Went for xiaolongbao buffet with vball peeps today. Omg, I ate like gazilliion xlbs. And, the sichuan thingy is damn spicy. Went to daily scoop after that, and now i'm back home. :D
So, while everyone is enjoying their post A level activities, I still have one damn paper on the 3rd of dec. That really sucks. It's one day before I go KL leh. How liddat. On a brighter note, today's econs was awesome. I thought it was quite easy (sorry people) and i think cos i studied for the essays which didn't come out, but it came out today! So yeah. :D It provides a more guilt-free enjoyment after the paper. Haha sounds like some ice-cream advertisement. :P So yeah, tmr's soccer with peeps, heading to Bras Basah to buy stuff for church camp, and some guitar strings, and then slack the whole night away. Sunday, church, LAN, shopping. :D
This is the life man! :D

Even though there are 2 more papers, tmr and 3rd dec, I'm acting like it's all over. But sigh, the playing and all doesn't make me feel better cos I know I screwed up so many papers, Econs especially. Damn Econs, damn it, I really can't get over the fact that I paid 400 plus bucks and studied 3 years for this, and they try and change the style of their questioning, which I totally can't answer. Why can't the questions be like N98 or N04, which are normal!!
Okay I know imma mess up my As already, but I definitely won't be retaking. Anyhow, I've plans after As already. I have a job interview next Monday, and probably can start work next week. I need the cash for my Nikon DSLR. And, I applied for SYFC (Singapore Youth for Christ) Extended Sports programme, called Project Serve 2010. ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) graceaik if you're interested, can join me! It's from 2 Jan - 13 March. 10 weeks. 2 months of intensive sports stuff (including getting certs and learning to be sports instructors), and 2 weeks of mission trip overseas! More can be found here. Project Serve 2010
So i'm pretty quite hyped up about the job thingy, cos it'll keep me busy, and i wanna take driving too! And play volleyball in PJ and Fairfield, wow so many things! :D And my parents are contemplating going to HongKong or Brisbane, but if it's too ex, I might not go anywhere. :/
Winning Eleven 2010 is out, and my parents have promised me either Rock Band/Guitar Hero, and I'm gonna buy them all! And also new camera! Can't wait for it all to be over man.
Okay, Econs P1 tmr. Bye!

Finally a break from exams! for 1 day. Heh. Start work tmr! Played xbox all day with spencer and christopher. Giggling screaming and laughing. Gosh we sound like girls don't we. Hahaha. Anyway, came across 2 videos in these 2 days, and I think they're both awesome.
First one is my sec 3-4 class video montage for our form teacher, who loves maths ttm. And I look super young in the video hahaha! Try to spot me! I had so much fun in 3D-4D, here it is!
The second video, is Lady Gaga's new single, Bad Romance. I think it's awesome cos she's so damn artistic and all, and her videos are so different from the rest. So intense, so raw. Her's is, wow, indescribable and I love it. Here it is!

I really have to thank my lucky stars God. really. Yesterday i was crushed by Math, cos i don't get vectors(planes) and I never will. So that's about 3 questions blank, Q1, 4 and 10. But today, my morale came back on. Was feeling average before the GP paper, drank chicken essence and all, prayed alot, and GP, i daresay, was okay. Heh. But I was super super scared for Bio cos I didn't even study a few topics, like respiration, translation and transcription. I just couldn't understand, and didn't have the brain capacity to memorise it. So. I just trusted God, I asked him to give me the grades I deserve, but I think he told me, I'm gonna give you more than you deserve. So. In all His goodness and grace, whatever I didn't study for didn't come out, and what I studied for, came out, for essay s'more! Yesterday night i was studying carbohydrates and photosynthesis, and amazingly, by God's grace, both came out for essay, same question. There was another question, but i could choose b/w 2 essays, and i didn't know how to do the other one cos didn't study also! REALLY THANK GOD!!! :D The day of craziness is over, now it's 5 more papers, evenly spread out! AWESOME.
/edit
You guys have to realise that I dreaded bio like mad. so this is a really good thing for me. :D throughout the year, i've never passed bio, in my life. so it's an awesome breakthrough! :D

Yknow what I always wanted? I really don't care if my As flunk. (But i'm gonna try and do well for those who expect me to do well). I'm gonna get a place in the S-league. My dream, as funny as it might sound to you, as unrealistic as it might seem, is to play for Singapore. Those of you who are sniggering right now, you just wait and see.
I have always been thinking about soccer, watching every week's soccer, thinking about what I would have done differently if I were in any of the strikers' position, and learning from the pundits, visualizing every move I'd make when I'm playing. Sigh, it's like, an obsession that can't be stopped. I think about soccer every single day.
I'm obsessed! I'm gonna get myself a job, watch me!

In Christ alone, I place my trust
and find my glory in the power of the Cross.
In every victory, let it be said of me,
my source of strength, my source of hope
is Christ alone. |

Okay so i was in the library on thursday, and guess what. This china man who was sitting at the same table, started picking his nose and eating it. I was so damn disgusted I went home.
Yesterday, I was in the MRT going home from cell. Then the train stopped abruptly. Guess what the train driver said. "Err, there will be a slight delay because, er... the train in front ah, got ploblem. Sorry for any inconviensssse caused ah. Thank you" in a chao ah beng tone. I was like LOL. People around me were laughing too. Joke seriously. Idk whether to be ashamed of our english or to laugh it off. I mean, if we wanna speak singlish in the comforts of our own friends and family, fine. It defines us singaporeans. But if you're holding a professional job addressing a huge crowd, speak proper english la. Seriously.
Anyway, today I had Ikea meatballs, and went to queensway to buy a man utd jersey. super happy now! :D

Was going through my phone inbox just now, and I realised I haven't cleared my msges since March this year. I took about nearly half an hour scrolling through all the msges and deleting most of 'em, and it brought back so many memories, and it just made me realise how fast this year has flown by. So many msges of encouragement, especially during the tournament period, God I miss those days.
Went back for volleyball yesterday, their last training in school till A levels are over, cos the hall's being used. It felt damn awesome to be able to whoop their asses yet again, despite us seniors growing fat. Heh. Went for fairfield volleyball last sat, cos I was really getting too fat, so I had to exercise. Both in fairfield and pj, everytime i step into the volleyball hall, i feel a sense of belonging, somehow. It's unexplainable. People accept me for who I am, and they don't judge you by your academics, they don't judge you by your skills, we just play ball. That's partially why I love the sport so much, the people are awesome. Ironically, most of 'em aren't christians. What does this say about the rest of us? Anyway, my juniors in fairfield asked me how come I'm not in army, told them I retained and they didn't give me the "oh-how-can-you-be-so-dumb-to-retain" look, they just laughed it off and made a joke of it. They still respect me, and I'm most comfortable around them, and I thought, oh, maybe cos many of 'em retain also (yeah they do), then i looked at pj, where all the vballers are darn smart, they also accept me for my academic incapabilities. Just yesterday we were talking about retaining, it being okay and not affecting anything in life. If anything, it makes you stronger. Even my laoshi thinks so too. I think vballers are damn awesome people. :D
Was scrolling through Twitter just now, and saw some headline news, about some NS guy dying. Everytime I see these kinda headlines, I panic immediately, cos all my male friends are in the army, and I get really really scared when I see things like these. I always click them to make sure it's none of my friends.
To my friends taking As, please don't give up now. Let's all press on! Two more weeks of hardcore mugging and we're done for life. Never, ever lose hope, and don't think you can't make it. Miracles do happen, just trust in God and make sure you do your best, God will definitely deliver. :D

| Learn my lesson |
[Oct. 28th, 2009|12:09 am] |
Tonight the sunset means so much
The one thing that you know you'll never touch
Like the feeling, the real thing
I reach out for that sweet dream
But somehow the darkness wakes me up
I've felt this emptiness before
But all the times that I've been broken
I still run right back for more
You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now
You'd think that I'd somehow figure out
That if you strike the match
You're bound to feel the flame
You think that I'd learn the cost of love
Paid that price long enough
But still I drive myself right through the pain
Yeah, well it turns out, I haven't learned a thing
Sometimes I think I'm better off
To turn out the lights and close up shop
And give up the longing, believing in belonging
Just hold down my head and take the loss
You'd think that I'd learn my lesson by now
You'd think that I'd somehow figure out
That if you strike the match
You're bound to feel the flame
You'd think that I'd learn the cost of love
Paid that price long enough
But still I drive myself right through the pain
Yeah, well it turns out, I haven't learned a thing

I didn't study at all today, cos I was so tired, flu medicine makes people drowsy. I slept when I was about to study, like I fell asleep on the table, and somehow I ended up on the bed. If my mom didn't wake me up, idk how late I would have been for cell today. Sigh, being sick now sucks. Flu since thursday, and i've been on self medication, which makes me really, really groggy.
The past week or so, my clique's discussion topic during breaks and all, like the thing that we talk about when we're eating in the canteen/cafe, is surprisingly, about sex. And that got me thinking about how people's mentalities of r/s and stuff are very, very warped. Warped in a sense that people are treating it as not a sacred act anymore, and it's like, whoa, most of my classmates think sex b4 marriage is okay. Where then, do our values lie? Have we become so americanised, watching so much of gossip girl, 90210 blah blah that it's removing our principals and values? Idk, i feel like i'm the only one who's the different one.
People think being in a r/s, you must 'act' within 1 month, if y'know what i mean. I'm like, whatt? if you don't do it, you're slow. seriously. idk what to say already, this shall continue another day cos medicine's kicking in, and i'm gonna sleep now. bye,

quick update. principal called me to her office yesterday, i was so nervous. she was pretty nice about it, she just asked me what went wrong for my prelims and encouraged me, basically. I nearly went crazy yesterday, literally, cos i had so much work to do, really really alot. but i'm so thankful for those who encouraged me, and i guess God kept me sane, i nearly broke down. omg the stress of a levels is damn damn crazy. can die.
today flu and headache. i slept most of the lessons today, was so so tired. my throat was damn damn painful, but i managed to get through the day, with God's grace, and yeah, i still stayed back in school to do some work. I'm still feeling quite unwell, idk if i should go school tmr.
meeting k.ong, yx and evan goh tmr night for dinner! :D
