Come Sweet Death

I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought I could
live for no one else
But now through all the hurt and pain

Its time for me to respect
the ones you love
mean more than anything

So with sadness in my heart
(I) feel the best thing I could do
is end it all
and leave forever

What's done is done it feels so bad
what once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
My world is ending

I wish that I could turn back time
cos now the guilt is all mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love and pride
because of that its kill'in me inside

It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down
tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down
letting me down

In my heart of hearts
I know that I called never love again
I've lost everything
everything
everything that matters to me, matters
in this world

I wish I could turn back time
cos now the guilt is all mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love and pride
because of that its kill'in me inside

It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down
tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down
letting me down
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down
tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down
letting me down

I hate you

Humans are stupid people. They waste time on things like emotions, games, leisure, relationships. These things reduces human's efficiency rate. Human's kill each other. Yet they feel shocked, appalled, petrified, aghast, dismayed, when an animal is cannibalistic. Why? Humans are the only large scale killers, ranging from plants, animals, humans, as well as the earth. So, humans are stupid. I happen to be one, so I'm stupid too. To be as non-human as possible, I decided not to spend too much time on leisure, which means I start working now. Nah. Too lazy. Basic human nature. Sad. People play games which kill other people, like CS, WoW, Call of Duty, and others that I do not know of. I play lf2.5, so it means I'm still human. Sad. Games is the same thing. Emotions. Something seriously redundant. Sadly everyone is born with it. How I wish I could be void of all emotions. It would increase my efficiency rate by 80%-90%. However, it is not possible. Even autistic, Asperger's stricken people have emotions, fear. Anyways I already lack some emotions. Relationships. The origin of relationships was for the reproduction of humans. Without it we would not be here. However, relationships in school can sometimes be a total waste of time. After 1-4/no. of years in the rest of your life, that's the percentage of time you spend with your friends. So, for e.g. you waste that time with your friends. How much less would you accomplish than if you did not have friends. So, looking foward to my future (O-levels), I am going to stop making anymore friends, for they stir emotions, waste time talking reducing your efficiency rate further. So from the last day of December onwards, I will not make any NEW friends. I will cut any relationships with some stupid people. I hate them. SO, I'm not going to waste some people's time thinking, OMG is it me!!?? I am insignificant. You don't have to bother about whether I like you or not. Your life would still be the same. SO, DON'T BOTHER. One less person wouldn't affect your life.

I don't really want to blog here anymore. Cos I want to cut some ties. But I'm gonna blog in my anime blog, which is in the links, and I'm not gonna blog any personal life stuff there. So if you dun like anime dun bother wasting your time. I dun want to slow you down...

The Story

2007-08-17T17:49:00.000+08:00

Hello. This is a story. With cunning people. This is how it goes.

There were 7 people. An actor, betrayer, lover (who liked the director), a guy, his friend, a director and a loser (who is a fan of the actor).

The actor was a Superstar. Everywhere he went, people loved him. They would forget all his flaws and treat him like a star. He had a best friend, the betrayer. They had been best friends for a long time. One day, the actor was influenced by a guy. He soon became best friends with the guy. Hence, he just threw the betrayer away like a piece of rubbish, not caring of his feelings. The actor started to get more influenced by the guy. And he told some of his secrets in which he had never told the betrayer about before. The guy was apparently appalled, discovering the negative sides which were mostly cancelled out by the media. The actor never really treated guy like a best friend. Guy became a little paranoid, so he didn't really trust the actor. Being paranoid was right, as once the actor met up with his fans, he would leave Guy far behind. The actor said that guy was his best friend, but did he treat him like one? No. Actions sure speak louder than words. The actor also respected another guy, who was the Director. There was also someone who liked the director. It was really quite obvious. He was the lover. The follower was quite a social guy, so he caught the eye of the actor. And before you know it, they were really good friends. As guy didn't really trust the actor much more, they slowly drifted apart. And so, Betrayer got closer to the actor again.

One fine day, the director was walking around and the actor saw him from afar. Then suddenly, many bodyguards surrounded him, allowing no one to look through. This happened a couple of times. So the actor spread some rumors, saying that the director was paranoid. Of course walls have ears and this reached the ears of the director, who was rather shocked at this, as he thought the actor was a nice person. This blew the actor's cover, but the director did not do anything to him. The lover, whom the actor also told to about the director, was angry because of the comment and told the actor off. The actor apologized soon after.

Some time later, there was a fansite made by someone who did not really like the actor. It impersonated the actor. No one knows how true or false it was, however, one thing was sure. It made an impact. The betrayer apparently was told of the site. And so he betrayed them to tell the actor. The actor took action and talked to the author about it. They said that they would keep it to themselves. But... Did the actor keep his promise. No. So many people were informed of it. People started disliking the author. And to gain sympathy, the actor acted again. And the so called "Alliance" was formed.

The lover was also told of the site. And reprimanded the actor about it again. So there are now two sides in the story. The actor's side, and all those who had been "attacked" by the author. So they formed a different society. But alas! Disaster struck. There was a misunderstanding between 2 members of the society , mainly the lover and Director. It was because of a technical error in the communication links. This resulted in one of them thinking that he was ignoring him, but it was not true! It was because even though they responded, the message did not get through, resulting in the mess. However, lover seem as if he didn't love Director after all, because lover kept scolding Director and accused him with no facts and without clarification. So the next time they communicated, it was not such a happy sight. Lover regretted scolding Director, and wanted to take his words back. But it was too late. Why do humans regret?

So now, people dislike the author and the actor thinks he's right. Yah, to a certain extent. But do Catholics learn to backstab and lie. You have definitely lied. You can't deny. I know it all. But who you lied to, no one knows, except for God and you. You either lied to me or someone else. And is your maths that poor. You're embarrassing your primary school, which taught you the foundation of maths. Is 1 or 2 alot of people to you? You told people. And know you're throwing it on me. Why? Think about it...

The End...

Chobits

2007-08-08T14:36:00.001+08:00

Yo. Today is National Day Eve. So gotta go to school at 6.45. Nothing much to talk about there. Played the piccolo. Yay. Blah blah Blah.

Come back home watched some anime. I just found a new place to watch anime. Yay. its at tv-links.co.uk. So I watched Chobits.

Ganesh went insane

2007-08-07T15:18:00.001+08:00

Yesterday, Ganesh went insane. Haha. "Don't show me attitude!!!" "Come here now!!!" "Don't question my authority!!!" I was laughing all the way man. Many other classes in the same level also heard. Then still got his famous "Boys are still talking/laughing" as well as "I want you to get the question wrong first. Then you can learn from you mistakes." And so I was laughing all the way. In the end I got to learn all the Maths topics on my own. Haiz... Then I left my file in the Band room. So suay sia. Somemore some of my Maths WS and Maths Base Test is in the file lor. Then its like I can't passup lah. So if he wants it signed, I can only hand my Maths file to him next week.

Today first period is English. Go library. Yay. So I just read some Condor Heroes comics. I saw the one I read on TV. How ironic. Then I go scan my yamaha card at the book returning machine. So they told me to go to the front counter to scan the book. Uh huh. Then as I was leaving, I saw Luke hiding under a table. I was like omg. Retarded sia. Don't care him. Then was Art. Cos I left my file in the band room and forgot to ask ppl got what lessons, hence, I forgot to bring my Art stuff. Anyway, my fantasy tree sux. So, drawing a new one would be better. So I drew. I drew a pink tree with colour pencils as branches. Then Ms Chua (so old still not married) said my toning is quite good. At least I recieved some sort of encouragement. Then she is like teaching a kindergarten lor. Split our class into 4 groups. I was like lol. Then want us to keep quiet go say 1, 2, 3. Worse ah. She name our groups according to the chairs we were sitting on... Nevermind.

Recess. I went to buy the Maths Ring file. Supposed to buy in Term 1. Haha. Then quickly finish rushing my maths hw. Cos I forgot to bring back my Maths textbook.Then Poh come in. Then he show some of the same vids. So we give the same comments and ask the same qns. Haha. He's quite a good teacher lor. Not too picky. Also gives us extra notes to copy down. Chinese lesson I go recite my Rao Kou Lings again. Zhong guo qiao, qiao guo zhong, zhong guo qiao guo zhong, zhong qiao guo qiao zhong. Haha. See how fast and clear you can say this. I created in you know. Must say with a China accent. Anyways, Alex can't say. And whenever he says it he will act China. Talking about China... The Gaoxing No.1 High School left this morning by buses. Which made me realise that mainly Zhong Guo Ren speak to Zhong Guo Ren. Cos the China teacher from our school was the only one I saw saying bye to the China students. Then last time during recess some of our school China ppl go talk to the China China people.

After Chinese then was Mths. I was like a bit scared. Anyway nothing big. My pythogras theorem WS was in my file, as a result I didn't have it. Luckily I already did some self assesment of the theorem, cos I didn't really catch what Ganesh was saying. Busily counting how many times he said "Some boys are still talking" 7 times. So I then taught Keith how to do a bit of it and I just copied down on my foolscap. Anyway, how to spell foolscap. Is this the correct spelling? After Maths was Geography. Nothing much. Then lessons ended. Told Joel and Sean to go to IT lab. They say wanna wait for me. Cos we need to do podcast. And some people saved songs on their iTunes. For e.g. Fields of Hope (Rie Tanaka (Lacus Clyne)) was taken from there. So I wanted to find more songs. Anyway, I'm gonna find her songs now. In the end, the mac lab was closed so I couldn't find songs. Sad.

On the bus I fell asleep. Cos very tired. Anyway woke up in time. Then come down the bus saw a chio bu. Which brings me to a point. From my experience, most of the Nanyang girls aren't chio, accept for the one I used to like, just that I think she's grown to fat for my taste, which actually isn't fat. Which school got the most chio ones? I dunno. Too bad. I only take a few buses. I don't go around Spore during school dismissals you know? That's all for now.

The End...

So long haven't blog sia. 1 month.

Last night I had a dream. I dreamt I had a laptop. Its not a macbook. So sad. Anyways, I did not know what brand, but it was a rather good one with a blue wallpaper. Then I wanted to use it and my mother was using it. And my father's laptop was also beside her. So I said that I use the good laptop cos I need to use on playing games. Then the dream ended. Stupid dream. Oh ya. I just came back from J8. Went to Popular to buy some pens. Then recently I love Ninja games. The Rudolph in Lf2.5 sux. so lousy. But at least I know how to use all characters in Lf2.5. I only can use Firzen in the CRAZY!!! level. Won many times. Other characters sux. The worst level is level 3. Where if you're lucky, can kill rudolph off fast. But if you didn't. You're sure to die. Cos he'll multiply and turn invisible so no one can hit them. And they come in hundreds. Level 4 the hard thing is the dragon. Found a way to counter its fire breath, so Alex & Darren can't use it against me. Dao could never get easier to kill. I found his weakness. haha. I also found an unknown attack. So cool. Its like Bakuryuuha. Enough of LF2.5.

Yesterday was the 1st time I went out with a group of friends, not 1 or 2. Go with Chien Teng, Ren Xian, Xing Hao, Shawn, Fredy, Zhen Cheng, Justin Yap, Hwee Young, Chang Jun, Albert, 2 sec 1 clarinets whom I don't know anything about (if I missed out anybody means you didn't talk to me). Then on the bus Xing Hao won me in Pepsi-cola (thumb game). Got something stuck in my shoe. Didn't bother taking it out. So went to Pasta Mania to eat. I so poor. I only buy a Chicken Spagehtti & nothing else. And I go drink my water. Finish eating the first. Spend time talking there. Talk until 4pm+. Then left Pasta Mania. Actually I buy so little to go buy glitter/fated. hahas. Later I talk about glitter/fated. Then I said bye to them at the McDonalds cos they wanted to buy Ice-cream I think. They got alot of time sia.

Which reminds me. A couple of weeks ago, I went to J8 to buy some albums. I like very rich ah. Anyways, I went to McDonalds to eat. Eat fillet-o-fish as usual. But that was after I went to SEMBAWANG to buy faulty CDs. Thanks goodness only CAROLS cover was broken. At least the teeth nvr fall out. There's also a new LaserFlair on 4th story. Their glitter/fated come out earlier than SEMBAWANG and CD-rama. But at that time Laserflair was still UC. So I bought the CAROLS single, MY STORY classical (which rox), as well as PLAY by Namie Amuro (not S.H.E). So went home and tabao the Mcs back. Then go upload the songs. CAROLS remixes not so nice. The worst was the Hammond dunno wat. Sounds bad. Criminal Tribal mix quite ok. Started to like it after a while, not immediately. PLAY's "HIDE & SEEK", "CAN'T SLEEP, CAN'T EAT, I'M SICK", as well as "FUNKY TOWN" quite nice. But I still find Ayu nicer. Wanted to try a new genre. Cos 90% of my soundtracks are Ayu. 199 Ayu songs. One of the best albums I bought so far was MY STORY classical. Great songs. All 5 stars. But a little soft. WONDERLAND, Kaleidoscope and A Song is Born (which sounds nothing like the sung ver.) rox alot. I feel that WONDERLAND & Kaleidoscope are some songs that we can play for a concert, but WONDERLAND is abit too hard I feel. So Kaleidoscope may do, hence I uploaded it to my playlist. Enjoy! If you think can then can lor. And that day at J8 on the way home, I took Bus Service no.54 back. When I boarded it, instead of saying wow, like most people would, I said, "what a stupid bus." It was a lounge bus. Got swirly chairs, got a small "bar" and even got sofas. Why it was stupid, cos it was a waste of space. I tell you. Once reach Scotts Road/Orchard Road, the bus is gonna need to take down the bus no. Just reach 3 stops later already packed sia. Haiz... Waste our bus money.

Recently, I like a new singer, voice actor: Rie Tanaka. Even though not chio but her songs are quite nice. Dunno about the lyrics. I want to find all the songs that she sang. I got Ningyo Hime (Chobits), Raison d'etre(Chobits), Fields of Hope (GUNDAM). Wanna find more. Why is still like Ayu more, cos its easier to find her stuff and she got more nicer songs and she's more chio. She looks quite like Ayu when Ayu was younger. Hmm.

Glitter/fated. I bought it. I don't download it. Yay. Songs you can hear yourself. The short film however, quite touching. Starring Ayu and Shawn Yue, where Ayu is Ayu and Shawn is one of Ayu's HK bodyguards. It all started when Ayu arrived at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and the HK reporters and Papparazzi (HK is famous for their papparazzi) and when she went to the level where the floor where her room is, she was still being chased by them and she accidentaly was pushed to Shawn and therefore seemed like hugging, which the papparazzi took a photo of. It was posted in the news but not much effect on her. After that, she was filming something where they got a lot of mirrors, which are like formed in a semi-circle to give the illusion of being alot of mirror things. It is formed like a cave with spikes. Then disaster struck. A spotlight from above dropped onto the mirror prop and Shawn happened to be there at that time, hugged her to protect her as the spotlight dropped and shattered parts of the mirror prop, which a shard scratched Shawn's hand. The other bodyguards came shortly after. After that, Ayu seemed to like him. Then they started communicating through a electronic device. Not sure what it's called. Then they start having this love story. All this happened when the song, glitter was playing. Then there's a long pause where a bit of other music is played, then fated comes in. Ayu gives Shawn the device, saying meet at dunno what place. Oh ya. Almost forgot. Ayu gave him a necklace and kissed him. Don't say I'll be jealous cos I'm not. Then Ayu wears this wedding dress, looking elated running along a bridge in HK. Can see the buildings which are in the Album cover. Then an ambulance passes her by. She stops for a while. Then continues running and smiling. Then when she arrived at the place where she was supposed to meet, she saw police cars leaving the scene. There was a motorcycle on the floor. Ayu was like shocked and sad. She slowly walked over to the bike and saw the necklace she gave him. She was filled in grief and was on the verge of tears. Then she saw a box on the floor. She opened it and saw a ring. She wore it. Then there was a flashback of Shawn being knocked down and in his last breaths trying to reach the ring and he did but died. Then the rest of the film Ayu was crying. And now I know why Secret was one of the tracks in the Single. It totally matches the credits. I mean its like wow, can really make it an ending. Dunno how to explain until you watch it yourself.

This post is very long so I think I should stop here.

NAPFA

2007-08-07T15:15:00.000+08:00

Dummy's Guide to Passing/Cheating in Your NAPFA Test.

Item 1 (Standing Broad Jump): Some stupid people think that Standing Broad Jump is jumping when you swing your arms and at the point where you reach the part where you arms swing back, you jump. Which is entirely wrong. It will cause you to fall flat on your face 1m in front of the starting point and end up like Paul Leong. SO. What do you do. Swing your arms as well as ur body. I prefer squatting but up to you how you like to swing your body. At the point where your arms are perpendicular to the floor, start jumping. Results vary due to size and weight.

Item 2 (Sit & Reach): When you sit down, hunch back as far back as possible until you are lying down on the floor, so the teacher will tell you to sit up straight for a fair test. Next, push your shoulders as far back as possible and bend your arms slightly so that the teacher would not suspect you are bending your arms. When it is time to stretch, do not put your 2 hands together as it will not be as far as leaving a space between your hands. You can use Maths to solve this. Imagine that your arms stretch from left to right. It will form a semi circle, where the centre is your shoulders. So, the furthest you can reach is where your arms are 90degrees perpendicular from your shoulders. Hence, you should leave a space between your hands to reach further.

Item 3 (Inclined Pull-ups/Pull-ups): Currently I have been doing Inclined lah. But since next year must do real one I use a bit of my experience from Inclined one to yalk about this lah. When you manage to pull your head above the bar, DO NOT let your whole body drop down as it would take more energy to pull yourself back up as well as energy is needed to support your weight when you drop.

Item 4 (Sit-ups): If you know your abdominal muscle strenght is quite weak, here's a way to help you pass. Of you think your legs are strong, use your legs instead. You can use your legs to sit you up. I don't know how to explain, but after that my thighs will be pain. But it help me pass lah.

Item 5 (Shuttle run): When you run, tip-toe. Recently, due to tip-toeing, I felt that when I sprint, Very little pressure is applied to my feet, unlike usual. Then I will be able to run super fast, faster than I ever could, and have a feeling of floating. Quite fun. Back to the point. When you start running, just sprint. But even if you are near your target, don't slow down, and run even faster. Then about 1m in front of target, suddenly stop with the side of one foot, depends which foot you are comfortable with. The momentum will cause you to stretch foward, and grab the duster or object. In turn, that momentum will force you back and just continue running. It saves alot of start time.

Item 6 (2.4km Run): When you start running, don't immediately chiong, like I did, in the end so tired. Not my best timing. Run in the inner circle as much as possible. Never look back. You will waste heaps of energy with this simple action. Cos your head is heavy, and you neck has to support the weight, and turning back to the front wastes more energy. Don't tip-toe. Dig you heel into the ground instead. Your feet will push your body foward, so you don't have to rely too much on your legs.

That's all for my NAPFA test.

Yoyo

2007-07-19T17:17:00.000+08:00

Yo. This is gonna be a quick post.

Recently went to the Deyi arts thing called Heart something. Got a lot of hearts I remember. Then like the main thing I was looking out for was like the Band. The song they played was like umm some celebrating thing, in italian I think. Then like got 1 flute & another trumpet solo. So like seriously, the flautist is around my standard, and he is like so popular, people were like taking photos of him before the performance started. So when he played, seriously no big deal. He's sec 4 I think. Well, if he's that popular, Chien Teng would be as popular as Ayu liao lah. All screaming "fans"(refering to the Deyi Sec flautist). Ok lah. Then still got the trumpet solo. Then like the female soloist can vibrato lah. So we shouldn't lose out lor. They girls we guys. I'm gonna talk about the girls and guys thing another time cos there's not enough time. Then I think I saw someone familiar there. But not sure, cos people look alike.

Second point. The NAPFA thing is seriously unfair. The teachers should be more strict, even if it means affecting me. Firstly, the standing broad jump, they measure the leg in front, not behind and secondly, they counted the skidded measurements. Like you jump then fall down will move a few cm in front that type of thing. Next, the sit & reach. The back board should be made to ensure that the back is straight, and the butt is touching the board, so no cheating. However, don't want to name the teacher, didn't seem to see it. So cos Hwee Young was in front of me, Hence the board was alot closer than everyone's, so my result was alot worse than the rest. The P.E Department should look into this.

Ayu broke up. So that's sad. But she said that her relationship had cooled with her BF but her BF still likes her. Which I feel a little sympathy for her BF. But since its her choice, and does not which to hurt anyone any longer, I respect her decision. Hope her BF respects hers.

And here's what Maosim is. Or you can find it in Wiki. I don't bother summarising cos I got no time.

Maoism or Mao Zedong Thought (Simplified Chinese: 毛泽东思想; Pinyin: Máo Zédōng Sīxiǎng), is a variant of Marxism-Leninism derived from the teachings of the Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong (Wade-Giles Romanization: "Mao Tse-tung").

It should be noted that the term Mao Zedong Thought has always been the preferred term by the Communist Party of China (CPC) and that the word Maoism has never been used in its English-language publications except pejoratively. Likewise, Maoist groups outside China have usually called themselves "Marxist-Leninist" rather than Maoist, a reflection of Mao's view that he did not change, but only developed, Marxism-Leninism. However, some Maoist groups, believing Mao's theories to have been sufficiently substantial additions to the basics of the Marxist canon, have since the 1980s called themselves "Marxist-Leninist-Maoist" (MLM) or simply "Maoist."

In the People's Republic of China (PRC), Mao Zedong Thought is part of the official doctrine of the CPC, but since the 1978 beginning of Deng Xiaoping's market economy-oriented reforms, the concept of "socialism with Chinese characteristics" has come to the forefront of Chinese politics, Chinese economic reform has taken hold, and the official definition and role of Mao's original ideology in the PRC has been radically altered and reduced (see History of China). Outside the PRC, the term Maoism was used from the 1960s onwards, usually in a hostile sense, to describe parties or individuals who supported Mao Zedong and his form of communism.

The Communist Party of Peru known as the Shining Path was the first grouping to officially call itself 'Maoist', and has since been followed by other groups advocating the People's War in the Third World, including the contemporary Communist Party of India (Maoist), the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) and the Communist Party of the Philippines.

All those using the self-description 'Maoist' believe that capitalism was restored in the Soviet Union under Nikita Khruschev and in China under Deng Xiaoping. Traditionally most Maoists have deemed Joseph Stalin as the last true socialist leader of the Soviet Union, although Maoist assessments of Stalin vary between the extremely positive and the more ambivalent.

Maoist theory

Unlike the earlier forms of Marxism-Leninism in which the urban proletariat was seen as the main source of revolution, and the countryside was largely ignored, Mao focused on the peasantry as the main revolutionary force who, he said, could be led by the proletariat and its vanguard, the CCP. The model for this was the Chinese communist rural Protracted People's War of the 1920s and 1930s, which eventually brought the CCP to power. Furthermore, unlike other forms of Marxism-Leninism, in which large-scale industrial development was seen as a positive force, Maoism asserted that in a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, agrarian revolution is the priority. Mao felt that this strategy made sense during the early stages of socialism in a country in which most of the people were peasants. Unlike most other political ideologies, including other socialist and Marxist ones, Maoism contains an integral military doctrine and explicitly connects its political ideology with military strategy. In Maoist thought, "political power comes from the barrel of the gun" (one of Mao's quotes), and the peasantry can be mobilized to undertake a "people's war" of armed struggle involving guerrilla warfare in three stages.

The first stage involves mobilizing and organizing the peasantry. The second stage involves setting up rural base areas and increasing coordination among the guerrilla organizations. The third stage involves a transition to conventional warfare. Maoist military doctrine likens guerrilla fighters to fish swimming in a sea of peasants, who provide logistical support.

Maoism emphasizes "revolutionary mass mobilization" (physically mobilizing the vast majority of a population in the struggle for socialism), the concept of New Democracy, and the Theory of Productive Forces as applied to village-level industries independent of the outside world (see Great Leap Forward). In Maoism, deliberate organizing of massive military and economic power is necessary to defend the revolutionary area from outside threat, while centralization keeps corruption under supervision, amid strong control, and sometimes alteration, by the revolutionaries of the area's arts and sciences.

A key concept that distinguishes Maoism from most other left-wing ideologies (save for "mainstream" Marxism-Leninism and Trotsky's theories) is the belief that the class struggle continues throughout the entire socialist period, as a result of the fundamental antagonistic contradiction between capitalism and communism. Even when the proletariat has seized state power through a socialist revolution, the potential remains for a bourgeoisie to restore capitalism. Indeed, Mao famously stated that "the bourgeoisie [in a socialist country] is right inside the Communist Party itself", implying that corrupt Party officials would subvert socialism if not prevented. This was officially the main reason for the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, in which Mao exhorted the public to "Bombard the [Party] headquarters!" and wrest control of the government from bureaucrats (such as Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping) perceived to be on the capitalist road.

This is akin to the "Stalinist" theory of the aggravation of class struggle under socialism.

Mao's doctrine is best summarized in the Little Red Book of Mao Zedong, which was distributed to everyone in China as the basis of revolutionary education. This book consists of quotations from the earliest days of the revolution to the mid-1960s, just before the beginning of the Cultural Revolution.

[edit] Maoism in China

Since the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, and the reforms of Deng Xiaoping starting in 1978, the role of Mao's ideology within the PRC has radically changed. Although Mao Zedong Thought nominally remains the state ideology, Deng's admonition to seek truth from facts means that state policies are judged on their practical consequences and the role of ideology in determining policy has been considerably reduced. Deng also separated Mao from Maoism, making it clear that Mao was fallible and hence that the truth of Maoism comes from observing social consequences rather than by using Mao's quotations as holy writ, as was done in Mao's lifetime.

In addition, the party constitution has been rewritten to give the pragmatic ideas of Deng Xiaoping as much prominence as those of Mao. One consequence of this is that groups outside China which describe themselves as Maoist generally regard China as having repudiated Maoism and restored capitalism, and there is a wide perception both in and out of China that China has abandoned Maoism. However, while it is now permissible to question particular actions of Mao and to talk about excesses taken in the name of Maoism, there is a prohibition in China on either publicly questioning the validity of Maoism or questioning whether the current actions of the CCP are "Maoist."

Although Mao Zedong Thought is still listed as one of the four cardinal principles of the People's Republic of China, its historical role has been re-assessed. The Communist Party now says that Maoism was necessary to break China free from its feudal past, but that the actions of Mao are seen to have led to excesses during the Cultural Revolution. The official view is that China has now reached an economic and political stage, known as the primary stage of socialism, in which China faces new and different problems completely unforeseen by Mao, and as such the solutions that Mao advocated are no longer relevant to China's current conditions.

Both Maoist critics outside China and most Western commentators see this re-working of the definition of Maoism as providing an ideological justification for what they see as the restoration of the essentials of capitalism in China by Deng and his successors.

Mao himself is officially regarded by the CCP as a "great revolutionary leader" for his role in fighting the Japanese and creating the People's Republic of China, but Maoism as implemented between 1959 and 1976 is regarded by today's CCP as an economic and political disaster. In Deng's day, support of radical Maoism was regarded as a form of "left deviationism" and being based on a cult of personality, although these 'errors' are officially attributed to the Gang of Four rather than to Mao himself.

Although these ideological categories and disputes are less relevant at the start of the 21st century, these distinctions were very important in the early 1980s, when the Chinese government was faced with the dilemma of how to allow economic reform to proceed without destroying its own legitimacy, and many argue that Deng's success in starting Chinese economic reform was in large part due to his being able to justify those reforms within a Maoist framework.

Some historians today regard Maoism as an ideology devised by Mao as a pretext for his own quest for power. The official view of the Chinese government was that Mao did not create Maoism to gain power, but that in his later years, Mao or those around him were able to use Maoism to create a cult of personality.

Both the official view of the CCP and much public opinion within China regards the latter period of Mao's rule as having been a disaster for their country. The various estimates of the number of deaths attributable to Mao's policies that have been offered remain highly controversial. The incidents of destruction in cultural remains, religion, and art remain a mystery. For more discussion of this period, see the article Cultural Revolution.

Still, many regret the erosion of guaranteed employment, education, health care, and other gains of the revolution that have been largely lost in the new profit-driven economy. This is reflected in a strain of Chinese Neo-Leftism in the country that seeks to return China to the days after Mao but before Deng; for more on that current's beliefs, see its article.

Some Western scholars argue that China's rapid industrialization and relatively quick recovery from the brutal period of civil wars 1911-1949 was a positive impact of Maoism, and contrast its development specifically to that of Southeast Asia, Russia and India.

Portuguese MRPP poster

From 1962 onwards the challenge to the Soviet hegemony in the World Communist Movement made by the CCP resulted in various divisions in communist parties around the world. At an early stage, the Albanian Party of Labour sided with the CCP. So did many of the mainstream (non-splinter group) communist parties in South-East Asia, like the Burmese Communist Party, Communist Party of Thailand, and Communist Party of Indonesia. Some Asian parties, like the Workers Party of Vietnam and the Workers Party of Korea attempted to take a middle-ground position.

In the west and south, a plethora of parties and organizations were formed that upheld links to the CCP. Often they took names such as Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) or Revolutionary Communist Party to distinguish themselves from the traditional pro-Soviet communist parties. The pro-CCP movements were, in many cases, based amongst the wave of student radicalism that engulfed the world in the 1960s and 1970s.

Only one Western classic communist party sided with CCP, the Communist Party of New Zealand. Under the leadership of CCP and Mao Zedong, a parallel international communist movement emerged to rival that of the Soviets, although it was never as formalized and homogeneous as the pro-Soviet tendency.

After the death of Mao in 1976 and various power-struggles in China that followed, the international Maoist movement was, in rough terms, divided into three. One section supported — although not necessarily with great enthusiasm — the new Chinese leadership under Deng Xiaoping. This category was highly heterogeneous. Another section denounced the new leadership as traitors to the cause of Marxism-Leninism Mao Zedong Thought. A third section sided with the Albanians in denouncing the Three Worlds Theory of the CCP. (See Sino-Albanian Split.)

The pro-Albanian category would effectively start to function as an international tendency of its own, led by Enver Hoxha and the APL. That tendency was able to amalgamate most of the groups in Latin America, such as the Communist Party of Brazil.

The new Chinese leadership had little interest in the various foreign factions supporting Mao's China, and the movement fell into disarray. Many of the parties that had been fraternal parties of the Chinese government before 1975 either disbanded, abandoned the Chinese entirely, or even denounced Marxism-Leninism and developed into non-communist, social democratic parties. What is today sometimes referred to as the "international Maoist movement" evolved out of the second category — the parties that opposed Deng and claimed to uphold the legacy of Mao.

During the 1980s two parallel regroupment efforts emerged, one centered around the Communist Party of the Philippines, which gave birth to the ICMLPO, and one that birthed the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement, which the Shining Path communist guerrilla group and the Revolutionary Communist Party USA played a leading role in forming.

Both the International Conference and the RIM tendencies claimed to uphold Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought, although RIM was later to substitute that ideology with what they termed 'Marxism-Leninism-Maoism'.

[edit] Maoism today

Today the Maoist organizations grouped in RIM have their strongest hold in South Asia, and are at the forefront of the armed struggles throughout the rest of the world, most notably in Bangladesh, and until recently Nepal. There are also smaller insurgencies going on in Peru and Turkey.

In the Philippines, the Communist Party of the Philippines, which is not part of the RIM, leads an armed struggle through its military wing, the New People's Army.

In Peru, several columns of the Communist Party of Peru/SL are fighting a sporadic war. Since the capture of their leadership, Chairman Gonzalo and other members of their central committee in 1992, the PCP/SL no longer has initiative in the fight. Several different political positions are supported by those claiming the mantle of the PCP/SL.

In India, the Communist Party of India (Maoist) have been fighting a protracted war. Formed by the merger of the People's War Group and the Maoist Communist Center, they have expanded their range of operations to over half of India and have been listed by the Prime Minister as the "greatest internal security threat" to the Indian republic since it was founded.

In Germany the ICMLPO-affiliated MLPD is the largest unambiguously-Marxist group in the country.

Maoism has also become a significant political ideology in Nepal, where until recently, the Maoist insurgency has been fighting against the Royal Nepalese Army and other supporters of the monarchy. The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), a RIM member, has declared the armed struggle over and will be joining the interim government, leading to elections for a national constituent assembly.

[edit] Military strategy

Mao is widely regarded as a brilliant military strategist even among those who oppose his political or economic ideas. His writings on guerrilla warfare, most notably in his groundbreaking primer On Guerilla Warfare, and the notion of people's war are now generally considered to be essential reading, both for those who wish to conduct guerrilla operations and for those who wish to oppose them.

As with his economic and political ideas, Maoist military ideas seem to have more relevance at the start of the 21st century outside of the People's Republic of China than within it. There is a consensus both within and outside the PRC that the military context that the PRC faces in the early 21st century are very different from the one faced by China in the 1930s. As a result, within the People's Liberation Army there has been extensive debate over whether and how to relate Mao's military doctrines to 21st-century military ideas, especially the idea of a revolution in military affairs.

1st 2nd 3rd World

2007-07-16T15:38:00.000+08:00

How do you determine a 1st, 2nd or 3rd world. If I get my facts wrong then sorry hor. Cos Geography recently got this 1st & 3rd world thing lah. So my theory goes. Language. Japan is considered as a 1st world country, so is America. Hence, Japanese speak English and English speak Japanese. True? However, America has more power than Japan, hence more Japanese speak English than English speaks Japanese. However, Korea, also 1st world, speaks Japanese but Japanese barely speaks Korean. True? This shows that even though 1st world countries are considered the best, they still differ in power. So Koreans go to Japan or America and sometimes study and I don't want to go into details about that part. However, 3rd world countries, created by Mao, called Maoism. haha. Includes countries such as those in africa. They are so different from 1st worlds hence, do not really need to learn english and definitely not Japanese. 2nd world countries like Indonesia send maids to Singapore and they learn English and Chinese, which shows that they are more well off than the Africans. I'm not making sense. Anyways last time Africans get worse treatment than maids, hence the 3rd world. Oh well...

Today got the Science exam lah. Then Mr Goy was our invigilator for the 1st period lah. Then in the midst of the exam, or about the end of the 1st period, he was like pacing about very fast lah. At first I didn't know. Actually he was like URGENT!!! So urgent that he walked in and out of the class. Then he made a phone call and said: "I very urgent know leh. I really need to go to the toilet. I don't care lah. You just ask a teacher to quickly come. Mdm Wong's period she never come. Quickly hor. Bye."(Something like that lah.) And it was not Mdm Wong's period. It was Mrs Sim's period. I was like giggling lah. Anyways thats that and I don't want to write anymore about it.

I watched the Harry Potter movie liao. Yay. And should I buy the new Namie Amuro album, Hide & Seek?

50th Post

2007-07-11T16:13:00.000+08:00

Yo! This is my 50th post. And goodness me. Someone I don't know well knows me so well. It's kinda shocking though. & I've just found out who he is.

Today is e-learning day. And I'm watching how the Jigoku Shoujo dies. So sad. Oh well. It's on youtube by the way. The D&T e-learning exercise was a disaster. With only latecomers getting to see the podcast. And its dumb anyways.

There's a leak. I hate people who do that. They obviously aren't real fans if they do such things. Really spoils the fun. Just 1 more week only lor. Should increase security next time. And I just love the chobits opening theme.

This is such a lousy 50th post. Oh well.

Live Earth

2007-07-09T19:20:00.000+08:00

Yo. I've just got 106 new fonts. And I love the Walt Disney one. YAY. Anyway, Ayu's new album is going to come out on 18th July and I'm gonna try on 21st July, after band, cos albums come later than usually in Singapore. Oh well. I'm gonna waste 45cents more but I don't care. 8 more days. YAY...

Recently, cos the old Kazaana was thrown away by the cleaner auntie, I think, so I decided to make a new one! The ingredients are... bananananannananananananana, orange, extra chewing gum (chewed and unchewed), mentos (not sure what flavour, also chewed and unchewed, luke's saliva, keith's saliva as well as mine too. And it stinks in just less than 3 days. WOW! I'm using a temporary bottle as the material is just too weak for the toxic. It feels oily now. hmm... and it smells like erm... orange - banana - extra mint chewing gum flavour. Oh ya. I also poured a bit of the solution into Ern Yeow's Extra Chewing Gum container. If he say anything I just say he's not supposed to bring chewing gum into Spore. Muahahaha. I'm so evil.

Oh ya. Live Earth. I TOTALLY missed the Tokyo one. So sad! I dunno how to make a sad face on blogger. At least Eason Chan got his just desserts. He looks just as he sounds... Like shit. haha. Honkey...

I made a mistake. It was Shawn Yue, not Edison Chen, who acted in a mini movie for Glitter/fated. I didn't write it on the blog anyways. Heard they are now friends despite the language barrier. Interesting...

Live Earth again. Really saving the earth, or just a futile effort. Ans: futile effort. Seen the mess. Yah. In the newspapers & everywhere. They just wasted lots of the earth resources to put up a concert with a futile cause. Oh well... Don't want to go into details. Another thing. I feel like changing the blog pic. So mebbe next post i put some of the pics n u choose. k?

These few days, the weather is SUUPPEERR HOT!!!! Oh ya. That reminds me of MTV Taiwan. I tell you. The 1st and only reason I watched MTV Asia is to see Ayu on TV. Nothing else. I only seen the A BEST 2 BLACK-WHITE CM and a bit of her doing the artist of the week thing. So nice. Then see her doing the is this LOVE? PV(MV) and the fairyland one. Then out of the Ayu part. There is these MTV ads to promote themselves. haha. Then there's this guy who got a speech problem. So he's like. Chchchchchcchchcchchcheck it out. You know. Super fast. I'm catching up. Haha. Back to the super hot part. Its very hot. Global Warming. But that won't make me watch Live Earth cos Eason Chan is inside. He's going to China. AHAHAHA. I rather watch the Japan one rather than the China one. Too bad this is Singapore. Haiz...

Oh yah. 1 minute of silence...

ok. The Kazaana is gone. That's so sad. 5 months of experimentation all gone. However, that's not going to stop me. I just found the secret ingredient to its toxic. The ingredient is ____!!! Don't tell you. AHAHAHA! The next time I find a bottle, prepare for the impending DOOM!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

There's a music project that let's us compose a song, which is something I've never really done before. I'm not a composer you know. That's something new.

Nothing much to post just that the beginning of the term is lousy. Never bring this and that. Don't care lah. So Bye.

Tickets?

2007-06-12T22:39:00.000+08:00

Hey! I got 2 discount coupons. I really need someone to accept one of them or else it will be wasted. You will need to pay $5, instead of the usual price, to watch either Ocean's 13 or Legend of the Sea. I'm definitely, not watching Legend of the Sea becaues its such a lousy animation with not much plot at all. The only perks are JJLin and Jin Sha who would be the voice actors, which I don't care about. The review was horrible with only 1/5(they could not give 0 cos the newspaper didn't let them). haha. Quick hor. Expiry of the coupons will be this Thursday. So please. Even if you don't want to sit with me its ok. Cos its 2 seperate coupons and tickets are seperate. SO pls msn me tomorrow or those band people tell me in band. Hopefully in time.

The End...

So you all like my blog

2007-06-12T16:34:00.000+08:00

So you like the new blogskin. Good to hear. The pop-up thing was irritating anyways. This blogskin took me alot of effort cos there were some glitches I had to fix. And my mother is playing Canon in D on the out-of-tune piano right now where the C is a B. Oh well... And yesterday I totally drained my Zen Neeon 2 of its batteries cos it lasted around 20hrs, 2 days, without charging so that's cool. Charge it for 1-2 hours and I use it again. That shows how hardcore I am. But I set the volume at its minimum, which is 1, and wishes it can go softer. Except for now, as my mother is playing the out-of-tune piano and I got to set the volume at 8 in order to drown the noise as the piano is right beside me. Haiz...

All those people who like anime and reads my blog, which I know are very few, can go to this website, http://www.theotaku.com, to take a quiz of your favourite anime(s). I don't want to put mine in my blog cos very pai sei. And seriously, I hate Cosplay. Its like almost the creepiest form of fanship there is on this earth lah. If the people have more realistic coloured hair and more non-spongy swords it may look better, but they will still freak me out. Bleach, InuYasha, Chobits, Naruto, ecetera... Who in the world created this mess. And there's like a Cosplay show. Omg. Whatever man, I won't involve myself in Cosplay. Oh ya. Even though I don't watch Bleach, Bleach is coming out with a new game. Find out the name on Digital Life today. Sadly they don't have Galaxy Angel quizzes... But they have InuYasha and Chobits quizzes!

Tomorrow is the last band practise for the school holidays... Sorry the other post write wrongly. Don't want to teach the lazy one. Retarded one should have come back to Singapore. Scared of him too. Aiya. All not nice to teach one lah. All think they're so great. All got attitude problem one lah. Tell them to do something then they do their own thing. Got to show them my other face tomorrow. So long never use that face don't know whether still can use or not. Haha.

I'm into Jigoku Shoujo recently. Nice timing too. 12 midnight, which is the time where the protagonist of that particular episode log on to Jigoku Tsūshin, a website that can only be accessed at midnight. Then they write down the name of whom they want to take revenge on and the Jigoku Shoujo will come. Before the victim dies, she will say, "闇に惑いし哀れな影よ・・・人を傷つけ貶めて、罪に溺れし業の魂・・・　いっぺん、死んで見る" which means: O Pitiful shadow cloaked in darkness.Thy actions cause men pain and suffering. Thy hollow soul drowns in thy sins. Would you like to see what death is like? So cool. Its my msn personal message. Just that the English translation is too long so got to use the Japanese version. I'm becoming an anime fan omg. That is all for now...

The End...

...

2007-06-12T10:17:00.001+08:00

Yo. I won't be posting as often so don't need to check back so often. Cos my father is going back to work tomorrow. Nothing much to write about too. Doing some quizzes. Oh well.

The End...

If I have a Kazaana

2007-06-11T15:58:00.000+08:00

Yo. Nothing much happened today so I'm gonna talk about what I would do if I have a Kazaana/Wind tunnel. A Kazaana is this...

It sucks anything and everything into a endless void like a black hole. It grows in size as you grow older. And when you grow too old and your Kazaana grows too big, you will get sucked in and end up like this...

Oh well. Its a curse. If I have it, I will make the world a better place. You know all those undisposable rubbish? Just pile them up and I suck them up. Then there's no need for burning and air pollution. Then less global warming. Good right? Then the polar bears and penguins won't have to suffer. Then the electricity need steam to turn turbine right? Just aim at the right angle and you got a high speed spinning turbine. Yeah! 1 hour can power 1000 homes for 1 day. Haha. Highly impossible though. Singapore consumes so much energy. Then you go toilet got stupid cockroach. Just suck it in. Then vacuum cleaner very heavy can just use the Kazaana to clean. So simple. But the older you get, the more powerful it gets. And you may accidentaly suck in extra stuff. And one day a meteorite come crashing to Singapore and you just suck it up. You will be a National Hero! Whatever. This is a stupid dream and in the end you will still die of the curse and end up like this again...

Oh well. If I've got anything to say I will post again.

The End...

New Blogskin!!!

2007-06-11T10:27:00.000+08:00

Yo! I've changed my blogskin. Haha. I've named the sections after Ayu songs and albums. haha. Hope you understand...

I hate STATIC

2007-06-10T18:33:00.000+08:00

Static sux. It got me into a lot of trouble today, which is a Sunday, and I go out with my family. And because of the stupid static I feel so guilty and didn't even buy my Pink Dolphin lor. Oh yah. Gonna check on my Kazaana on Wed b4 band, if got time, or after band, most likely no time. See whether leak already or not. Ok back to static. I went to NTUC with my father lah. And my mood was bad as usual cos of some unpleasant events at the start of the day. Then there were like these cute watermelons lah. They are very small, about the size of a trumpet mute. I can't think of a ball that size. Then my father was like weighing the watermelons lah. 2 of them. Then the saddest thing happened. He asked me to see if which one is heavier. Then as he passed one of them to me, I got static-ed by one of them. Amazing. This was the first time I got static-ed by a fruit! And the poor thing dropped on the floor and it split open. Then its like once broken considered sold. The choice was made. I felt like so guilty. To cause less trouble, I decided to isolate myself. And when I came back, he was like where were you. Haiz... So sad. Surprisingly, he got most of my common necessities. Except for Pink Dolphin, not that I like pink, and Tao Kae Noi. I kinda like the Tom yum flavor but he likes the wasabi flavor. Oh well. Stupid static. I get static-ed but the other person like don't get it at all lor. Haiz...

Recently, if not today, I'm into Chobits, cos I keep hearing of it. After that, I realised I watched it somewhere in youtube. Nvm.

I'm gonna attend a violin course. 8 days only. Then like maximum of 10 ppl can join only. So very heng lah. I know you will say me lah but I just wanna try. I will still practise my flute don't worry. So I'm gonna change my blogskinto the 4th one, Endless Sorrow: Spread my Wings and Fly. I also uploaded some of my nice ayu songs can go listen. Oh well. Bye

The End...

Funny

2007-06-09T16:23:00.000+08:00

Yo!. Left 2 more days to vote for my new blog skin. And it seems Endless Sorrow takes the lead. Oh well. Today in band got the scales test. I'm listening to HONEY now. Haha. Irrelevant. Anyways, the 1st section happened to be the flutes. Always at the wrong time. SYF flutes last lor. Some more that time I prepared you know? Now I not prepared gu yi change to first. Make me suffer. First time failed. But not with flying colours. Hehe. Borderline fail. Second time of course pass lah. Then at the Champagnat Plaza still have the flour and sweets. Cool. And I poured some on a chair... again. XP so funny. haha. And the junior, not the retarded one, not the zhong guo one and not the Thomas' brother one, came back. So fast sia. First time already pass. Anyways my scales are better than Wang Liang. Haha. And I dunno my juniors' names yet. O.O Then I saw how lazy he was. He seems to like don't want to join flute section liddat. So I tell him want to transfer him to the oboe section. Then he said yes. That's the biggest mistake he will make in his life lah. Then speak of the devil. Oboe Tan came up. Then go play the Times of Triumph. Then I ask him if he want to join oboe again. And he said no. -_- So lazy leh he. Worse than retard lor. Then after that nothing much to talk about.

After band, the most amazing thing happened. I had been sitting at the bus stop for quite some time, maybe 3min. Then I was like listening to No way to say lah. Then the entire 186 songs long playlist ended. Cos I use play mode shuffle so everytime I turn on the positioning will be different. SO, I took my zen out of my nice new pouch, with a Sesshomaru bling-bling, and go and restart the playlist. Then it happened. 93 just came and when I looked up, it was just whizzing past. I was like stunned. I just sat there and watched. I didn't bother to move at all. I was like, ok, its gone, and I just have to wait 3 songs more before it comes again. Some more its an air-con bus lor. 3 songs make the whole thing seem shorter. Oh yah. And during practise a stupid grain of san got into my eye and for half the full band to the end of the day I was like struggling to get it out of my eye and I really could not concentrate. But I did well. Congratulations to me. But the grain was still stuck there. By the time I got up the bus after 2 1/2 songs. And on the bus, another grain of stupid sand got into my eye again. And it just happened to be the same left eye. But the grain was smaller. But still irritating.

Ok I got little time now so I'm gonna write what I'm gonna write. Yesterday I watched this concert on arts central. It is like those type of outdoor concerts under the stars thing. The horizon was quite beautiful but thats not the point. The point is that what a bad impression some sections of our band give of the instrument. Anyway I give myself a bad impression. The flautist was like so pro even with lots of white beard and only Chien Teng could play what they were playing. I'm gonna cut this short and say which section was the most drastic. It is the oboe section. I heard their oboe playing the solos and I couldn't relate how it was ever related to what oboe-tan is playing. Sorry but its true. I thougt it was a different instrument. Ok I need to drink some ribena first. Oh ya. The concert master had the cutest face ever. His face was like so saggy and you could barely see his eyes. And when he raises his eyebrows for those climatic parts, he looks so funny sia. And the cameraman dunno how to take. A couple was like kissing and they go take them. Then the couple lian pi hen hou. Go look into the camera, smile, then continue kissing again. That's so weird. K lah that's all for now. So bye!

The End...

New Blogskin?

2007-06-08T17:51:00.000+08:00

Yo guys! I'm intending to change my blogskin to one of the 4 below. If you want you can suggest which one I should pick cos I really dunno. Or maybe I'm not gonna change at all. I can't find any other music hosting website other than iwebmusic. If you know of any, please tell me...

Tomorrow is gonna be the last day of band for the rest of the holidays. And blogging on a laptop is highly not recommended. Firstly, your hand may accidentally touch the touchpad thingy and it can be quite irritating. Secondly, is it just me or my fingers get all tingly and numb. Maybe I keep getting mild electric shocks. I dunno. And lastly. The positioning of some of the keys differ from the one on your desktop. So sometimes you will type wrongly. I'm gonna get this straight. I don't have a laptop. I'm using my father's laptop cos he's taking leave for a while and I can use the free wireless internet in the CC. Ok.

Nothing controversial to say today so bye bye

Ayu Album Count is 11!

2007-06-07T18:44:00.000+08:00

Yo! Long time no post. One week already right? Anyways now I have 11 Ayu albums! YAY! That's $200+ on her albums. Well done. Still got one more, followed by another in July.

Went to the IT fair and Book fair last Sunday. Cos both book fair and IT fair was at SUNTEC City. Anyways, I went to the IT show mainly to find something. Quite stupid but whatever. They don't sell it in Singapore. Oh well. In the end I only left that crowded mass with 2 Toshiba flash memory drives 2GB each. Yes that's all. Then went to the Book fair. Seriously if you got nothing to do in the IT fair or think its too crowded, come to the book fair. The book has a mini IT fair. So I bought a set of blank CD-RW so I can burn my linux. Anyone know how to check your com's burn speed without having to look at the brochure? Anyways, back to the fair. Attended a memory talk. I don't need that at all. But since my legs were super tired and I've been listening to Ayu for the past 4hrs, I decided to listen to the talk. Anyways its free. And a few stupid hao lian children go ans the qn. Like you need to memorize some words then they close the screen thing. Yah lah. Then everyone will look behind. This is such a strange human reaction. Someone doing something like talking behind and you know exactly what's he/she doing and you still must look behind. Its a stupid waste energy, neck-straining, back-breaking action. In order not to do so, you must have high self discipline like me. Haha. I don't look behind unless there's someone having fits.

After the talk at the entrance there is this chop making thing. People are really very lazy. Must get chops so they don't need to write down their name manually. Maybe should introduce it to Low Ern Yeow. Write your name 2 times on the test paper hor? And then the greatest thing happened. Oh yes! An anime store. Its great and I spent all the cash I had in my wallet, including the band fund money :X Anyway you shouldn't worry cos I got back-up. I will pay this Saturday. So the anime stuff I bought was a ... I dunno wat it is, some ... I dunno and 1 InuYasha soundtrack and movie. Intending to buy another movie even though I'm down on cash.
Forgot what else I needed to say. So...

The End...

Holidays

2007-05-30T17:13:00.000+08:00

Hi it's the holidays. I know its a bit too late to say that anyway. Band prac suddenly got shifted to Tuesday and at 2pm. Nobody told me that weekdays must wear orange T-shirt so since I wore the orange one on Saturday, of course I would wear a blue one on Tuesday. So I'm one of the few odd ones out. Then my weird junior during sectionals blow 1, 2 notes say he feel like vomiting. So let him rest for about 10mins. 10mins later, ask him if he is ok or not. Say no so I told him to lie down and rest for a while. Rest for another 20min I ask him if he needs to go home or not. Say he not sure. 10 mins later asked him again then said yes so I went to look for Mr Chiang & he said he is also scared of him. So later called his mother then brought him back home. So sectionals end up only got 1 junior to teach. Teach also until 不三不四. I can tell you I was better than him... Should be, cos in the like 3rd or 4th week I already learnt how to play American Journey and Nottingham Sketches one week later. The rest of the juniors I dunno where are they. One went to Lifesaving and the other disappeared. Don't bother to find out. Anyway I'm not the SL lor.

Went back home and played FretsonFire. YAY. Got new songs cos Keith gave me alot more than the 3 new songs. Some supaeasy and some are AMAZINGLY HARD! Oh well. I'm a born talent cos I play once already can get high score. So sorry.

The End...

Dilemna

2007-05-29T09:42:00.001+08:00

I'm in a dilemna. I don't know whether to buy CAROLS, MY STORY classical, or not. Haiz... Today went to Thomson Plaza. Brought some cash cos now I got a wallet. Last time I didn't have a wallet to put money in so when I go out I go out empty handed, except for my ez-link card. Anyway, in the end I didn't buy anything cos the MY STORY at SEMBAWANG there is not classical and I will be getting the non-classical one anyway. The CAROLS CD case is cracked as usual. DON'T buy any old albums from SEMBAWANG. They are usually cracked. Just need 3 months to get cracked. That's the lousy quality. Anyway I wasn't sure that the songs were nice or not. Need someone to confirm with.

Just started playing FretsonFire on Saturday and now I don't feel like playing it anymore. The easy mode I got all 5 stars fro all songs. Medium I got 5 stars for the last 2 songs. The 1st song I got 4 stars. Amazing mode... Forget it. It's too hard. A bit like para para really. They tell me to hold my keyboard like a guitar. Ki xiao ah they all. I use normally also can play ah. After that my mother see me holding the keyboard like a guitar send me to IMH ah. Since they only got 3 songs, you will get bored for sure. The stupid tutorial also don't teach you properly. Then I keep thinking why I keep getting 0 at first. Then realised need to press enter. Thanks Keith. Then the tutorial guy keep mocking you even if you press correctly. Haiz...

Oh ya. I forgot to add the link to Manuel's blog last time. Sorry for the confusion. I don't want to comment about my junior again. If you really want to know come ask me on msn or in person or... whatever. My kazaana will be left in school, sealed by my japa mala beads for the next 100 years... Translation. My bottle of sewage will be sealed by a red rubber band for one month, the rest of the school holidays. When I come back, it will be a walking hell. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Provided it does not burn through the plastic, cos its already burning through the silver paint. Scary. Silver turned black and getting thinner by the day.

Yay. I like Galaxy Angel. Don't laugh. I like it. So I'm trying to find the real game everywhere. But even if I find it I may not buy it. Haha.

Watched "Pirates of the Caribbean: At the World's End" on Saturday. It is a nice show. But not exceptional. Can watch as if it is a great film. So didn't fall asleep. I never fell asleep during a show except for Phantom of the Opera :P cos its late and I was very very tired after band. My favourite part of the show was when the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman go to battle. So nice sia. In the end Davy Jones died after he stabbed William Turner and his father, who is "part of the ship", went to attack Davy Jones. Jack Sparrow unlocked the chest containing Davy Jones' heart and gave it to Turner then Turner stabbed it. After all the drama Will Turner's heart replaced Davy Jones' heart and became captain of the flying dutchman. He got married to Elizabeth Swann in the middle of the battle. Really. After that the Black Pearl and Flying Dutchman destroyed the head of the EIC's ship and the rest fled. So nice. That's the end of the review and I don't think I will be watching anymore shows for free. Oh ya. Why no one wanted the free tickets ah? Never mind.

The End...

2nd post

2007-05-24T18:32:00.001+08:00

Double post again. Haha. Not enough space. Today is Thursday. Got back my report book. I decided to call my sewage Kazana(wind tunnel). Cos inside inuyasha(anime) got this guy got a wind tunnel that sucks everything inside. Its on his palm by the way. It looks like a black hole. Then he got this bead necklace to seal the wind tunnel, just like I got a rubber band to seal my sewage. Every rubber band I use must be thrown away. NOOO!!! Cos It will be very very smelly. So I just threw one into my sewage cos its too smelly after using it. And I used Momok's school badge as a cap for the kazana for a while cos he left it on my chair, along with the fruit plus orange sweet wrapper. Then I put the badge on his table, still dripping wet and as pungent as ever. I can't believe he touched it. EEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW!!! Anyway, he decided not to have it and threw it on the floor. It was tainted black with the evil aura of my bottle. MUAHAHAHAHAHA. So funny. He also so inconsiderate. Throw on the floor who will pick up. Everyone will suffer lor. Since he pick up might as well throw away hor.

Ok. Yesterday was the first sectionals with our juniors right? Unless you were appointed to teach them before SYF. I got this junior. I really don't want to say it but he really is like a retard. I really don't want to say that he is retarded. You want to find out more then msn me lor. Other than that quite ok lah.

You know there is this ettiquit and manners talk right? The Alexis go teach us how to respond to certain questions. The dumbest thing is that when you ask "How do you do?", you know what's the response? "How do you do?" That's not answering the stupid question what. Don't know where she learn her manners, still want to talk about manners.

I love Maris Stella. Maris Stella is not much different from the Japanese in the Japanese occupation. Don't obey them you suffer; Don't obey teachers no recess. Propaganda is used for both. Japanese put up propaganda posters. Maris Stella forces students to draw propaganda posters, saying I love Maris Stella. So sad. We are living in the past...

Don't want to talk so much already lah. So...

The End...

Post exams

2007-05-24T18:30:00.000+08:00

Hi hi. Post exams are sad. Good or bad is up to you to decide. Is doing Hip Hop good or bad, you decide. Don't want to talk about school. Just that the class committe isn't doing anything about the gambling problem. And now my bottle of sewage smells worse than shit. Its decayed I think. It's got banana peels, bananas, orange peels, oranges, apples with the peels, paracetemol (a kind of painkiller), chlorine, ink of all kinds, one big fly and a couple of small ones, hair (not mine), thinner, silver paint (gives the bottle the silver colour), tissue paper and paper, all types of parts you can get from a pen, oil from pens, snails, sour apple & watermelon juice (you can get them at GIANT, so they said), a feather, a kind of starchat card, 等等等... or you can call it ecetera (saw it in a show's subtitles, cool).ok lame. It really stinks. And it will really taint your hand black like the shikon no tama. It was not like that before. And I have not been adding ink. So it must have been the fly that disappeared into my bottle, or some other things. Its texture, kind of sticky, gets itchy after a while, so its probrably acidic. The chlorine must not have worked. Can't be bothered to take a picture of it. Anyway all you would see is the silver paint and my inscriptions, along with the brand name, company name, nutritional info, as well as ingredients, all by me. The company name and brand name are invented by me. All rights reserved. Hahahaha.

So I was one of the first to know about Ayu's new single, Glitter/fated. I'm very happy about that. Sense of achievement. Oh well. Any album that comes out I will buy it. So doesn't really make a difference if the songs are repeated or not. Hehe. And Jonathan likes BoA. Just got to know about it yesterday. Started lovin' her about the same time as I love Ayu. So alike, it's scary. Oh yah. Also learnt conversational Malay in school. Ok lah. It can be useful, but if applied or said wrongly, it could land you into alot of trouble, same goes to all the languages.

You like my writing attitude like 2 posts ago? If you like tell me. But recently no mood to write like that. Don't feel hot or angry. Then can write lots. And Manuel got a new blog. Click on my link there to go. Congratulations Manuel!

The End...

Exams are Over

2007-05-18T15:41:00.000+08:00

Yo. So the exams are over. And if you've realised that its actually more boring then ever. So I don't care about this part. So I'm not going to write about this part.

I'm gonna make a private blog. If I want you to go I will send you an invitation. I won't tell anyone when its ready. So just wait for me. But that doesn't mean that you I will stop blogging in this blog. This blog, http://darthvaderyc.blogspot.com, will be my public blog where I will now post not so sensitive comments. So let's get started.

OO. I'm gonna watch Pirates of the Carribean next Saturday I think. Got band on Saturday I think. The show is 1pm so gotta rush. Oh no. The reception is 1pm. Free tickets sia. If you want I not sure my mother will let you lah but you can ask me if you want lor.

Should I talk about Ern Yeow again? I don't feel like talking about him. Obviously he does not go to google to search for his name. That's why he hasn't learnt from his mistakes. Oh well. If he wants to continue its up to him. Oh yah. Truth or Dare play with some guys. Then Luke go choose dare. Then tell him to go say to Low Ern Yeow smoking causes oral cancer that thing. Haha. So funny. oh well.

Why do people want to watch shows that get them irritated. Some show like jia you jin shun. Such a dumb show sia. Then people still want to watch. Haiz... Don't know how some people think.

YAY! Going to have band soon. And finally can have sectionals with the sec1s. I can tell you some of them don't even remember the basic fingering. If they practice I can tell you I will be quite amazed. I also need to practice already. Losing my embrocure(not sure how to spell). Hmm. Chien Teng is going to perform Carnival of Venice with Garrett on one Saturday practice. SO COOL! Oh well. Chien Teng says he will not be coming on to msn anymore. So sad. That's part and parcel of life.

Ayu is going to come out with a new SINGLE! Its called Glitter/fated. YAY! I will be the first person in Singapore to buy it. It will be coming out in 18th July. Sadly that should be the date of release in Japan, not Singapore. So probably will come 1-2 weeks later. And I hate Eason Chan. Now can invite Christina Augilera(is that how to spell her name?) to Singapore and can't even invite Ayu. Come up with stupid excuses stupid record companies. Haiz...

I think that's about all. Last post was because I felt very hot and angry so I can write a lot. Now not much inspiration but the post length is long enough I guess.

The End...

Happy Mother's Day

2007-05-13T20:12:00.000+08:00

Yo! Didn't know I can post so fast. Anyway, today is Mother's Day. Remember to say Happy Mother's Day to your mother ok? You don't say you go and die lah. Oh well. This is what happened today on Mother's Day.

In the morning managed to fix the stupid com. The stupid Windows Automatic Updates keep causing problems for my com. Haiz... But went to windows support page managed to temporarily subdue the problem. In the end still got to update right? Anyway after that not important lah. About 2pm go J8 for lunch. Go foodcourt. Kept coughing the whole morning. Haiz... Still haven't recover from the flu yet. Anyway after eating went to find a wallet. For myself of course. I don't even have a proper wallet since I entered Secondary school. After that J8 got what Beautiful Mothers competition. Can't be bothered to know what in the world was happening. Anyway in the end never get my wallet. My ez-link card scratched already you know?
So my mother just go watch the show lah. Hosted by Living with Lydia that Billy Bong guy. Not sure what's his real name. And some other person. Could be some newscaster last time. Not sure. Never got to see her face properly anyway. So for about 1 hr I was in Popular looking for practically nothing. Not C&C3 there anyway. Oh yah. Yesterday I went to Orchard MRT popular. There have. CD rama also have. But never bring any money to buy albums. Can't be bothered to buy games. Scared kanna addicted to it. Actually I go out don't bring money. Unless I really planned what I want to buy. So no point robbing me. haha. So back to today. So for 1hr I did nothing. Then she said go NTUC get what I wanted first. It was about 3.45. She said the show was gonna end at 4pm. So okay.
So I waited for another hour at NTUC. Then she finally came. It was 4.45. The stupid show so long. I wanted to complain to her but I did not cos its Mother's Day. So good right? Haha. Good or not you decided lah. Then while I was waiting in NTUC looking for my Tao Kae Noi seaweed got this auntie go call me xian sheng leh. I look very old meh. Actually I do. If you saw me wear what I wear outside before maybe you can't recognise me. haha. She asked me to help her to take Mamee Monster from a high shelf. See, so good you know, that mother come ask stranger so that she can get what her children wants you know? Some more asking someone to help to take something like MAMEE MONSTER is very pai sei you know? I take ribena also pai sei. Haha. ok lah. Then when I came back home I think I like gonna have heat stroke.

So that's today. You want film review? Phantom of the Opera or Spiderman 3? Phantom of the Opera I don't care lah so Spiderman 3. Must watch if you like Spiderman. The best of all 3 Spiderman movies sia. Rocks leh. Got alot of action lah. More plot then last time. Then Spiderman attack MJ cos the black suit is BAD BAD. It takes over a person with his feeling of revenge or something liddat. So in the end he realised that what he had become lah. Spiderman does not kill and he said he killed Sandman. Of course Sandman won't die wat. In the end Sandman didn't die and by the way, the Sandman guy was the one who killed Peter Parker's uncle. In the end Spiderman forgive him lah. Venom on the other hand was created when Spiderman was trying to remove the black suit. Its actually some black goo you know? So yucky. Then he removing it in a clock tower.
Then forgot what's the guys name. The guy who became Venom wanted to be Spiderman's photographer then Spiderman thrash his camera cos he would take over PP's job. Then the black goo drop on the huy and he became Venom. The rest I don't want to say. Very tired. Otherwise the show not nice liao. Go watch, not bad. I got free tickets that's why I get to watch. So sorry. Its a family thing. I told Alex then he feel so rejected. HAHA. I don't watch movies unless its free or a friends thing.

I feel like talking about people right now. Ok I talk about girls first. do you know you want to attract girls what is the main thing you must have? MUST HAVE? Spiky hair. Be it smart or stupid, pretty or ugly. All like spiky hair guys. They will be like "Oh you see that guy. Wah he got spiky hair. So COOL!" What crap. Can't believe they like people just because they got spiky hair. But if you want to have a headstart go ahead and get spiky hair. And tuck out your shirt. And soon you will realise the girl only like you for your looks. People must go for personality not looks. Looks and lousy personality = Lousy person. No looks and good personality = good guy. Looks and good personality = you're so lucky. End the girl talk here.

Next group of people. Fakers. Hi I'm Andrew Low. I don't see a name called Andrew Low in the namelist. Why some people just don't want to use their real name and insiston a name that isn't even on the birth cert? exam instructions are please write your full name as in your ic right or not? I hope he will get into trouble for this. Trouble the teachers got to look for that $#%^ name out of 360 people in the entire level. Don't give an excuse such as I write my name and class what. Later another guy from another class real name called Andrew Low and index No. 20 then you know. Some more go write your name 2 times. One time normal and the other time SO BIG & BOLD. Need to learn your lesson.

Thirdly. The school counsellors are keeping their eyes closed to one PROMINENT thing that I believe is going on in many classes, including mine, and are even joining in. GAMBLING. Page 63 of the Marist companion rule no. 11.10 Gambling. Possesion of playing cards. Betting with monetary incentives. Playing cards. Do you want to know what is the response I get from one of the counsellors when I told him to catch those people? You want to catch do it yourself. I don't want to get kanna by them. Then he shouldn't even be a counsellor. I think the counsellors in the whole entire school may give me the same answer. Then there shouldn't even be counsellors. Very sad and reluctant to say but NPCC cadets are one of the main culprits. You all heard the NPCC creed. We will always preserve the peace and uphold the law. Mr Koh better make sure they understand what they are saying.

I think after this post I may need to privatise this blog cos of complaints. If so I will invite you don't worry.

The End...

Back

2007-05-10T16:34:00.000+08:00

Yo I'm back. Exams are almost over for some of us. For me only left Home Econs. Oh Yay! Can go practice flute liao. No one will complain I hope. Sadly the Sec 4s are leaving so bye bye Sec 4s. Hope you will come back often.

Life has been ordinary for me recently. Just that I got a few new interests. I am starting to like to watch anime now. I now watching Inuyasha. Yeah so nice. Now his sword become diamond. Haha. Lame. Next interest is typing out the Japanese lyrics for Ayu songs. Cool rite? Just type the romanji then refer to the booklet that comes with the album for the song. Cos I got lots of time. But I actually do it secretly. Haha. I got 9 albums now and my family only thinks I got 2. Muahaha. Oh well.

O.O Band blog got new blogskin. So long never go liao. got time now some more. So cool. But I don't bother making one for my blog. Little time spent on internet you know. Oh well. I'm gonna make icons for some of my folders. Some. Sometimes means tokidoki. Haha.

Chien Teng got new blog. I can't go cos I am not invited yet. Cos I heard there are some details that outsiders are not allowed to see. Oh well. So no point clicking on my link to his blog if you're not invited.

Nowadays I got a list of what to do when the internet is on. And its so messy and time is running out so I am going to end here. Oh wait. Sad to say that those construction workers at the site near our school are much more considerate than marists. Maybe we should have some kind of exchange programme with the workers and learn courtesy. Haha. I no guts to suggest to Mr Kwok. Oh well. And Ern Yeow. I write liddat later he can find his name in Google. Is the seat next to you at the window seat of the bus haunted and only your bag can sit? My bag was still drenched and I still have the courtesy to put it on the floor so people can sit. If everyone like you We would need 50Xs more buses already lor. 50 times more not 50 more. Its alot of difference. I don't want to bother telling you how many buses are there in Singapore ok cos I tell you I dunno.
So just sit there and is it only reserved for Eugene and your bag? Not Eugene's fault anyway. It's yours. Oh well. If you dun want to change then so be it. Can't help you.

Oh yah. I also removed my msn thing. So now you want must get from me in school. My blog song is teddy bear. Nice right? Oh yah. Last time the flute masterclass who came to our school is the princupal flautist of Singapore Festival Orchestra. So cool.

The End...

Unlucky Tuesday

2007-04-18T17:42:00.000+08:00

I better clarify something. Its not that I really don't want to celebrate. It is that I dunno how to express it or something like that. Its like a guy who can't feel pain. He pokes himself but can't feel anything no matter how hard he tries. Something like that. Its not that I want to be bad, so please understand.

Wednesday was SOOOOOOO unlucky. First, I woke up early so expected to leave as early. Instead of the usual 6.50, we left at 7.15. The latest EVER! Cos my sister didn't wake my father up and by the time I realised it was already 6.45. What's worse was that when we got down to the car, guess what happened? NO BATTERY!!!!!!!!! Wah so suay ah. Then gotta take taxi or else gonna be very late. So Father gave me and my sister $10 to take taxi. I had to wait 15min for 1 pathetic taxi. By the time I arrived at school it was 7.39. And the moment I passed by the old band room the bell rang. Then I had to escape. The GREAT ESCAPE began. I climbed up the stairs through the Champagnat Plaza way and tried to go back to class. Then the 2nd bell rang. The Science lab way was blocked so I had to go 1 storey up before coming down at the other side. Then I so suay lah. While coming down, 2 counsellors were coming up then they so me. Since quite far away from the front porch, so they let me go back to clas quickly. Since I ran so much I would be sweating like mad. Then one teacher told me to put down my bag then say the National Anthem and blah blah blah... Then cos I have been running and suddenly stop and stand, all the blood would be at my legs so I felt a bit giddy so I sat down and sweat some more. OK already then I go back to stand. End of Part 1 (Morning).

So good no Maths and History. Means I got free time to go do what I want. So I go J8 the SEMBAWANG to buy albums. Then its like they don't have A BALLADS lah. So too bad for me. So I not sure what to do so I go to Thomson Plaza to find. Also don't have. Wah waste so much time. Don't care lah. Anyway by the time I came home I was sweating like crazy cos of the hot and humid weather and the distance I had to walk from Thomson Plaza to my home. In the end I bought 2 albums. Both quite nice(RAINBOW & Duty). Don't care lah. End of Part 2 (Noon).

Sorry no part 3 haha.

Today went quite smoothly. During English lesson we were allowed to use the imac lab to research on soccer... For a silly English Essay. Can't we choose other things othe than soccer? Not everyone likes soccer you know. Some more its supposed to be about things we are interested in. Haiz... Got a bit of Maths and Science homework. That's all for today.

Oh yah. Do you know that you can hear a resonance if you listen to music on your headphones and whistle out of tune?

The End...

Double Posting and Congratulations on the Gold

2007-04-16T15:26:00.000+08:00

Monday... No Monday blues. Anyway I never had Monday blues before. Its only all those working people who have Monday blues. Saturday, so little people came to practice. Had a celebration. Many photos taken. Of course I did not have one taken. Anyway, for Sport's Day we're gonna play Best Friend's March, Rainbow Breeze March and Pomp and ...something. NO one watn to celebrate with me. Anyway its my fault. I don't care anymore. What for worry about this type of irrelevant stuff.

This was what I wanted to write on Friday but got no time to post...
____________________________________________

Today is Friday the 13th. Truth is, it isn't supposed to be a bad day. 13 wasn't even supposed to be a bad number. Never mind that. YAY! I finally broke the chains of depression which have imprisoned me for 4 days (from Saturday to Wednesday). Just in time for SYF. Maybe the depression was meant to be. But my bar 101 got affected. But never mind.

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! Our band got GOLD! "Band No.98 Maris Stella Symphonic Band...GOLD!!!!!!!!! I'm happy. But you don't see me celebrating. Hate me if you want but I don't have the celebrative spirit. I never really celebrated before. Not because I don't want. Is cos I really don't feel it. I'm happy though. Hard to explain. Oh well. Maybe I just lack this emotion...

Ms Liew is a teacher who always thinks she's right. She always says she checked everything. I feel like saying, what about your eyesight. She's so irritating today lah. When I came to Home Econs lesson today we did sewing. Then I take my table's drawer(Table 3). I saw that there were six bobbins, one of them was in red, and two pairs of scissors. After lesson, we gave it back. She was like 'oh you don't tell me that you that there was a red bobbin and only 2 scissors. Don't give me this type of crap.' SHE'S the one giving the crap lah. Anyway, we did not do anything wrong. There was nothing she can hold against us. She said that if she check our work and if there is any red thread she will minus our marks. Then we go steal scissors from a drawer and give her. What crap is this! She's so lucky I don't sabo teachers. I can sabo people until they don't even know. Spoil people's mood. Alex today so impatient lor. Come show me attitude. Like I won't give him his Literature thing like that. I busily giving out he come say give me mine. Wait a bit more will die meh.

Today band prac got 'a lot of people'. If I have 3 pairs of hands, I can count how many people came today. Anyway, its not really important though. Since the Marches were played on last year's Sports Day. I didn't play cos I was just a noob Sec 1 then. Oh yah. I heard that the high jump highsest for sec 2 is just 1.35m. That is pathetic. I P6 already jump 1.40m liao lor. Imagine I'm just a P6 and join this school and beat all the Sec 2s. Anyway I wasn't that tall. I was about 1.47-8 then. So that means I jumped right up to my nose. Those real pros can jump 20cm over their height. Got 3 consecutive golds for high jump in Primary School. P6 got one guy 2 heads taller than me. Almost lose him. So heng. I like very hao lian hor. I stop here.

I have a dream. Not the sleeping kind. The aspiration kind. I dream that Ayu come to Singapore. At the same time she's looking for a flautist for her new song. Like last time her song Free & Easy got an oboe. Then she chose me. Then we can play and sing side by side. That would be so nice. However the odds are from 0-none. Really. Oh Well. Anyway my sight reading sux. Can't even play Best Friend's March properly. Getting a hang of it though. Should be ready by Wednesday.

That's it for now I guess. Oh yah. Thanks to all those who consoled me.

Depressed :(

2007-04-08T20:09:00.000+08:00

I'm a depressed, introverted, pessimistic guy who does not want to smile anymore and wanted to commit suicide on Saturday morning. What happened to my life! Just last week I was a happy, optimistic dunno what but now I turned bad. Stress is taking its toll. Now, I have barely enough time for myself. Haiz... If not for my family, I would have been dead by now. I have attempted suicide more than 10 times in my life since kindergarten. But I'm slightly more rational now as I have not been thinking about it since Sec 1. I also did not go close to knives and the window. So I've improved. I dunno why but everything seems to be irritating me. I no longer laugh on Saturdays and Sundays anymore. I barely even talk. I think I can live life perfectly fine without a voice and I don't even think people would notice. That is my life. I also don't like eggs, apple pies, milk , egg prata and lots of other things. And I like vegetables. Very different from an average person right? Maybe that's why I seem to be so isolated from the world.

Saturday had an exchange with 10 other schools(or 9). Quite okay I guess. But I can see some people with poor attitude. They were playing with handphones and talking while the bands ere performing. Not going to mention names.

Today is Easter Sunday. Not happy at all. Bought new black shoes for SYF. Forgot to cut my hair. Going to do it tomorrow cos its too late now.

The End...

6 Days

2007-04-06T14:37:00.000+08:00

The previous post was what i wanted to say on Wednesday.But my internet was cut off halfway so cannot post it. So I post it today.

6 days to SYF. """"""""6 SIX six 六　roku(the chinese and japanese 6 is the same)"""""""" six days left! All those band members who read my blog pls practice. Don't waste the whole band's effort. It is like we practised hard for 7 months, gone through high and low, 2 exchanges, so many things have happened. And if we just screw up on one day, which is just 1/210 of the days which we have been practising, it is a total waste of 7 months if we do not get a gold with honours or a gold. Just think about it. All the effort.

Aiya. I'm just gonna talk about today. Today I woke up at about 7-8am. Not sure what time. Then went to school alone. Its Good Friday and I'm going to school. Nice. Then when i arrived in school, I kept on trying to find Mr Cham. Searched everywhere. My bag strap broke! nvm. Then found everyone in the study area. Did Chinese oral. After oral went for band sectionals. So fun. After that father came to look for me. About 1pm. So I packed up and left. Didn't eat breakfast so I ate in my father's car. They went to church and I didn't :X . After that I'm here blogging. Oh ya! I also took a long time to change my blogskin cos there's so much to edit.

The End...

Yo! All of you should know that Maris Stella is on the NEWS. Its about the launch of the go against piracy and illegal file sharing thing. REMEMBER TO WATCH!!! Oh yah. There was a guy who got fits behind my class. I was looking at the floor then I heard something like someone yawning. I turned around and saw some fat guy starting to lie on the guy behind him. I thought he was playing. However, I saw his eyes suddenly turning white then I knew that something was wrong. he started tensing up and straightened out his body. Wah! So scary sia. I got a bit of experience in these types of things. He got fits. You want to know about fits then go wikipedia type epilepsy or seizure.

Oh yah. What's the proper way to wear earphones. The ones that you plug into your ears. Do you sling one across the back of your neck or do you just leave it in front. I dunno. Cos I see some ppl slinging one across the back of their neck but if I do that, the wires look weird. I dunno. Pls tell if you know. Cos if I go to Yahoo! Answers, they would most probably just say I'm an idiot. Anyway, I am so I just don't want ppl saying that to me.

No time!!!

2007-04-02T21:53:00.000+08:00

I got no time so I'm gonna make this short.

I hate mouth ulcers. I always get them before concerts and competitions. So suay right?

I know a bit about dream interpretation now so tell me ur dreams in the tagboard or something then I can tell u whether something good is gonna happen or not. I'm not yet a pro so don't expect details.

I love band. So fun. But so busy. Can be so stressed. Still nice in the end. SYF is in 10 days time. Gonna make a final run to the finish!

Like Ayumi but currently band comes first. After SYF, the tables are gonna be turned. Muahaha.

Dunman Exchange. Err... Nice place they got there. But was all the paintings on relationships necessary in a secondary school?... Performance not so good. I think I did not too good, not too bad. Not sure whether it is counted as average.

Oh, it is 10pm now. Need to buy graph book in the morning tmr morning. Oh yah. Learnt some french. Is the French teacher in this school? dunno, don't care.

Rumbling Hearts over. Probably one of the best animes I've watched so far. So nice story. Sad story. So sad its over. Still miss it. Can't accept the fact its over.

I've now got 122 songs in my WMP. Woohoo! New record for me. Of course lah. The longer the more songs you would have then got more new records.

Now art teacher wants to keep us back for make up class cos he says our class sux. Probably. Whole class affected. SYF is next Wednesday but next Monday still need to go. Haiz...

Oh yah. 1 more thing. No April Fools! YAY! No ones gonna prank me. haha. I don't prank ppl.

Thats about all I'm gonna write. So Adieu, Aur Revoir and Sayonara! For now...

The End!

no time!

2007-03-26T20:44:00.000+08:00

Hi I'm back after so long. Cos of preparation of SYF and other stuff, I'm very busy and have no time to blog.

17th March 2007, I bought A BEST 2 both Black and White and including DVD edition by Ayumi Hamasaki. YAY! My parents got to know later. I didn't tell them. haha. The songs are like so nice lor. My favs are almost everything. I'm gonna put the songs I like at the side of my blog.

Oh yah. Now I like to play pacman, although I suck at it. Pacman Rally is easier to play. It is a racing game then you can shoot other people like blinky, pinky, Ms Pac, Pacman junior and of course pacman and race as them too. Lame.

Talking about Sec 2 camp. Rox n Sux. No time to write details though. Just write the basic stuff. Go star orienteering then run here and there. After that lunch then change to long pants on a hot sweaty day and do rock climbing and abseiling. I was never fated to do abseiling. P5 camp I didn't go and now also can't go even though they make a system that everyone can go due to band. But band is nice. haha. Enjoy aircon while people sweat it out outside. Nice to laugh at ppls misery. haha. I'm not so bad.

Ayumi Hamasaki MVs some r nice and some are just simply weird or creepy. Maybe cos I don't understand a single word she's saying but the songs seem so nice. I'm beginning to understand her songs bit by bit. Wah. Then all her countdown live concerts is she produce by herself sia. So pro. Must be super busy.

Aiya got lots to say but so little time. So I'm gonna end off here. Bye!

The End!

Life

2007-03-16T16:43:00.000+08:00

Today there is nothing much happening here so I'm gonna talk about life. Just imagine there are billions of lives in the world. And every one is different. One may be in those types of rural areas. others are like ours, in the city enjoying the good life. There are also millions of different jobs. That is so cool! It makes the world go round. Without just one of them, there would be problems. Okay this is lame. Nothing to say. Oh yah. A BEST 2 came out already. YAY! I'm gonna but the CD and DVD version as it is more worth it. Anyone know how much it costs?

The End!

Hi...

2007-03-15T16:27:00.000+08:00

Yo! I'm back after so long. No internet for the past week or so. I downloaded Netscape for about one week ago and I realised its not WORKING!!! I just go to 5 sites and it closes by itself. Okay lah, not 5 but around there lah. That one never mind. I recently tried to synchronize lyrics for a song. Got everything ready. Tried to save seems to save. Then go to the now playing thing in WMP then nothing come out. Go back the whole thing disappeared. First time I took about half an hour! Second time slightly more successful. Took 20mins. But it is not SYNCHRONIZED! They just show the whole static one. WAH! Waste so much of my time.

These few days like a band camp. Still got lunch for 2 days. Tried many different positions on the flute. Left side, right side, upside down... The hardest position is actually not switching the flute from the left to the right. It is actually putting your right hand on the left hand position and vice versa. It hurts your brain to play the right note.

So far I have finished all my homework except for the projects. However, I can't complete my art cos my V-sign marker ran out of ink! And art is the first lesson of the school term. I better go buy one before school reopens. I also need to cut my hair. Luckily tomorrow no band otherwise I will die when I return to school tomorrow!

Singaporean record companies are all so poor. Other countries like Hong Kong, Taiwan, blah blah blah all can sponsor Ayumi Hamasaki to go to their country to have a concert to promote her new album, A BEST 2 . Can invite other people cannot invite her. If they sponsor they actually earn money lah.

Today just stay at home and do work lah. Practise my flute and tried practising my clarinet thing with a plastic reed. Nothing to say already lah. By the way, do you think that if you put songs you bought from a cd into the blog will it be called copyright?

The End

Today's Sunday

2007-03-11T16:53:00.000+08:00

Yo guys. Today's Sunday. Today I can say it is a OK day lah. I found out Ayumi's new album already came out on 28 Feb in Japan. Aiya. Too bad it haven't come out in Singapore on 28 Feb. Otherwise I could buy it as my Bday present. Haha.

Wah. Yesterday the band practice is so long. 9hrs long you know. Sit until my butt aching and my mouth hurts. For the first half before lunch Chien Teng didn't come. Not sure what he was doing. The first thing is the woodwinds went to the SRC where Mr Lin conduct us lah. I didn't bring my score there. Haha. The whole of the first flute part I already memorised it so I took Chien Teng's place and played the bar 4 of sunrise to figure 4. After the practice then went back to the band room. I think there was full band. I can't remember. I got short term memory. Then Wang Liang played the Heart and Voice solo. Sounds very awful so Mr Chiang told him to stop. lol. After that Fredy take over until 12.50 around there. Then lunch time Chien Teng came. After that very tired. Can't play. Practice over then they say its Mr Lin's birthday. Happy Birthday! Mine just over. Haha.

On Friday played dodgeball (hamtambola). First match I played my leg very painful so I just happened to be the first one to be out. lol. But after that my leg not pain any more then I didn't get 'hamatam' any more. Then played two matches consecutively. Very tired. Until now my arms still aching. The rest of the day so-so lah. Then recieved progress report. I got 598.7/800. Wah. I got 74.8% average. Almost A1 leh! After that released at about 12.30 liddat. Then have to wait about 2 hrs for band practice to start. Then the Sec 1s came for the second time. One of the flute sec 1s didn't come. I don't know about other sections. By the time I went home I became very tired.

On Thursday I went to the IT show. I bought a Zen Neeon 2 there. Aiya nothing to say already.

The End

Also Keith came to my house to do History project. I said if Ben Loh coming to my house then don't organise it in my house. In the end out of 5 people only 2 came. Haha. oh nothing to say already. Btw, I got something like a clarinet for my birthday. But it is cheap stuff made of bamboo and uses a plastic reed. I suck at it.

The End.

Happy Birthday to ME!

2007-03-02T18:22:00.000+08:00

Hi guys, I haven't updated for a long time. Today is my Birthday! YAY! It is a birthday full of events. Good and bad.
Good : Bad
End of exams : Why must have science exams today?
Reason not to go for cross country : The reason is getting a flu.
Bought some great stuff for my birthday present : Costs a bomb.
No cross country in the end : Go there come back waste 80cents

Good or bad? You decide. OH! Maths I got 31/40. YAY! Actually I was a good mood. Wanted to write a lot of things. Now in a bad mood. Not cos I wasted 80cents. Never mind about that. My mind hurts. This morning, the window was wide open. And there was a mosquito. Bit my hand. It flew next to my ear so I could hear it. I then got up and threw all my pillows at that area. It was 4.30am. I then went to my living room to sleep. quite peaceful until my alarm in the bedroom rang. My father scolded me and I switched it off. It was 5.30am. After that I did my Maths hw and ate oats for breakfast. Then went to school. Today is fruit day. I only ate the banana and the pear is still in my bag. I don't feel like loling. I'm so pissed off. nvm. I talk about after school. Miraculously, I wasn't sick anymore. I went to buy my present(s) and it is like so malu that ppl look at what you are buying. Bought already then went to Mcdonalds to eat. Guess what, I saw RI's Arena Hero. Not sure how to spell his name but I saw him there. The small boy wear long pants is a bit weird, but cute. I pretend I never watch the Arena. Haha.

After that went back home and use the computer until 3pm. Like so late.Then left for cross country. I kept forgetting to bring my things so I went in and out of the house like 2-3times. The moment I left the house, it started raining. WOW. By the time I arrived there, everyone was going home. So lucky/unlucky, depends how you look at it. I feel that it lucky. After that Shao Ming came my house play Pangya. Then I started updating the blog.

Yesterday I started to fall sick. Maybe because of the cross country. Ahaha. Cos it was raining and maybe I caught a cold cos it was so cold, like 24degreesC. Then there was the biggest jam of Mount Vernon Hill. Cos it was raining, my father didn't want me to go walking in the rain. So I reached the front porch and accidentally knocked my head against the roof of the car. The worst thing was when I was going up the small stairs, the bell rung and I had to be detained. I forgot to go to the toilet in the morning and my bladder was bursting! After like 10mins I went to the toilet before I went to class. Chinese test, quite confident about it. After that I can't remember.

Two days ago, at about 1.30pm, bus driver of SBS 7256S(93) scolded students for not moving back. She was in her late 40s, had her hair dyed red and wore the normal sunglasses that bus drivers would wear.
At about 1.40pm, she struck again at the bus stops along Bradell Road. Some ppl kept pressing the bell. She was so pissed off that she stopped the bus stop, got out of her seat, and started scolding ppl. She then vented her anger on the door(which was public property) and kept opening and closing it. She then simmered down for a while and continued to the next bus stop.
At the next bus stop, ppl kept pressing the bell. Even an old woman laughed.
This is the part where most ppl would have missed. She got out of the driver's seat again and blocked ppl coming down from the stairs. She scolded innocent ppl and acted like a clown. She scolded ppl upstairs and said one of them was pressing the bell non-stop. Then she argued with an auntie who was outside the bus. The auntie said that the bell was spoilt then the driver scolded her. After that she regained her posture and continued driving.
She poured out her woes on a malay guy sitting near the front and kept saying ding dong ding dong satu dua tigga, so she knows how to speak malay, that doesn't give her the right to say that she didn't provide bad service. BOO!
Congratulations to all those who read this long post. Thank you. Band members who are Sec 3 or 4, did you take part in the Brother Chanel Cup performance for Sec 1s, pls tag.

The end

Unlucky Day

2007-02-12T19:42:00.000+08:00

Yo! I'm back. Yesterday go Laselle-SIA for the exchange with the Philharmonic Winds. Wah! They are so good. Just play 5hrs already can play With Heart and Voice. Better then some of us XP. We practice 3-4 months already you know? Anyway my bar 101 can't really hear the Chien Teng and Stanley then I don't know how fast I should play. lol. I don't know if I screwed it up but I think I did ok. Then after that nothing much to say.

Talking about today. I woke up and went to school. My father drove me there. Firstly in the car, he asked if I needed to bring my flute. There was no band so I say no. He then said if I brought my school badges. It was in my pocket. Lastly he asked me if I brought my school tie. Oh my goodness! I did not bring it and we were halfway there. Nevermind. I don't know why the bookshop aunty so xiao qi you know? There are plenty of ties at the buy section she don't want to rent. I say I sure return the ties she still don't want. What can I do but to await punishment.

Then morning assembly Mr Kwok said that no assembly then so many people say "Yesssssssss." Then he said he finds it very insulting. lol. After that check attire of course Mr Cham send me to go to the hall. Then the hall is locked and no one is there. -_-'' So just come back to class.

Then art we go see the Urban Guy who bought $25 shirt from ebay, $70 levi jeans and about $100 converse sneakers. So in total, he spent about $195. So rich. Help us photocopy the shirt thing also don't want. Haiz... Then Chinese didn't do anything much. Then recess have the ration exercise. Waste of time. Don't even have enough coupons for everyone. Anyway I don't eat sweet potatoes. So I just finish my Maths and go to the library. The PC magazine haven't even come out yet. Middle of Feburary already leh. After that went back to class for Maths. Go Maths Room then Ms Toh tell me to do Qn5 on the whiteboard. Of course the answer is correct. Then we do the Maths journal. So hard. In the end most of the class did not finish it. Literature nothing much just keep reading the ironies of Au-Au Chan(Totto Chan). Haha.

Then the assembly periods need to do the Valentines Day card. I actually wanted to write "From: Me, To: You" Then Mr Cham say who is me who is you. So I need to write real name. So sad. Then the Total Defence Survey said how do you find this dunno what. I said I did not eat so I do not feel anything.

After that went back home. On the way home nothing happened. Then I going to the lift there is this Ah Pek sitting in the middle of the corridor with alot of plastic bags. I think I smelt chlorine. I'm not sure what he was doing but he was just blocking the way. So I have to walk down the stairs and take a lift up. At home just did the ERP Activity then my mother cut my hair. Take so long. Can't blame her. She is not a professional. After that the hair was all over the floor then I went to bathe and now I am blogging. Actually I wanted to practice the flute today but cos of the hair cut and that I can't play at night otherwise the neighbours will complain, so I can't. By the way, I will not be blogging tmr and maybe until after the CA. I'm not sure yet. And the song Evolution by Ayumi Hamasaki rocks! I now have so many of her songs in my MP3. Btw the current blog song is "Trauma". The end.

So sad

2007-02-10T17:15:00.000+08:00

Hi hi. So sad, this would probably be the last time I blog until my birthday which is next month. But if I'm lucky, I would get to post tomorrow, yay. Hope so. Today I woke up at about 7.30am to go to band. I accidentally switched off my alarm, again, but luckily my father set his and he drove me to school. When I went into the band room, Mr Lin was already there. It was around 8. He keep tuning us and telling us to check on our intonation. He also gave us some very easy pieces to play to check intonation but took it back as it would be photocopied and given to us next practice. Then Mr Chiang took over. Play Heart and Voice. After that there was a break. Then when we were supposed to return to the band room got some people like Fabien and percussion section people came back late. Then the whole band have to fall in and get pumped. 20 push-ups. By the way, yesterday I did 60 push-ups and 40 sit-ups. My arms and abdominal muscles are aching. I also got leg cramps again this morning and my leg also ached. Those few inconsiderate people got pumped extra 15 by Chien Teng. After that we continued practice. The next few breaks no one dared to come back late. haha. Then we still running through the piece Mr Chiang stopped at bar 101 again and tell the woodwinds(clarinets, oboe and flutes) to play bar 101. The whole clarinet section could not play it except Stanley. Albert still can but not so good. Oboe of course cannot lah. Flutes Chien Teng sure can. Then dunno why Wang Liang cannot then I can. Mr Chiang say only me, Chien Teng and Stanley play. Wah. I am one of them now. haha. For the time being only. Then he said bar 101 is not meant to be played by only 3 people. haha. After that just play play play until finish. Announcements, pack instruments then dismissed. Then I waited at the front porch for my father to come. For almost 1 hour. Luckily I got my mp3 with me. I also practice my fingering on the piccolo. Waited so long that Mrs Tey took taxi back. lol. After that chicken rice at home. Quite nice you know? It is from the Thomson Kampong Chicken store along the road from Thomson CC to Thomson Plaza. lol. After that go msn then do my art. I drew quite a nice font you know? Monday come and see my font. But I have trouble finding representations. haha. That's it. Goodbye. So sad.

Friday last day of the week

2007-02-09T18:45:00.000+08:00

Ah... It is the last day of the week already. I tell you what happened today. In the morning I decided to wake up earlier than usual, which is 6am. Then I went to eat breakfast, watch tv and listen to my mp3 at the same time. Haha. Then I got plenty of time to read newspaper. Went to school and first lesson was PE. We played sepak takraw. Wah! They set up the net so high. Then I keep doing the bicycle kick and invent new styles of serving. haha. After that is history. We must play a kind of arena thing. We must write down 10 questions from Chapter 1-6. Then the next lesson must hand up. The teacher will read out one question from Group A then someone from Group B must answer. I'm in Group B. Maths nothing much to talk about except that Ms Toh Ling Ling is going to give us chocolates for valentines day. lol. English I forgot what happened. Home Econs forgot to bring my textbook so I borrow from Keith. Band have new Sec 1s coming in. YAY! Have 3 of them go into the flute section. 1 of them is a Sec 3 PRC scholar. He bought his own flute! lol. None of us has a flute you know. Most of them got a music background. Most of them piano grade 5. Wah! I only grade 3 but I only take grade 1 exam. lol. Then Wang Liang and I supposed to teach them the basics. I take out my fingering chart then Chien Teng came and teach them how to play. Actually I don't really know how to teach but I also want to try. After that self-practice. I go work on the parts that Mr Chiang say I'm not good in. After that the Sec 1s left around 4.30pm. So early. Then Chien Teng teach us how to do a vibrato. The rest who fail go reaudition but got not enough time so also didn't re-audition. The vibrato I tried but it sounded weird. haha. For the first time, I could play through the entire With Heart and Voice smoothly. I guess practicing was worth it. haha. Now I got 8 Ayumi Hamasaki songs in my mp3 player. LOL. Thats all I have to say. Bye!

8th Feburary 2007

2007-02-08T17:19:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone. Today the Chinese Cultural programme has a new project. And do you know what? My whole group is full of slackers. All of them only know how to play soccer and talk. Haiz... Too bad for me lah. English teacher as obiang as ever. Don't know how to dress. She tell us to hand in the work she also don't mark. Don't know why she wants us to hand up. Haiz... Art must find out the 4 representations of one character of your chinese name and create 2 new fonts for that character. For example mine I chose 扬. I don't know any one special with anything to do with this character. By the way, that character is the new writing. I'm using the old one. The chinese software don't have. Then also must go internet to search. Haiz... History. The whole class whole day also don't respond then the teacher keep telling us to stand up then respond by sitting down. I'm not sure but I think there is something wrong with wearing red shoes. She is wearing red shoes. Haiz.. Maths. My Maths base test got 17/20. Then next week got another base test. Haiz... IPW, Hwee Chiat forgot to type out the survey again. Hwee Chiat, if you are reading this, remember to type it out or you know what will happen to you tomorrow. Still have a music project haven't do. Need to find some ancient composer and write about him and do a powerpoint presentation. I rather just play the recorder. Tomorrow got PE. Yay! Get to play sepak takraw. Tomorrow got band. Yay! The end.

YYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

2007-02-07T20:50:00.000+08:00

YAY!!! I passed my audition. Haha. Thank you Mr Chiang and Chien Teng. Of course I also have to thank myself for practicing. But dunno why today I can't play my bar 101 properly. In the Class 3E(not sure which class) classroom, I can't even tongue the 3rd beat properly. But when it was going to be my turn, I went out of the classroom to sit. Then I can play very well. Then I don't know whether to drink some more water. I obviously didn't as I was scared it would affect my performance. Maybe I should have. When I played the 2nd piece(With Heart and Voice), at around bar 173, I mouth began to be very dry. At bar 199, it was totally dry! Then I screwed the whole thing up. Of course at other parts I also messed up but Mr Chiang let me try bar 199 again. Only bubbles wet my mouth. LOL. But I think I played slightly better. I can see him nodding his head at some parts. Haha. After that the bar 207 I also screwed up. My notes jumbled up. I was already very tired. At least I managed to play through the whole piece, unlike Thomas Ang, he only played until after bar 101. lol. I so nervous waiting at the band room until Chien Teng came. But he only came to warm us up. Then Mr Chiang came with the new grades, including mine. Mrs Tey passed down the other grades from behind then they started to give them out section by section. My section only me and Wang Liang get in. lol. I got 59/100. I know it does not look very high but I'm very happy with it. Haha. Highest only get 66/100(I think). After that still got english compo to do. lol. I'm gonna bathe now. Bye.

My Internet Plan

2007-02-07T20:36:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone. This is to clarify why i can go on msn but can't go blog sometimes. I have the weirdest internet plan in the world and most of you may not understand. But I'm gonna say what I'm gonna say. My internet plan is called Maxonline flexisurf. I can sign up for full internet for a limited period. Most of the time 3 days. But even if I don't subscribe, I can use sites that starhub allows like msn and yahoo. Clear? Good...

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-02-04T19:39:00.000+08:00

Today I'm not supposed to have internet. Haha. Maybe I have internet permanently. LOL. I just changed my blogskin. Cool right? Whatever. All those people who read my blog can comment all you want, accept for Hwee Chiat. And don't spam, ok? I'm so nervous about the audition. Hope I pass. On Wednesday then have the audition. I hope they do the flutes the second. So at least I will have more time to warm up. lol. Oh yah! Now the Sec 1s are coming in I hope a few will come to my section. But the first instruments that the Sec 1s went to is the percussion section. So sad. By the way, the SYF band should only have 41 people. And my current band got 70 over people. So they cut 30 over people. Wah! That is alot of people. All of you who reads my blog can go twitter and sign up. Then join me. Haha. The end.

Haiz...

2007-02-03T16:12:00.000+08:00

So sad. Today even though got audition, but got not enough time to audit the flute section. Haiz... You can look at it in 2 ways. 1(Positive): I will have more time to practice and can perfect my bar 101. 2(negative): I will have a harder time squeezing in to the last slot as Chen Wei is so pro. He just need one month and now he can almost catch up with me where I have been playing for 3 months. Maybe by Wednesday(Next audition day), he can play bar 101 as well as me. I hope I improve then I can still beat him. LOL. I will be ecstatic if I manage to get in. Haha. That means today I practice so hard until my fingers go sore still haven't go for the audition. Nothing much to say now. So the end.

I'm Back!!!

2007-02-02T19:55:00.000+08:00

Hi! I'm back after so long. All those who are reading my blog, please tell anyone whom you think will come and read my blog to come read my blog. LOL. Tomorrow I got the audition for SYF. So nervous!!! I really hope I get in. Then I will get more concert experience. Also I will be more ready for SYF when I am in Sec 4. Wish me luck.

16th January 2007

2007-01-16T19:05:00.000+08:00

I'll talk about 3 days ago first. I went to Sitex with my mother at the Expo. It was very crowded. We wasted hours just to find a MP3. I actually wanted a ipod nano but in the end, I got a unknown brand MP3 player called Nomo.
It is so small. There were very little left so I could only get this blue one. It was meant to be my Christmas present so that means I cannot use it until Christmas. And that means I can only use it for 2 days before school begins. I have a band camp after Boxing Day. 2 days later we went back to Sitex to confirm something about the gadget cannot use speaker to play FM radio. After that bought another radio for my mother's room. So heavy. Still got to carry it around. After that we went to the John Little Mega Sale or something like that. My mother and sister bought a lot of cosmetics. I bought a CD to improve memory. About S$17. The graphics not so good. Of course it is not good! It is not a gaming CD like World of Warcraft (WoW). But quite a good CD. Then we take MRT all the way to J8 for dinner. I'm already used to taking MRT from J8 to Expo (take about 4 times in 3days). After that went back home.

Today got nothing much to say. Just stay at home and practice Simultaneous Linear Equation. At first it is very hard. But after a while will get used to it and can do it faster. That's all. The End.

Thailand Trip (Day 3)

2006-11-25T13:33:00.000+08:00

DAY 3: After waking up, we went for breakfast. And there was no morning call. Luckily My family could wake up. However, when we went down for breakfast, the tables were all full. I managed to find one. After breakfast, we brought down our luggage(we were the only family to do so as ours was a 4 day trip and the other was a 6 day trip). After that we walked all the way to the shore and boarded a speedboat. There was sand in my slippers, it hurt. We arrived at a floating concrete platform. There were people para-sailing there. After that, we went to Coral Island. Sand got into my slippers again. There were some nice things to buy but I soon realised that most of the shops sold the same stuff. After that, we went back and it started raining. The van picked us up and we went back to the hotel for lunch. There was no one there so it seemed like the restaurant was booked by us. The Tom Yum Soup was very hot. After lunch, we went to Nong Nooch Village where we watched some Thai boxing and cultural shows. Then we watched the elephant show. The elephants were all very intelligent. They could paint and play different kinds of sport even though they weren't very good at them. After that we went for dinner. The soup was not bad. The other family went shopping while we went to Mini Siam. There were many landmarks of the world all very small and some landmarks of Thailand too. After that we took a 2 hour trip to Bangkok's Asia Hotel. It was the best hotel in the entire trip. We then went to sleep.

Day 4: We woke up, had breakfast, went to the airport and went back home. The End.

Thailand Trip (Continued...)

Day 2: After waking up, there was hardly any time to have breakfast because I did not sleep well. The fried rice in the hotel is not bad. After that we went to Dreamworld. There were some nice places to take photos. There are also some that you can put yourself in. The tour group went in early so most of the rides were not open. So we had plenty of time to photograph. The first ride it took was the vintage car ride. It sounds lame but I like it :) Then I took the Hanging Coaster. Nothing scary about it. Dunno why so many people scream. I took the ride twice. After sitting on the coaster, I went to sit on the bumper boats. My mother and sister were more engrossed in taking photos and videos than enjoying the ride. LOL. After that I took the bumper cars. I hardly get bumped. I only bump people. Haha. After that I went to sit on the Super Splash. About the same as the one in Escape Theme Park but only have one drop and the splash is 5 times bigger. I got drenched. Only the back was wet. After some rest then go to the Grand Canyon. The big float will just float down something like a rapid and there will be some fake goats pissing water at your face. Sick :P After that we went for lunch at a place called THE PAVILION [For Tourists Only]. When I first went in, there was a pungent smell of fried rice. When I went to my seat, there was a horrible smell of poop. After lunch, we went to watch the Hollywood Action Show. They all spoke in Thai but it is what they were trying to say was understood. The only problem was that the special effects sounds were too loud. After that, we went for the Go-Kart. There was this 'irritant' who kept blocking the way and did not allow people to cross. This really slowed everyone down. It really wasted the 100Baht ($4-5) we paid for it. After that, we headed back to the van and started heading to Pattaya. After a 2 hour journey, we finally arrived at the Caesar Palace Hotel. It was quite a lousy hotel. The corridors were not air conditioned, so the flies could get into our rooms when we opened our doors too slowly. And from the lobby to our unit was about 50m away. Luckily we could set the temperature in this hotel. After a quick shower, we went to the van and went to a restaurant. The food was ok. They sold slippers outside so I bought one for 30baht ($1.20-1.50) for the next days trip to Coral Island. After dinner, we went to the Alcazar Cabaret . The performers were all transvestites (Ah Quas). It seemed to be an International show as different acts had different languages. After that, we went to a night market near the hotel. There were lots to buy and I bought 3 pairs of pants and 2 shirts for about 890baht(about $44.50). After that went to the shopping mall. By then, all the shops started to close. Too bad. Then we went to the hotel to sleep.

After that at the airport, a van go fetch usand another family. total 7 ppl including me. The smallest group ever. The other family's trip is for 6 days. So day 5 and 6 they are the only family in the tour. After that check in to the hotel and go sleep. Very tired. The air con SUPER cold. Cannot sleep at all. Almost time to wake up then I switch off the air con. 15min later then got morning call. I don't care and continue to sleep.

Today is Wednesday. Go to school as per normal. And I just created this new blog. Anyway, in school my whole class go for Humanities Forum. Haven't learn humanities yet but it should mean Geography, History and Current Affairs. After that, the recess was for 50 min. . YAY! After recess, go to see the Singapore Youth Acheivement Award (SYAA). I think it is very unfair to all those people who are not so talented in sports. These few years, majority of the awards are targeted at all those 'sporty' people. So unfair. After that go back to class and got back my report book. My position was 6/39 and I got 2 A1s and 2 A2s. Hurray! . I dunno whether D&T counts? Who cares. Anyway, when I came back home I decided to create a new blog and this is my first entry. I have not deleted the other blog but I think I want to do it tmr. The End.
