Camping tomorrow, a bit apprehensive...

Ah, less than 2 weeks before JC starts, and I am going camping with 2 of my NPCC mates, Seng Wei and Firdaus in Pulau Ubin. I do hope everything goes well. My parents are shit worried about me, guess I will have to watch myself over there just to be safe. Maybe I will talk more about it when I come back, if anyone bothered.

A bittersweet moment

It's been 2 days now since I got my results, I am quite satisfied. After all that nervous waiting (which caused me to throw up just before I got my results :P), my 'hard work' has finally paid off. A single digit score, without the CCA points giving me any assistance yet. Nice, even if I said so myself. My parents and extended family are happy for me, so are my teachers (not sure about Mr Angulia though, I got an A2 for Geog :(  ).

Amidst all this happiness though, there is some sadness. Not all of my friends did well for their exams, I rather not name them. Some shed tears of disappointment or worse. When my NPCC juniors and squadmates came to congratulate me, I was not exactly in the best of moods. How the fuck can one be if the people he cared about are not as fortunate as him? Self satisfaction is one thing, but if there are cracks in your circle of friends, any signs of joy are more or less fucked.

I know that they will get over their sadness, I really hope that they do. Right now, I will go around with my gang, checking out the JCs that I am interested in. After which, I will make the best of my holidays. I will have a shitload of things to do when school starts.

How does it feel to have an argument with your dad? Sickening isn't it?

I think you should know what just happened through the title. Nice timing, I am fucking worried about my results which will be released tomorrow, and I have a father-son cold war on my hands. Damn that asshole, and damn myself too, perhaps I have a part to play in this as well.

Waiting for tomorrow appears to be increasing the risk of me getting a cardiac arrest, a year's worth of any proper effort, and 4 years of schooling. I just hope I will do well.

Today was my 1st korean lesson, the teacher's funny, and I must admit, I had fun learning. It's still does not help me in my awkward position of being the only male in class though. Perhaps the homework assigned to me might distract me from all the shit that is going on right now.


Whatever it is, I want to get it over with tomorrow. The apprehension is KILLING ME!!!

1st Korean lesson!!! Tomorrow...

Yesterday was one hell of a gathering. Meeting up with my NPCC friends for a BBQ in East Coast Park,it was fun, more or less. Besides, I got to see Bhalaji's new "haircut". I returned home stinky, sweaty and with clothes filled with sand, but I had fun,  that's what mattered the most.

Tomorrow's the start of my 1st lesson in my $300+ Korean course, it better be worth it. Even then, I would have to leave early due to some bursary award ceremony that I need to attend, damn. It would be one hell of a rush then. Still, looking on the bright side, I am going to learn a new language, and I am going to be rewarded for doing well in my studies, so the situation's not too bad I guess.

Random thoughts typed out in Helvetica

An umbrella to the sun,
a torch to the moon,
a salute to the Captain,
perhaps to you too,

When boredom strikes,
no source of relief is seen,
for nothing can seek out this vicious fiend

Voraciously I seek,
a matching being,
a rightful companion,
to be in my two-man team.

Being with my gang,
shooting pixels which have no end,
Ironic isn't it?
That our fortes have yet to be bent.

Time flies like a jet,
glides like a ski,
speeds like a leopard,
and fucks things up like a human being.

Embarrassing moments come and go,
facets of life are these,
but if you see one happening right now,
STFU, cos' it's happening to me.

Family irritants, the bane of my life.

Read the title. GOD! Is my younger sister that fucked up?! Seriously, she does not take pride in her studies. In an effort to improve her geography, my mom actually threatened to cut her weekly allowance if she does not finish her geog. revision on time. Obviously she did, just like any soviet style construction project that was rushed, the result was one fucked up piece of crap that took absolutely no effort to conceive. I don't know, perhaps she is in a stage where she might grow out off, maybe. Bah! Enough bitching for now.

Yesterday was one hectic day, went to some fancy gym with Nabil and Firdaus in Suntec City, holy fuck, it was one hell of a place. With saunas and steams baths and a great view of the city skyline, magnificent. After which, we had no life and went into Marine Bay Sands to have a look at Nabil's workplace (I was supposed to work there, but the stupid agency had some administrative cock up), now, I WANT TO WORK THERE ASAP!

Fine, enough of that stupid nonsense, after MBS, Firdaus decided to bring us to The Sail@Marina, since he (aka his dad) has access there. God, the view there is BOSS from the 30th floor. Not to mention how luxurious the whole damn condo is. No wonder some of the people there seem to be a bit stuck up.

Ah, I better stop now, getting very late.

Last post

So I guess this is the last post of 2010, the end of a wonderful decade (maybe?) and the end of my four years as a Secondary School student (disputable but...nvm). This year was something to be amazed at. I studied as much as I could with my friends in preparation for the O'levels. I did as much as I could along with my comrades in NPCC during my last days as a Cadet/Cadet Leader. Participated with my UG friends during the Sec 1 orientation and the march combined UG camps. I also became the 1st RDA chairman, which was something I can be proud of, right?

Cherishing every moment that I had left with my friends in school and tuition posed a great challenge. Sounds hardcore, but having fun with as many friends as possible (I am proud to have accomplished that, more or less anyway) is something that would keep me up for nights on end, reliving those memories one by one. From my very first day in Bedok View, or even before that, when I got my posting in the school, to the last day of my O'levels, or that graduation party Josephine invited me and other nerds to. Loads of memories, in such a short time. The world's a strange place, but I love my life, and the people who revolve around it.

I am not sure what I would do during these last few hours, but I hope they will be fun. Happy New Year people. Peace out.
