abt myself
Me? A pretty talkative person, haha!! I love playing computer games, particularly because I love cars. I am not a very good subject opener when I'm in conversation, so basically when you talk to me, there'll be some moment in silence, and a few seconds later, I'd talk about absolutely nothing in common that we just spooke, haha!! That's why I'm a boring person, if I get to describe one of my attributes. My English ain't that great either, so that's probably one of the main reason... =P
[To all my indo peeps (others can read as well.. Hope u guys can understand too, heh!)
Heh.. abt gue? gw org ya ma bosen punya, haha! gw seneng main computer, gw jg suka mobil! gw paling ga suka buka topik kalo bicara.. mankanya tu gw orangnya tu bosan. gw tuh juga perlu orang buka topic buat gua juga.. kaloo nga cuma gw tanya ini ono.. ya bosan la tentu, haha! sori ya, blognya bahasa inggris. bahasa gw dah hancur bangat, dah 10 taun di S'pore, haha!!]

O's!!!!!
For the first time in 2 years I woke up this early.. The last time I woke up this early was to take the first train to Dunman Sec where I had to be in school by 7.15. NOTHING different for today, 'cept for the occassion, which is not VERY MUCH anticipated.. -_-
Thing is, it's not that I wanted to, it's that I'm kinda forced to. For this past few days sleeping with peace has somehow been disturbed by nightmares of the big O's. I've been feeling so guilty to have been playing too much this year.. REALITY CHECK: The O's are starting today!! It was only around May that I got my O level schedules, and I told myself, I still got plenty more time, and before I knew it, the O's are today!! Time just flies by so fast.
I hope all the tuitions, group studies on the weekends and the extra courses outside will be put into place when I take the exams. I don't wish to have wasted so much money and nothing gained in the end. Anyways, I'm gonna stop here, got a few more hours left before I have to report to CCK Sec for my Chinese paper today. I'm temporarily gonna stop blogging for the next 2-3 weeks 'til my O's are done and over with. Until then, to those reading this who are taking the national exams this year: ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR O'S, A'S AND TEE'S!! JIA YOU!! =)
Good luck people!! =)P.S: Before I forget, HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY YU QiN! Sorry to have forgotten to send you a greeting message yesterday. I hope you're doing fine.. Good luck in everything! =D

happy 17th birthday marcus!! =)
Hello!! Woh.. What a week it has been!
First off: Happy birthday Marcus!! Hoped you enjoyed the day!
Well, his birthday was yesterday actually. But I was too exhausted to blog last night.. =p
The day starts off meeting Isaac, Lyana and Eileen at Yishun's Northpoint to get Marcus a birthday cake. We eventually chose the cake that they bought for me, haha!! After that we headed over to Marcus' place to give him a surprise visit. Then after some talking, we decided to 'surprise' him with the birthday cake. Made his wish, and blew the 17 candles. While eating our cakes Isaac shared some stories from his Outward Bound: Brunei trip he had a couple of years back. Well, to the girls it sounded boring, haha! But it was quite interesting to hear, and funny too, LOL! After that came the fun part: WATER BOMB!!!!!!! YESH! It was so fun! We managed to get Marcus to fall for the dead cat, and I threw the first one on him. YAY!! Heh! After that we all got wet and joined along. We played for about an hour plus, and it was raining while we played it! LOL!! How daring, righr? Haha! After that we took a slight break, talked and joked, and the day ended by going to Esso petrol kiosk to get Bicardi, which was on promotion, I think.. One bottle was way cheaper than before, less than $4. After that Marcus went off for a nice dinner with his parents. =)
Happy birthday once again bro'! Hope you had fun and enjoyed the day today, even if the celebration was at home! =)

Heyallow! Woah.. Almost a week since I last posted, and it was during my birthday, haha! I got a capo and some other guitat stuffs, courtesy of Marcus, Alan and Isaac. They got it for me as a present for my brithday. Thanks guys!!! =)
And speaking of birthday, happy 18th birthday James! Hey, hope you're doing OK. Two years since we last seen each other. I miss Dunman school days man! Hope to see you soon, and good luck in school!! Happy birthday once again! =)
Moving on...
Well well, I remembered telling you guys that I'll show you guys a picture of my guitar. Well, here it is! Sorry to have taken so long..
And speaking of guitar, enjoy this AMAZING acoustic performance from Hoobastank. Song's called 'Crawling In The Dark'. The song's nice. But pay attention to the guitarist. Not that I'm saying the singer ain't good, 'cuz he is. But the guitarist is just beyond words!!! So many patterns of strumming and barring in one song!!! WOAH!!! *jaw drops* OK OK.. Enjoy!

i'm 19!!! is it bad or good? =p
Wow!! First time in soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long, I got to celebrate my 19th birthday. Yes, I'm getting old....... =p
Anyways, school was pretty good today. Until one point of time when I went to CMS room and they immediately started talking in Hokkien dialect. Marcus, Nicole, Alan and Isaac were talking, and I didn't know WTH they're saying, LOL!! I knew they were up to something, but I just wasn't really sure 'cuz I don't even know what they were evn talking in the first place, haha! But anyway, after school dismissal, all of us, including KC, Inez and Tasha, went to Bukit Panjang Plaza to play some bowling. It was darn fun! My second time playing it, and I managed to strike ONCE!! YAY!! I'm so happy, LOL!! We played two games of it. Alan, Marcus, Nicole and Isaac teamed up together to take on Tasha, KC, Inez and myself. We were leading until we lost momentum and they took the lead. We never gained it bacl. The other team won eventually, haha!! Well done guys! ;)
After bowling we went to Mac's, where all of them gave me a surprise birthday cake. They sang the birthday song in 3 languages: English, Chinese and Bahasa Indonesia. Haha!! After that, made my wish, blew the 19 candles, and cut the cake. The cake was delicious by the way!! It was chocolate.. After that it was some photo taking sessions, and my face got whacked by BIIGG slice of the cake, LOL!! It was definitely well planned, of course, by none other than dear Nicole, heh! Nice one Nic..
After all the fun for the day, we headed on our different directions while Tasha, Inez and KC went studying at Bukit Panjang. Nicole, Alan, Marcus and I took 171 to Yishun together, and while in the bus, the gave me another surprise: A guitar book, an acoustic guitar capo, and a pyrex glass, for doing bar chords. Have yet to try it though, but I will soon.
Once again to everyone who sent me greeting messages, and especially to the people who were involced in my birthday surprise, A BIG THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!! It's been so long since I last celebrated my birthday, and this has been the most meaningful one ever. Thank you for making today such a memorable day! You guys ROX!!! I'll definitely cherish it.. TERIMA KASIH!! =)

URRGH!! I'm getting so agitated! I can't believe I;m actually pressuring myself for the O's.. Don't be surprised if you see wrinkles on my face next week. ^_^
Anyways, the weekend has been fun. On Saturday went to TPMC to go study with Marcus. Lydia and Alan came shortly after. We had a great time studying together. We even got some tips from the JC2 Lydia herself on how to study smart. Hee!! About 6+ we left home while Alan went to practice for Sunday's church service. Lydia and I went to take the train together. We talked quite a lot. But it had to be cut short since we're going different directions. =p
Today my brother brought me out for dinner at Sakae Sushi. It's been quite long since we had dinner outside. This week has been really good for me, 'cuz I get to talk to him and spending more time with him also. Despite our differences recently, we still managed to have a good time laughing and talking together. Sigh.. Wish I could do this more often with him. Thanks for the dinner once again Rendy bro! =)
School's tomorrow. Can't wait to see what Monday brings.. Hope it'll be a good day tomorrow. Ciao!

20 more days to O Level exams, with the Sciences Practicals to kick it off.. Life's just getting more and more flooded with thoughts of the O's, and the more I think of it, the more I get worried, and getting me all stressed up. Making sacrifices wasn't as easy as I thought it'd be, and temptations are just so hard to resist.......... GRRR!! -_-
Just signed up for CHC's tuiton for Maths. I hope it'll be productive. I won't say that I did well for Maths. In fact, I need help, MAJOR help, along with Physics and Accounts. For Humanities is all up to me to read it all myself, especially Geography. Well English mark wasn't really expected to get so low, a B4. I expected a B3 and above, but the summary pulled it all down. ARRRHHHH!! I just hope the O's won't be as hard as the prelims. As far as I know, prelims are usually tougher than the actual thing. But it still doesn't mean that I don't have to put effort in my prelims, or the O's for that matter.
To all my peeps who're taking the O's, Ausmat and A's this year: All the best guys!! Bring it on! Hehehehe!! =)

happy birthday Laura! =)
Well well well.. Back to update again. First things first:
HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TO LAURA! Hope you enjoyed the day..
Anyways, this afternoon went to Boon Lay Library to go study with Isaac and Anna. It's so freakin' hard to find a place there! Never thought the library would be so packed with hardworking sutdents after school dismissal! I felt so guilty all of a sudden, LOL! So we just settled on the floor. After studying for about an hour or more, went to meet up with Laura, Alan, Rachel and Airell to celebrate Laura's birthday at a quite obscure, yet interesting place. In fact, I never knew that place exists, LOL!! After that I left the earliest 'cuz I had to meet my curfew.
ANYWAYS!! BACK to reality!!!
The O's are getting soooooooo freakin' near!! I'm feeling the pressure.. It's like, everytime we go out study, I'd actually feel a bit bad to leave, because time is really running out. Haiz!! Hope I'll pull it through..
