this week has been full of ups and (very) downs. ok for those who care i've gotten over the recent incident already. it's just that somewhere deep in my heart there's still this bit of "不甘心" feeling. life's always unfair.
anyway on a brighter note, i've finally gotten my first guitar (on monday). finally can start learning from naraen and co.
yesterday i managed to head down to chuang yi bazaar to buy comics (like crazy). along with money spent on a bit of everything else, my spending this week skyrocketed and the amount i have left fell to an all time low. thank goodness i managed to borrow prom clothes or else i would have been broke by now.
marathon in 3 days...

"Just as the mist it rises Then vanishes way down the stream Mr Loh too has come and then left us Today it seems like a dream That he was so much part of our lives That he lived and loved as we do Like the fish that a fisherman threw Back in the stream to go on its way And that is what he is doing today To a bright new world, see the sun glitter As he drifts from sight, though our tears are bitter We know that he, like the salmon's leap Will always be there in our memories deep."
- From NJ's Track n Field
The faces, the tears, the prayers, the photos, the things we talked about, the sadness and sorrow portrayed it all. We'll definitely miss you, a lot. Like what thomas said, hope you're in a better place now Mr Loh.
Mr Loh: So how's your paper? Me: ok lor, not hard but not easy either. Mr Loh: that's good. so are you going to continue track in uni? Me: See first la, maybe not. I run for 6 years already, a bit sian la. Mr Loh: haha 6 years only ar, to really do well in something you need to train for at least 10 years you know anot. Me: Really ar. ok i'll see about it la. Mr Loh: ok, bye Me: bye
that was my last conversation with him....

the sky is crying...
damn it
this is all wrong.
aaron | 5:03 PM
are all girls troublesome? or most? (sorry not trying to be a sexist here but just wondering)
or rather i think it's just me who doesn't know how to handle this s***.
i need help...
ok i really shouldn't be worrying abt this crap now (yea crap). there're bigger issues out there.
i was flipping through the papers, and this is probably one of the few times i didn't start with the sports pages. suddenly the news of how sampras beat federer or how newcastle united lost 3-0 doesn't affect me anymore.
i wish i were in ndu right now at this very moment in time, so that i can fly over to cambodia to help in the rescue mission. and bring them back alive. damn it.
damn it.
yet all i can do now is pray. and not give up on any hope there is.
fragile ain't we?

it's been non-stop action since physics mcq ended on tuesday. wahahaa. i'm feeling damn tired now and it's only the third day since (the PCME) hell broke loose. and to think that i'm still going to play tennis with kx later! haha, i hope my body can take this.
oh before i go on, i thought stardust was nice, haha. it's like some fairytale though. like "and so they live happily ever after" that kind. but yea i enjoyed it.
but yesterday was the best. 4 hours of soccer (!!) at the cage. it was my first time playing there and despite the mega ulu-ness, i'm definitely going to go there again (and again x100). bascially the 'cage' is a room slightly bigger than a street soccer court with a synthetic soccer pitch and safety nets surrounding it. so i could chiong and fall without worries. the ball will never go out (that's why it's called the 'cage') so the only time i could rest was when the ball gets put into the back of the goal or when my team loses. imagine 4 hours of that! haha.
that was shiok.

so tmr marks the last day of jc life. i wont use the term hell because i know life after this ain't gonna be much different. or rather, i'm not expecting much. maybe when we step into society, it'll be a much fiercer battle out there. maybe, but whatever it is, just move along, move along i know you do. haha.
也许到时候,我们才会真正地领悟“弱肉强食”的意思。
it's funny how i feel now isn't wat i had expected a few months back. probably because i've slowly gone into holiday mood ever since maths ended. probably because life hasn't been much different yet. oh well, we'll see.
life without goals is meaningless. now that As are ending, i'm getting that feeling i got back when nationals ended. lost. i need something for me to work towards. that's life. well let's see, i shall list out some stuff for me to work on until i enter sembawang naval base in march next year.
-complete standard chartered marathon (at the same time train for ndu) -driving test (pass basic theory and final theory tests + complete most of the practical lessons) -work on my tennis (maybe i should aim to take part in inter-con competition after ns) -work on my manga drawing (might consider a career in character designing. wth then i go jc for what?!) -pick up guitar (electric or acoustic?) -hang out with friends as much as possible (work on my social skills haha!)
plus some random stuff i need to do:
-get my router fixed -borrow grad night clothes -get hooked on to some mmorpg (while waiting for final fantasy XIII) -finish watching claymore -start reading one piece (selwyn you happy now?)
ok what a list. but i have time cos i'm not going in in jan. haha! ok but for now have to focus on the final battle tmr (omnislash!).
30 Things To Do In An Exam When You Know You're Going To Fail It Anyways!
1. Get a copy of the exam, run out screaming "Andre, Andre, I've got the secret documents!!"
2. Talk the entire way through the exam. Read questions aloud, debate your answers with yourself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out, "I'm SOOO sure that you can hear me thinking." Then start talking about what a jerk the instructor is.
3. Bring a Game Boy (i think this thingy was written years ago, we have the psp now man). Play with the volume at max level.
4. On the answer sheet find a new, interesting way to refuse to answer every question. For example: I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it conflicts with my religious beliefs. Be creative. (I've attempted something like this before)
5. Run into the exam room looking about frantically. Breathe a sigh of relief. Go to the instructor, say "They've found me, I have to leave the country" and run off.
6. 15 min. into the exam, stand up, rip up all the papers into very small pieces, throw them into the air and yell out "Merry Christmas." If you're really daring, ask for another copy of the exam. Say you lost the first one. Repeat this process every 15 min.
7. Come into the exam wearing slippers, a bathrobe, a towel on your head, and nothing else.
8. Come down with a BAD case of Tourette's Syndrome during the exam. Be as vulgar as possible.
9. Bring things to throw at the instructor when s/he's not looking. Blame it on the person nearest to you.
10. As soon as the instructor hands you the exam, eat it.
11. Every 5 min. stand up, collect all your things, move to another seat, continue with the exam.
12. Turn in the exam approx. 30 min. into it. As you walk out, start commenting on how easy it was. (my favourite)
13. Get the exam. 20 min into it, throw your papers down violently, scream out "F*** this!" and walk out triumphantly.
14. Arrange a protest before the exam starts (ie. Threaten the instructor that whether or not everyone's done, they are all leaving after one hour to go drink.)
15. Show up completely drunk (ie. completely drunk means at some point during the exam, you should start crying for mommy).
16. Comment on how sexy the instructor is looking that day.
17. Come to the exam wearing a black cloak. After about 30 min, put on a white mask and start yelling "I'm here, the phantom of the opera" until they drag you away.
18. If the exam is math/sciences related, make up the longest proofs you could possibly think of. Get pi and imaginary numbers into most equations. If it is a written exam, relate everything to your own life story. (similar to 4, and i've tried it before too)
19. Try to get people in the room to do a wave. (it would be damn cool if possible)
20. Bring some large, cumbersome, ugly idol. Put it right next to you. Pray to it often. Consider a small sacrifice.
21. During the exam, take apart everything around you. Desks, chairs, anything you can reach.
22. Puke into your exam booklet. Hand it in. Leave.
23. Take 6 packages of rice cakes to the exam. Stuff at least 2 rice cakes into your mouth at once. Chew, then cough. Repeat if necessary.
24. (Censored)
25. Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About 5 min into it, loudly say to the instructor, "I don't understand ANY of this. I've been to every lecture all semester long! What's the deal? And who the hell are you? Where's the regular guy?"
26. Do the entire exam in another language. If you don't know one, make one up!
27. Bring a black marker. Return the exam with all questions and answers completely blacked out.
28. Every now and then, clap twice rapidly. If the instructor asks why, tell him/her in a very derogatory tone, "the light bulb that goes on above my head when I get an idea is hooked up to a clapper. DUH!"
29. From the moment the exam begins, hum the theme to Jeopardy. Ignore the instructor's requests for you to stop. When they finally get you to leave one way or another, begin whistling the theme to the Bridge on the River Kwai.
30. After you get the exam, call the instructor over, point to any question, ask for the answer. Try to work it out of him/her.

this will probably be the last time i'll be feeling that intense pain in my wrist.
just a bit more left...
highlight for what, got nothing la, HAHAHAHA.
even as you trip and fall while trying to clear that hurdle, for that split second when you're down, when you see that the other competitors catching up, that instinct, that desire to win will hurl up back up on your feet again. you'll surge forward towards the next hurdle. the pain from that fall seemed oblivious as more adrenaline rushes through your entire body. as you approached the next hurdle, you cleared it and summon whatever strength you have left to try and catch those ahead of you.
only 3 hurdles stand between you and the finishing line now...

Good Charlotte - Dance Floor Anthem
She’s going out to forget they were together All that time he was taking her for granted She wants to see if there’s more Than he gave she’s looking for
He calls her up He’s trippin’ on the phone Now he doesn’t want her out there and alone Now he knows she’s smiling and Knows she’s using it Now he’s losing it She don’t care
Everybody Put up your hands, say: ”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love” Feel the beat now If you’ve got nothing left, say: ”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love” Back it up now You’ve got a reason to live, say: ”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love” Feelin’ good now Don’t be afraid to get down, say: ”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”
He was always givin’ her attention Working hard to find the things she mentioned He was dedicated But most sucker’s hate it That girl was fine But she didn’t appreciate him
She calls him up She’s tripping on the phone now He had to get up And he ain’t comin' home now He’s tryin' to forget her That’s how we come with him When he first met her When they first got together
Feel the beat Feel the beat Feel the beat
You got nothing to loose, Don’t be afraid to get down
We break up it’s something that we do now Everyone has got to do it sometime It’s okay, let it go Get out there and find someone
It’s too much to be trippin’ on the phone here Get off the wire Now everything is good here Stop what you’re doin’ You don’t wanna ruin The chance that you got to Find a new one
Now you know what to do, so come on feelin' good

before you criticise others, walk a mile in their shoes. that way, when you do it, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
HAHA.
ok the battle continues tomorrow.
