Studying is a force that bonds many together- think classmates, coursemates, schoolmates, CCA mates, random people you meet in the canteen, etc. It is a necessary experience everyone goes through and sadly, its the one common topic of us all : "Hows school", "What combi do you take", "Hows your midyears", "Hows your school". Essentially, it encourages cooperation between all, the need for peer support and aid.

Yet, after all that talk about how we should help each other, we are competitors. (Just an example) I want MY future. If you get yours, great! If not, it doesnt affect mine after all. I know it sounds crudely selfish, but face it - not one would give their A to you. Its all about me, me, me. How I want to learn and how my teacher and class should cater for ME. Will anyone feel guilty about messing up my As, and will I feel guilty if I mess up anothers?

So I've been thinking what its gonna be like when we return for our results. With some of the future of our friends inevidably on the rocks, willl we celebrate for our own or do the nothing we can to make the other feel better? If I cant get into the university, will you feel/share my sorrow? And most imporatantly, vice versa. I never want to face this ugly situation where facades are torn. Are we really the products of the 'selfish' education system?

Its a losing battle here, but I really hope not.

I'm not in the stablest of mood now, so blogging about my awesome day will take backstage for now.

Shimmer smudges in the summer sky

We should do more class lunches sometimes, I doubt it'll be something that peppers our lives in the future. Today was alright, save for the tensions running amok due to the fight over Christianity.

Start panicking NOW! the prelims are NINETEEN days away. And damn, I have to still worry constantly about GP lessons. The joy of my GP lessons has fallen to an all time low.

Keith and Jemmy deserves a nice big thank you for being ever so nice! :D

What would I give to run my fingers through your hair.

Enjoy 18 capsizee!

Tell me what you thought about when you were gone and so alone

We thrive on memories, for good times and bad times. I realized that Harry, Ci and I always wander back to the past, and somehow, the drunk memories and certain bad taste would come out. Today was good and funny and mellow.

See, everyday I tell you its a good day, and it really is. But why do I spend most of my time having a good day and right at the end deciding that it was imperfect anyway?

If a relationship starts to produce either excessive costs or negative externalities, maybe its time to take a step back. So easily said, so much harder to do.

Sometimes, we need more than words. They weren't wrong to say that words are cheap. Promises don't mean a thing unless they are fulfilled, regardless of how much you meant them at that point of time. Its sad how sometimes we say so much and mean so little. And how what our words fall short off can really eat another alive.

I was comforted today, really. :)

Is having a good character is the most important thing? It should, but to be painfully honest, I doubt most of us honestly believe in this very strongly.

Harry - What has my understanding of agape got to do in the larger schemer of things?

Everyone hides the darkest shade of fear.

I wear a Viva La Bam shirt even though a few days agao I barely had an idea what Viva La Bam was about. And So there. (:

I dont believe in if you love him, let him go. Its just a nice excuse for wiping him clean from your memory. I also dont believe that my badminton is mere condo-standard. I was just rusty. (:

We had great fun playing badminton today (the prelims didnt bother us one bit). ((: I believe the great trashing by Keith boosted his ego a little, but the work out was very very much needed.

Haha, its ironic really, how 2 minutes ago I completely meant the (:-s that I used.

The As are my great big defensive barrier. Everytime I feel terrible, or feel the great need to do some irrational thing or another, I use the As as a great excuse to keep them in. Here, I call for some RSSP understanding.

But then I thought for just awhile a few seconds ago - What I am really going to do with the end of my As?

And of course, the answer was " Concentrate on your As first and worry about that later".

Haha, I really do spend quite alot of time thinking my odd thoughts in that cycle.

You're unsuited for the rage of war

If I had a store of happy days for the whole of my life, I think its depleting at an amazing rate these days. I caught myself humming the happy Zip-pa-dee-do-da song yesterday and it was well, surprising.

I always wondered why all of us werent allocated certain number of specific-mood days for our lifes. Like a set of happy days, sad days, rich days, funny days, embarrasing days, greedy days, unexpected days, etc etc. Then we'll always be prepared for whatever that comes our way. Life would be so much simpler, would it not? But then again, thats something life was never meant to be (think : maths).

Plenty of sunshine, heading my way, Zip pa dee do da, zip pa dee yay! I dont see how next week can be a terrible week with the shortened timetable. I cannot emphasize enough how that shortened timetime seems to glow with happiness everytime I set eyes on it (:


More happy Wednesdays break to come!

And we love the SKG!

When your friend gets a new Mac, its time to take many many happy pictures with his photobooth (its "better than a neoprint machine!" (Limin) ) haha, so we had tons of fun trying to make our eyes look big and seeing what we look like in comics. Kudos to Daryl!

How I love the way you smile and the sparkle in your eyes.


I am completely in love with the shortened timetable all set to go next week. (: I've been smiling at it adoringly the whole night. (However, if I'm Yan An who has to come to school even on Tuesdays when I have no lesson except for Mass Civics, which is just as useful as yellow pens, I'll completely hate the unfairness of it all. And rebel by not come to school as well.)

I dont believe that if I halt all activities on MSN or blogspot I'll do anything productive with the time I save. (Refer to the above paragraph on what I did the whole of last night).

Be who you are without a care for what others might think or say as those who matter dont mind and those who mind dont matter. Sadly, we usually care and are affected too much by those who dont matter. Is that not why you talk about you 'hot' target/ex with such pride and feel most upset when the next random stranger comes along and tells you you're stupid/fat/ugly/lousy. Hey, you may be so, but you deal with it on your own terms. Getting affected by another is plain weakness on your part. (Irony here : you think this is crap but you decide to believe it anyway) The bottom line is we all need to be a little more honest with ourselves and less copies of the stereotyped model that we all are 'supposed' to be.

That said, I dont deny I'm not strong all the time.

Its funny to me -
How far you are, how near you seem to be

I think I've exhausted all my good days for the month. :D

For the first time ever, Changtai, Shenglong and I were all penniless for about 1 hour until the ATM machine appeared. (:

z says:
when did they sing don't say you love me? ( in the Pokemon movie)
z says:
pikachu to ash?
I can make you all the promises thats ever been made says:
THIS IS DAMN DUMB BY THE WAY!
I can make you all the promises thats ever been made says:
it doesnt fit into the stoy line
I can make you all the promises thats ever been made says:
and beside, pikachu cant sing
z says:
he can
z says:
just that he can pronounce the words

Oh the intelligent things we eighteen-seventeens old talk about. ((:

Enjoy an eighteen of your own Gen Gen!

A thousand different voices,
Sing in harmony

Its only 21 smiles, but its a start.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE,
I LOVE YOU
!

(: (Its an apostrophe by the way. )

I wanted to post up the video of the supermen of thirtyfive, but I found my screeching too irritating, so get it from me if you want. Its funny how our class seems really class-like just over night (:

But the day went along completely unexpectly great. ((:

Peps(Harry) and (Me) Spice (Ci) !



Wong Ci's pregnant belly.

We had to have a National Day's eve's eve feast (it didn't turn out to be much). The pig out session at pizza hut was a semi-treat from Ci and the plan was to stuff ourselves silly. Pity it didn't quite work out cause the guys sure can eat. The 4-5 person meal wasn't quite enough for them.

Talking about the yesteryear fondly as the prelims creep up on us seem like a very inappropriate thing to do. At least we had decent fun (:

But I don't deserve to lose my freedom in this way


This neoprint gave me one of the bestest laugh of last week. Completely picture worthy! (:

Irony is all around. I wont say I'm matured and all, and my skills of analysis and evaluation is laughable for a history-lit student. But yes, I think I'm in a good enough position to laugh at you. Yes I really do think so.

I study so hard everyday its no wonder my myopia rockets sky high. All in a bid to beat you Harry. And for studying 18 hours a day, I barely do okay/poor in school. Yup I'm actually really dumb. Now don't you feel awesome about yourself. (:

Alicia - Lao er!! haha, things could be worst! and I love reading all about Video-Ezy!

My red tie with cars


I wanna tell everyone that my darling is the best darling there ever was so all of you quick turn green in the face! ((: hahaha, the thing was, we both pluck at our little toenails until it bleeds and half of it is on the floor ( A little gross, we know ) then our toes will hurt like hell for a few days. So yesterday, both of us did that gross (but really therapeutic) act and so today our toes hurt like mad.

BUT! My darling bravely lent her larger sized shoes so to me so that my toe wouldnt ache!!! Awwwww, arent you all just so touched? How many friends you know would endure a whole day of squashed-up, aching, excruciating little toe just for you? ((: I love you darling!

I'm dead serious about the spinning top

I officially declare ZEBRA HALL as the best website on the entire world wide web!!! Its like TheBetterToyShop at Taka only better because EVERYTHING in it is a dream come true. ((: If you should meet the problem of not knowing what to get your friend for her birthday, have no fear forevermore!

A word of caution, the website is based in the US (dont worry, theres vCONCIERG here) , so it may be a good idea to start buying early, like one month in advance.

Just what I always wanted!! :D

Love makes the world go round.

No more excuse to forget homework!
