I think I really have not blogged for a long time.. Didn't even have an entry for May. (And I actually planned to blog an entry for May one... and only realised that I missed my blog entry on the bus from Pasir Ris to SAF Ferry Terminal on 31 May around 7pm plus... Boo..)
Alright, so I actually POP-ed. Pass Out Parade-ed.
Personally I indeed feel that my physical health has improved (though I said it didn't last entry)... and I feel a little healthier. The irony is that I'm actually having cough and runny nose currently. -_-
In fact, I think I missed quite lots of things during my stay at Tekong.. I was not so up to date on the things that are happening around me. And I really have lots of blog entries unread. My email's full of junk that I didn't bother to open nor delete. And my house's full of mess that I am only starting to clean up.
But I'm left with like 1 more week before I post to my unit, which to me is currently still an unknown. And like what I've blogged ages ago, the administrative people just have to shift columns of names around the computer and that'll really determine what will happen and what I will remember for the rest of my life.
Okok. I needa plan what I'm gonna do for my block leave (110609 - 210609) man! Hope I get to go KBox or some karaoke session cos I really wanna sing, but I'm having sore throat now! LOL but nvm.
That's my update for now bah. Probably another entry for my pre-unit day.
and I really don't have much time to do other stuff other than being stuck in NS for dunno what purpose.
and I haven't been reading up on current news, although there are newspaper in Tekong. I think I'm so outdated currently.
and I am still as quiet as ever. Sigh.
I think I'm quite emo.
Even after some healthy lifestyle, eating the 'healthy' food, and doing lots of PT, I still find myself not really improving in my health status... or simply, I don't have enough sleep. I find myself disliking sleep for it kind of waste time, but, I'm actually quite a deep-sleeper. (Sleep already quite hard to wake up)
Alright, that's about all for my update for April bah.
I still think that 2009 is flying way too fast already.
Wah how time flies, so fast I've already got my A Level Results, which was like rather bad...
Also learnt how to cycle more on a cycling trip to ECP with YS..
Ah.. I totally mind blank liao la.
Lol, my sec sch friends, sorry for pangseh cos I fell asleep (if you all are ever reading this) then end up I don't feel like going. I think I must have been mad.
Hmm.. so I'll be away, can't watch Campus SuperStar 3 on TV for 2 weeks!
No forums for me to surf.. all guys environment.. fresh air and constantly blowing wind?
And will inverse my body clock! (I hope.. Zzz.)
Ok la, just hope everything's fine after 2 weeks. =)
Forgot to blog yesterday... so January 2009 does not have an entry. =(
Well, anyway, January 2009 has been a rather quick month.
I just thought it's the first day and I was watching the countdown then now it's already the first day of the second month! Wow.
So anyway, start of the month went to FCBC for a visit, and I was actually greeted first by a CHC usher... then went to cycle, and SX, YS took turns to tandem me on a double bike.
Then for some jogging sessions on subsequent days and following that, they all were enlisted into NS, leaving me alone...
Went to Guan Yin Temple and outside were lots of pigeons, eating styrofoam!
Then I stoned for 2 weeks before they came out, and well.
Pool outings, park roaming, daytona driving, etc.
So yesterday went to Zouk with YS, and whoa, 11.15pm it was quite quiet, and I was disappointed, a little.
But after that, just danced freely to the music (which kept repeating itself - what kind of House music was it man) and felt better, with much more people also.
There's a characteristic smell of the vision-hiding smoke that would be emitted by machines on top occasionally.
The wonderful only-under-UV-light-then-is-visible chops.
After that went to roam around, walking back from Zouk to Orchard, meeting kind security guard who led us to toilet, purchasing cup noodles and the fork magically disappeared and took videos etc.
And here I am, after one night of random dancing, blogging at 11.40am.
Alright, so I decided to log in just to post something random, and realised that there is a new function of Blogger, calling Following, because I have 1 follower...
Ok, it's already in late December, and school's starting soon! Ah my JC3! Wonder how it would be like! Ha ha ha!
So I think I found something new to be addicted to. Alcoholic drinks. Been drinking quite some for the past weeks, etc. Well, quite some was actually very little if you want the exact amount, but well, it's a lot compared to when I was still not legalised to consume alcohol!
Hmm.. so well I went out one of these days with YS and SX, and well, I was treated to a bottle of 340ml Whiskey with 8.0% alcohol and some kind of cola. Tasted exactly like the first alcoholic drink I tasted in a club - Zouk (read previous post man), but Zouk's was with more alcohol content I think... After that idled for a while before heading home again..
Ok, so what else happened? A week ago went to some KTV Outing with people I knew in a forum, and well, took photos and videos and I realise that my middle-range sounds nicer than my higher-range. Perhaps more training of my higher notes bah. After that steamboat was the dinner, and movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still". Heavy on special effects, and I found myself still not knowing what the movie was talking about even after 1 hour of watching.. but nevertheless, read wiki!
Alright, seems like quite a long post. Just wanted to type something... Hmm...
Oh, and I learnt how to ride a bicycle for some ten metres!
Ah, and my NEC laptop was spoilt, suspect some cable came loose! Gonna send it for repair! Arghs, and I still have some downloads inside which I have not backup! I hope it's just connecting back the cable in the laptop and everything would be fine.
Then it would be heart-wrenching to pay hundred dollars (if lah) for fixing a loose cable!
Ha!
And till next time! Definitely another post before 2009!
I'm blogging late in the morning! Actually it should be late in the midnight! Ha.
Alright, here to say that I've been rotting away ever since 18 Nov.
Playing pool, download KTVs, lots of them. And collecting miscellaneous stuff. Either that, go for services and idle my time away.
It's really idling my time away. I can repeatedly refresh my browser without consciously knowing what I was doing before I realised I've probably refreshed like 3 or 4 times. I've got some 老人痴呆症!
Ah, I said about pictures...
I've always thought this was read as "Thin. t"
So I went to look for information on this kinda of bottles and nothing came out! No wonder!
Ha.
Next picture!
This was a view from my table on Prom Night at Marriott Hotel, 3 Dec.
As you can see, my drink was 7-Up.
I was so infuriated that they keep refilling my glass of 7-up when I haven't even finished!
In order to tell the waiter indirectly not to fill up my glass, I used the Chinese Tea cup cover to cover my glass, and for some time I thought I was successful.
Neither did I thought that the waiter would come along and fill up my Chinese Tea cup.
And that was not the end!
Another waiter even removed the cover on the glass and refilled my 7-up!
In the end I had 7-up the whole night! =(
Okokok enough, next after prom I went to Zouk by taxi and whoa, bunch of cool people dancing around.
Stood and sat around, and got myself 2 "free" drinks, though I seriously think that it was included in the $23 entrance fee!
Drank Whiskey Coke and after that the Tiger Beer almost tasted like nothing. Ha.
Yup. And it was already an event of last week! You just see how time can fly past me.
Very quick, 3 November, then after 15 days or so my A's over.
Actually I was quite numbed yet nervous (contradicting) during that period. It was just like study a lot, look through my past papers, revisiting my past works and trying to gain some insights before I went into the hall/classroom or whatever. Ha.
Ok, so after that I idled my time away, visiting Catholic High for several times, going to KPool to play pool (duh!) and always winning. =X Other than that, went to some chalets by chance and happened to know some new friends. Quite an interesting occurrence. Recently also found a copy of Daytona USA Deluxe so I can play Daytona without going to the arcade.
Just half an hour more and November will be over, I'll never see November 2008 again.
Ok, fine, my blog is still as uninteresting as ever with lots of words and no pictures at all. Perhaps it's time for a change.
Just few days later would be Prom again. Probably staying out to club and chill out! Wahaha. Actually I wonder why would people get drunk (as in, awake but with disturbed consciousness) just by drinking. -_-
Ok shall idle my half an hour away till I reach December lo. Sian, don't know when I'll update. Perhaps I'll go look up some pics to put up. =D
Ok finally blogging first entry in September! (and the last)
I'm finally blogging!
Well, if you realise, I have at least one entry for every month since don't know when. So I force myself to blog so that I'll at least have an entry for September 2008. So yeah here I am.
Life's been revolving doing practices and more practices then going into the hall and realise that I've missed out on studying some stuff. Either that, or I went mind blank on the question I actually studied for.
Then I'll come home and idle my whole day on computer, then I'll feel tired then go to bed to take a rest, then unknowingly sleep until 6.30am. Lol.
Hmm.. forgotten much of the stuff that happened because things just happen so fast that I'm beginning to think that time has accelerated. Indeed, sometimes I did something, let's call it B. Then a week passed, then I thought of B, and I thought it was yesterday or so. I think I'm insane.
So it's 11.02pm now, and my mind as usual just went blank.
I don't know what I have been doing for the past month. Everything seem to just pass so quickly. I thought I had just blogged the last entry, and guess what, it's already been more than a month since I typed here. Furthermore, I feel that I've been living so monotonously, going to school, back, play, study some bits, and sleeping. In fact, I've disliked sleeping even more because it's simply a waste of precious time but it's inevitable that one needs sleep - ultimately we are just beings living on this Earth without even knowing where exactly we come from. That's interesting.
Ok, so today I stayed back in school for some Statistics timed practice. And apparently, before the commencement of the test, at around 3pm, it was broadcast live on TV the table-tennis matches of Korea between Singapore for the Women's Team for Games of the XXIX Olympiad (Click the link haha). And wow it's amazing that in the canteen (there were 2 TVs) people actually cheered and clapped and wooed, and booed at every finishing moves that Li Jia Wei and Kim Kyung Ah made. So there seem to be a great divide in the canteen, one group watching the rectangular laggy TV near the Noodles stall, and another "squarer" TV near the Char Kway Teow stall. I felt that was really, heart-warming, to see everyone so moved by the games.
Ok. So great. Let's see on Sunday whether Singapore would clinch the top position, beating either China or Hong Kong for a prestigious Gold Medal!
And it's really insane. Already 8 days into the Olympics and I just felt as though I had just attended the National Celebration on 8 August, or watch the NDP Parade on TV on 9 August! Haha.
So well, on 8 August, some screw-ups at 91.3FM the radio station which caused soe disruption in the recitation of the Singapore Pledge for the event Connect Singapore, where mainly students around the north-central area of Singapore hold hands together to form a closed loop (which was never ever closed). Well nevertheless, recited the pledge back at school. Haha.
After that went to Botak Jones near Braddell with 05/07 peeps and I guess I ate quite a lot. Practically cleaned the plates. Shouldn't have ordered the extra plate of fries so I could "kope" others who can't finish their fries! Haha.
Well and I'm getting realllllllly fat. From around 45 to 55kg, I still looked so small sized and so short. Have been deteriorating in my health. There's a stupid clot of dead cells which ignites my pain-receivers in my heel which prevented me from walking properly if not I'll experience some pain in my heel. Arghs.
Ok well, so that's about the update for now. Perhaps next month or perhaps I should be blogging more frequently. As usual, my entries are packed with details I guess. But I never seem to remember details for my schoolwork. Hoho. =D
So I received my result slips yesterday, and I got USA!!
It's weird, a feeling I've done quite well, but all my percentiles are all below 50th.
Yesterday stayed back in school for additional Physics lecture to go through the Physics Mid-Year. Seems like no one got A. The solutions made the test seem super easy. 来来去去就是那些东西罢了.
Then stayed back in LT2 to watch L: Change the WorLd. Was enjoying myself with Nachos and some Chrysanthemum-Green Tea. Plot was great, and I like how L solves the cases. Fine example of knowing where to go and what to do when presented with a case. =D Anyway it made me wonder if AIDS is man-made and whether the antidote was available, just not distributed.
Ok, now I've to force myself to study at least 2 hours daily!
8 days feel like just a blink of an eye. I thought I just blogged, but when I looked at the date, 24 June, it seems, long ago.
Ah well mundane life as usual, with everyday different yet the same. Wow.
As usual, crazy with downloading MVs, KTVs, Chinese songs, English songs, and stuffing them into my hard drive, for archival (such a word?) reasons. I just like collecting stuff.
But there's too much to collect.
Ok, let's see what are interesting to blog about.
Today some percussion band came to AJ and performed during the JC2 Mass Civics. Really impressed by the different sounds which those instruments can make. Wonderful. Especially like the one with the 山谷 effect.
Getting tired easily, as usual. Arghs, need to train up.
I really have lots of stuff I wanna do, but I feel I'm just 过一天算一天.
I really feel like I'm in a dream!! This super fast dream takes place all the time, and it has days!! And the days passed very quickly!!
Ok nevermind. So today, finally the 1 month of holidays is over, and to my expectations, I really didn't mug a lot during the holidays, in fact, none at all, only organised my notes, and done a little of READING.
So well, went to AMK Library with Yong Seng on Saturday to hopefully mug for my Maths. Reached there rather early, just before 10am, and wow, I wonder why the demand for the library tables is so high. Haha. And I idled my time away organising my maths notes, to the extent I was described as being "obsessed with neatness". Then I tried out maths questions, and out of probably 20, I only know how to do 2 questions! Alarming.
Went out for lunch and back to find a "friendly reminder" that we've left our items unattended, and that it's not nice to reserve a table like that. Then someone came to share table with us. And guess what? We went pool.
I wonder why, but during and after pool, I feel so tired I just wish I could take a rest or what. Arghs, getting tired so easily nowadays.
And the dream went fast, Sunday, then Monday, FINALLY THE MATHS TEST.
I was still happy at my performance of the 1st question, because I predict a 6 out of 7 marks. Then subsequently I think my performance deteriorated! Ok la, I really have no idea how to do Vectors. Then 1st MI question I supposed to know how to do cos I revised it, but didn't revise for MI for infinite series. Then 2nd one I sub wrong values, can't even find u1, u2, u3 correctly. Then some tedious differentiation. And simple equation asymptotes also cannot find. Zzz.
Ok la that's about it. Then I went home, and thought I just had a dream.
I wonder how the Econs dream later would be like! It's already 24 June 1.50am now and I haven't finish mugging! Nvm, sleep then 8am wake up then mug. -_-
Recently something struck me when I was looking at an ant.
The ant was small, very small compared to me. It was crawling so slowly on the floor, that even my crawl could outrun it. One step from my foot and it'll be in great "pain", "suffering" in agony.
The ant probably didn't notice me at all, for it was too small. But does it mean that I'm invisible?
Let's think that human beings are that small. Perhaps there is really some beings that is so much larger and could determine our lives with a step from their foot, with a blow with their mouth, and yet we could not see it because it is simply too large.
Perhaps that's why many choose to believe in Gods, even though they cannot see them.
Well, it's already been around half a month into the holidays, and it seems like I have a perpetual sense of not doing my work. Indeed, those times when I was already very reluctant to study even during term time, really reinforced itself into the holidays.
I think time really flies. How has the year 2008 been for me?
Well perhaps it's the sense of losing something important. I don't know. I feel detached from them. And it's already been a year. How has the year been?
Ok, what am I talking.
Ok let's see what I've done in the holidays, main structure.
I woke up, started to surf the internet, doing nothing in particular from surfing forums, to downloading even more handphone games, to chatting with friends, and of course to randomly downloading songs, MVs.
I even found the time to use Windows Movie Maker, with mp3DirectCut, plus MediaCoder, and Video Convert Master to help me create my 我可以 which is currently showing on Youtube. I think my singing ain't that great after all. Or perhaps it's because I'm using a lousy microphone, whatever.
Wow, that seems like a lot, woke, surf, download, chat, create!
I realise I'm not so particular about details in blogs anymore. I like to blog with summaries, and with the main ideas there. Well, but I'm still very concerned over putting date references on whatever things. Most of my notes and stuff are dated. And I even went to the extent to unify my Friendster photos with dates also. I think it's very ironic that while I'm particular about dates, I actually feel that I've lost track of time.
Just now, I went down to the Blk 527 Market to have my breakfast. As I walk down the fresh morning air, I feel I have missed out a lot when I sleep the whole morning away and only wake up in the afternoons.
And as I walk, I seem to keep talking to myself. Nearing the market, there were lots of people. 哇,好多人哦
Wow the morning market is indeed very different from those times when I walk past in the afternoons when there would be a lot of empty tables, and some kind of spices and fish smell inside. It's the power of presence of people. Even when they do not interact with me, but the whole lot is forming some kind of interation with me. I feel invisible until someone actually avoided collision with me.
Then I walk around deciding on what to eat. And I ate porridge. Sat on a 6-seater round table, and there I was, enjoying my Pork Porridge. Some groups of people came along and there were no empty tables, and so they shared my table without asking me whether those seats were empty. I suppose they assume that I'm alone, and yes I'm really alone. Then I feel invisible again. But then those split-second eye contact with random people around make me feel I actually existed there at that time.
I walked around more, deciding on what to buy, bought stuff and walked around more. I thought of the past, how the place was like before it underwent some renovations. I cannot recall much, for human are forgetful. It seems like everything around me is changing. Perhaps I'm changing as those things are changing as well.
The trip took me around 1 hour and by 9am I am already at home blogging about it.
How has time eroded the past and created the future? Why do we always long to go back to the past? Is the future not desirable, not good? Or is it that we prefer to return back to when we don't really know that much things, that we can be naive, carefree and just, child-like?
Channel 8 has some Tuesday documentaries (星期二特写) and in there were some stuff about Centenarians. From those times in early 1900s, to the present 2008, I guess many things around them has changed.
Now I'm blogging at the start of the 2000s. Will I grow to become a Centenarian so that I'll see how 2100 would be like? Would those times be a better time than now?
It's only been just a few years' time and I see so many new buildings, upgrading of buildings complete, and also witnessed the disappearance of old buildings, like how the Blk 527 market has changed its looks, though the main structure of stuff is still there. What would happen in 100 years' time?
