Tryouts today was awesome (:



I finally could put a face to this J1 girl I've been texting and for a few days now, ever since I was tasked of calling them up to invite them for tryouts hahaha. She's cute and I'm happy. And it was particularly pleasing when I managed to get her into the team too. Whee.



CIP yesterday was tiriiiiiiing ): And I was fever-ish towards the end thanks to the walk to Sports Planet. But the whole House Rep thing went well. Slacked with Alastair and Sherry (from my junior class), and a few others. The mascot thing was settled by this J1 guy who seemed pro-y with Art so he was tasked with it. The cheering part was -_- because the J2s had no mood to cheer. The J1s were on a high thanks to orientation so they cheered and we won. Cougar won. It was hilarious because the J2s were stoning when it was our turn for the cheer competition and yet we won. ROFL.



Had KFC before walking around with gx, yinmin and yuting. Went inside some hair thingy shop because yinmin wanted to get some idk what it's called stuff for her hair. After, returned to the group, to settle gx's phone. Got a bit (insert random emotion here) so sneaked off (so inconspicuous) with yinmin. Talked for ages, and slept ( I slept la she was checking some stuff out) at Gramophone. Spent ages in the bus and MRT, had a little water-break session at Khatib hahaha before going off.



I swear that girl does the weirdest stuff around me. 1837246723 times she's fallen down around me I bring bad luck to her ):



I'm a cheapo but it's the little things that matter right (;



A day well spent.







Taken earlier at the soggy blackseeds pitch thingy at ECP after CIP.



Time to sleeeeeep.

I'm tired ): a quick post here.

Me, Wes, WB and Xin crashed the orientation finale hahaha. Wes took videos of me dancing (an epic fail moment) and it'll be up on facebook soon yikes. But it was fun, and Tritone won best Alliance :D

I just got off the phone with some people I was assigned to call regarding tryouts for Bowling this Friday. I don't know why I was assigned to call girls but hey I'm not complaining (:

We have CIP tomorrow I am super excited because it'll be at the beaaaaaaaach.

I'm not emo-ing D can you see me smiling? hahaha

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?"

Answer: that you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be? "

John Keating, Dead Poets Society (1989)

The end of another week (:

I was freaking tired and slept through Geog (which I thankfully don't take but sat in to do Maths...which I didn't do). I think this whole coming home late thing is seriously taking its toll and it sucks when I try to do homework but I end up being tired and sleeping and tutorials are incomplete. It's an excuse la I don't even do tutorials but it's A's this year ): and I want a decent set of results. I'm thinking...A for GP, aaaaaaand...okay haven't really figured out the rest. I'm thinking Cs and Ds hahahahaha okay no As and Bs.

I'm planning to like, stay back on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to do work and only come home when I'm done and just to sleep but selling the idea to the parents will be hard. Because they'll go "Why can't you do at home? It's the same thing". But I'll be tired and won't have the mood to do ): walao I hate my life.

My house is officially a hotel to me crap ):

And I have come up with a smart way to advertise my other blog. Later at the end you see kay got advertorial. I feel so smart I came up with that on my own leh. Gonna sign off my posts with that for quite a while so bear with the repetition.

I don't know why but I'm suddenly reminded of my Physics TYS ahahaha I should start on it tomorrow. And J1s are coming in next week how cool is thaaaaaat manzxszxs. And we have CIP!!! I'm not happy about the "Yay CIP I love contributing to the community" (that's partly the reason though I'm still civic-minded) but the real reason is because wez allz getz toz skipz skoolzxszxszx

Okay I'll see you guys soooooooooon.

; master bait

AND I GOT V's NUMBER FROM DEZHAN'S OGL NOTEBOOK THINGY I FEEL LIKE SUCH A STALKER HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH FML

And there was a blackout today halfway through Econs. I'm not saying that oh the school didn't pay the bills and that oh maybe the funds were used for the perming of someone's hair because that'd be libel and I'm poor as it is hahaha. Oh wait, I can clear this up. There was a blackout because the construction work going on for the hostel accidentally cut through the power lines. I am such a good PR guy lor I can be the spokesperson (y)

I need advice on how to prepare rabbit food so that I can eat that and like, lose 84736547174635423 kilograms. Don't worry Nadia you're still fatter than me.

And I'm trying to adevrtise my other blog because I update this one fairly frequently, and before you know it, the previous post would be gone and then no one would know the other blog exists hahahaha help me think of a way please.

; yellow

I don't know why I like yellow.

On a side note, I've been thinking, and made another blog. I'll still update this one of course, but the other one will be a sort of like an exclusive club? I'm not saying that oh I'm that famous, but there are just some things I have to say or get off my chest (heh breasts go on chests. Sorry I just had to say it) so that's where they go. And it'll be on an invite-only basis, so if you'd like to read, and find out some stuff about me which would probably ruin how you already see me, or probably make you say, "Ah I thought so", then go ahead, click the link below. Let me know via text or whatever if u want to be one of the readers.

If I don't accept your request, don't think that I don't think you're worth it. Rather, I treasure you enough to know that I'd rather be seen the way I currently am to you. And don't think that by me accepting your request, I think highly of you, more than I do those I don't accept. Rather, I want you to see that everyone has flaws, and that nobody's perfect.

*Sings Miley Cyrus' Nobody's Perfect* hahahaha

So go ahead, make my day.

And this is what I handed in. I know blue foolscap and purple ink is pushing it, but who cares. See my name hahahahaha I WIN.

Wan, who decided to read my blog again, was sharing this with me.

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
-- Captain Corelli's Mandolin

I guess love is in the air for two of my friends.

; amateurish

The first week of school passed by in a blurrrrr. I've been treating my house like a hotel (ie. Leaving in the morning, and returning home late at night to sleep) and I doubt it'll change. It's times like these when I think about my choice of tertiary education. But whatever la. I'll get through this year, and hopefully graduate with a couple of distinctions. Now that JAE's over, I'd like to take a moment to laugh at those who decided to opt for the JC route.

Enjoy GP and most definitely, PW (:

Open House was a bore. Plus I don't know why they decided to arrange it by CCAs. I mean, the whole point of Open Houses are to sell the school, and not the CCAs. Okay, you can set up a general info booth catering to CCAs but a better idea would have been to allocate booths to classes. That way, we'd be able to sell AJ better? I ended up selling AJ instead of Bowling to those who came to the booth I was at, because they asked about it? Yeah, once again, an epic fail to the organizing comm. But I'm sure they did their best, because if they hadn't, the Open House would have turned out much much worse.

Plus they're building a hostel adjacent to the school. I guess it sucks that every school I've been to gets involved in affairs like this, from PRIME Upgrading in primary and secondary school and now this. It's hard to not be affected, when you're no longer in Block 10, and lessons are mainly at Blocks 1 and 2 which is freaking beside the construction site. Our PD Tutor rocks though, about the only change this year which I like. GP is getting more and more annoying, and I'm just hoping to ace the upcoming assignment or test or whatever, just so I can claim that I'm good enough, which would allow me to zone out during classes.

On a side note, Edward doesn't sleep, so don't say that I'm sleeping during GP classes please.

An excerpt from D's blog:

"Hi my immature stalker. I'm doing karangan now. You good in Malay right why are you not online huh. ): "

It's funny how MY stalker thinks I'M the one stalking her hahaha. And she thinks I'm good in Malay hahahaha (y) Hello my oh-so-mature stalker. I've been really busy the past few days, which explains my absence :/ Why aren't YOU online now when I am?

Is it weird that I'm talking to her when she's in the same school as my sisters? hahaha

Now I've been talking to Anne the past few days because of her desperate need for company (read as high sex drive) and my presence was required for an analysis of her upcoming 8374645372th boyfriend. And that's just for this year hahaha! Okay kidding la. So the question I was posted with was: What do guys think is required in a relationship? Of course, the question was interspersed with random nuggets of her previous relationships which I shan't bring up. There's such a thing as friend-friend confidentiality. So anyway, let's discuss the question here.

It's funny how we were discussing this with the guys over dinner the other day after Open House haha. Now I won't generalise, but say it from my POV, so it may not really apply to all guys.

Now a relationship to me, is definitely something not to be taken lightly. Yeah, maybe that's why I've only been in one once? And definitely something not to be played with. Okay, I know we're young and all, and what's a little fun, but I see it as practice? hahaha I sound so olddddd in this 'dating' age but whatever. And let's not pretend la okay, getting physical is definitely on every guy's mind. It's funny how guys like me (and reklats) who are open-minded get frowned upon (actually we're worshipped) but the funniest thing ever is that we'd like girls we date to be the exact opposite of us. We are smart enough to differentiate between what is worth it, and what's just worth taking for a ride.

I'd like to see it as me wanting a girl I can talk to. I mean, sure, the whole physical thing is important, but I don't really like it? Who the heck likes being groped in public places? *points at random PDA-ing couples* oh, that's who. Talking is waaaay better, and yeah. Just someone to share how the day went, and to look together towards the future. Call me old-fashioned, but fuck you I don't want Herpes when I'm 17 thanks.

HAHAHA Abang was calling Starhub because the set-top box in the sisetrs' room was being ass-y and was put on hold with the automated voice going "Your call is important to us...our operators are busy at the moment" and Abang thinks the people can actually hear him, just that they're being retarded by not talking. So he's opted to shouting "HELLO ANSWER LEH" and "IF MY CALL IS IMPORTANT THEN ANSWER LA".

I'll talk to you guys sooooon (:

; mistaken identity

You know it's never a good thing when identities get mistaken.

1.

During GP lesson today. Is my name really that hard to pronounce? The tutor went "A...A...Okay this one very hard". Me, being the courteous and helpful student (seriously, I am) helped her out by going, "It's okay, you can call me Edward". Of course, I stopped short of going "Edward Cullen" but she eventually got the point of me helping her out and wrote a little note at the side of the name list, reminding herself to call me Edward. And she did, which was kickass (y)

2.

Economics. So we had a new tutor. And again, the mix-up over my name. And again, I helped him out. "The C in Achmad is silent, but I'm alright with it if you call me Jacob". Again, the little note at the side, to remind himself. And he went, "So Jacob, did you finish the holiday homework?"

3.

In our 2010 Student's Handbook, under the "Cheers and Rap" section, there was a cheer that went something like:

They call us Raffles
They calls us National
They call us Victoria
That's not our name

with the tune of That's Not My Name by ... yes I forgot the band. I keep thinking of Scissor Sisters, but I don't think that's the band? Oh right hahaha TING TINGS. I'm reminded of Yu Ting suddenly? Weird.

Honestly, would people confuse us for Raffles? That's a bit like confusing a radio for a screwdriver, a cactus for a vibrator...yeah you get the point. And National? Victoria? Have we no shame to think we are in league with them? Again, as with every cock-up pertaining to student affairs, blame the Students' Council. I would prefer (I sound condescending but who gives a damn) if they said ... okay never mind. I don't really feel condescending tonight.

Now congratulations to those who got their results. F and D (a bit weird to pair them up zomg) did well, though D was a bit unhappy. Oh well, it's just MT so it'll be fine. And I know you did your best so don't beat yourself up over it (: Nayzi did well too (TRUST ME YOU DID) aaand so did my boyfriends like Hadri, Afiq and Haiqal. And Matin. Who isn't really my boyfriend. My lover (:

Open house tomorrow and F is coming. A bit delayed because I only knew of it a few minutes back.

PE is waaaay too taxing. And what's worse is that Bowling come soon after. Practising 3- and 5-steps over and over and over again are annoying (not to mention tiring), and what's worse is that my thumb gets sore by the 6th frame. I should go buy the tape, and judging from Kah Wee's and Eugene's thumbs, it's safe to say most of us need the tape. Training finishes at 8-ish, and that's the end of Monday.

The best thing about the end of the day? It starts all over again the next day. FML.

On a more positive note, I stayed awake through ALL the lectures yesterday and today, including the Civics talk by the P.

To a friend of mine. I know it'll be hard letting go, and I'm not asking you to, but I'm asking you to consider what'll happen if you don't. I hate seeing you beat yourself up over it. I know you have that perfect little story going on in your head, about how it should be, but that isn't how it will be. Because you and I both know it's never worth it when at the end of the day, you spend the night moping and wondering why it didn't turn out the way you want it to be. It'll be hard but I'll be here, because...just because.

And that's about it (: I'll talk to you guys again soon.

; hello i hate school thanks

It sucks ass when you're cramming holiday homework on the day before school starts hahaha. I haven't bothered to start (for some) or finished (for the rest) so it's safe to say I'm screwed. But who gives a shit seriously. I've always maintained the whole "HOLIDAY IS FOR HOLIDAYING" policy and it will not waver just because it's A Levels. Seriously. On a side note, I just realised there's a Lit quiz tomorrow, and I haven't finished Housekeeping (Marilynne Robinson) which is -_- considering the quiz will be on that and Oranges by Jeanette. HOLY SHIT I AM SO SCREWED FML.

So now I'm trying to cram (I spelt it initially as cramp hahaha) sparknotes, though it's a relatively pathetic attempt. I mean, who the hell can remember what transiency and dissimulation has to do with Housekeeping, like 12 hours before the quiz? lolwut. I think I'll wrap up the cramming and hope that Oranges is enough to pull me through.

I don't get the rationale for having tests on the opening day of school. Or having holiday homework due on the first week. The education system is way too rigid (remember the 7 year old Irish-Malay kid who aced A Levels and his dad complained because the system sucked?) and allows no slacking. Okay not even slacking. Rather, a specified time period for our minds to rest.

I know I make friends easily (ego ftw) but it's kind of cool when it's someone from a girls' school? I know I'm opening her up for stalking by you lot, but I don't really care la. I'll use an anonym for her, so it'll be...D. D will be taking her MT results tomorrow, so if you calculate correctly (you better be able to you H2 maths freaks) she's in Sec 4 this year lol.

All the best to those getting their results tomorrow! :D

HAHA and all the best for me too (:

FML I HATE SCHOOL.

; you're weird go away

Sam put this up and omg! We really have come a long way from last year *proud* Okay not like I had anything to do with this right -_- but whatever omg BPNCC whoosh! Fearless we go, honour we show! Okay I had something to do with this. I trained them when they were small cute cadets *proud* (again)

I've only been watching MTV and AXN Beyond for the past few days. I don't know how many times Lady Gaga's Bad Romance has been playing. Mama heard it and annoyingly decided to sing it hahaha but she isn't tone deaf like me (y)

Abang got admitted to the hospital a few days ago for some "tonsillitis + fever + throat infection" combo. Which is -_-. And mama said he became like that because he hasn't been eating fish hahaha ya right lor! pfft.

Okay I'll update properly when I can I'm kind of busy now.

O Level results out tomorrow omg!

All the best F (:
