Went out with yq today... yeah its been a long time and certainly it feels great! Haha =D

Met up with him at about 3+ today.. He had CCA in the morning plus he went to eat before that, so I had to walked around in Orchard from 2 to 3.. well not so bad la.. just walk in Kino and flip through the books.

Went Heeren, cine, taka, and Wisma. Just walking around.. bought 1 shirt each. Haha, I got the shirt that he wants but there is no L size for him, so I got it in the end :P

Have really been a while.. I thought I have lost that feeling...

Back to work now, though.. what to do? There is econs assignment and physics SPA on monday.. shall blog again soon. See ya =)

Past 2 days have been really draine, tired. Sleeping on wednesday night and thursday night almost at 12mn. Not really a bad thing since soon or later I will have to face with this issue.. sleeping late to do my work.

But now I am just staying up doing nothing, hehe

Today is Kia Meng's 18th Birthday. The band is nice to play a birthday song for him, abd I just beat the tempo =P (not very significant anyway)

Gave him the present I have got for him during his break. Thought that I won't be able to see him during his break. At least he showed up before the bell rang =) felt really happy for him with that satisfying smile.. even I felt happy for myself :p

Went out with the class peeps to have lunch, didn't really wanna go out at first but just too sian-ed doing my tutorial.. followed them to prince. It was a good choice to have lunch with them indeed, hahaha

we should go out more often..

Just received words from Ai Wen that percussion guys don't need to go for tml's band prac due to some High School Band Exchange.. muwahahaha.. finally can catch some sleep! =D

Good luck to the rest of the band members.. band prac is fun actually.. haha.. can be very satisfying if can play really well, even at times I can feel really "into" the band when playing together.. though percussion like always loner. =/

Anyway, the percussion peeps have decided on our perc ensemble piece this concert. Muwahaha, don't tell you all what piece first, but all I know is I will be playing the Timpani. O.o they say it is the easiest part la.. haha =X but at least I get to try something new this time! Actually I wanna play other instruments for this coming concert (if possible), ya but have to brush up first la..

Mum is leaving Singapore again on Sunday. My brother and I will be the king of the house once again. =) but sadly.. more work and I don't think there will be enough time for me to play much.. hehe.. I should stop playing too much games too.

Yup that is all.. just realised that its been a long time since I have included pictures in my blog. Will do next time :P

Bye

I know there are a lot of work to do.

It is not that I am so free that I can sit at computer to chat and blog.

I am talking nonsense.

I am so easily affected by things that happen around me.

Caused by me, or not.

Today is a horrible day

so as tonight.

Maths Econs Chem Physics

Had band today.

It was not bad, though

Some things that happened to the people

shant elaborate, but I wonder

things that happen around me

are merely the present

or a circular loop that goes round and round.

The more I want to escape from this circle

the more I found myself stuck within.

Will I still be remembered,

10 years down the road.

Am I still going to be your friend.

Stand by you

Listening out to you.

Or is the path gonna split in parallel direction,

stretching to infinity.

Parallel lines can meet one day,

illogically.

When your heart

and your brain conflicts,

Intuitively

logically

What is your choice?

Suddenly I feel the tranquility tonight, since there is no tutorials due tomorrow, and I finally have time to blog..

Is this peace an arbiturary one before a huge thunderstorm ahead?

Ok lets not be so paranoid.. enjoy while we can. Don't think so much.

This week is week 4, the week before this is week 3. It has been tough

The weekend that just passed is like no weekend at all. Saturday was the practice cum lunch.. reached home at 430+ then slacked the whole day. Sunday did some work but went out at 3pm to meet the percussion guys to buy drumsticks (NOT EDIBLE, swallow your saliva). Went to Pras Basar (?). then we were browsing through the differnet brands of the sticks..

Then we found a pair of sticks which has the brand name TAMA.

"Ooh.. TAMA de sticks har.."

ok a bit not funny. -_____-

ya then we slacked around in the area until almost 6, had dinner at subway and we went for the Philharmonic Winds, with Leng as the concert master and John Boyd as the conductor. Adult bands are really very different.. just have that "aura" and the feel.. pro.. haha, just pro. Even though percussion did not really play a major role in this concert, but the impact and pulse that it is giving is really strong and powerful. Yup, only if we can deliver that kind of impact during our concert, that would be so "wow", hahaha

Then that night lagged in Esplanade for a while to meet up with Pee Leng, feeling quite bored there waiting since everyone is busy tending to their own section mates, juniors, friends. After meeting up with Mr Leng, returned home with Bangky, Si Yao and other band members. Reached home at 1040. Bathe, work and slept at 12.

Monday afternoon went Orchard to walk walk. Went to Heeren, walk around in the area. Reached orchard pretty late coz of sectional in the afternoon. So din really go many places. After that went Popular to see if got anything nice to buy... Saw Yong Jing on the way but i think he was hurrying off to some places so din really say hi to him. Gone, like wind.

Today came back home late, as late as Monday. Stupid H3, really draining me and making me crazy. The tutorials, on the first look, is quite manageable. But after reading through once, good game la.. duno how to do.. still have to do.. else the teacher is gonna be pissed again on friday.. during the mass tutorial..

Yeah, have been feeling drained and tired. Tml is PE and band prac, another tiring day. And STUPID AI WEN changed the sectionals day to Thursday. So we will have another sectionals on thursday.

Friday will be H3 again.. but at least this friday is not that boring =) My friend's bday this Friday. And the class maybe will change to our secondary school uniform (just a random event by the class people). I think i will have a good laugh if someone cross dress again.

Soon, week 4 will be over.

Ok la, shant be so pessimistic.

Smile =) haha, smiles can make people's day.

I was talking amongst the percussion mates yesterday, coz a new girl just joined our section, melissa, who plays the harp! so cool right?

While we are all fascinating about the harp (its hers), Pee Leng came along.

I asked him, "How much does an ordinary harp cost?"

He replied, "It worths more than your brain."

... ...

"It worths more than your number of hair too." I retalliated.

He whacked me.

Lost a long blog post, again, sianz.

Like most post-holiday syndrome, I am again regretting not doing my work consistently during the holidays. Now trying to buck up everything but only find myself breathless and helpless at times.

This weekend is not really a weekend at all, today band prac, wasn't a bad one, but not all good either. Just realised how weak I am compared to the standard of the conductor.

Tomorrow there is a concert to attend at Esplanade. Will be meeting all the perc guys to buy some stuffs and have dinner.

Next monday will be chem test, haven start studying for it.

So much to do, so little time.

Next saturday or the following saturday would be the J1 orientation for band members.

11th May

111 days left.

nice number..

I was feeling quite down yesterday since I got scolded for not doing my maths tutorial and physics HAPPY package. Never like the feeling of disappointing others. I wanna make myself useful.

I thought I was useful, I thought.

I need tonight to catch up on all my sleep. I have been sleeping later than my usual timing. Got scolded by my mum for sleeping late. She needs to know that I sleep late because there is a need. She always sound like I am up to no good when I stay up late.

It is no good to me, I know. I have been getting pimple outbreak recently, oweing to my lack of sleep.

I am trying to finish whatever I need.

I need to cut down on many things.. blogging, gaming, chatting online.

I haven been going out with friends for a long time already. I wanna go out sometimes.

But everyone is so busy, so stressed out, so tired

Some of them are still very kind to me, keeping me amused and attentive during lessons.

But I can see that everyone is really drained, even so I am happy to see some of the weary smiles. Thanks for making my day.

On the other hand, have I been so kind to others before?

Amidst all the studying, we must not forget to stay happy and joyful.

It can help with your concentration and ability to study more efficiently.

Jia You everyone, we will pull through. Dare to dream, dare to work for your ideals.

I thought I would not have made it out alive today. The three consecutive tutorials straight + double lecture and killer GP made my half alive today.

I am starting to hate thursdays =( and friday too! Making me stay back all the way from 12noon to 430. I thought I would be able to get an early day off than most of the people coz I can leave at 12noon on friday. Stupid H3 lesson.. even if there is no H3 saturday still got band...

still catching up with a lot of work, especially maths. Still lagging behind by vectors 1, 2 and 3. Owe Physics HAPPY package topic 8-12. Econs tutorials.. Got do never do also the same. We are still at intro to macroeconomics, the unemployment section! The other classes have finished their second tutorial. wah our tutor damn good man..

I thought today GP would be the worst of the day since it is the last lesson of the day and after slashing and burning the brain cells, nothing much is left that is still functioning. Luckily the lesson is not that boring, at least we entertained ourselves with funny metaphors like Education is my shoes (thanks audrey). Or some more adulted-rated stuffs which I shant elaborate here =)

Finished piaing my A2 just now and my angel's letter. Haha, have been writing longer and longer, I love receiving long letters.. then I can read slowly and enjoy myself. bah, tml still got maths tutorial, I think I will result to doing it during the tutorial again. Now gotta do some background research on the tutorials for H3 chem.. Think that they are going to ask some questions during the mass tutorial.. But it is damn sian la, I am alone in the LT (for the tutorial and the lecture).. at least lecture not so bad coz I can find my friends, but I am not sure about tutorial.. since we haven had our tutorials yet.

ok that sounds so repetitive and lame..

Oh ya, che Hsien is not leaving Singapore so soon already. He will finish his As here and then leave.. I think that is the smart move too. He would have no cert except the PSLE cert that tells the others how well you have done in your Primary school. IP is not even recognised (obviously) in all the institutions. Glad that he would be staying for somemore time.. Then can see him around the school more often too.

sadly I am like the last few who is informed. Had to tell Yan Zhi after GP else he would have made a card for him already..

ya, will update more when I can.. Hopefully not as dry as recent posts...

We often take the things we have for granted.

When these things slipped by our hands, that is when we regret

We become disappointed in ourselves.

***********
I never thought it would be this fast, I thought I still have a long, I thought we will still see each other in school ever so often.

I thought I know a lot, in fact, I don't know anything.

I am disappointed with myself again.

***********
People reunite, people part. Isn't that all something that we ought to face in our life?

I witness the parting and reuniting of life today.

I was talking to Jacklyn on 961 today about my primary school today, suddenly another guy whom we don't know suddenly appeared into our conversation. He is a classmate of bangky, KSPS 5E2001. there is a high chance that bangky will meet him again since his primary school classmate is in NJ now.

To be able to meet up with primary school classmate, after parting for more than 4 years.

On the other hand, I just know today that Che Hsien is leaving Singapore on Saturday. I knew he is leaving soon, but not this soon (maybe I am just lying to myself). He is not going to come back again, he will be leaving for US to pursue further studies.

I really experience the feeling of parting today.

4 years we have spent together as a class.

as friends.

as fellow Taiwanese.

I feel so bewildered now.

**************
I hate this.

I freaking hate this.

People sure like to compare, eh?

Just like aunties likes to compare the prices of similar goods. They will be like cursing themselves to no ends if they have bought some stuffs just a little bit more expensive.

Most typically, students like to compare grades.

I do compare, too.

But I think there is a need to avoid this comparison game.

How much have we unintentionally hurt other people's feeling, when we compare results with each other. Even if you have no intention of laughing at them, the feeling you are projecting to others when you ask for others' marks is not pleasant.

If he is willing to tell you, then he will.

Asking them seems to be just spiting them, seems.

And making them feeling inferior,.

All of us know how well we have done for our tests/exams.

Don't ask.

Ignorance may be a bliss.

To some extent =)

Most troublesome things happen at the last moment, just like when you eat fish, the bones will always appear at the moment when you swallow it.

Stupid HAPPY package, second instalment due tomorrow, topic 5-8. I am still at Topic 7, feel like heck caring it.

anyway, finally able to get the handphone connected to my handphone. Saved my pictures and now they are all nicely in my computer while I get to enjoy a more spacious memories in my handphone. Time to take more photos and videos, hehehe

Scandalous ones especially.

********
Wet weather is making me all feeling uncomfortable. Watery nose + weird throat.. oh ya and the most irritating blocked nose. Just hate to keep sniffing it and no air goes through. Tonight better sleep better than yesterday.. Didn't really sleep well last night..


Nice clouds covering the buildings, hehe, looks so cool. This picture is taken on Friday afternoon before going back to school for campfire.

ok, better pack up for another busy week. good night everyone.

Rain rain and rain. Even my nose is working against me now. darn

It rained a whole lot on friday. It rained so much that it started jamming (yes AGAIN!) even on farrer road. Due to some constuction works at the empress road and farrer road junction, there is not really enough lanes for cars to drive through. Furthermore, the left lane is fully occupied with cars turning left. the traffic on the inside of the lanes is not so bad. but since the bus has to stop along the road, the bus has no choice but to join in the long queue of cars turning left even though we are not waiting for it.

Just I thought I will get bored on the bus, I overheard a conversation between two SJI guys. (No I am not eavesdropping, they are just so happen to be behind me and they are talking so loudly that I think the whole bus can hear them) Anyway, through their conversation, I happen to know that one of the SJI guy is a sec 2 student from Taiwan. (not sure of the other though, he didn't really talk a lot) He was at first, talking about how strict SJI is, what dun let them bring phones into classes etc, then he talked about his favourite subject (which happen to be bio) and how much he dislike physics. Blah blah, then he talked abt his CCA, his future dream school (which happen to be HCJC, I felt uneasy) and some other stuffs which I dont remember now (Now you know how long I waited on the bus just to travel a distance which I can run in less than 15 secs). Doesn't sound like a Taiwanese at all. He speaks fluent english with his friend. Must be that he is here when he is young.

To be able to meet fellow Taiwanese on the bus, I ought to be happy. But I am not.

I felt lost

Before I could realise it, I am already at the bus stop to change bus. I didn't ponder on my feelings further and hurried to school.

Thanks to the rain, I am able to reach school without being late. Reached school at 732am.

Friday is the slackest day of all, so we had maths tutorial, then wrote angel-mortal letter during the next lesson, then went for maths test.

End of the day, 12noon

The CLL peeps have remedial lessons so we waited for them so that we can go out together to eat or something later. Played cards with audrey, ben and elicia at the class bench. We played forfeit :P, audrey tio first. Shant go into the process deciding her forfeit, which is very long. Ended up we decide to let her be the extra in someone's phototaking session. One of the class is taking class photo, so we had audrey run between the camera and the class. hahaha, the pic doesnt have her face in the end, bad timing la! haha

Then audrey got so traumatized that she din join us for the rest of the game. Instead, Jiawei sub her and we went to fishtank and play.

Played bridge, in the end.

Elicia and I lost

Forfeit is to....

......

run into the rain and do star jump five times in the centre of the central plaza.

Fine, did the forfeit in rain with the class peeps laughing their a$$ off.. ok whatever.. so we rematched, played 2 rounds of daidi. This time round, ben and jiawei are the losers and.. we make them do pushup on top of each other. One guy is supposed to lie on the floor, facing the guy doing pushup on him. Ok this just looks sick.. haha, especially when you see jiawei doing the pushup. Eww, still have that video now =X

don't know how much time has passed, but the CLL people are nowhere to be seen. In the end we concluded that we waited for nothing and left out on our own. We decide to go marina square to have lunch and maybe we can catch a movie. Jia wei, Audrey, Elicia, Xin Wei, Junquan, Yan Min, Yan Yin, Yan Zhi, Ben and I went together. We waited so long for 171 to come, and everyone squeeze onto the bus. The bus ride is very long coz of the jam

Let's Jam! -______-

Took like uber long to get to Marina Square. Decided to eat at Subway in the end (I don't go subway very often). I am like so blur and not sure what to do. hehe, in the end eat a footlong italian with beef. yum :p

It was late when we finish eating, so yanyin, junquan, xinwei, yanzhi and I went back to school first while the rest stayed back to play pool. A good thing that we came back earlier, coz the other group missed a lot of the nice stuffs during the campfire :P saw fac dances, fac performance (the athena one is by 07s66, it is very lame... lame... burrr) the athena flag is cool, by 07s6A. Oh ya! Junquan changed back to his RV uniform which look like a white male nurse, jiawei changed to his BP uniform and yanzhi, terence phay changing back to the high school uniform. Hehe, feels like first 3 months again. We even made ben wear the Cedar uniform WITH THE SKIRT and the tie in the toilet. all the girls were like in the male toilet waiting for him to change. Hahaha, look exactly like a tomboy la. (ok maybe worse than a tomboy). still waiting for the pics to be sent around, my camera too lousy le.. hehe, but it was damn funny.. and unglam. lol

Went back to the hall to join in the mass dance and singing session. Become very high and went around in the through-through-train. Wahahaha, yell like crap and now I am having a sore throat (and running nose, must be that I caught a cold when I was doing the star jump in the rain). Did the mass dance with yuekai even though I dont really know how to do the dance also. Everyone just anyhow.. it turns out fine too :P except for some hiccups during the campfire, which is anticlimax, if not the campfire is a very high and successful one. Our juniors are very high.. lol

Supposedly go to have supper with the junior class. Called my mother to tell her that I will be going home late. This is the conversation, last less than 20secs.

“喂,妈啊”

Before I could tell her that I want to go home late, she says:

“你以为现在几点了?”

Then I say:

“我现在要回去了”

End of conversation, told yanmin that I couldn't make it with their supper at Serene centre. Took bus together with them on 174 to farrer road so they can walk to serene. I alighted together with them, but I look at them walk off to serene while I stayed in the bus stop for 186.

zzz

Reach home at 11pm+, luckily she isn't that angry.

Turned in soon coz there is band the next day, which is today.

******************

First band prac of the year, not a very good start especially within the section. Had some conflict between the juniors which I think.. time will heal the wound. Hope that everything is back to normal as soon as possible. run through the Singapore Sunrise which I finally understand the score. Symphonic Overture too, though we played it before but everyone is rusty, and it is horrible :P

Prac ended earlier than I thought, slacked in the music room. Oh ya! Finally get to play the Saxaphone today. Sexy ehhhh.. hahaha. Not easy to play at all la, isnt that suppose to be a blowing instrument? Looks like there are many different way of blowing. Ok la, at least I managed to produce sound in the end (i still remembered I can't make any sound with the clarinets). Probably I still suit the percussion the best. wahahaha. No la, really wanna pick up an instrument, dun need to be too pro, but at least can play twinkle twinkle little star? hahaha. So now I haven tried trumpet, flute, horn, oboe and bassoon. Hehe, so fun to play other instruments.

16 weeks to SYF? That is short laaa.. May 11th..

And how many weeks to A levels? zzz

J2 life is hard, definitely hard. Tough, challenging. We must not give up!

Never say die, never give up!

Ok getting all 自high now.. shall go do work soon. See ya soon =)

Just finish analysing all numbers on utopiapimp and drawing up the plans for attackers. Bah, getting dizzy comparing ours against theirs.

Anyway, today's PE is running! Oh my !@#$!%# god, tired out completely. Forget about the 5 pull ups and sit around panting like a dog.

I am actually quite impressed with Terence Phay. I mean like he dares to face the challenge and do the way he dreams himself to be.

In contrast, I seem to be still doodling in my rosy garden.

This year is full of challenges, why am I still holding my position and not moving forward?

I want a lot of things, but I don't dare to go for it. Face the challenges along the way. Is achieving something by an easier path a more fulfilling, memorable one?

Today is CCA exhibition. But everyone is practically playing cards and sitting around. We are just slacking. People come and go, we are still sitting there, maybe some of them approached and left their names with us. But I feel that it is quite a waste of time..

anyway had our sectionals after that and its like Ai Wen going on frenzy! hahahaha, the juniors are like making her crazy all the time. But our juniors are damn fun one la, hahaha. Bo aura la!

Left school at 6+pm. Went home with bangky. Waited at bus stop for a long time.. think the J1s in NJ just got released from school. all the buses are full.. and we have to wait until an empty 174 came, then talked to him about the J1 stuffs and some others until he arrived at his bus stop.

These few days is really tired, and i owe a lot of homework already! hahaha.. the HAPPY package, maths TJC assignment, econs tutorial. And still got some others I have forgotten and gonna remember them 1 minute before the lesson itself.

ok.. better start work before falling asleep in front of com. hehe, till next time =)

Talking to Jie Han on MSN now. Crappy section junior. -____- Like competing who lamer now. I feel so cold now.

Anyway, school can only be busier. H3 lessons on Tuesdays and Fridays. Band pracs on Wednesdays and Saturdays + one day of sectionals. Then like everyone starting to study very hard for A levels le.. haha, ya jia you =)

Anyway today went SALT centre to get sticks and scores for sectionals tml.. And its like they are having prac.. damn ma lu go like interupt them in the middle of the prac.. then like find duno how long.. then had to ask the SL from the high sch for the scores.. so much about spending my time trying to dig through files after files.

Went band room after going to SALT centre.. Met our junior from junior class.. from clarinet de.. think he is called Wei Yang? Ya then saw Ernest.. pon the games to come to band room.. Chit chat inside the band room with yihuang, ivan and magaret then left for home at 5+

Oh ya, met our juniors yesterday.. hahahaha, took some funny videos.. hehe, our juniors are fun-loving.. now cant rmb many faces though, maybe the clarinet guy, the 2 guys from polo and some others. when they get to go to normal lessons it will become better =)

gotta do some work now.. have been slacking too much.. playing audition and lagging in front of com =X hehe.. see ya!

So school has finally started eh?..

Fortunate to be on MC on the "killer Thursday" where we have lessons all the way till 330pm, with 3 tutorials in the morning and 2 lectures + GP in the afternoon.

Wednesday and Friday are super slack.. Wed ends at 2pm with 1.5hr CT (practially sch ends at 1230pm) and friday school ends at 12nn (but we are only allowed to leave the campus at 1pm, but who cares anyway -_-)

haven had the chance to meet all the subject tutors, our CT/ Chem tutor is the same as last year, Ms Chua. Quite a strict but still a very nice tutor nonetheless. Maths tutor remains unchanged, the forever icy Mrs Yap, still as lame and as cold during lessons. (even in lecture sometimes). Didn't have a bad impression of her last year, but duno why my maths grades are dropping x.X.. hahaha.. Oh ya, our physics tutor changed, but changed to a teacher that we know.. Dr. Lim. I would say i dont have a good image of him trying to teach us physics judging the way he taught us PW last year. Maybe PW is a more slack subject and he is the first time teaching that module, he was a little duno-what-to-do. Nevertheless, I heard that he is a good tutor under physics, much more knowledgeable (duh! Doctor leh) and much more effective when teaching PW. Which is good.. our class's physics really CMI de... Next.. our Econs Tutor.. anyone knows who is Mr Andrew Tan? Apparently he disappeared on the very first tutorial of the year, so we don't get to meet him (anyway i won't) on thursday. However I do heard some negative comments about him.. oh well, I miss Ms Deborah How. She is damn strict and by-the-rules kind but she can guaratee improvement in results (she will make you anyway). So count yourself lucky if you got her!

Done with the content-based subjects. All that is left.. GP.. Yes our new gp tutor is the same as our senior class's gp tutor, Mdm Madihah. (10 years down the road Ai Wen will also be called as Mdm Madihah, hahaha) Anyway back to GP, I would only think that she is really friendly on the outside, looks approachable, but I haven't talked to her personally yet. If what xinwei quote as "披着羊皮的狼" is true, then we will have a tough year ahead. Nevertheless, I thought that she was quite nice.. and ya, apart from the fact that she made all of us do the time scrapbook (yes a scrapbook, we are suppose to do it on a big exercise book, no foolscap) and a wordbank! Its just about the fundamentals I guess.. and I think no matter how much the class complain it as childish.. it will still.. help especially with the weaker students like me >.<

talking about GP.. I have just realised that I lost 4 of my AQs done over the holidays (the last few days of the holidays, hehe). Now either I have to miraculously find it, or I have to redo everything, due tomorrow. I am doomed!

***********
On a brighter side, I have finally found the songs I have been desperately trying to find on the net.. the AuSEA/KAu songs.. spend my thursday (supposed to be sitting in classroom dozing off) more wisely and downloaded the songs off the net. And evreything actually amount up to almost 3GB. Ok la, I am not that kind of hardcore music fan or something, so.. that seems a lot for me already.. but I don't have a MP3 player or something like that.. so I can only listen to those songs at home.. hehe. I am addicted to Audition. some of the songs are really nice.. and soothing to listen even if you are not playing the game. Spice up my room a little.. not so quiet now.. hehe, maybe I should just get myself a headset or something.. so I won't disturb my bro in the room too. Right now both of us use speakers.. so we can't really play audition at the same time. Gotta find time and buy =)

************
Band prac will begin next week and it will be on wednesdays and saturdays! I don't find wednesday but saturday.. just dont feel like going to school on a particular day outside of the 5 days.. makes me feel like there are 6 school days in a week. Well at least.. it is not that boring to go for pracs (err, depends..) but at least.. better than staying in classrooms I guess :P

************
Was reading my friends' blogs just now.. Happy ones.. cute ones.. reflective ones.. disappoiting ones.. exciting ones.. lame ones.. meaningless ones.. Then I came across one of my friend's blog. I can't help to red my eyes while reading through the post. Partly because I felt sorry for him, but as well as feeling sorry for myself.

Sometimes I would think back my days back in Taiwan, and I wonder if my friends back there really missed me as much as he does for his best buddies. I only remembered everything that happened to me when I finished primary 4 was in a rush, it seems like a haste decision to migrate to singapore, I don't even remember really saying goodbye to my friend. All I remember was one of my friends gives me his Email address, which was alien me at that time (I don't even have computers at home).

Then I come Singapore in August 1998. I have no time to make any real friends. Day after day I have tuition, all in for preparing for the Entry examinations in November in that same year. I entered the primary school, but being in a very new environment, I kept to myself most of the time. I do make friends, but are they really the friends that I can last for life? Or they are just there to fill me up while I am in school?

Primary school life goes, so does the secondary school life. Soon will be JC life. What have I really accomplished? Personal achievements? Personal fulfillments? Getting decent grades in various subjects?

If I really do accomplish them, why am I feeling so lonely when I look into the skies at night.

Sometimes when I went back to taiwan, I always wanted to go back to my primary school, hopefully I can find my old teachers and ask them about my friends. Even when walking on street, I was looking out to see if I can find any familiar faces.

Apparently, all I have in my memories is their silhouette 9 years ago.

Naturally, I failed to find anyone.

I don't ask for much, I just want to know how they are doing.

And hope for all the best to them.

All these are just my crazy wishes. They won't be fulfilled.

I just hope that someone can understand what I am going through now.

the left eye is really painful today.. so decide not to go to school today, just in case the infected left eye is contagious.

anyway, was blog-hopping just now out of boredom. Got to know that my friend's classmate is leaving singapore soon. It just reminds me of what happened during the first 3 months, when everyone was so upset about some of the classmates leaving the class for other schools.

Parting is never pleasant, yet it makes the memories together much more meaningful and worthwhile.

We are gonna be sad as our good friends leave us. Are we going to forget about them as we make new friends?

"Friends enters your life, and leaves your life, without you knowing."

It really scares me sometimes. I have heard a lot from my parents saying "this is my university friend, that is the friend I meet when I first entered the workforce, he is the guy whom is in the same unit as me when I was in NS"

But I rarely hear "this is my secondary best friend, or that is my junior college close buddy."

After J2, are we still gonna be friends? Is friendship so fragile that if we don't see each other, it will disappear?

It is just so sad that if you make many friends in your life but they are gone once you lose contact with them.

Does real friendship mean being able to converse easily and freely even if we have not met each other for a very long time?

We can laugh together, have fun together, at this point of time.

but, 10 years down the road, will we be strangers when we meet on the street?

No one will abandon their good friends, but under circumstances, where parting is inevitable, it takes more effort to maintain the friendship.

Maybe that is why most people would rather choose to make new friends?

I would rather maintain the relationships than creating new friendship, if the friend of mine is really dear to me.

************

I find it so hard to express what I really want to convey, it just strikes me hard when there are many things happening around me that I am not aware of.

Maybe I am just disturbed by the thought of friends leaving me as times goes on, or even, I leave my friends.

I realised that I am being too emo, parting and bidding farewell are just a part of life, yet I can be upset by this idea so much.

I am thinking too much about what is gonna happen in the future. Don't dwell too much into predicting wat is going to happen in the future. Do what we need to do, and we will be fine.

First day of school in the year 2007. We are officially J2s now, but I don't have a sense of being a senior at all.

First quiz of the year 2007. Physics Lecture Quiz. Never thought it would be this early.. fortunately it does not count towards the final grades. Nevertheless, we should still be working hard for it, whether it count towards the final grades or not. After all, it is the A levels that counts in the end. Tests, blocks, prelims don't matter that much in comparison.

I wonder if our seniors have gone through the same evolution as us. It just seems that there is endless tasks to be fulfilled, and I don't consider myself already being burdened by a lot of outside curriculum activities.

It is time to buck up.

************

Glad to see everyone back in school, classmates, friends, everybody. I can see that everyone is happy, at least for today, to see everyone in school. Observing our future juniors are pretty exciting, too.

In the midst of brown, we see some white spots. (quoted from junquan)

oh yeah, finally the class book is on the go. Seems that our class is really very organised and structured.. Thanks much to our CT reps. Not necessary a bad thing to be structured and organised, at least we know what we need to do and where we are heading.

Though it can make things boring at times.

Nonetheless, I am still happy being in this class, worst thing could happen is to be segregated from your own class. So we should be involved in more class activities, be around when your classmates are.

Actually, the worst thing is to be ostricised by anyone in the school. Be nice to everyone, don't purposely ignores anybody just because of a few mistakes he/she has done to you.

It is always better to be friends than to be enemies.

**************

I wonder how this year would really be like, SYF coming this year and I would really like to experience how it is like during the competition. There is also the most dreadful A levels. Having no prior experience to O levels, this examination sure means a lot of to many of the IP students, be it experiences or grades.

Not to forget most of us are going to have our very own junior class. Though we may not be particularly close with our senior class, but it is always good to know more people in the school. Who knows if you are gonna meet them in the society later :P

I wonder if everyone whom I know will turn very enthu about mugging this year.. and that they neglect the people around them. If that happens.. then that is really soo sad la.. but people tend to be more selfish and self-centred when the time has really come. Does that mean I have to forget all about my friends and classmates and go into the mugging mood, too?

There is definitely ways to achieve a balance here. Friendship is the last thing I believe to be sacrificed to achieve anything.

It should not even be sacrificed at all.

****************

New year, new start, new beginning, new life. Let's all work hard to make this year fruitful!
