Some Anti Smoking Essay
In my family of four, no one commands more respect and power than my father. He is not exactly a typical tyrant than you would expect, but yet he somehow manages to make you do things you wouldn't normally do without resorting to violence or anger. He is a friendly man who can communicate with pretty much anyone. He is also a very successful businessman who treats both his clients and employees well. In fact, many people consider him to be the perfect man, since he neither drinks nor gambles, but what they do not know is that he smokes, a lot. He doesn't smoke in front of anyone other than his family, and only does it when he is under immense stress. When I was a kid, i used to ask him why he smokes, since it smelt so horrible. He would always answer, " Every time I smoke, one of my wishes will be granted, but i have to use them sparingly, or else there will be no more wishes left." And it wasn't without "evidence", on one occasion he smoked 7 cigarettes in a row the night before an important meeting about a deal with a client. The next day he came home early to celebrate the closing of the deal. So as time went by, I started to believe in what he told me. And i had no reason not to, after all why would my father lie to me?
Next up would be my brother. He is 21 right now and living on his own with his girlfriend. He wasn't very bright in school, only averaging passable grades, making my father very ashamed of him, since he himself was a university graduate. He too was a social person, being one of the most popular kid back in his secondary school days. He was also a natural leader, organising many environment- friendly events in the school. However, the big difference between my brother and my father, was that the former hated smoking. My brother tried to stop him from smoking but he just refused, straining their relationship. Fortunately, even though they never admitted it, I believe that they deeply respected each other's strengths and flaws. My brother is working as a construction worker now, as well as a part time bartender job at night to save up for his future wedding. my mom once described him as being too good to other people for his own good.
My mom was a great woman. Strong, caring and sensitive, and the best part is she totally loves her children. She dotes on me and my brother so much, sometimes we have to ask her not to. But she was the person who instilled a lot of discipline in me. When I was a kid, she used to be very fierce and punished me severely, especially if i did something morally wrong like lying. But as I grew up, she became less strict and shows her caring side.
Lastly, there's me, a Secondary four student who's still a kid at heart. I am quite a smart kid, but lazy. My father puts all his hopes of his children being doctors on me and splurges on me, making me feel guilty that i was stealing attention away from my brother. Fortunately, he understands and doesn't hold grudges against me. As far as religion goes,I'm pretty much a freethinker, with little bits of christianity from my mother and buddhism from my father and grandparents. I do believe that there is a force controlling this world who guides everyone, depending on what they have done. Myd. brother calls it karma, in short, if you do good deeds, you will be rewarded, if you do bad things, you will be punishe So that made me wonder, maybe it was because my father did so many good deeds that made him successful, rather than the cigarettes, but i didn't really pursue the matter.
Now, finally i can continue with the story. I entered Secondary four life as a completely naive child. I didn't know what having a girlfriend was like, what new friends I will have, why people are having so much problems over their boy-girl relationship. And the LCE lessons weren't helping one bit. During the first three months, I did make new friends, but i didn't participate in their activities, basically going home everyday to study, so my grades were quite consistent.
During the one week break, one of my friends, Buddy, called me out to watch a movie with them. Naturally i agreed since i had nothing better to do than study. We watched "insert movie here" and went to play pool nearby until 11pm. Just before we left the area, Buddy led me to a small alley near my house. He then took out a small box from his pocket, which under the dim lighting could not be seen clearly, but he did take out a stick from it. He said' "try it, just one smoke." I hesistated before taking it, but just as i reached out to grab it, a huge torrent(?) of rain swept across the alley, catching both of us by surprise and causing Buddy to drop the stick. I sped towards the opposite void deck near my house. He threw the box to me before running in the opposite direction towards the void deck, shouting to me across the rain, " keep it!" Needless to say I went home drenched, with an angry mother waiting at the door.
On the first day of the 2nd semester, Buddy rushed up to me and put another box of cigarettes into my bag, saying that he has been blacklisted by the Discipline Master and I need to keep the box with me for safekeeping. Before I had to chance to say anything, he dashed off, leaving a motion of blur in its wake (exaggerate too much) . So i was stuck with the another box for who-knows-how-long. School wasn't any much harder for the 2nd semester, except that i have less time to study since I was playing with Buddy and a new friend, "Guy". Guy was a big, strong, tough guy with lots of muscles and a sensitive heart. Its no wonder so many girls are attracted to him, since he was handsome and romantic at the same time. The three of us were interested in both soccer and basketball, so we could fit in with most cliques easily. We played virtually every day after school, alternating between the two sports. One weekend, we played all day at the video arcade until 5 pm, after which we sat by the steps and chatted about life and things like that. I found out that Guy was a smoker, but the only reason he did it was to "keep" his girlfriend. How ironic for a tough guy to be manipulated by a girl. They also tried to persuade me to smoke, saying it was cool and stuff. I tried to light a cigarette in my mouth, but a speeding car went by and splashed water on all three of us, making all the cigarettes as well as the lighter wet. This was the period when they kept pressuring me into smoking.
My Mid-year Examinations results declined by quite a lot. Many of my teachers complained about the sudden tiredness they see in me, mainly because I play till the wee hours of the morning. So during the holidays, my father decided to bring me to a hawker center for lunch as well as a father-to-son talk. As he was holding a lighted cigarette in he left hand and his handphone on the other, he started to check the 4d results. The 1st prize was 1991, which he missed by 2 digits, while the 2nd prize was 1210 which he also missed by 2 digits. However,he blinked a few times when he saw the 3rd prize, the 3rd prize was 9733, which meant he won! Now i began to wonder if cigarettes really did grant wishes.

Life .... After 16
When you reach 16, you start to do a lot of thinking, thinking what you will do after school, what kind of girl/guy will be your future ( or current) girlfriend/stead/wife, how much you will earn or even the the next important thing thats gonna happen to you, whether you are going to a JC or Polytechnic.
I know each has plus and minus(es) and i also know different people who go for different reasons. Some being higher education, some because their parents chose this path for them, some because they WANT to go against their parents. but im not here to talk about that.
im talking about what happens after. Not everyone who gets out of school is automatically given a job related to their diploma/degree, nothing in life EVER happens so predictedly (if such a word exists). Cuz if thats the case, there would no longer be any more hawkers to serve you favorite food, no more cleaners to clear all your messes, and no more annoying salesmen who bug you until you buy something you already have (though that may actually be a good thing).
SO does anyone really have a backup plan if the Integrated Resort (which you took as a diploma) went bankrupt, or if the next biggest trend in jobs is hygiene engineering (i just made that up as a word for toilet) and you just happen to not have a d/d in that industry like pretty much everyone else. or they decided to go back to primary industries so the business d/d just became void.
After all that virtually useless crap, I have classified all the jobs in the world into 3 groups which im not gonna list out since that would take up the internet.
The 3 groups are makers/getters --- the people who does work so you have something in your hands, mainstream include miners, manufacturers, designers while less mainstream workers include sweat shop workers and parents to a certain extent. The next group is the fixers --- the people who fix things, things you got form makers or otherwise. Mainstream jobs include doctors and repairman, detectives, teachers, while less mainstream jobs include cosmetic surgeon, hitmen (people who kill other people, assasins), lawyers, pimps and mama sans. The 3rd group is the entertainer --- people who make sure you are happy and can do your job well. Mainstream jobs include comedians, dancers, actors while less mainstreams include prostitutes and psychologists.
There is this last group, their main purpose is to ensure others are doing what they are supposed to be doing, the Controller, or Leader.they are the CEOs and policemen and stuff. They are the type of people whom schools are trying to groom because they earn the most yet do the least compared to others, they just need to know how to talk and maybe management skills.
So mainly different people have abilities and interests and skills related to different groups. and i also find that its quite difficult to have interested in 2 jobbs of the same groups ( which are nt related) , such as liking doctor and repairman. however, it is obvious when you like music, usually you will like all sections of it but i wont touch on that.
I feel that it is important to be skilled in or at least interested to know more about jobs from various groups, as that will keep you versatile when deciding which job you wanna take when your diploma becomes useless in the real world, or if your education doesn't suit your or the current job demand
for example
im still dunno if i can make it to the JC, which is my first choice
so im making some backup plans
if i DO make it into a JC
i will probably take engineering or medical courses
engineering because i like it and medical because can be doctor/specialist and earn alot of money
But if i DON'T make it, and go into a poly instead
i will avoid engineering because a uni engineer can easily earn more than a poly engineer so difficult to find job.
i will take optometry(eyes) as there is currently no degree yet or theirs is specialist one
if i fail really really badly and go to ITE
i could become a bartender or something the industry then needs.
but im keeping my fingers crossed for jc although being a bartender sounds cool
so basically i wrote all that crap above to write about my plans after 16 provided i dont get retained la

The Comprehensive Guide To Understanding Glennard -- entry #1
i decided to blog out stuff about me
such that when and if i say something stupid or hurts u in some way
u can say, glennard is like that 1 la, dun take it seriously or dun be bothered
i see a lot of ppl helping out their frens in such ways
but has anyone helped me yet, i think
The Comprehensive Guide To Understanding Glennard -- entry #1
Glennard \ˈglen-ne:(r)d\ n Organism, half shy, half outgoing human male currently still in teenage years. Known to think too much and talk loudly when it thinks a certain point should be reinforced. However, it is capable of being completely quiet and emo ( see EMO--entry ##) when under stress or awkward situations such as in a room full of strangers. Prone to breakdowns. Relatively creative. Considered by the general populace as one who has low self esteem and is generally negative and slacking
Nil Gramends \ i co(u)ldn't fi:nd the `pro-noun-c(i)a-tion \ n Fictional Character. Alter ego of Glennard Sim. Most commonly found online. It is more brave than Glennard in comparison and has done numerous bold and daring deeds, deeds that will never be mentioned by Glennard to any other, besides those involved. Has a long list of infamous actions, most done online. Glennard usually reverts to this character either online, or trying to escape harsh realities of life. Many of the "creative' ideas are created by Glennard when in his alter ego of Nil Gramends, as usually Glennard will think that they suck and don't even try. Perfectionistic a in certain sense
Some of the things Glennard usually says and what he really thinks
I'm Bored
[What he really thinks]
I feel lonely and want someone to talk to, and was hoping that by saying im bored would instantly be a conversation topic.
Don't Want [to do something] lah
[What he really thinks]
I really want to join it but due to some insecurity issue, refuse and use laziness as an excuse.
Bloody Hell
[What he really thinks]
Bloody Hell
I tell u something/ Do u want to listen?, don't want jiu suan le(nevermind)
[What he really thinks]
Im about to tell you something very important which will either give u an advantage or make me feel better and less insecure, so shut up and listen.

exams over
dun feel like celebrating
din put in much effort so dun expect much results
also dun expect myself to be excited about end of exams
ya i know there are people who really tried their best
they deserve to scream when the papers are over
they are the ones who truly felt that the end of mye was a good thing
nt just another passing day
but among those who screamed the loudest, none seem to have put in effort
maybe tts y i wasnt in the really high mood that day
but i put on the clown's mask
and tried to play the fool
maybe i wasnt even close
hope no one notices
my results are nothing to be proud of either
the only 1 i can think of is probably 8/10 for the first part of cl paper 2
the one with a passage den feel in the blanks
usually i just get a 4 or 3/10
but nothing else really
i din get to see my compo today
i tried personal recount in a long time
it was quite dramatic
if i dun get gd results, i probably wont risk personal recount again
np day
raining again
no hiccups

An Old Essay keeping it here so i can remember next time
Write about an occasion when you were given some good advice and how you reacted to it.
“This could be your big break!” those words kept ringing in my ears. I could still remember that event clearly. I was spray-painting a wall about two blocks away from my school. The piece was almost done when I heard someone shout behind me, ” stop!” that voice was vaguely familiar, but my mind couldn’t process it that moment. Escaping was the only thought in my mind, I even dropped my spray can and bolted towards the nearest exit. At first, I was able to put some distance between him and I, but he soon caught up because I had difficulty breathing through my gas mask.
In a few seconds, the brutish man held on to my arm and shoulder, threatening to report the incident to the police. He said that he would only give me the slip if I took off the gas mask which covered my face. I hesitated for a moment, but after weighing my options, took off the mask. Both of us were shocked as we recognized each other. He was once my Art teacher who was promoted to be a senior lecturer at the Arts Academy. He dragged me back to the scene of the crime and gathered all my spray cans. He said that my piece was the greatest work of art he has ever seen from a teenager and wanted to give me a scholarship to the Academy. For the second time in one day, my jaw dropped. Never in a million years had I expected graffiti to be rewarding. It has only served as a form of self-expression until this point in time. He gave me his hand phone number and told me to give him my decision in a week’s time. He advised me to take this opportunity and make a name for myself.
With a box of spray cans in my arms, I walked home, deep in thought of the slightest possibility of my parents accepting the proposal. My parents were respected doctors who treated family like an army. They were people of science and worked with fixed formulas, unlike myself, who needed creative space to work to my fullest potential. I’m an underground hip-hop and graffiti fan, while my parents followed the National Geographic like it was the Bible. In short, we are the polar opposite of each other.
As I opened the door, part of me was hoping that my parents would accept my decision, while another part was trying to forget the incident. I wrote everything that happened today in my diary, hoping that it would only lighten my mood. I also tried to recall all the good times I had with my family, but it all seemed to turn sour. In a fit of anger and disappointment, I tore out the pages from my diary and threw it away, thinking of giving up and not letting my parents know at all
For the next six days, my world turned upside down. Everything and everyone just seemed to be in my way. My parents decided to take the day off and spend some time cleaning the house, surprising me as they had never let the cleanliness of the house, or anything else as a matter f fact, to obstruct their work. I went into my room, drawing my art pieces when my parents entered and showed me the pages of diary, which I tore out. They said that all they want is for me to be happy. For the first time, I saw their understanding side and a single tear rolled down my cheek as they said.” follow your dreams.”
In the next few years, I graduated as valedictorian of my batch in Arts Academy. My parents also amassed a small fortune, which they used to build a school for orphans, where I was one of the teachers. The school also has a mural facing the gate, the same one that I never completed back as a teenager, still incomplete, with the words written at the side. “ Follow your dreams.”

Sorry Starts With An Ass
Im sorry
Today i was the ass
Im sorry
sometimes people just stop thinking and do something stupid and make everything from bad to worse. And The Even worse part comes from the fact that it was my fault. I know im stupid, sometimes i just forget to think and start acting like a jerk. And I gt wad i deserved, A cold Shoulder and a few drops of tears. IT was thoroughly my fault, I shouldnt have laughed so loud and so hard, i shouldnt have distanced myself. But i did and the onli one i can blame is me.
Im sorry
The Biggest mistakes in the world are not caused by evil intentions, but idiots who stop thinking, even for 1 sec.
A Burst of laughter can lead to millions of tears
A drop of rain can lead to a flood
An angry thought can lead to violence
You can say its a stupid mistake but the guilt never goes away until you are forgiven
Im sorry
Will You Forgive Me?
From The Bottom of my heart,
Im sorry

Camp's Over
the hard work that most of us put in has paid off
although i wouldn't mind more manpower throughout the camp
I felt proud of myself after the camp, for the first time. Seriously. I felt that i have really contributed to my squad and the instructors. i just hope everyone else feels the same way about me!!
The preparation itself had a lot of hiccups along the way. mainly due to time constraints and the stupid after school lessons. Plus there were many things we really really din know until we became ncos, such as instructors can sleep on mattresses and kerosene bombs and ropes will spoil if they touch water. It's these little things that really gave us a lot of problems.
The first day of the camp was probably the worst. We were all very lax and left a lot of things to let the senior ncos do like suicide window, so we gt scolded basically. We din really know what to do cuz some went to help sec 3s but ci taking so we dun dare go near them then others try help suicide window but they are doing everything and we dont know what to do.the seniors also made a 5 spar flagstaff but it broke so we reduced it to 3. so the first day was nt quite successful
there was 1 sentence during debrief that i remember very well and motivated me for the next day. " You all know that you are short on manpower, so you have to do 2 person's work. My senior Ncos are only here to help you all, not run the camp for you all."
The second day was much better IMO. everyone knew what to do and we werent like first day keep running around aimlessly. but still quite problematic cuz cannot find each other when we busy. But our squad still can't motivate a large group of cadets, esp sec 1s, well enough yet, since they are more afraid of CIs than us. Another problem about taking squad is that, sometimes we dont know the priorties, whether to train them discipline first or to save time first so we usually get very confused over this matter, and thats when the CIs or senior Ncos start to scold us.
the main problem in this day was that a lot of us was too caught up in preparation that we din take the sec 1s at all, some people even played with flour and water. The campfire was successful but only after using wei quan's wood. our campfire nearly died cuz we din have a kerosene bomb and our wood wasnt dried properly. So lesson Learned here. the campfire really gt high after the sec 2 and 3 performance. YOU GUYS DID VERY WELL!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! thx to all who contributed esp the instructors.
Third Day was area cleaning plus urban hike. The urban hike was quite interesting but it was very tiring. WE WON. Our group was the first and we did it b4 lunchtime. THX Kelvin, elaine, woei jiun, wee kit, jun xian, jun liang(energizer), ming hui(map man), nina, lijing, Shenn Ma'am plus ME. if i miss out anyone must tell me hor. shenn maam gave jun liang a lollipop and he suddenly energize liao and walk dam fast. But he made us run cuz usually he reach checkpoint first.
lesson learned here is that mus keep encouraging cadets and let them navigate on thier own dun help too much.
The sec 1 leisure camp is over, Ive learnt many things as an NCO, i only fear that its too late.
When u try your best and people still shoot you down, that sux. THX jianyong for trying to up my morale

VDAY'S EVE another sucky "holiday"
ok im bored
Once again its the stupid holiday that reminds me of the infinite loserdom that im trapped in. as if Christmas hasnt done enough to the poor psyche of a young fragile teenage mind.
life sucks when you cant celebrate valentine's day. If only.
I've always wondered whats wrong with me. Maybe i wasn't born with looks like mr.shawn and maybe i wasn't born with talent like alam shah. Maybe i wasn't born with social skills like edwin or maybe i wasn't born smart but who really likes smart guys anyway. maybe im just too scared or maybe i dunno the right words to use or maybe im just dumb.
Someday
When my life has passed me by
I lay around and wonder why you were always there for me
One way
In the eyes of a passerby
I look around for another try and fade away
Just close your eyes and Ill take you there
This place is warm without a care
Well take a swim in the deep blue sea
I go to leave and you reach for me
Somesay
Better things will come our way
No matter what they try to say
You were always there for me
-sugar ray
i wonder who will be the 'you' for me in those lyrics.
maybe im just too stupid to realize that 'you' are just in front of me

Suddenly I See
no wonder we dun have enough space for other stuffs.
thurs
went to Temasek Poly in around tampines area
one way trip
quite okay la, except tt the students very enthusiatic
everytime we enter or exit one school they start cheering, which gets really lame after a while
reminds me a lot about PSLs
anyway, itz quite a organized school, although itz big, they gt alot of exhibition so take up alot of space and make ppl squeeze thru so they dont break their exhibits
also got quite some people cosplaying but all very ugly. the onli 1 mildly acceptable is the guy trying to be L of deathnote. he still quite okay except hair abit wrong.
to the school itself, still quite nice. architecture still quite new, not much wear and tear on their stuff cuz they jus built(?) or something. but still quite ok la can get around the school without getting lost. we had some kind of tour or something so the whole class had to see IT,applied science and engineering until 3plus.
the engineering school was disappointing, cuz all the exhibits never explain plus all jus gt blinking light nia, nothing impressive.
throughout the trip, i carried wenhui,xiaotong n jelena goodie bags cuz they carry so much school stuff and im the only one that dun have any books hahas. but they also quite good la, the only ones waiting for me when i too slow. ONE WAY SUX especially when you dont know the way. whats the point of putting 1 way when u go so far and 2 ways when the school is so near.
FRI
went to ngee ann polytechnic
clementi area
its like a small town in itself. its really big and some are areas are quite high up compared to the roads on the highway
also 1 way so road back sux
REALLY REalLY big. starting go to some lecture hall for a video clip den aso get goodie bag
aso same help the girls carry bag. we went to some convention hall den split up liao. cuz no tour except at the seperate schools. met up with the integ ppl and takkin den go IT school first. quite far from the main hall. quite interesting, but aso disappointing cuz they guide mention bleach n naruto so the whole integ ppls all waiting to see thier face. in the end is just 'this the the room we used to animate' HAHAHS. den we go shuttle bus stop wait for bus. wait for 3 bus still none of them want to alight. somemmore so dam hot den we wanted to walk back den sweeswee gt 2 bus com at the same time, so we split up cuz bus no space. we went to mass comm with onli about 6 ppl. we went up 9 floor ON STAIRS cuz the effing adrain wanna see plus the lift overflow of ugly girls. so we went up to find them, lucky at the end gt air con if nt die of exhaustion. when we finish come down liao, adrain n ben say they wanna go see business den edwin say wanna go home. so i call jelena they all and waited downstairs until they finish their tour.yang and shuan waited with me. whil waiting saw kenneth and edwin tan(?) come down. den we talk for awhile den they go off. finally the 3 vip girls come down summore with black face. so dun dare make jokes hhahahs
later the guys n me met up and went for dinner at 401 near the church via 74 bus.
After seeing the different polys, i found 2 feasible choices to take.
one is Engineering/Physics
One is Doctor/Biology(wadever tt school is called)
but im not going poly im going jc so the choice is still very much open.
mass comm and IT is out of the question cuz my father will kill me cuz he thinks gt too much ppl out those diplomas and diff to get job
business is possible if i going poly but nt if i go jc cuz by then it will be too late plus im nt a businessy person
Applied science is out cuz CHEM SUX
Design is still possible but diff to get idea when stressed during exam plus i dun think jc have.
my father kept bugging me to be doctor or more specifically specialist(specialise in one thing like eyes or cancer)i always dismissed tt suggestion cuz i din think i could get that much of education. what if i failed, tt means i wasted up to 10 years of tertiary education. but now after seeing ppl in poly, i suddenly rmb my dad's suggestion. it wasnt becuz i gt smarter out of the blue, but because i remembered y i went for tertiary education. because i wanted to give my parents and my future family a good life. which i can onli achieve with MONEY and a good job. So suddenly i felt like specialist was my onli career choice and yet i dont seem to be working any harder. maybe sumone need to wake me up.
the other choice is engineering which deals with physics. yay physics. I love physics. so obvious choice. but my onli fear in this job is that wont get gd job in the end end up as air con servicer. cuz there may be too many engineers in singapore already. sadsadsad. zomg. somemore a good job in engineering is nothing compared to a small time doctor in a clinic. the $$$ difference is quite big.
WAKE ME UP FROM THINKING OLVL IS """ONLY""" a few months AWAY

New Year Resolutionzzz
but Ive come up with a few new year resolutions ( finally)
i used the first few days of 2007 to try and collect 'opinions' of what people thought of me
there were people who knew me for 4-5 years but also people who onli remebered my name after 2006, so the opinions were quite different. there are still many similarities.
i did this to find out how people with different levels of contact with me thought i was. like how someone who knows me for onli 2 months thought i was, its a little difficult to explain but i wanted to know what kind of person i was from their point of view
so my findings include ( all comments are quoted ) ::
"erm...still ok.very depressed.think alot about life.often ask qns. gd 2 ppl. lazy.
easy to get along with.dif 2 understand me"
ok...quite expected except the "gd 2 ppl" part, maybe i am but no one seems to appreciate or thank me when i do ( or i din rmb them) so it doesnt stick to the mind
"can be funny.. straight forward.. quite cool at times.. pro at some kind of thing like paint and photoshop... good as a friend.. "
once again quite a positive 1, maybe cuz he knew me for a very long time, but cool only "at times" but still ok rite.
"u sometimes seems to find me at the wrong time"
basically it means bad timing, but i can see why.
"sometimes you think to much. thn is like. small lil stuff you think until so big. causing headache for others."
understandable
"i think u r a person who needs more confidence in whatever you are tasked to do... but i believe, u can do great things if you have the correct attitude towards the things you have to face.... =)"
obviously this comes from someone much wiser than myself.
"a gd fren, accept u keep on say i typical humility, then so much philosophy, others still ok, not serious abt studies, but other than that really a gd fren , can keep secret"
pretty much the same thing except the not serious about studies. SO TRUE and the can keep secret as well
"hahas. easygg lo, but stm i think u too straightforward bah"
wow im easygoing? but ive been straightforward all my life, and proud of it!
"DUNNO"
no comments
"straightforward guy"
read above for straightforward
"you appear to me as someone with quite low self esteem. thus, not being happy most of the time. kinda think lowly of yourself and don mix much with people. err...
from wad i see in npcc as well as in class last time la"
this was actually 1 of the longer conversations ive had about tt qns (what do you think about me?) cuz most ppl jus say DUNNO hahaz. but ya i agree with it mostly cuz tts how ive been in 2006
and then comes the most unexpected of all
"unpredictable"
WhAT? when i asked if it meant depressed like most answers ive gotten, i gt a no
I'm Actually unpredictable? wow
OK so on to my actual resolutions
1) actually study this year
2) be less depressed, i dunno how tts actually possible but...
3)get better timing
4)always tell people of how straightforward i am so they do not get hurt as much
5) get a CHIO girl to fall in love with me ( so far that has not happened yet, oh well )
6) umm make more friends who will remeber me after my secondary school years

JOURNEYman vs RESULTer
That was an old saying
To me, results are far better and they tend to give me more motivation than the process itself. Im sure most people see results as motivation too. But just to check :
I eat because i like eating ////or//// i eat because i want to survive
i drive because i like the road//// or//// i drive because i like that place im going
i know i hurt people ////or//// I know i hurt people because
because i like it//////////////////they are in pain
Im happy with my marks if ////or//// Im happy with my marks if i know i did my best //////////////////i get better than somebody
I know i have great friends if ////or//// I know i have great friends ifi made the effort to stay close /////////they will remember me
I have a loving gf/bf //or// i have a loving gf/bf ifi love him/her with all my heart /////she/he thinks of me and loves me
JOURNEYman ///////////or ////////////RESULTer
this 'table' may be a little difficult to read
Personally im a resulter, even though sometimes i keep reminding myself that the journey is more impt, i just dont get that kind of motivation. Whereas if i saw my results which was good i will work even harder
As for me its the results that tells me whether ive worked hard anot. I tend to compare myself with others ALOT, even though they dont know it. If the event i was planning was successful, i know i did a good job. If I don't get high marks for a subject im good at, i will automatic feel very low, even though i did or did not work hard for it.
So its a matter of personality, some ppl no need results to please themselves. All they need to know is that they did their best and they can sleep well at night, without any worries. but tts not me

Im Bored. Period
Haven't met up with the 2cha guys for 1 month i think, that makes it even more boring. tomorrow's the bbq, suddenly feel sad after 1 week's hype of it. maybe cuz pretty much everyone who usually attends cha gatherings are there so unusual faces cannot be seen Again.
]
I have been calling ppl up almost everyday for the past week, almost all phonecalls were not picked up or sms nt replied. IZIT BECAUSE I NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH. have been calling np ppls and 2cha ppls, both dont seem to hear me when i scream. but when someone else call them at any given time they answer, WHY. I Not big enough izit. NOT respected enough izit. all the exact same ppl who my frenz call and they pick it up. DAM EFFED UP
I think the guy who invented the phone's objective was to let ppls have access to everyone else at any time, NOT PURPOSELY IGNORE IT JUST CAUSE SOMEONE like me IS CALLING.
2moro bbq is very pathetic, i think less than 20 of a 42 mamber class is going. and onli about 5 of the 42 member class is realli interested in it, the other 15 are just callefair. Bloody hell. STOP CALLING IT A EFFING 2CHA GATHERING IF CHARITY PPLS ARE NOT GOING, INTENTIONALLY.
Life sux when your not respected, itz almost like not having friends or having a mouth but you can't talk

Another Piece Of My Life...
I do not want to write the details down because i dont want to remember the details of this incident when i delete this blog and look back at the stuff i wrote when i was young and stupid. I just want to remember that it happened, thats' all.
If you want to know more maybe i will tell you, but im NOT trying to get attention or sympathy...
2 men worked at a company with the same salary and qualifications. One of the men is given more opportunities to organize the company then the other man, because he is a friend of the supervisor .
The other man on the other hand, is quite monotounous, doing the same things everyday.
But Both Men Work Equally Hard, Only On Different Things
At the end of they year, the man who worked on different events was given twice the christmas bonus of the other man, and was also promoted.
The promotion and bonus was decided by the boss, who is fair, not the supervisor.
Isit fair that the man gets promoted because he is given more opportunities ?
Isit fair that the other man doesn't get more money even though he worked equally hard and keeps the company together, working on loose ends ?
Maybe not
but life's like that
Regrets are necessary to make people grow
P.S. BOWLING FOR SOUP ROCKS

The Anti - Life Equation
To phrase it mathematically, it would be known as the "Life Equation"
The opposite also exists, known as the " Anti Life Equation"
It is used to destroy free will, as not having any will would be equivalent to not being alive.
loneliness + alienation + fear + despair + self-worth ÷ mockery ÷ condemantion ÷ misunderstanding x guilt x shame x failure x judgment
n=y
where y=hope and n=folly, love=lies, life=death, self=dark side
.
If you knew of this equation, how would you use it?
Get more money?
Get that really cute guy/girl to fall in love with you?
Get control over your teacher?
Get the whole school to worship you?
Get your birthday to be the next national holiday?
Get that guy you really hate to be your slave?
How many people would choose not to use it.
despite the power it carries.
Knowing full well that nobody can stop you.
There would be no side effects, no faults,
no punishments, no jail terms,
nothing
Would you still do it
Before you answer this question
Think of yourself as a human being
With Every Basic Human Right
And Free Will
Don't think of yourself as
a father
a mother
a sibling
a student
a friend
a caretaker
FULLSTOP
Just one of the many questions of life i manage to stumble upon.

The First Day Of Work ......EVER
I went in with my dad at about 1030, then see a guy opening the shop. His name is Jason and he is quite friendly. he asked me to vacuum the floor before any customers come in. so i did for about half an hour. then the first few customers came in and jason served them, because he didnt teach me anything. So throughout the whole morning i just sat there and watched him serve. Then about noon another guy came in, Desmond. He helped him out a little and did a little paperwork. Then A Chinese Guy came in and asked me why he phone kept hanging up when he called others. so i tried it on my fone and it worked smoothly. Then he asked Jason why so he just help him reformat the phone and teach him how to off programs properly. Then after that, there was a message that it diverted the call, so he kept bugging Jason about it. Then he tried to ask Desmond to help while he went to buy lunch. then Desmond still couldnt help, so jason beg the guy to let him finish lunch firs tcuz he never eat breakfast, so the guy say that he will wait till he finish his lunch. So he try calling nokia hq but they also cannot solve the problem, then he say ask his friends who also have his friend, then jason become so happy.
After Lunch they teach me how to write the plan application for ppl who want to sign up a new line, so i finally knew what to do , at least a little bit. then the afternoon i just sat around until they have customers, otherwise i would explore the computer a bit. then near 530 pm, i was drawing on the computer, suddenly a voice told me i couldnt use it, i was shocked lor, summore the voice very familiar, like my past instructor during camp. Then as long as he was inside i just moved away or pretended i was looking at some handphone manual.
By Dinner, he went off so i just helped around a bit. I sold a few hi-cards and helped a few customers, by the end of the night.
My parents fetched me home, and they said that they might not have helped me if I wasnt their bosses son. They were the kind that are very crude in their language, so i wasnt surprised. I was thinking that if i gt another job where no one knew who i was, would i be able to slack. Its like they have to be good to me, or as they scared i tell my father and they might lose their jobs. So I was wondering how i would survive in the real world outside.
Many people I have come across call me rich or lucky or 'shao ye' (boss son), basically beacuse of my dad's work, and they treat me differently. I never really felt what the real world is like, especially those less fortunate. I probably never will. Although this is actually at my advantage, i dont like it 1 bit, because if you think for the one at the losing end, how does he feel that hos boss is treating someone else better than him for something he did not do.

Breaking Away From WOW
im seriously tired, i have been plaeing the same game for 3 consecutive nights till 12-1am
if you know me well, you would know that i dont usally sleep so late.
The Ultimate Example of Karma happened today...
I shouted at my bro for irritating me and saying that he wanted to play my game. I really shouted at him. Then he go 1 corner cry and go tuition after that. My mum called from work and told me that she explained things to my bro. As soon as he is gone from my house, i gt disconnected from my game, hten i keep trying to log in back for 3 hrs that he was in tuition but cannot. then my friend suggested that i change my password in case someone was hacking, so i changed. then When he come home right next to me then i can log back in. AMAZING. Maybe Some Guy Up There wanted to take revenge on me for shouting at him. Who Knows.
after playing wow for 2 weeks im officially addicted. so far its th onli game that made me stay up till 12 EVER. my neck hurts
The PTM was irritating. tan bee tin kept epeating he is one the the brighter ones. damn irritating lor. She wrote the longest comments i have ever received in my life. Usually its just "Glennard is a smart and good team worker. He can excel if he puts in more hard work" or something like that. This time is almost extended version lor. Then Keep saying to my father that i can do better if i put in more effort. i gt 15 for l1r5, apparently nt good enough. BUt my dad reminded me of why i like that when he mentioned my Primary 4 life. During then, My Parents Kept Pushing me to get better results. Then my results were usually band 1 around 80. But they kept pushing me and i Dropped till just pass. Somemore my neghbour then p6 ad psle and went in raffles, so they pushed me harder, then i just fell apart. At p5 they just let me learn at my own pace,( although i didnt realise it then until now).
This made me realise how i actually study. I hate relying on other people. I prefer studying at my own pace and if anyone tries to push me i will just stop there. I actually learn more when i teach others, a fact i realised this year ( thx ).
Its only 2 weeks after exams and people are alreday getting back to the studying mood already. AND I JUST PAID $100 FOR WOW TO PLAY FOR THE HOLIDAYS. ARRGH!!! sianz. the 'joys' of 3 hum.

The Problem Is Choice
Why Do I never seem to need to study or feel stressed or can still be so happy and hyper when the exams are just around the corner, Dont I Care?
to say the truth, I care,
i care a lot
but i just dont want to let others know that
i like having a shroud of mystery around me
i like people thinking that im happy, when im not
but ya, sometimes the emotions overwhelms you and you lose control for a while
but usually what you see of me isnt what is real
a mere shell
but sometimes you do see the real me
thats when you start hating me
because i myself hate me
so i need to put on a shell
so i can live through my school life in resonable shape
i dont like people to care about me
i find that it puts unneccesary stress on themselves and me
so i need to put on this mask
so people will think im happy and well
and doesnt have problems at all
thats the kind of person who doesnt need anyone to care for him
thats how i like my life to be
but regarding the exams part
i dont study much
even if i do i do it subconsciously
i do it during lessons and listen in class
rather then going home and trying to figure out everything by yourself and failing
except for a maths ive slept throughout the whole of term3 her lessons are just too boring
i dont like to study
i cant read a book without sleeping
much less read notes
i have no idea how im going to make it through my O Levels
so pray hard that i dont fall asleep in class
i detest people who study so much that other parts of life are neglected
even if it is during exam periods
i think of it as being controlled
i dont like being controlled
some people may think of it as focus or concentration
but i think its a waste of time
there's no point sacrifising health and sleep for books
sure it may be important but what about the other days
they are important too
the only reason why i care about my studies
are because of the ones who love me
my parents
they are the only reason i want to study
i dont want to be a burden
i dont want them to regret having me as their child
i dont want to make their sacrifises be wasted
i am probably going to study after looking at my parents
having to be able to take care of me and my brother
with love and joy
even though i know they wont see this
i want to thank them for everything
i want to study well so i can have a good job and give my parents and my future wife and children
a comfortable life, even if it means having 1 meal a day
that is if i dont do well in my studies...
i hope i can do you proud

i want to use this space below to write about steve irwin
this maybe a post for my bdae but i feel tt out of respect he deserves a little recognition
He was a rather impressive person
he gt popular without using gimmicks or songs or frauds
he gt popular bcuz he cared about preservation of wildlife
and he didnt stop there he still continued to spread the word on wildlife
he is a unique individual who rose to fame for a good cause nt like singers or actors
he rose to fame bcuz he cared about wildlife
nt by singing or acting on the silver screen
i may nt watch him much but i think he shld have lived longer
we need more people like him on earth
more people who use their influence for the good of the world
nt like paris hilton
or eminem
or jj
or milubing
or jim carrey
im nt dissing them or anything
im just saying that we shld spend less time and attention on them
and more time on the more important things like
wildlife or recycling
or whatever
this post was way too long

another reason to bang my head against the wall
...
...
we are no longer ncos anymore
..
we were not good enough
.
even the TOs said so
we have no initiative
no bonding
no telepathy
no respect for rank
no nco mindset
i am just 1 of them
i think im the one who pulled them down
i couldnt help them just because im tired
i always shout at people even though its not their fault
i bring peoples morale down
i make peoples worried about nothing ( me)
i waste other peoples time
i think they are better off without me
i just cant help them
i just cant make people listen
i just dont have the SHI LI
i just want to make them a higher profile squad even if
im not in it
i dont wan to be the best anymore
i just want everyone give their 75%
iz enough liao
maybe without me they can do better
i feel like biting myself
for letting them down
for not being SHI LI PAI
for simply being there when we are scolded
for not speaking up when i have ideas
for not making people listen when i shld make a decision
for not making decisions when i shld
im sorry
..............
every single decision i have made sucked until now
every decision others make rocks like hell
everything i do makes people piss off and scold me
everything others do gets them praise
but if they include me in what they do
the decision automatically sux
im sorry
i cant help yu guys
i cant do anything useful
i only make you all lose face
sry
BINGHUI NOW I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL...

You aint never gonna keep me down...
went to the steamboat at marina. Edwin and priscilla planned 2 weeks beforehand then on that day realised dunno how to go. hahas. after training go mrt wiat for them from 7.30 to 8.30 then decided to go. hwen we at the busstop waiting for them, gt 1 auntie keep harassing us saying what 1person $12 all that crap, she keep annoying us until the bus come lor. when we reach kang yue take alot of eggs then crack into the soup until the colour like milk liddat. so very little people use the soup only use the foil for cooking meat. then later, ms nai and mrs goh come join us. mrs goh always behind other people's back talk about them like say teacher lousy all that. after the steamboat, all the boys go arcade except takkin who wait for his parents with yang. ben and me went to the busstop to go back the mrt station. we didnt the bus was 1 way so walk for three stations until the we wanted to take taxi, then lucky gt bus come. the side at night almost no light 1, not like hougang midnight still so bright. reach home 12.30 kanna scolding by my mum. hahas
saturday morning
games day at north vista again like last year. we reach there then realised that we need to bring the challenge trophy. hahas. i played for tug of war but i only played for 1 match. we lost the challenge trophy that day but i feel that everyone gave their all including the instructors who were always by the side encouraging us. although we lost, i feel that we shouldnt have kept on complaining about the game like unfairness or whatever, it only makes us more angry and disappointed, instead we should tell our team good job everyone, its healthier that way.

U noe that feeling ...
that feeling that makes you feel completely worthless because u think that nothing good happens after so long?
that feeling that makes you feel like kill yourself because you are making others who are better than you seem average?

BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT, I LOVE NPCC!!!
I have only one word to describe it , MARVELOUS
It was 1 of the very very few times that I volunteered myself because i wanted to, not like usually because nobody wants to do it.
It was also 1 of the even fewer times where I was praised for my efforts in npcc as an individual.
Some of the highlights of the camp was the creative parade. My Creative parade grp gt Me,linda,guanzhong,gangyi,jingyi,cheeseng,junliang,eugene,weiting, still gt 2 more i forget name, lols pai seh. Basically, Come up with a unique parade that can involve anything. Sounds simple? HELL NO. We had no help from any instructors and we had no idea to start with. So the first day, Chee Seng was still in Msia and we cant teach him yet. Gangyi and me tried a few different ideas but in the end all throw in the dustbin. why? we realised for the first time that taking a squad is truly truly not easy. The sec 2s cannot concentrate and there was quite a few communication probs. So we were the slowest on the first day as the others had already started practicing. The next day was slightly better.we had 1 session before campfire prep, so we used the time to fuse all our ideas together to create a slightly better 1. Gangyi had an injury and cannot participate in the parade, but he really contributed alot. We managed to do about half of our parade but not enough time. Later, after the campfire, the instructors decided to change our bunk inspection to the actual parade, but WE HAVENT FINISHED PLANING. Fortunately, there was about ten minutes to prepare, and we did. but during the parade we forgot most of it like dressing and stuff so it ended up lousier than expected. but even tho we didnt win, i found it meaningful as it gave us an insight on being a squad leader.
Another highlight was the PT session. We had to take the sec2s for pt session for the very very first time. our group of PTIs include gangyi,junyuan,jesslyn,joanna,jianyong and me. jian yong and jesslyn looked around for safety measures while the others gave instructions and demos. I felt that it was quite good as every1s morale was high and every PTI participated. But the instructors felt that it was too long and we were "too high". Nonetheless, i still feel that all the PTIs did a good job.
Last but not least is the campfire. Its the first campfire we ever organized. before the camp we prepared a lot of firewood which took a lot of time. the campfire prep had the songleaders teaching the juniors cheers,while the runners and firefeeders(me) carried logistic items around. Our ic was jesslyn and junyuan. They did a great job of organizing us while the MCs gangyi and joanna were also good at bringing up the morale.
In an NPCC camp, there is bound to be takken-ing(scold and punishment) session. our session took place in the morning as the instructors wanted us to have a feel of nco standard before starting.
The first night of the camp was the bunk inspection. They were not happy with our bunks and wanted us to bring all of our stuff down to the parade square form our bunk which is at the third floor. Many of us, including the sec 2s dropped our stuff along the way. At the parade square, we were in pumping position as the instructors scolded us. Even our flag was rolled up as we were not able to portray what we wrote in our flag, SPEED SAFETY SERIOUS=STANDARD. Later, we went to wall for our half squat, we had to lean on some of squadmates for support. We were in that position for about 3-5 minutes. Our instructors were motivating us throughout even thought they were punishing us. They even took a photo of us in that position as a momento. It was really very touching, a few of us cried.
the second session was during the morning arnd 5 am. We were called down for a fire drill. every1 was late. jian yong woke me up and i couldnt even stand. my right knee was completely numb and i tried to stand three times but all land on my butt. lucky jian yong still nearby to pull me up. we gathered at parade square. 1 of the sec 2s was missing and the sec 2s were being scolded for not taking care of him. We had to help them search the entire school for him. I didnt bring my specs along so jian yong help me around. WE searched for a lot of time until the CIs decided to ask us return to bunk. After which we gathered for another fire drill. this time the CIs brought the missing person, joshua from the command post. He scolded the sec 2s as well as asked for reasons of the activity but they couldnt answer, so they pumped,recover,pumped,recover until they anyhow guess the answer. it was a good lesson for the sec 2s.
At the end of the camp, the instructors gave individual comments on us. I will wrote them here so i wont forget when i be an nco ( this is not to hao lian seriously)
You have done well in PT and MOI(method of instruction) but you should increase your profile in the squad.
I have really seen you grow up during this 3 days, you have don quite well in PT and MOI but brush up on your drills.
You are a firefeeder, you shouldnt forget your post and leave when you are needed.
You need to brush up your drills, but you have done quite well for your MOI and PT, good job.
good luck in your nco life and work hard for your post.
This NCO camp was amazing
I really want to thank all the instructors especially
SI Tan Jia Hao
ACI Lee Hui Ying
WCI Jocelyn Neo
CI Joey Pear
They really motivated our squad and me to push ourselves even further
I also want to thank my squad, Sec 3s 06 for helping me and each other throughout the camp
Joanna
Junyuan
Jesslyn
Jingyi
Gangyi
Jianyong
Chengboon
Anastasia
Linda
Guanzhong

As well as the sec 1s during campfire
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MEMORIES

The end has a new meaning in my heart
BAd News, NPCC has just unleashed 3 activities in a row, BLESSING parade, ATC camp and NCO camp
firstly, the blessing is extremely significant cuz the principal likes it, or else no one wld have remembered it. She is trying to sell it to the catholics by making it sound good. i mean who cares, why should sumone care when u just feel like lazing at home rite?? For the first time, Im part of the GUARD OF HONOR, but before u celebrate, i DONT know how to do rifle drills as well as the sec 2s.
I wanna cry
the ATC camp is going to hurt me as we are going to UBIN AGAIN, YAYAY !!!! there is going to be a wet activity this time and i dont feel like bringin anything wet back home. worse still, we cant bring any home clothes there, onli np or skool shirts. its still quite okay compared to the nco camp
I wanna run away
Now, the NCO camp is going to be the highlight of this year, cuz we get to run a campfire for the first time. but i scared we not up to standard. the whole nco camp will decide what post we get. that alone leads to many questions. What if i dont get the post i want?What if Im not up to standard? What if The understudy NCOs are better then me? I WILL push myself this time, i realli hope i can do it. Joey told us today that our squad has been weak from sec1 to now. its true but its very demoralising to hear from an officer. He told us that there will be CONFIRMED understudys. that means we were not good enough to run the unit by ourselves that we need help from others. I realli wanna prove myself during the camp, i dont wanna let my seniors down. I dont wanna let me instructors down. I dont wanna let myself down (i am so selfish) but i realli hope to prove sumthing during this camp. maybe im just not cut out to be a squad leader. I realli wanna cry if i dont get the post i want. what will happen after that? i dont know. I hope i can be more iniative for my np life from now on.
I wanna hide from all my troubles and wait till they go away
Help me......

PILLS, the world could definitely use less of them
They make children cry because of their bad taste
They make old people sick because of bad contents
They make aunties buy them because they are kiasu about health
They make men hate it because aunties make them eat it. See Above
They make ME hate it because of ALL the reasons above, except the auntie one.
In short, They just plain sucks.
oh ya, before i forget I HATE PILLS
You may be wondering why i wrote this. I have to take pills everyday, my mum forces me to take it because she says its healthy. The human body is capable of protecting and keeping itself healthy and working, so why do we need "health supplements" when its not necessary.
As I stared at the pills last night, I started wondering, What if they could create a DESTRESS pill? You take one and you are destressed. I dunno what your reaction would be, but i would most probably avoid it, possibly coz i dun develop stress like the rest of my 3 HUM classmates, thus im the 3humblacksheep. But still, sumthing that good will definitely have side effects and desperate people will deifinitely, i repeat DEFINITELY overdose and end up kicking the bucket.
So if it truly happens, there will be a huge craze over it, like the ones about slimming pills among three people, students, teachers and possibli workers. The teachers can abuse it during exam period like putting stress on the students and selling them at half price(just a thought).
But honestly, would studying really push you to such a desperate time that you will do things like pills?
Perhaps...

I LOVE BALL GAMES (no seriousli)

WTH mr guei nearli wanted to scold us for bargaining ,lucki mrs wong come out at that time then "tok" to us. then suddenli after that he sae punishment change to CWO but 1 hr onli. wah lao, i wanted detention lor. nevermind.

The worst has yet to come...
I will say a few words on behalf of the part of my brain which is capable of thought before it dies later on...
English : It would be much easier if it wasnt tested, HECK everything is.
but still, its much easier when Mrs. Hendra was marking my paper
Chinese : YAY no more studying. But now the lessons are real pointless
E Maths : My teacher can revise one topic in 15 minutes while I see other classes fainting in front of their txtbks. Okay so im exagerating
A Maths :
WHY do they include this subject in our syllabus
WHY cant i understand quadratic function
WHY dont i feel that A maths is easier than E maths
WHY cant i understand indices and surds
WHY isnt she responsible for my failure
WHY do they have to bundle our exam paper and show to our parents
WHY cant i understand everything else except matrix
Pretty much
Pure Biology : Our teach hates our class, till now i still dunno why. Why bio need so much memory work. pretty much everything is memory work which i am suckish at. And then theres practical. When the o lvls are over, im gonna tear or burn or sadistically get rid of the txtbk
Pure Chemistry : The teach should work at a polytechnic, but she doesnt the salary thats why shes stuck in our school. The subject is "grasp"able but need a lot of explaination which im also suckish at.
Pure Physics : Possibly my favourite subject if not for english or something else. This subject is rather easy to grasp has only a few formulas to memorixe compared to bio and chem. BUT there are hundreds of ways they can ask you the same question and there are many factors to include in your working.
Social Studies : Basically a very simple way to revise it
1) memorize everything from chpt 1 to 3 (a lot more than u think)
2) Study the different ways to write it
3) Write everything you remember into that format
so its simply memory (which i sick at) and reformatting
Geography Elective: I like this subject becoz...
1) No need for reformatting
2) Just dump it all on foolscap
3) There is sometimes a graph or chart to help you
4) ITS ONLY 45 MINS COMPARED TO HISTORY 1 HR 45 MINS
On a side note, I liek basketball( jus kiddin)
i just donned a new hairstyle some say is cool, some dont seem to notice it whatever
People around school seem to have pimples popping all over due to stress and whatnot

I need a sanctuary...
seriously...
woke up today feeling quite okay except for a little fatigue, must be getting old. Anyway, i was quite okay until i reached school. I started feeling very depressed and my heart was heavy, i couldnt explain it. It just happened. it lasted thruout the whole day during lesson time. The whole day was just very tiring, but i didnt feel compelled to sleep, i just felt that my heart was heavy, literally.
Lessons finalli over at 2.30. met up with adrian them. we were talking in canteen the whole time until fy joined us at about 4+. I was laughing at their jokes so hard i coughed all the way home. It was very wierd and i couldnt realli have a productive thought in my head.
Then as i was going home, i saw my bus pass me at the traffic light. so i decided to walk to the other stop quite far away, then a another 62 came as i just passed the road and there was no way i could run back. Unlucky right, the one time i decided to walk, they give me a reason i shouldnt. whats was even wierder was that i didnt feel angry or pissed off or anything, it just like faded away
I realli starting to lose control of mi mind and body.
dunno when it will end, hopefully soon....
im just so tired...
someone help me...

First law of holes: When in a hole, stop digging
a far off memory thats like a scattered dream.
i wanna line the pieces up
yours and mine
This song is very meaningful, at least to me
Sanctuary (Utada Hikaru)
In you and I there's a new land,
Angels in flight
A sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music will tie
What's left of me
What's left of me now
I watch you fast asleep,
All I fear means nothing
In you and I there's a new land,
Angels in flight
A sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music will tie
What's left of me
What's left of me
My heart's a battleground
You show me how to see,
That nothing is whole and nothing is broken,
In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
A sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music will tie
What's left of me
What's left of me now
My fears, my lies
Melt away...
If i ever get the mp3, maybe just maybe i will change the tune
Been having a lot of thoughts lately, never got around to blog about them, maybe later
maybe...
the video is extremely amazing
In contrast to the rather sad or low tone of whatever written above, if you have taken the time to read, some observations on life....
Enjoy
We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one
Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion
The best way to describe work, SSDD, Same Shit, Different Day
When you let things go by their own, they usually go from bad to worse
Any new solution brings by itself new problems.
It's useless to make something foolproof, fools are very smart.
Never assume malice when stupidity will suffice
This post was longer than i expected
I onli realised how tired i truly am, and this is 3 weeks before my exams, great
maybe theres a way....
maybe.....
