Exams are next next week.....Study break is next week.... Today went to school to check Microbiology A practical results...Not good at all. My culture plates not good at all. I have to improve on my spreading technique. Went to city hall to meet Robin, Kellina and Clare to discuss our group plans for the year end camp. Musical theory was cancelled, so went walking around funan and peninsular with Robin and Kellina. Went to AMK. Wanted to play Generals at Raiders but there was no space. So I went to AMK library to look for some Microbio books. Was too lazy to go back to school so soon. Borrowed a biography of John Henry Cardinal Newman. Went to school to see the musical. Angeline, Kumaran, Pei Suan and Allison were there. It was quite good. I ought to change this layout....

Hmmmm.....On Satuday I went to school for band sectional and beginner's class in the afternoon. It looks like I have lots to learn before the concert....Haiz. Went to Queen of Peace for the end year retreat 'pre-camp'. Basically we played a few games, went for evening mass, stayed up to play games. Oh, they had a nice birthday cake for me and Kellina. Her birthday is on the 25th. Mine is on the 22nd. Damn Luke smeared my cake on my face, so I chased after him and wiped my hands on his face. Slept at 4 am. Woke up at 7am. Went home at 1pm? Lots and lots of good food today. Mother cooked chili crab and popiah. Also had another cake, this time ice cream. Damn full. Mother and Father really put in a lot of work into cooking up this feast. I'm really blessed. Thank God for Mother and Father. At night went out with Allison, Pei Suan and Jun Cheng. Went to Marina south to eat steamboat. Lol, damn funny. Jun Cheng got cut while trying to break the crab. The oil splatterred on all of us. Allison sat on a blueberry and "the juice was seeping through pants" as described by her. Lol....Oh, they got me another cake!! That's where the blueberry came from. Lots of birthday cakes..I'm really a lucky guy....

Lets see...Yesterday we had a four hour break. So Timothy, Jun Cheng, Allison, Pei Suan, Angeline and I went to J8 to eat and walk around. Returned to school at 1230h for COMMSKILLS. Tim decided to pontang. Expected.... Then Allison, Jun Cheng and I went to the library to watch what? Terminator 2....Because I slacked the whole day, I had to pay for it by working at night. Oh, the library has Macross (Robotech)videotapes!! W0000t!! I'll watch them next time....Today went quite smoothly. No lecturer chased for homework...good...Managed to finish E-practical today...good....finished 70 pages of research reading during band....not good because there are 150+ more pages and the only reason why I was doing reading during band practice is because I can't play anything. But I did play some clave for 'Can't take my eyes off you' and one beat on snare drum for Swan Lake. Lol, I get excited over such a small part....And though they let me play ,I'm not involved in Symphonia. It's some school concert. But I'll be taking part in another one real soon....Got to learn the score fast....Haiz, I'm still stuck at 2 bars of simple rythmn and I can't master it. I'll try tomorow, there's sectional. Today some of us went to eat at the fast food side.....Discovered some things that I never knew...Goes to show how well I know my classmates...But I know what they mean when they say never judge a book by its cover. I should go sleep now.

Wah piang eh today....Sibei suay ah...I thought I would do damn well for Japanese..ended up getting 16/40...Basket everybody did so well...damn it....I should have taken a look at the vocabulary list...Learning the hiragana alone was not enough. And I thought I had perfected it..made 3 mistakes in that section... Then there was physical chemistry...Due to my laziness, my lab partner Elicia got C instead of A for the previous report....Sorry!!!! I copied her discussion section but forgot to paraphrase. If I had done that I wouldn't have got us busted. Damn, the lecturer is very sharp. The first sections I did it all by myself. I only copied this section and he managed to spot! Wah lan eh.... damn wasted ah, she should get A but thanks to me she got C. Oh, I got C-. Next time, i'll forgo copying, or at least do a better job at it. Then I was at lunch. Took the soya sauce from the Japanese stall but spilt it. Lol. Came home at 3 something. Couldn't be bothered to do any work. Laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling till I fell asleep. My head hurts now. Went for drum lesson at 7pm. Couldn't play the notes right, but it was still fun. Oh boy, commskills project is due soon and i've barely lifted a finger. Tests are coming soon, haven't revised yet.... Whatever.... Anyway, I went to see the fireworks festival on Sunday. I took my brother along. Went to see the fireworks with the class people, Allison, Angeline, Jun Cheng and some of their people. Ran into some band people there too. Whoa, fireworks were very nice. Nicely cherographed. (Did I spell that right?) Came back at around ten plus? Yah...

Let's see....Yesterday I had Japanese test....Hmm it wasn't so bad. I managed to fill in all the Hiragana. Hope that I can do well this time. Sianz, class test always fail...Luckily those aren't counted. Today went to school for band sectional. Today we did the piece for some concert in October. Alamak, I took damn long just to learn 2 bars, and I haven't mastered it yet. It's going to take forever...lol... Ate lunch in school. Came home. Slacked. Supposed to study but dozed off. Fell asleep at 19ooh. Woke up at 2100h. Ate dinner, slacked somemore. I don't know...I'm supposed to be doing my lab reports but here I am blogging? Bah....

I wake up from a nightmare now In the day it haunts me It slowly tears me apart With dreams of a distant love I'm a wandering satellite Somewhere in the wasteland I see you smiling at me A vision out of my dreams Will everything change ? Take the pain away Lead me with your light Heading for the sun Leave the sadness behind Crossing oceans dry Yeah My world spiining out of time Won't somebody stop me ? I may be losing my way Will you make it right ? Take the pain away Hear me as I cry Heading for the sun Leave the sadness behind Crossing oceans dry Deep inside I go Spirit dreams inside Spirit dreams inside What can I do, I ask ? There's nothing left to say What can I do, I ask ? There's nothing left to say Why am I here ? Why am I lost ? Where is love? Lead me with your light Heading for the sun Leave the sadness behind Crossing oceans dry Deep inside I go Heading for the sun Leave the sadness behind Crossing oceans dry Deep inside I go Spirit dreams inside.... Spirit dreams inside........ Spirit dreams inside................ Spirit dreams inside...................... "Spirit Dreams Inside" by L'arc~en~ciel

Whoa, I haven't blogged for a week. Let's see, Friday went to see I ROBOT with Joshua..Hmm it wasn't such a bad show.. I read the book before, but didn't get to finish it. Saturday morning went to meet some of the legion people for the year end camp discussion. Had band in the afternoon. Went for mass at IHM in the evening. Went to legion meeting after that at Brother Paul's house. The next day...pah...went all the way to Pet's house in Tampines for another meeting, only to find Angela, her and Robin there. No meeting they said! Next time I'll call before going for any meeting. Went to Boon Lay for retreat after that. We held it at Choice Retreat House. Hmmm the retreat was quite fun. Slept during the first reflection session. A good rest for me. Everything went smoothly, everybody had great fun. Went to see Taegukgi at Tiong Bahru with Eugene, Benedict and Matthew. A damn bloody show. Lots of gore. In one scene, the main character kills the enemy officer by digging the eyeballs out. SHit!! He then proceeds to pour petrol everywhere and set the bunker on fire. The whole place combusts in a gigantic fireball. Came home for dinner, rushed homework. Went to school early the next day to copy my report from my lab partner Elicia. Fortunately that day had no Japanese test! Unfortunately it's on Friday and I haven't studied. Yesterday was quite okay. I almost fainted in the library. I looked upwards, felt giddy, lost my balance and almost fell. Must have been too hungry. Went for band practice after that. From 630 to 10, I finished reading the book on microbes I had borrowed. Interesting book. It's called Where the germs are: a scientific safari. Did you know that if you don't shower for a week, the amount of bacteria on your skin is still the same as the week before? Oh, I did my Physical Chemistry report at 1130 and went to bed at 1. Ok. Today damn cock. Got tonnes of homework to do. Then during lunch..wah lan eh I dont know why I keep going to the Indian stall when the service sucks... I asked for a murtabak, and they had no small change. So I went to get some. But I only had 2 dollar notes and they had no coins! It costs 2.50 dollars. Then there was this guy behind me. He ordered 2 murtabaks and got it before me!? But then he didn't want one of them, so I bought it from him. Accidentally dropped my lanyard in the curry. SHIT!!! Ok, I must catch up on my sleep. Tomorow got long day. Oh damn! I haven't memorised the fill-ins for drum lesson....ah screw it ah...

Today I kept losing my temper. Must be because my IMB presentation didn't go too well. Too Ambitious! The lecturer said. Shit! Bloody technical problems..wasted our presentation time...we only managed to cover about 21 out of 51 slides. But we showed some of the slides during Q&A. Damn! And we thought we would do damn well if we had lots of detail. Anyway, we managed to answer all of the questions our classmates threw at us. They were quite impressed. A lot of them wanted a copy of our work. Dunno if real or act only...After all, the questions they asked, we gave to them before hand. Cheating? Was that a form of cheating? If you cheat you can't learn anything can you? But they were learning happily, no? I think they liked our presentation. Hope the lecturer Eunice Tan gives us a good grade. One week of late nights you know or not!! My partner more hardcore ah, everyday sleep at 3, 4 am, next day kao peh kao bu ah want to sleep ah.... Anyway about losing my temper...I was using the computer for CMS then suddenly this pencil holder falls on my keyboard from God knows where. All the pens spilled onto the ground. I was super pissed off and I threw the container to the other side of the room. But I decided to pick them up. Then there was E learning for Japanese. bloody listening damn hard to figure out. Firstly I can't read the characters, so I have to keep referring to my index card. Secondly I dont know what the shit the computer is saying. Kept making a lot of stupid mistakes. Repeated the first exercise several times. Ended up with 7/10. Finished off the second one with 9/10 on my first try. Then I was cleaning up the room. My room is perpetually messy, because my brother cannot bother to keep it tidy and because theres too much old stuff lying around. The bloody wall mounted cabinet above my desk giving the old problem again. Door doesn't stay open. ****ing lousy workmanship. I was thinking of taking the door apart one of these days. Save me the trouble of having to hold the door up with one hand and to put in books with the other. So throughout the whole day I was cursing and swearing silently. =P. Tomorow very song. Go to school at 10 finish at 1. Oh damn, haven't studied my Japanese yet. Ah screw it lah....

Wah lao, I have not slept earlier than 12 am in the past week. Bloody IMB project. The lack of sleep had better be worth it. Basket, if the tutor has nothing good to say, can go die already. Went back to Maris Stella on Friday for Founders' Day with Harry Phoon. Strangely, it felt good to be back. The whole gang was there (almost). Mr Peh came back too. Talked to a few of the teachers, Poh Mah See, Vanessa Tan, Mrs Tan-Chih.... After that we all went down to town to play....... Came home at about 12 something. Saturday, went to school in the afternoon for musical theory lesson. The instructor was late. Apparently, he was late for an hour last week. Luckily I didn't come then. Today he covered the fundamentals of music. Tone colour, texture...hmm what else ah... Whatever lah.. Did some IMB project when I came back. Went to Maris Stella again at 6 something for NPCC POP concert. Wah lao, almost everybody in the graduating batch is a sergeant. Ok lah, they deserve it lah. Then the concert items....wah lan eh.. I think I saw them perform N'Sync's BYE BYE BYE 3 or 5 times....I think this has become a maris stella unit tradition. Every year without fail, this song or some other NSYNC song will be danced to by some boys. I think it started in 2000 or something. Wah lan eh.... Ok I came back at 10 something. Showered, did IMB project. I finished my part 15 minutes ago. Here I am blogging happily.
