Amidst the grueling task of revising and prepping for the examinations, it's glad I managed to find some time to update and write here.

I shan't even begin how screwed I am for prelims, but I'm just glad I'm beginning to see some glimmer of light at the end of this really long tunnel.

I feel that I've understood most of the syllabus, just a lack of practice on questions, but on hindsight, feelings can sometimes be deceiving, but oh wells, at least there's a feeling right, unlike for the previous block tests.

It's been really nerve-wrecking to know the exams are looming by and yet still feel you are far from completion. Can anyone reassure me that they are feeling the same way too???

I'm really glad my parents have been encouraging by saying stuffs like, it's ok, just try your best, or a simple relax, just take it easy. Despite their calamity, I know deep inside they fear for the exams even more so than I do.

Hahaha, so I'm really glad they are doing their best to calm down my nerves, it really does help to soothe my anxiety and stress level, especially the Royce chocolates they buy...

I'm really glad I went for MAF by the way, despite wasting my whole day as a result, it was really different watching the grandlight up as an audience, not an organiser. It really feels heartwarming to see yet another successful grandlight up go by.

Not forgetting the sodache sessions as well, haizzz..... memories.

So guys, anyone who's reading this, don't stress yourself too much ok, there's still some time to go and it's important to get your mental health right before anything else!

Jiayou everyone :)

National Day Celebration today was awe-inspiring in a brand new way.

It was definitely shocking to see the whole auditorium which was filled with stressed out J2s, standing and singing the national day songs with a certain degree of pride and fervour.

It gave me hope for the future of our young nation and of course the soothsayers who question our pride and loyalty to our nation.

Iype's question during CT session was thought-provoking, albeit presented in a humoured way. But credit should be given to him for being brave enough to transcend social stigmas and pose such a question to the rear-admiral.

I thought about it for a moment, and like him, I would definitely be staying to defend for the national security and peace of Singapore in times of war and crisis.

I may not be the most abled and heroic warrior out there in the battlefield, nor am I well-equipped and knowledgable enough to devise new long range missiles which can match those of North Korea's Taepodongs. (but at least I am pes A)

But I believe staying back and fighting it out with every last ounce of muscle you have is something the least every abled soldier should do for the nation, not run away or chao keng to become a clerk.

I may be afraid in times of war when all of us would be stuck in trenches avoiding bullets, but the thought of fighting it out against the enemies with brave people like Navy Jonathan Soh, Commando Iype etc will give me courage and camaraderie.

That's how I feel right now, patriotic and willing to fight it out even with taekwondo black belts North Korean Liberation Army soldiers.
But somehow I have this feeling everything will change once I start BMT... The irony.

Today's bromance day was rather well spent.

Afternoon was spent with s77 janus brothers eating after our 3 hr bio lecture. It made me realise how much we've been through since orientation last year and at the blink of an eye, we are all graduating soon.

It made me rather sad and all, but of course, I got over it pretty quickly because I am emotionally well-managed.

Night was spent at Sunset way, with the OSL peeps. It was really fun and fulfilling and we got to know more about Terence's secret life that has been so well-kept and hidden.

This weekend break is coming out pretty well, though I have work and tuition to attend to. But at least I will be prawning on Monday. Hahaha.

Hwa Chong would be proud to host one of the nation's trickiest and wicked math teachers.

Even though today's math paper was quite manageable even to my weak standards, is filled with potholes and traps all around the seemingly innocent 12 questions long paper.

None of the distributions theory I have studied or will be studying can explain the highly intriguing marks distribution of the paper. The last 3 questions of the paper boasts a staggering 40 marks out of the 100 mark paper. So if you think you are safe with 50 mins for the last 3 questions, you're not!

The last 3 questions were mathematically tedious and the probability question a particularly tough nut to crack and digest, given that you are already out of gas by that time. A misread of 2 words for that question has resulted in a loss of 6 lifesaving marks, which is like a bloody grade. Chee bye to the max.

It's total time and energy wastage doing a full whole question thinking that you  have already gotten the marks in the bag when you realised after the test that some niggly crap robbed you all off it.

But whateverrrrrr.

I am so happy that man utd has signed for Owen. In a way, it's a very smart and definitely calculated thing for sir alex to do. Why splurge 30 million euros for a frenchman whose eyes are clearly set on playing for another club, have problems conversing in english, untested in the rigours of english football and not to say overpriced player when you can opt for though a aged, but nonetheless experienced player who was once the shining gem of the England squad.

Owen is a free agent please, that makes it super worth it and even if he gets injured, it won't really hurt the finances and performance of the team much.

But somethings are definitely true, this off season transfer period has been a case of Man Utd scavenging off the refuse bins while Real Madrid sweeping everything from the shelves.

But in Sir Alex I trust.

Three weeks have come and gone by not just in a flash, but by a very rapid flash.

It's like the memories of the first week of holidays spent on sporadic studying are still floating around vividly and awfully clearly within my mind. How back then, I felt I had the luxury of time to relax and chill, and poof, now there's only a week left before school begins.

Like I can join the legions of people who wishes for an additional week of school closure because of the pandemic virus, but I am born a fighter, so I will bring the fight to the block test paper and take it nonetheless, irregardless of whatever revolting grades I get.

But secretly, I'm praying for the best, even though I feel my progress has been hampered by 1) distraction from others 2) distraction from the various forms of mass media 3) turn off factor from the sight of the tons of unread notes and 4) innate unmotivated soul which has greatly caused such great lethargy in my studies.

But hopefully, i can turn on my fighter spirit and salvage any last scraps of hope I have, haha, yes I can.

Throughout my term, I had never expected myself to enjoy myself so thoroughly while undergoing my duties and roles. ECACO treat was great, it was a worthy break from the reclusiveness of mugging.

It was strangly therapeutic, not so much about the food, though it was great, unexpectedly, it was the familiar burst of laughters we shared, the remeniscence of the goofy things we've done, the stellar results we achieved and also the failures we've met.

I never thought this group of people would leave such a great impression on my life in JC, neither would I expect myself to be a part of theirs, and looking back, I am truly thankful for them, for being who they are and also who they are not.

The dinner was heartwarming to say the least, though all of us were obviously worn out from the stress of it all, deep down inside, we knew we've been through it all, and we were there to give everyone else the support they need.

Thank you so much 35th ecaco.

Studying in school has been getting highly distracting and I really need to do something about it, but how?!!?!?!?!

But I'm assured everything will always turn out fine, and I choose to believe in that. Hahaha.

Anyways, she's damn cute. Hahahaha.

Hwa Chong may be reknowned for its academia intensity, avant-garde research and recreation facilities and the ability to churn out all-rounded scholars year after year.

But are we all really prepared to face what belies us within the comforted walls of the school?

The dynamic duo of Raffles and Hwa Chong may be sending large batches of students to the likes of UPenn, MIT and Cornell, but not as widely acclaimed, there are extremely bright poly students who have managed to make their way into NUS medicine school and the Ivy Leagues, the very same spots all of us are vying for.

Yet, they've so much more to life than just cramming for exams in school during the holidays, get to school punctually by 7 each day and engage in the mundane and cruel cycle of rushing for assignment and getting by the school discipline system.

Haha. Do you seriously think oral participation and ACE points will prepare all of us for the complex, inner workings of the modern society? Think again.

Kaka goes to real madrid, so did Ronaldo. I am shell-shocked.

The arrival of the June holidays couldn't come any time sooner.

Despite the revolting fact of having to know that you are gonna be stuck in school almost every single day to revise for your block tests, it's definitely much pleasing than having to go through the draining monotony of school life.

The last week of school was hell. Tutorials after lectures and lectures after tutorials, plus having to cope with the sudden emptiness of reverting back to a normal student status (no longer a councillor), it was sapping up every last ounce of energy I had left.

Guess the break came at a right time.

It's really quite sad to be spending most of your holidays studying, but since almost everyone in Hwa Chong is doing so, it ain't that hard to take it down right, it's like everyone is gearing up for war, so cool and exciting.

I really do hope I can muster all my potential, motivation, energy and power for this coming blocks and achieve a sterling performance so that I will be feeling encouraged for my later upcoming tests.

It's 100% focus now and it's either make or break for there's only one June holidays. So surely and hopefully, I'll make it happen. Hahaha, go Ivan!

The Great Singapore Sales are here, so I think it would be appropriate to add some spice to our lives by going for a shopping spree. Ok, this weekends shall be spent shopping with my friends haha.

I don't know why my life is so %^@#%%#@ screwed up boring now, perhaps it's part and parcel of being a J2? Never, 5months+ and i can have all the thrill I want, so in the mean time, just enjoy studying.

Ok, this post should feature bakkwa girl beehiang. haha. so i shall dedicate this sentence to her. :) 

So unless you have a cooler name than her, don't expect me to feature you so easily. Haha.

I've been deserting this holy thrash-talking site of mine for ages, and if only there were virtual reality cobwebs, I'm sure there would be plenty among here.

The long hiatus wasn't intentional, it's just a daily dosage of lacklustreness, procrastination, laziness or it's just maybe because my life hadn't been all too exciting.

Haha, no way.

A tumultous range of events have gone by since I last graced my site, but my point of coming back isn't to reminisce about the goold ol times I had studying for block tests, or the random conversations I had with so many new people or the strange encounters I had with some random people.

Instead, I am largely disturbed. Disturbed by a persistent issue I'm unable to grapple with ever since the day I was born, or paradoxically, am sometimes guilty of.

Once again, I'm lazy to elaborate much, but just know I'm hugely disturbed by these people. Shallow, opinion-casting and people with empty superficial conversations whole day long.

On happier stuffs, I'm rather ambivalent towards the arrival of 21st May, which is the day I would officially step down as a 35th students' council.

If time permits us to go back into the past, there would be many things which I would have done, such as study harder during the MAF period. But more importantly, I really do treasure the countless moments we had during worksessions.

I have 2 striking candidates for cheers ic, and this opinion is greatly shared by most others as well, which is good, because the 2 people are really capable. Haha, self praise. Ok never mind.

So till 21st May, I shall relish every last opportunities to sleep in the council room, to wear the round shiny badge, and to walk around the school being known as the cheerful cheers ic.

Kudos.

Blocks test has been alright I guess.

Econs was ok, except that i screwed up one essay question, but other than that, i think the other questions were quite fool-proof.

Math was really disappointing, I couldn't do a 11 mark question because I didn't know how to type parametric equations into the GC. Like wtf, that's year 1 graphing techniques! 

It's really sad to the max because the marks are really quite easy to attain, but oh well, I don't really brood over these stuffs after a test.

Biology today was alright considered how much I crammed a day before. There wasn't enough time to finish structured and although I anticipated 5b to come out, I didn't prepare for it, so it's quite screwable. But 5a shld be fine.

I'm really sad I didn't managed to take chem today because I was feeling really sick and nauseatic and I almost puked during bio. Like i swallowed a bit of the matrix back and had this burning sensation on my throat. 

Tried to sleep for a while to see if the situation will improve but it just got worse, so I decided to just go see her doctor and head back home. 

Really saddening because I mugged quite hard for chem, but it's just too bad, my prelims will be a whopping 90% weighing for chemistry.

Ok the end of blocks shall signal the arrival of the nationals season, which means cheering season, which means busy times ahead for obvious reasons.

But I'm looking forward to it, because it's one of my last contributions before I step down and engage in a academical quagmire.

Show HWACHONG your support people!

Sometimes I wonder if life is ever so punishing and unforgiving. Are we always given a second chance?

Crime offenders acted what they did in a moment of folly, and their lives would to a certain extent be forever tainted with a black record, likewise, A levels students get only one shot at the final examinations, its either you make or break, no retrys, no second chances.

Does life has to be so segmentary in nature? To start sieving the bad from the good, good from the excellent, the excellent from the elites since almost the day we took our first official test in elementary school.

Each stage of our lives is a grueling cruel process of judging your capabilities and inabilities, I'm afraid i'm losing out.

But I shan't give up just yet, because I have the faith from my CTs and parents, I know I can do it, but yet I know I'm not quite there yet. Which is good, because i know I would have to work much harder.

Give me strength to tide through all these.

After much toiling, I decided to go for talentime in the end and I'm rather relieved to say the talents are really talented afterall, maybe except for the lead singer of wei ziran's band, who is none other than wei ziran himself of course.

The performance was really great, not to mention keely wee was there also, couldn't forget how much i was supporting her back in sec 3, haha, guess she really changed much in terms of her outlook, more sophisticated compared to her uniform days back then.

The performances were really great, especially iype's whatever it takes dedicated to liping iype thomas.

The emcees were retards, especially the guy, who kept hogging the mike and lines and just rambled nonsense on and on. Seriously pain in the ass and he kinda spoilt the whole cool mood in the audi. Idiot.

My good mood took for a ultimate bad turn when news came in that man utd had lost 4-1 to liverpool at home. Wtf, it is the bloody theatre of dreams, old trafford, how can some team just head there and own us so badly?!?!?!

Vidic totally crumbled, the potential player of the season totally crumbled from a solid rock into minute pieces of sand and gravel. 

Ferguson played park, tevez, instead of giggs, berbatov, clearly showing he wanted the industry aspect instead of flair and  nice football, but oh well, it totally backfired.

My depression will probably last for a week, so I wonuldn't have any mood to mug for my remaining papers, which is of course really good reason to make up for my lacklustre attitude. 

Grrgh, I shall get myself pumped with adrenaline and mug till I drop for the whole of next week! Yes! I can do it.

School life is turning me insane, but everyone else is turning insane too, so it ain't that bad.

Seeing the J1s getting all excited over running for council gets me excited too and it sort of reminded me the events which have occured a year ago.

How we stayed in school till late to hang balloons and posters, how we cracke our brains to think of new gimmicks, how we were wanted to outwit the opponents throughout the long drawn campaigning process, how much effort we put in for our amazing video.

I'm really glad so many J1s are running this year, sort of puts me in a relaxed and superior position looking at them being so worried and anxious of the upcoming campaigning period. Sadistic or egoistic, whatever.

As council term draws closer to an end, I know this epic journey of mine shall begin reaching its final destination. But life and success is always a journey, never an aim or target.

Till that time comes, I shall savour every moment till it lasts before the 36th students' council, or more specifucally, 36th cheer ics take over what we've done and achieved.

Ok, please let me concentrate from now onwards...

Time allows people to perceive motion. Time allows motion to dictate people. But most importantly, time exudes the very presence of a constant.

People perceive time differently, one might feel that the manifestation of time is within a timely context and its justification regardless of whether if it is near or far.

Most on the other end of the spectrum might perceive time simply as a hand on a clock that moves along second by second, minute by minute, validating each change in position as a sequence of time.

The concept of time has been hugely philosophical and could only be appreciated by the KI people, but nonetheless, the question arises if one introduces the concept of an afterlife and the probability of time existing in the two polared spheres of existence.

Can communication even take place between these two dimensions? We will never know, because we are not lame enough to go find out plus we have block tests, so yeah.

On a different note, I absolutely abhor imbecilic deliquents who are so judgemental and sardonic of others without even knowing the person at hand right at the very first place.

It is extremely sickening and displeasing to realise how supposedly mature of teenagers or young adults we are, are actually guilty of this.

Please, for christ sake, if you have the moral inapt to cast perceptions on people without even knowing who they really are, or are easily swayed around by comments made by others like a dog, then just jolly well keep your mouth shut and keep your pathetic thoughts to yourself.

Don't ever try to make up for your incompetence and inabilities on others by making such superficial, childish and not to mention untrue comments on people whom you even have no idea who they are because it just makes you look like a loser instead.

So just continue being an irritating prick, one that hides in some deluded corner, trapped in your own silhouette and judge everyone who passes by your life like you are really credited to do so, because in actual fact, you are not.

So just shush, and stop being so lame and childish, it absolutely turns people off. 

I have no idea why I'm so angered, but whatever, because I'm really thankful that I have a group of friends right by my side most of the time.

I don't know how many times have I said this, but these are the people who will never ever doubt what you do, always there to support you and to simply be by your side when you just need someone to talk to or have your meals with. 

Ok, anyways, I'm gonna listen to what jingx told me to do today at the class bench while I was studying. Haha.

For those who gave me the presents, toys, flowers etc etc, thank you so much, I am really flattered by all the wonderful gifts and I've stored everything nicely in my room. Yeah, I really appreciate all the gifts because they have really made my day and once again, thanks so much.

Too bad I don't have a photo as requested, because I think that's quite lame (no offences), but nonetheless, thanks so much! :)

Ok, back to mugging.

Friday signalled the epitome of my JC life.

The POP was successfully conducted under perfect evening and windy conditions and just like how I pre-empted it to be, it was nothing less of a blast.

I vividly recalled a year ago, how I was one of those eager and enthusiastic bullboys of the yellow fraternity, how excited I felt seconds before the commencement of the dance competition at the central plaza and how amazing I felt at the end of the 3 minutes dance.

The immense pulse of raw energy ripping through each and everyone in the central plaza that night was amazing, and the vibes still stay as powerful within me. It didn't mattered if Apollo had lost, for we knew at the end of the day, all of us had fun.

Zooming into a year later, all but familiar sights began flashing right before my eyes. J1s frantically trying to finetune their dancesteps all around the school compound, guys colouring their hair with paint, everyone armed with their caps, hoodies, gloves banner cloth whatsoever.


It brought a huge comforting smile to my face, for I knew for sure that each and everyone of them were going to experience something unforgettable for a certain long period of their lives.

As Apollo lined up on the central plaza in fervour, I patrolled down the s7f row, and I told everyone to enjoy the 3 minutes they have on the central plaza, to feel the joy of dancing as a faculty and to shout their hearts out, for there's only one chance for them to do so.

Right after the dance, a sea of caps flew up into the sky, and every apollo dude were screaming with pride and joy, it made me felt warm and fuzzy inside for this is what everyone has been working so hard for.

The announcement of results was breathtaking, with Apollo being the eventual champions. A sea of yellow burst into an infinite euphoria as we finally claimed the title which has evaded us for so long.

I felt happy for them, because this would be something they would be telling their juniors next year, just as much as how I would like to go around telling them how Apollo won the fac shield last year.

Camwhored quite abit with the lovely s7f people, they are really a cute bunch of juniors, too bad they aren't in my direct junior class, but oh well, I still love them alot.

I felt really fortunate yesterday to be able to participate in such a wide array of activities so many other people wouldn't even have the chance to do so in their lifetimes.

To lead the cheers, to dancing on the stages, to dance the faculty dance twice, to meet so many wonderful juniors, to so many many other things I am blessed with.

I'm really glad for all that have happened or not happened, for I will definitely treasure all of it to the best I can.

In the meanwhile, it is time to mug for blocks... A cruel way to end my daydream.

The normalcy of the stressful JC 2 life have begun to prevail, as my 2 week long escapade from school start fading off as mere wonderful memories.

Everyone seems to be so well motivated to do well, to complete their tutorials in time, to listen intentively during lectures, to bootlick the tutors, while right on the other spectrum, I feel the greatest inertia in trying to complete even the simplest of tutorials.

1 year of academic sluggishness has caused me to be in such a slump, and if this continues, I will just flunk my A's at the end of the day, which is something I totally not find amusing at all.

Hopefully, some form of divine intervention will pop out somewhere, and shall turn me into a study machine, then I will start owning the cohort. Hahaha.

Angel/mortal has been quite fun, because i totally know who my angel and mortal are and I'm quite sure they know who I am too, so we're just writing letters in fake anonymity. But oh well, at least writing letters is relaxing, weird but true for me.

Council elections is coming up real soon, and talking to people around, I'm sure there would be many J1s this year trying a shot at getting a spot into council. There are so many things I wish to tell these juniors, about how they shouldn't do some things, what they should look out for etc, but it is just too complex to tell it off hand.

Maybe it is just best to let them learn it for themselves? Probably the best way to learn as well, from your own mistakes.

But I'm sure the ECACO video has inspired many to run for it, haha.

My junior class looks rather bonded even though they contain a potpourri of subject combinations, which sort of reminds me of my earlier J1 days, where everyone had so much time at hand to mix around and enjoy each other's company.

Hopefully STJ and more importantly, JTS will be fun and worth remembering.

Oh, and thanks a million to those who wished me on my birthday, especially to lovely s7f people for popping by at LT3 to give me my birthday cake, it really made my week. 

Ok, I hate this type of posts, but I'm really losing out of touch with my keypads, so that's all people. BYE.
