church afterwards & what ya know, she actually likes it.
Hopefully, she'll be planted in church soon.

Anyways, the reason I'm blogging today (after what, 3 wks of absence?) is that I've been observing & noticed something. Honestly speaking, I believe that the previous generation of people have loads of talents to actually make impacts in the world today. Team S'pore won our first Olympic medals after 48 yrs of trying, Phelps won 8 medals & earned a place in the record books & S.Africa won the Rugby World Cup against England even though they were the underdogs.
The current generation of people are no doubt a talented bunch too. Young kids forming bands & making music with purpose, whether is it about global or personal issues. Young atheletes training hard & eventually making it to the national team & making their nations proud by putting in effort & putting on a wonderful performance on an international level.
No one in this world was born by accident, ladies & gentlemen. Everyone was born with a purpose in life but why are we avoiding it? Why are we wasting our talents on stuffs that most prolly won't do you much good?
Great leaders have come & go, they've made impacts all over the world & contributed to making the world a better place no matter their field of professionalism, be it music, politics or sports.
We're worth much more than this world got to offer, I believe everyone knows that. Its just a matter of whether you choose to accept the fact or not.

I think its about time our generation stepped up, what about you?


"We were meant to live for so much more.
Have we lost ourselves?"

Tilting the hourglass.

Time past real fast, I've just realised.
Before you know it, EOYs are around the corner.
I'm afraid I might not be able to make it to the end, honestly speaking.
But do I really wanna give it all up so easily?
I really hope the answer is no.

How I wish I could turn back time like that Jap geek in Heroes.
What's his name again, Hiro Nakamura?
Anyways, today's my folk's anniversary (how 'bout a round of applause).
Had dinner at Iciban Sushi. Pretty filling I must say.
Walked around AMK Hub for awhile before heading home.
Revising some english work currently.
Gonna turn in soon.

Its 12:21 currently (What a time to blog.)
School's reopening tmrw, hmwk 3/4 finished.
Gonna finish them soon.
& oh, EOYs are in 4 wks time (screams in horror.)
Time to buck up & (as Hung says it) time for 'hXc-mugging mode'.
[:


Little deaths on musical beds.

Blame it on the southern weather.

Its currently an hour past midnight & I can't sleep, I've no idea why.
Might as well finish up holiday hmwk & some tuition work too.

Maths remedial at 11am tmrw.
& oh, I missed Chem remedial today. I didn't know until I read Veron's blog.
How could you be so forgetful, Dee?

I'm so hungry right now.
& oh, not to mention cold.
What's up with the f***ed-up weather anyways?

Here today, gone tomorrow.

She's prolly on a quarter-way of her flight back to Cuba by now.
Kinda regretted not seeing her off, honestly.
Even though we've only met once & we only know each other for a few months, I guess I've grown attached to her, not in that way though. Its the kind of feeling you get when you've got a best friend who's like your close relative or smth, ya know?

Stayed at home the whole day today.
Did physics TYS & used pc.
Speaking of which, I just broke my 'computer-fasting' programme.
Hmmmm, ought to control yourself, Dee.

Maths tuition in another 2 hrs.
Prolly should get smth to eat now. I'm starving.


"Here today, gone tomorrow.
We're saying our goodbyes, drive away from the past.
Don't feel sad, don't feel sorrows.
The memories in our hearts, I won't forget."

; Silverstein - Here today, gone tomorrow

Don't shake, I hate to see you tremble.

Sept. holidays are here. No time to slack though.
I need to pull up my socks & start mugging. Have been thinking lately, maybe I should stop using the com until the end of EOY? Hmmm I should give it a try, its for my own good anyways.

Nothing much went on today.
Woke up around noon time & rushed to finish up tuition hmwk (I was supposed to wake up at 8:30. Argh.).
Physics tuition at 5:30, ended around 7:30. Went through TYS, helpful to a certain extent though. See what happens when you don't listen in class, Dee?
Anyways, had chicken rice for dinner. Haven't had it in weeks. Kinda unhealthy though but what the heck.

Gonna finish up maths holiday hmwk & then go watch tv.
Soccer at 10am tmrw & gym training at 4pm.
Stoked? Kinda.
I need the exercise anyways.


"So here's my toast,
to all my tears & lost hopes.
As thoughts of uncertainty,
are those that I can't cope."

Eh oh wassuppzxc friendly kahoonies! [:
As you can tell (or not), I'm in a happy mood today.
Had a pretty good day so far (& its Teacher's Day too, wow).

Anyways, school ended early today due to T.Day. Our(12th&hyde's) set received good feedbacks from a couple of peeps in school, which came as a surprise because we didn't thought it was that good of a fantastic performance. Besides, the song was slightly irrelevent (Imagine performing FFAF on T.Day.). I wonder what the teachers think though....
Random Play's set sounded pretty good from the the amount of applause & cheers coming from the crowd but then again, it would be entertaining if you have Mr Aaron Tay as a lead singer. [:
Black Rhythm's set was okay. Things were a little messy but it turned alright. Brenda (the keyboardist/pianist) was really good, I must say.
But I guess the band which got the most crowd support would most prolly be Rachel's band which consist of Lenny & Shawn. They did a cover of Jason Mraz's I'm Yours. Their set oddly reminds me of Mraz's set at SingFest though, not that its a bad thing.
After that was a chinese skit done by the Drama club. Was well done, even though I didn't catch what the skit portrays. But I bet they put in a lot of effort into doing it.
Next was the performance by the Modern Dance Club. Pretty well synchronised dance steps which caused hearty nose-bleeds for some guys (I shan't say who).
NCC's rifle-spining/throwing/switching/etc performance was okay. Some of them dropped their rifles. But I'm sure they were nervous that's all.

Didn't catch what happened afterwards, only that we have to go back class for announcements/holiday homeworks/etc.
Went to Prata House with Weijie, Veron, Fiona & Jaz for lunch. Royson joined us afterwards. Had a heavy lunch I must say. My bill came up to $10.10, can you believe that? Food prices are rising faster than I thought. Hmmm time to lose weight & cut down on food, Dee. You're gaining unwanted weight too.

Anyways, headed towards to Bishan Park to work on the History video project about Hitler & what ya know, I got chosen to be Hitler. According to Veron, I 'look' like Hitler. Thanks uh, Ham. Haha.
So, I combed my hair to a side-parting, wore some colar shirt & got that trademark moustache drawn onto my face. Gyea, go ahead & laugh your hearts out. Roy played a Jew, Fiona played one of my 'secret police' & Veron was the director/camera-woman. They played Hitler's supporters in the last part of the video. Gyea, notice the irony.
Jaz & Weijie helped out by filming some parts & contributing ideas respectively. Thanks much guys, you guys have been very helpful indeed.

Speaking of Weijie, she is of small proportions as you might know (or not). But guess what, she managed to pluck down some leaves from a tree that's at least a body taller than her! & she was so so happy that she started waving the plucked stem of leaves to us & that really cracked us up.

You're real adorable luh, Chen Weijie. Thanks for cheering me up today too. :DD

Dinner was awesome-o today. (Thanks mum.)
Household's a lot quiet today than it was yesterday.
At least its peaceful for now.


"For the briefest of moments,
my heart crashed & burned.
It was when they flashed that grin,
the kind that could kill & hurt.

Be my sunshine,
like a calm after the storm.
Light up my dark skies,
You are what I long for."

When all we know is falling.

They're falling apart. Honestly.
As much as I hated him for doing what he did, he had already apologised.
But she just can't forget the scars he gave her. I mean, I can't really blame a woman to hold such a grudge but she has to learn to forgive & forget.
Its pretty hard to live life as per normal when they quarrel every few days & things tend to get violent more often than never. Not that I hate this family, its just not the same household I used to know.
Gramps' pretty much torned as they blame themselves for not being able to do much to stop fights & needed me to do so, even those times when weapons were involved. Its pretty much heart-wrenching to see your loved ones fight & you can only do this much to contribute to the stoppage of these unwanted violence & hatred. Really.


"Watching them quarrel,
like bullets spewled across a battlefield.
While I'm caught in this plaintive crossfire,
I guess they didn't care much about how I really feel."

Sheesh, I'm darn full after just having my dinner.
I sure can't get enough of my mum's cooking.
Currently doing Chem TYS hmwk from tuition while enjoying a nice bottle of Bundeberg & anyone who drank Bunde before would agree with me that its the best root beer evaaaaaaaaa. That's how good it is but my mum thinks I should cut down on it.
Looks like I have to disobey my mum on this one.

Anyways, Teacher's Day rehearsal today was so-so. It was pretty messy but I must say everyone put in a lot of effort into organising the whole concert. The bands did well enough I guess & had some good feedbacks from other people. At least now its clear the concert 2 days from now would be entertaining enough.

Tmrw's the Telematches the school organised & I'm involved in the Sarong Race.
Come to think of it, it might be fun.
But I'll see how it goes tmrw.
Oh, there might be M1 Tens this Saturday. Reckon much players would be interested in playing.


Where were you when I needed you the most?

Children of Bo(re)dom.

Eh oh wassupzxc friendly kahoonies.
Today wasn't much of an exciting day, nothing much to talk about.
But I'll blog about it anyways.

Okay, I woke up around 5-5:15 this morning, only to fall asleep again & not waking up until 6. (I slept at 12+ this morning so you can't blame me okayyyyyyyyy.)
So I rushed myself to get ready for school & ate my breakfast. Luckily my mum gave me a ride to school or I would've been late. Thank God I've such an awesome-o mum. [:

So anyways, I realised during morning assembly that half of my class didn't turn up for school today. My guesses are its because of the Amazing Race yesterday. But most of them turned up anyways after morning assembly, so what the heck.
I swear I could've slept through the whole day's lessons. My eyes were heavy & I've a major headache. But 1st lesson was Mr Song's lesson & trust me, you couldn't sleep even if you tried to.
Next lesson was Mrs Han's math lesson so I caught a short nap before having her wake me up to answer some questions. (Arghs.)
Then it was Chem lesson with Mr Tan (Moans). Okay, he's not a bad teacher but the way he talks can really put you to sleep but luckily I pulled through his lessons.
After recess was Mdm Gay's lesson. Although its kinda hard to believe but I'm starting to find her lessons more interesting & thus, I didn't fall asleep, which is a good thing as I really need to start listening in her class.
PC lesson isn't much to talk about since Miss Wong had to invigilate the sec4s' prelims. So, we did our own stuffs & I was playing Game Boy out of all things. Okay, I admit I'm too old-skool but that was all I could do, I wasn't in the mood of doing hmwk neither.

Went jamming with Random Play after school at Olando since there's Teacher's Day rehearsal tmrw. It was okay, at least it killed sometime. I really hope I don't screw up the song or anything, it'll be darn embarrassing I tell ya. Although I'm more worried about other stuffs....
Headed home afterwards & now I'm waiting for maths/sciences tuition to start.
Hmmm, I'm hungry. Time for dinner.

Adios amigos.

From First To Last.

Wah-wah-wee-wah.
What ya know, I just created a new blog.
Oh well, might as well start of by describing my day.

Nothing much in school today, actually.
Lessons got cut short due to 'The Amazing Race' programme oraganised by the school.
You have to go around S'pore & find out more about our country's past fyi.

It was kinda fun although my uniform was soaked by the end of the whole thing.
We did all sorts of stuffs from running from places to places & taking pictures to voicing out our thought about our country to random passers-by.

The only highlight of the whole thing was when my group was running towards one checkpoint & half of the group stopped because they saw MacDonalds. Gyea, you can tell how tired & hungry everyone was. (It occured in the CBD area & we came all the way from Kranji, go figure.)

Anyways, we were released at The Padang & we had to go home on our own. Can you believe that? I mean, we're all dead beat from all the running (& not to mention screaming) & they expect us to go home on our own? At least give us a ride back to school or smth, its wayyyyyyy better than stepping onto a public transport all sticky & smelly and with everyone staring at you.

Well, I got home & got ready for tuition & hell, I couldn't even concentrate. Hmmm maybe I should consider not going school tmrw?
Anyways, I'm gonna finish up on some tuition hmwk & I'm off to bed.

So long & goodnight.
