Its mugging time

Hello there faithful readers of this pretty boring blog.
I have found sometimes to update....at almost 2 am in the morning...
Quite a lot of things happened since the last time i update...the previous entry was continued after 1 week.

I must say that I admire people who can update their blogs everyday, man, how can some people be so consistent??? 0_o

Anyway, I will give a brief detail of the last week's happenings which I think were quite interesting and FUN albeit the exams.

Tuesday was nothing much.I went out with War for free lunch(my weekly salary for tutoring her in case you're wondering) and yeah...talked and talked and talked some more..we went to mos burger at taka.I personally feel that the one at shaw is better in location cos its quieter.I ate some eel rice burger and thought it was delicious.I think i will try all the favours by this year. But thats about it for tuesday, I cant remember anything else eventful happened on that day so yeah...

Wednesday was tiring...dead tiring.Me and Tania rushed off after school to buona vista MRT to meet Binghuan to work on the ASEAN project.We were on time..yeah but Tania didnt get to eat and she didnt feel like eating even after that.She was seriously sick.I mean, she kept on saying she was very cold although it was oven-heating temperature for me outside.She was wearing school jacket some more -_-' And I was sweating from head to toe(i meant it...my legs and foot were wet).So we took a bus to NUS and worked at one of the media labs at the computing/science falculty building.also during the bus ride I realised that ACJC is extremely near the MRT,within walking distance.No wonder i always see so many of them whenever i go there for dental check-up.We were really productive I think. We gave the frontpage an extreme makeover and it looks very pro now.Binghuan came up with the idea but all of us worked to make it happen.yeah...so whilst tania design the layout, binghuan and me worked on the HTML pages and got some stories uploaded.but after a while we felt that using HTML codes to do this is ridiculous and decided to stop and use dreamweaver to do it instead next time.

By the time we called it quit, we were done with the frontpage design and binghuan is really nice to agree to link all the pages up by the time of presentation(6 OCT).The 2 of us only have to do up the logos and post them to the yahoo grp for the committee to vote.I already did mine.

Man, i was so tired after the meeting I felt really sick as well.oh yeah...during the MRT ride, i got to know binghuan better.I guess I know him better than Tania does cos I'm more talkative, always ask questions haha.."its good to query"...but not on this stuff haha.Anyway i did that mainly cos I dont like silence and yeah...i asked stuff and the flow began..so yah..hes nice la,seems cool but not that cold.get what I mean??? haha.

Thursday...err I had tuition?but yeah thats about it haha

Friday..ENGLISH EXAM!Bah...I didnt know that reading through the O level english ten year series really helped that much.I got my inspiration for my compo from there.I believe that its unique but I have no idea how i will score cos sometimes, when i feel confident of my work, it turns out that i scored low, vice versa. But for report,i know that i did well.The language used was darn sophiscated man.i think i got a flair for writing reports and complaint letters haha.Compre was quite all right.I didnt make silly mistakes and felt confident of the whole thing.but some questions I really think that I wrote crap.

The later part of friday is much more interesting though.Me, War and anna, as discussed last fri, went to town before going for french.We went to Heerens cos War wanted to buy some hair bands and since we were in heerens, we decided to take neoprints first before going to eat.Man...i look so freaking white but the pics are chio haha.love the poseurs pic hehe.So fun..but I still owe war quite a lot of money I think.shes generous enough to lend me.I'm always the one borrowing money man...oh well, the 2 of them are rich anyway.Not that I manipulate them or anything.i always return the money so yeah..oh oops now talkin about money, I realise I still owe war another 60 cents so its basically a few dollars I'm owing her there.DONT FORGET TO PAY BACK CHRISTINE!!!

After the 2 sessions of neoprints, we went for lunch at LJS(not lillian jean simms,lol, but long john silver haha).I ate some rice paste and yeah it was nice and worth it.LJS is cheap..i must say cos the whole thing is really fulfilling.Then we wanted to go bowling but the bowling alley is close so we just walked around, oh yeah we went to paragon to look at cds, war bought 2 cds cos she cant resist the low prices. 11 bucks???its seriously cheap.I listened to the secret gardens.SO NICE.SO SOOTHING.I went back there today and get the cd =D

After that, oh yeah, we were in front of orange julius cos anna wanted to buy some ice cream when this lady with her children came up to us and said: u are from crescent?? I was from there too. I was telling my kids this is crescent uniform. LOL. we were pleasantly surprised.nice lady.first time I got approached for such reason. She must be fond of crescent still...Then yeah we went to french and SUCCESSFULLY CAME LATE!! hahaha....a lot of ppl will go "huh??" for this one but yeah, we are always early and even sometimes when we tried to be late we never came close to do so.but that day we DID.lol...lame...its CRESCENT turn to be late haha.

kkz...this entry is way too long liao..i still have one more event to tell but tmr kkz..I gotta go sleep..its 2.30 AM.yepz...night ppl..or izit morning?? =P

Quiet strength in a brutal world

I have been having this strong urge to blog but finding either no time or the opportunity to do so.I have quite a lot of reflect,especially when the past few days have not been great.

I want to clear up a few matters, especially issues regarding my health. I'm fine, I dont have any serious sickness or any diseases.What I'm having is a simple muscles strain on my left(and sometimes right) shoulder and my neck.For my breathing, its probably anxiety disorder.3 doctors have made it pretty clear that there's nothing to do with my heart or lungs so the only thing left that could have cause it is underlying stress.Stress that I'm not aware of, stress that I dont even know exists..until now.

It causes me to wonder whether anxiety and stress are really robbing me that much of my youth.Until yesterday, I have never the thought of regarding my family as broken.I have always believed that we were fine the way we were. Although my parents were divorced, i was little when it happened.I guess it had never really affected me that badly, probably because I was too young to understand the pain and seriousness of the situation. I only have flashes of a few fights they had, fights that ended in deafening clashes and screams of anguish. I remember vividly only 1 occasion when my dad furiously hurdled a teacup at the TV after a silly argument over which channels to watch.

I guess I had been affected.But who wouldnt be? Even a heartless child would be.Its too strong a feeling for anyone to surpass.After all, family is the basic unit of society, of our lives.

Our whole family will go for a counselling session soon.Many times I flitted through the pamphlets with counselling sessions in it and skipped the whole thing, didnt I know that my family would be attending one soon. Never say never.Another lesson from God.

Whatever it is, I hope everything turns out all right.I feel like there would be a lot to talk about..that is if I agree to/feel like talking.But one thing I know is, God is in control.Maybe He believes this is one thing our family has to pass to become stronger and more united.Just dont stop praying.NEVER stop trusting.

With God everything is possible.

Leave me alone to die

I cant believe it.I have lost faith in all doctors and shall NEVER become one.wtf, he ruled out a solution without listening to ALL what i have to say.Go f*** off.I cant stand the attitude.

Oh yeah, if nobody cares, who should i care??I shall go on suffering from this and nobody shall care.So why makes a big fuss eh?Yeah...I shall continue to endure it, shortness of breath and my pierching shoulder and neck pain and LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT.Its my problem isnt it???Its nobody's else so why should they care huh??

Oh yes, its "nothing serious".OH YES, IT'S MY IMAGINATION.

Fine, if you dont care, why should I bother to tell you whatever heck problems i have?The next time i hyperventilate or have serious breathing difficulties, I SHALL NOT LET ANYONE CALL MY PARENTS because it does not make a difference.

Just piss off.
Get out
Leave me alone to die.
I'm sick and tired of ALL OF YOU

Life is so fragile

I read a guy's blog to find out that one of his classmate is diagnosed with cancer.I also read the testimonial by his mom posted in his blog.I cried.

Life is so fragile, oh Lord.I just want to live day by day now and be thankful even for my mere existence on this earth.God create his children for a purpose.I believe that God created Sam Chan for a purpose too.I dont know him but I have strong sympathy for him after having seen how cancer took away my loved ones.I pray to God He will not take away his.I'm keeping the guy in prayers and so are other friends and family members.

Well the reason I wanted to blog wasn't really about that if you think it was. It was more of my own health condition. I dont know for sure what is going on but I know its not something too serious after checking websites for symptoms that might match mine.That calms me a little.

In case some of you dont know what i'm talkin about, i have been having difficulties breathing and constant short breathness since tuesday.As I said in my previous entry, I have had this for years but it only becomes very serious this few days.I have no idea why.I'm sure its not the exams cos of all exams, why this one???Something else must be the reason and I hope I'll find out soon when i visit the specialist this weekend.

Honestly, this thing really affects me, both my studies and my sleep.I couldnt sleep well and my thoughts always got disrupted when i have to stop thinking to catch my breath.I dont know what will happen in the exam room when time is limited and much has to be done.I think somehow I need to bring this to the teachers sooner or later cos it REALLY affects my concentration.
The medicine seems to help cos I have no problem during and after mass run.for a moment, I also seemed to be breathing normally.But then again, if i'm depending on medicine to breathe properly,something is the problem.As long as the effect of the pills wore off, it returns to affect me as bad as before.

I'm not able to pray to God yesterday as I was trying to sleep early.But today i promise I will.I need to tell Him.He needs to know.He's my father, right?

Expect the unexpected

Today was quite eventful..not in school but after school.I was not expecting anything like today to happen but it did and yeah...it was like a shock to me.

I sort of hyperventilated. It was panick attack but when i went to the net just now and did some research on hyperventilation, its the second stage to hyper itself.I mean, if I didnt go home and had pushed myself to breathe harder, I could have REALLY hyperventilated.Dunno what will happen then...

Honestly, i was finding it hard to breathe after lunch, I have not a clue if lunch was the cause but whatever it was, I didnt expect what was coming.I have always thought that this kind of thing would never happen to me.One way of God to prove to me to never say "never". Yeah, well thank you God for restoring me and I'm quite ok now.I'm not sure if I should take PE tomorrow and it might result in some serious case so i'll think twice before making the decision.I sure do not want to cause the class another inconvenience and loss of time, especially when the exams are so near.

Oh well, Sar is sick these few days.I think she influences me to be sick to. Hah!lol just kidding la..but yeah I kind of miss her presence there.She always make me laugh, sort of brighten my day and then it sux to sit alone although you have more space.Oh well...GET WELL SOON SAR AND COME BACK PARTNER!

IP

Have I ever tell you that I hate IPs?
Yeah If i have not i'm telling you now
I hate it
i hate MOE
I hate the people who thought of it
It brings tears, sadness, confusion and much more
It makes me sway from side to side
It makes to think twice

But its too late to think now actually
The decision is final
Yet it makes me sad, jealous?
I hate goodbyes...

To Jamie
I'm happy u got in
I'm sorry to see u go
i wish you success
I wish you the best too
May you always remember Crescent
Always remember whacky 1C2/2C2
Always remember dance :)
We will miss you...lots..

*Dont be the first to say goodbye*

updates

Argghh...I just typed out a paragraph recapping the champion seminar and its suddenly GONE!!!man what the hell...

Sigh..anyway yah...champion seminar is all right, in short, the only highlight was the food haha.Oh yeah i was saying in the other disappeared post that we had buffet lunch.So something was very funny at our table.Gen and another gal kept bringing back plates full of food and said, "we should take this first cos later the food might run out" LOL.So we ended up having to eat a lot more than we can chew.Yet all the plates of food were finished =D and we kept getting stares from ppl who walked past our table haha!Oh yeah the souvenir is a mug with different ccas' logos on it.Inside the mug is a mini version toy of winnie the pooh.Cute!

Hmm..ok..then now is the hols.Oh yeah did i tell you about the meeting for ASEAN stories with the ASEAN scholars?Probably not.I shall give a short recap here.

Monday night I followed Persis to SIF headquarters to have the meeting with the scholars.The meeting's objective was for the scholars to tell us their specific stories and how they want the webpage of their countries to look like in the end product.Meeting them was fun I guess cos they were from the 10 countries(ok...9 cos representative of Burma was not there) and they were nice people.So what we did was me and Persis went around to the different representatives to write down notes on their specific wants and needs.i also had to clarify their doubts, my doubts and some copyright law stuff.It was exhausting really, 2 hours and I thought i would be there just to listen.At least we had done something solid during the 2 hours.Well the conclusion I have is that me and Tania have a lot of work to do. A LOT.I mean...we need to meet deadline and stuff and we have exams coming in 4 weeks.I hope with our perserverence we will somehow make it.

So after that i went for dinner with some of the scholars who didnt manage to eat earlier as well.Since the food court is closed, we headed for KFC cos one of them got discount vouchers.I ate chickens and yeah..it was nice.I was talkin a lot to the Philippino girl but she was very nice though.And all of them can speak english very well.Also, there was this singaporean representative and a malaysian-chinese representative who were damn crappy la.But they made the whole thing fun haha.So yeah, there you go.Pretty much everything was there.I cant give meeting details of course (DUH).Next meeting is schedule this friday and our meeting with Persis is tmr at my house right in front of this computer HAHA!

Okie...yah...so these past 2 days I had peerleaders' training camp.It's taxing if you think of the fact that we spent basically 9 hours in school from 845 to 5 pm.Yeah...and the next 3 days of the week would be filled with choir practices..Gosh...WHERE IS MY HOLIDAYS???

Hayz..Limewire sux.I cant watch movies there.what the hell??I'm switching back to ares.yeah...Bye!

Christine saying au revoir!

Just want to be me

My parents are Again getting on my nerves.Why is it always have to be them?I dont know why I'm going through all these usless,mundane lectures they are trying HARD to get me to listen.I have absolutely no idea why Im still taking in the crap.And I thought they dont tend to exaggerate problems.

Such a small thing can become such a big issue for no apparent reason.And yeah, the card thing is not like i LOST EVERYTHING.no I didnt.I would NEVER again do that.I have idea why i misplaced it but the thing is over and so get a life and move on.I shall get it replaced in nov when I got my passport.I just think that parents are sometimes a thing that we have to put up with and many a times they dont understand whats REALLY going on and what we, their DEAR children are thinking.They just dont have a clue.

I feel like every teenager goes through this stage where parents are just an obstacle you have to learn to pass.really..thats what i feel like.I feel like in order to pass this, I have to get all the As, dont go out, dont do anything wrong, have PERFECT memory and OBEY them.If thats what it takes, I'm giving it up.This is hell really.The more I think about it, the more I want to go to a boarding school and stay there.the more I feel like I need WINGS to fly.The more I feel like I should ignore all these crap.But hey, God put parents there for a reason.Whatever reason it is, its not something i want to hear for sure.

Talkin about God, i have been spiritually dry.I have not been reading the bible and doing devotions at all this week.Sometimes, it takes me great effort to do so and its not out of will.I dont know what happens but I think i NEED to pray more, for His mercy on me and his forgiveness of a child going astray trying to find the way back.At least I DO want to go back.Thats God isnt it?When you feel like you are going away from him ,He draws you back to him with his divine power.Thats why Hes the supreme God and the Father of all creation, the person i know I TRULY trust and LOVE.

I dont know whats wrong with my template.The pics are not there and the background is very dark when I visit it.I hope its ok later on.This happens sometimes but maybe,something is really wrong.I have to check it out...

ooh,cant wait for singapore idol ;).Christine saying au revoir.

Teacher's day

I have exactly 15 mins to blog.I have just drawn up the schedule for my revision today so i have to stick closely to it.

Okie,what do I have to say? hmm..yeah,yesterday was teacher's day celebration.The concert was better than last year I think.And there was this act by 4C2 which was so funny that all the teachers were also laughing very hard.It was about teachers and how they were portrayed in their youths(or when they were younger).LOL...I was laughing so hard there were tears in my eyes.They did a fabulous job man.It was better than those skits by ELLDS.

After the celebration,I rushed back to RMPS(radin mas pri school).I was rushing not because I was that anxious to see the teachers but because Sheila was waiting for me so yeah,I didnt want her to wait for way too long.But she ended up waiting and doing her chinese homework so it was not so bad.We met Sushmita as well.We went around with sushmita for a while.We went around the school.I have to say that its getting better by the year.Last year, it was new but it was plain but this year, there are paintings and the toilets are very chio and clean.Not bad at all I must say.So after while sushmita excused herself and went back first.We went to see Mr Seah, Mrs Lim-Lee, Pan lau shi(Mrs Ho), Mr Low(sort of) and yeah...thats about all the teachers we saw.We didnt see Mrs som nor Ms seah as they were both not present.I met quite a lot of old friends there.Wei Jun joined us on the hunt for teachers for a while too.

It was..not that bad.As usual,when we go back and see the teachers it's always like that..hunting for them and then talked to them for a while and left.I met Justin there too.He was wearing his tie which makes him look much better without it.I think all boys would somehow look good in ACSI uniform.

At about 1.30 me and sheila left.I took a bath and then rushed to orchard shaw house to catch Bourne Supremacy with Bo Chao.This was also the first time i went to watch a movie without buying any drinks or food.It was ok I guess.I was full so didnt feel the need to it food.The movie was good.Yeah..It was an all right follow-up of the previous I suppose.But the video is not as clear,or should i say the actions...i still prefer the previous although I like this one's plot.Its so much clearer.

Okie,I lost my ATM card and dad WOULD NOT give me my IC so i can replace it.but fine...when I'm leaving for jap or for vietnam i would have my passport and I can always replace it then.No big deal.oh..they havent thought about this i think MUAHAHA.They think they can stop me from getting it back?NO WAY.I'm pretty cunning dont ya know??

Okie rightie,gotta go work now.Bye bye.Christine saying au revoir!
