So, what's happened in the holidays thus far?

• Reflection that originates from boredom

• Frustration
• Dota-ing (A bit too much)
• Resolution Making - Again!
• Avery Again And Again (Alliteration)
  

Reflection that originates from boredom

I've been bored, just like many others I know. The overwhelming fact that the December holidays are here just leaves you stunned, not knowing what to do, and overwhelmed. Yes, rejoicing may be a good thing but then you soon realise a time waster must be created to occupy your time. However, I decided to dwelve in the deep realms of contemplation, or to put it simply, to relflect on my year. (Nothing to do with Allister's presentation-- "Complex jargon----In essence, it means...")

I realised the things that could be improved on, and then I became emo. Until, of ocurse, I came up with the oh-so wonderful idea of installing warcraft on my tablet so I can play whenever I wan to.

Avery Again And Again

Everyone knows yew. Yes yew, I'm talking to you. (Couldn't help it) Whether its ftp, now famous through most IP/SBGE classes, or horrible puns. (Yew! Haha) Avery has always been picked out by others unfairly. Of course, made worse with his participation in the Chinese Karaoke competition organized by Law. So, surely something has to happen to me.

In classroom 2.13 as we play murderer..........

Everybody thorws their cards to the middle of the joined tables as the round ends. Adhika passes me a form - Yet another travel declaration form. Hastily writing down where I'm going to (Taiwan) and the dates (22th Nov - 30 Nov) I pass it to Ershad, sitting next to me.

Two rounds later, Avery asks me "Are you going on a tour?" "Yes" came the reply. Shoving the form in my hand, I saw it. He was going to the same country, with the same dates. As I asked him which travel agency he used, he replied "The one in Suntec". Breathing a sigh of relief, I continued playing as there were at least 5 agencies in Suntec with fairs there.

A few days later, he came up to me, saying he was going by Chan Brothers. To make a long story short,

I am spending 8 days in a foreign country with Avery's family, much time spent in the same coach bus on long rides around Taiwan. As our parents interact, they discover things about their children or the school that their sons did not want tehm to know, resulting in pure badness-bad-esque-badicity-whatever.

Dota-ing (A bit too much)

Of course by this time I had not much time left to play warcraft (not just dota) before I had to go for the wonderful

BB Company Camp :)

Which shall be rightfully honoured by a post on its own. After company camp, however, I started getting

Frustrated

Back from company camp, I realised taht my computer was damaged beyond repair by a virus. (Yes, less than a month after I reformatted) So, I had nothing to do about it but reformat again. Reformatting may be a refreshing experience once every long time, but this one just got me sian and frustrated. For example, I have not been bothered to do things like install Microsoft Office due to sheer laziness. This has cultivated by activity of

Dota-ing (A bit too much)

I've been spending much of the past few days in choir practice and playing dota. Theres not been much done, just hours spent listening to music and playing warcraft. For once, not on Bnet, finally appreciating fellow classmates appreciation of LAN shops, where there is no such thing as lag. (At least not in reasonably good LAN shops)

Resolution Making - Again!

Has BB Company Camp as a large part to play, and will not be covered here.

Yippee! Thats all I've got to write in this systematic topic by topic approach of writing a blog post. Essentially, this in a nutshell means that

Jian is looking forward to a week's time.

I think.

That is, If I can wrangle myself out of choir practice. Of course, it was supposed to be a dreadful twice a week. Till stupid _ _ _ _ had to say "Why only twice? Have more lah!" (No, not suicidal, just year 6 and not having to come to choir.) The new president, inexperienced and new and new, took this into consideration and decided to have thrice weekly practices! For what? And event I cannot take part in. Genius? Of course. But the pesky bunch of choir teachers with their angry faces covering up a much worse truth inside, will almost definitely keep a poker face while Laughing Out Loud, Rolling On the Floor Laughing or simply be undergoing a period of extremely hilarity inside themselves as they explain "understandingly" of how I'll still have to sing the songs next year. Essentially, depriving/consuming/obliterating the little glimpse left of/swallowing/destroying/ holiday joy I were to have. Yeah right, like the sec 1s don't have to.

Of course, I see many others ponning CCAs commonly as it were something, common. However, they were nto stupid enough to join a CCA with others in the cohort such as "The Prefect" and "The Prefect" and such, which leads me to my next point:

I treat people too nicely. Its true I guess. Someone despised by the general population always ends up being treated by me better than anyone else. SO what happens? They think I'm their bestest westest best thing that happened to them on earth friend. So, of course, my next move would be t back away and make sure tehy don't come near me, resulting in them facing a state of dejection that I'm ignoring them totally. This has been proven true in _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (from 1.11) and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (from 1.9/2.9). Of course, this has been carried over from primary school.

Anyway, if you're wondering why I'm talking about my thoughts againa nd not about school, then I'm sorry to explain to you that there has been nothing in school to begin with. Except for:

• AVERY WO MEN ZHI CHI NI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• !nk -Rolled up newspaper fights
• Nothing
• Slacking
• "Ending at two" = "Ending at 3+"

As for every end of year, I must have some holiday resolutions.* Firstly, less game playing and more movie watching. Yes, I realise there are many TV sh9ows and movies waiting for me that I've always wanted to watch. Also, to stop being so mean to Nat and Adi and to be more vigilant from Andrew and Vista users. Very wary. Really, thats all. I tried those weight loss and diet stuff before, but they all failed because... I don't know, I guess I'll have to wait for the thing, the thing they call a growth spurt. I hope. Really.

*Not all resolutions have to be kept


Ooh! How could I forget! This is the blog's 13th post, and I'm 13 years old! For now. If you've been reading all my ramblings, you should know that:

• I'm 13!
• I'm fat!
• I can't type the properly, 50% of teh time typing it is teh!
• My typing is terrible!
• I'm lazy!
• I'm fat!

If you know all of teh above, good job! You should be proud of yourself. If you don't, you're probably not even reading this!

Thats all I hope.

Apocalypse Day?

Apocalypse day. Sure, it can be interpreted as a day where the smell of meat lingers in the air as the clouds are yellow, the day of Jesus' second coming or maybe, just maybe, the exam results being released tomorrow.

As teachers time ater time say, if you study hard, then you will do well and vice versa. The problem is, I hardly study hard. (Haha bad pun) (Some subjects I do study the day before, but mostly the recess before) Which means after the paper, the most I can ever know is how many questions I left out. Were the rest all correct? Dunno. Were most correct? Dunno. I may be extremely confident about a paper, but receive only a 50-60+ grade. Yet I might be very unsure and get the beloved 70. I never know until the moment that I know. Which keeps me in anticipation, maybe even a tinge of excitement lurking in me. Of course, this might not exactly be a good thing.

Now, no need to dwell into the events of the future. Today, I slacked. Really, thats about it. Sure, there are post-exam activities, but I mean, in the end, will I be that bo liao to remember that ketamine is also known as special K, kit kat, K, and so on so forth? Of course not! I'd be too busy trying to poke Brandy or contemplate the every single detail I notice. Which is not a very healthy habit of mine. Every single thing I see, every event, I start thinking about possible outcomes, the chances of each outcome happening, what the person is like, what others are thinking, or simply the what are the Senior Admin thinking game! Its especially fun to play when its about to rain, and you just KNOW that none of them are thinking about anything related to the devotions about to be shared. Of course, tehse moments are often short lived as the rain would start pouring from the sky, resulting in a chaos which results in everyone slowly strolling back to class, to realise the devotions on the PA system are almost completed.

The last days of school will continue to be pointless, hopeless, retarded, or just plain stupid. We don't want to be there because there's no point. The teachers don't either for the same reason. Yet they have to organize events to waste our and their time, for they have to. I guess thats one of the reasons why some people seem to not appear in class nowadays...

So, I realluy have not much to talk about, as not much has happened. Except for JOSEPH AND TEH AMAZING TECHNICOLOUR COAT! Go go go Joseph you know what they say! I've had the soundtrack for the movie oh so long and I finally got the chance to see it. Of course, go go go Joseph turned out to be the last line I heard before I fell to sleep. I may like the music, but I never expected teh movie to be just... that bad. It was close to Benny standard, just a lot more random. I guess it was made a long long time ago, where Pharoah's being horrible Elvis impersonators was a hot idea. I guess.

Today was the end of a series of events I really looked forward to. The iconic event, of course of reformatting my tablet, which is the first time in a trilogy (yes, I do have an obsession with trilogies) of reformatting. Year 2, 4 and 6? May be not 6. Nonetheless, every 2 years it shall be done. XD

Also, I would like to declare that this blog will no longer be posted on everyday, rather posted whenever I see fit. *Transit**Completed*

So... This thursday we will be getting out results back, and next thursday will be the last day of school. Both I look forward to. Of course, the events filled in between will be complete with ranom goodness and badness. Extreme boredome overcomes us as we sleep, sit, stand and pretend Fonny is a pokemon. Yeah, that was quite fun.

CCA's are probably going to start soon, which is probably the only thing I do not look forward to. :(

Anyway, today has been spent rather eventfully. Since I reformatted my computer and couldn't find my wireless internet password since my brother wasn't home, I decided to play spore, which I did till he came back. After which you could find me having multiple downloads at a time with many installation wizards for all the software which I could not feel at home without. Now everything on my tablet is so free, fast, spacious and full of possibilities, hopes, dreams, aspirations, goals, aims, blah-dee-blah-dee-blah. What is true though, is that I have been anticipating this event for many months now, only to feel weird for tehre is no sense of satisfaction inside, just a feeling that my indiana-ish drawing was not backed-up. :(

Sure, some bad things have happened, including the fact that my head keeps filling up with love songs (probably hanged out with Rohan too much), which I must admit is quite disturbing.

Still, nothing can break the wonderful post-exam joy, except a chinese cultural camp. But surely that won't happen again, will it?Sure it can't, it simply cannot, I will not accept that as a chance, no, never.

Back to the present, our school day started with Facing the Giants (been there, done that...) with much plot spoilering to Rohan throughout teh movie. :) I also realised that after the vidoes we've watched in the past, (Benny- The difference between an adjective and an ADVERB!)its actually a very good movie. Then, teh two science teachers came in with great succession, both attempting to go through the answers for the exam papers, only to be persuaded by us that it was not worth it as none of us were listening, promptly chasing them out of class. Then came math (no show by our CT), then history, which was just a TKS, ending off with PC with Law. (no show by our CT)

Blogging, is, in essence keeping a diary. The oldest man alive says he keeps himself alive by keeping trackof his life and keeping his thinking going. He said that the key to longevity is to actually keep a diary. No, no ginseng, bird's nest, shark's fin, essence of chicken, soup or tonic water. Just keeping a diary. So I guess it is good for me to keep a diary. It doesn't matter if others read it, if no ones knows it, its the satisfaction of ones keeping track of ones life, even if there is no one to laugh at your witty humour. (haha, bad joke)

Blogging=Diary Keeping=Long Life?

Ah, I wish it were than simple, I just wish...

Unofficially Over

Well, to me exams are unofficially over, with me left to describe everything which happened since friday.

Friday was the second day of exams, with the life science paper before the math paper. The life science paper carried on the happy spirit since thursday on the easy (-ness? -city? -esque?) of them. Then came the recess, which had little work done because there wasn't much to revise on. (Nothing much was taught anyway, right?) Then came paper 1, which i scraped through quite confidently as I could eventually answer all the questions. After that, the infamous notorious horrible dorrible terrible incorrigible paper 2, where even QYJ, Adhika etc. left out some, no matter how little. I left out one of the worst in class, with 13/50 marks for paper 2 left empty. Then again, there were worse than me and many left out 9-10 marks kinda thing. Looks like no one will be getting near to what they got last year if teh saving grace of moderation does not appear anytime soon. After going home I slacked the whole day away before going for cell. It seemed to be opposite day in cell, with Sec 1 guys actually outnumbering the Sec 2s (2 of us), and the MGS girls and such outnumbering the normally dominant RGS. It was fun though, with Ian Tatt taking over again, though if you're reading this blog you probably don't know who he is.

Then came saturday, speeding by faster than you can say "John Johnson". Nothing much happened, except for the hellish conditions during the history mock test, where there was no air con for the first part with a full lecture theatre, and Gavin ang didn't bother opening the doors so it was quite a while before it went back to normal. (ACS I may have air-con eevryone, which is good but bad because all the facilities were not created for ventilation. When the air con does not work or simply won't be switched on, conditions are rather intolerable.(They even screwed in all the windows so they can't be open. (Except for Andrew, who brings screwdrivers to school everyday. (Finally something good about him, eh?))))

Then came Sunday. I went out for lunch, and slacked asll the way till after dinner, when I realised it was too late to expect to study well enough for history. Therefore I launched something to salvage the time I had left, something of a bailout plan, which instead of being rejected was quickly agreed to by myself. My plan was to study as much as possible on both immigration and economic history, so that I can study only half of the items. On top of this, I would only study what I deemed important and if I couldn't finish I would continue during the 2h recess on today. I couldn't. On top of this, I soon was informed by bc that the recess was not 2h, but only 1h long as usual. This looked extremely bleak, buut i managed to coax myself into sleeping soundly. (Though already later than other normal exam days.)

As usual though, everything went well for the history paper, except for the hypothesis question, making we quite sure I will get at least 70, to get a whole year score of at least 70 for history. :) Chinese writing didn't go too badly either, though thats what I though last year and I got like 35% for it. The evil rating of the teacher marking your compo is very important I guess.

Right now, I'm waiting for dinner to start revising, as in my opinion there is not much to memorize for tomorrow's papers. Running very dry of ideas to rite about today, I have nothing to do but

The Best Day Ever?

Today was the best day of the month. Sure, exams schmexams, but still wonderful things happened. It all started when I woke up, and I didn't feel like dying. That was wonderful. For once I didn't feel like collapsing back on my bed the moment I woke up. However, for precautions sake, I still proceeded the buy a coffee from the canteen, which proved extremely useful as it woke me up further, keeping me awake throughout the LA Paper 1, without which I might have slept or felt too sleepy to continue.

The LA paper went perfectly, with me finishing with 15 minutes left to go. I decided to count the number of words (943, btw) and when I was done counting there was exactly 1 minute left to go. :D (I'm a slow counter, I know).

Off for a break, I spent half the time sitting underneath the bench BC, YJ, Natty, Fonny and Mr. White Indian were sitting on, eveen though there was a space for me. Because there were less distractions (almost all noise was buffered out by the legs of the above mentioned (kinda like what we learnt in geog, trees were used as buffers of sound though)) I managed to study extremely effectively, memorizing more than I did the day before.

Grabbing yet another coffee, (this time nescafe, stock just arrived; in the morning the lady said they didn't order it because it wasn't confirmed to be free of melamine) I met Ms. Jacqueline Yeow at the drink store. I guess it was a good omen, having the wish of luck from the teacher teaching you the subject for the paper you will be taking in 10 minutes time.

The invigilator for both papers were PE teachers. First, Mr. Lee? (can't remember, PCT of 1.12 last year) then Mr. Rasdeen. Mr Lee? (ditto) was replaced by Chee Hwai Mei and Mr. Rasdeen was replaced by Susseela (bang bang yudiyuno (sorry, sounds nice)) (or however you spell it). For those who do not know what Chee Hwai Mei is like, here is a glossary for terms she may use.

• S-L-O-W (slow, duh)
• S-T-U-P-I-D (stupid, duh)
• KPO (KPO=K Po=kaypoh)
• KS (KS=Kia Su OR Kia Si) (both applicable, she used it to tell us to write index numbers on every page)

She also uses MANY short forms for writing, for words like :

• between '|'
• therefore (the three dots thing)
• and many others, too numerous to recall.

The geog paper started quite badly, because I did not memorize about half of the question's answers. But it still went surprisingly well as some answers came to me only fifteen minutes after I skipped it. For those I had no idea of, I guessed. And when I guessed, it meant 4/5 answers ended up correct, with teh last hopefully earning me at least 1/2 mark (I hope).

So there, the best day this month. (Sure, sure, its only been two days; doesn't change the fact that it was wonderful though.) Hope tomorrow is just as good, if not better! (Hope will keep us alive)

What holiday?

Today is a public holiday. What holiday? You may ask. You ask those around you, they can't be bothered to take their eyes of their Geography textbook. Its that time of the year again. You look forward to holidays, yet holidays the day before exams are really an oxymoron. An oxymoron that deserve to be stoned to death. Something that makes you so frustrated that you just want to call it a gigantic chicken backside.

No doubt, even I have been studying rather intensely today, leaving only time left to eat and write this blog post. Yes, starting to study one week before the exams itself seemed a much better idea then. Not any more, it seems, with me to read through the whole geography textbook today, and memorize it at the same time. An hour seems so short to the years or months ahead, yet one extra hour of studying means a lot for studying for an exam paper. Nerds no longer seem like nerds, they just laugh at you because they didn't have to stay up till late just to be prepared for exams.

Theres nothing much to post today, except that the rest of Singapore who faces no sort of thing such as exams are filled with festive cheer with Hari Raya Puasa goodness. Lucky people. Of course the CPE (Chief Presiding Examiner) and PEs (one of whom thinks the CPE and other PE are very cocky people) thought nothing much of this holiday, except that it would give us more time to study. While everyone else in the family is celebrating, of course, with guitar hero being blasted from outside, with the amazing race being watched in the room, with my only study partner who isn't on MSN being music. Coffee or tea is no longer a drink, they are necessities if anyone were to mug without sleeping, or at least to keep ones eyes open. (Sure, sure, red bull helps too)

Now, I had better get back to studying, for impending doom tomorrow. With an appropriate impending doom timer for the atmosphere.
