Promos... here i come.

I just looked at cuiyin's blog and realised i should not be here at all, at this time of the day, in the middle of the week which happens to be the 2nd last week just before the damned promotional exams hit me real hard.

Its... let me see... 11.14 am now on a normal wednesday. Just because my General Paper tutor was absent we were asked to do some self revision anywhere in this campus. keywords: self revision But here i am enjoying the comfort of our college library, and doing something so un-revisionly such as blogging. sigh...

Potential.What a strong word, yet not real at all. It's just a possibility, not reality. It's just really like everyone has this potential to do really great things like aceing all his subjects at A levels or sth... but what matters is actually how much work u put in to nurture this potential. Take a good look around me now, and i find almost everyone with their lecture notes and filed tutorials , burying their heads into Dihydroxyacetones or 5-Bromo-1Chloro-3-Methyl-1,5-Heptadienes, or Demand and Supply Analysis, or Binomial Expansion Theorems. Me? bounded to the computer & and its not like i can recite the entire trigonometrical basic formula sheet to anyone now...

Promos. just merely a week away.

Everyone's been saying how good my results are and how i'll be able to promote with S papers and all that shit. but i just know it myself. promoting could be a terrible problem even. economics concepts didnt make sense anymore, at least didnt make as much sense as before. Bio questions look like they were written in greek. Maths? turns me off from head to toe. Chemistry [huh?!] ... yeah so there goes. Oh man someone help me......

I knew it. someone's gonna say i shoulda started studying earlier. but it's always like that. seriously, going home at 7 or 8 o clock close to everyday doesn't give you an incentive to start studying. for a start, tutorials pile up irregardless of your mood, and the pile up inpropotionately to your amount of time left to do them. in other words, they simply don't care. excuses excuses yeah yeah i know.... right fine. its just me. and me alone. no college to blame, no tutors to blame.

Procrastination. it must be you. okay i shall bury my head into Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns right after school today and devote my 2 weeks of life fully to studying for promos. who gives a damn about tutorials and all that crap. i'm going for the following grades:

1)Biology: A
2)Economics: B
3)Chemistry: C
4)Mathematics: D
5)General Paper: B4

Not a very difficult target since here's where im standing right now:
Biology B, Economics D, Chemistry E, Mathematics AO, General Paper C5.

Yup. this shall be it. off i go out of this project room.
till the next time, i wonder when?

yeah. lucks to all having promos too. and to my ex-cchs seniors, good luck for A levels.

The world's so small...

Well today after that SCAS opening ceremony thing where i saw PM Lee! Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Acting Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports and Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry! and Rear Admiral Teo Chee Hean, Minister for Defence, i stayed to mug a lil while with baolun, dawn, siok, wenqi and cherri.

Then went to parkway and met up with xiufeng. I so miss her... didnt see her for quite some time and yeah. quite alot to catch up. Got to know many things bout her life this yr, and all her troubles. Yeah... hope we can meet up again anytime soon.

Touched. Happy.

You dun need big big things, nor alot of money, nor a big big present, nor the biggest house and wealth in the world to make you feel happy... It's the little things from day to day that could bring us happiness...

To be frank, i just came back from lunch after school. Was at the Tampines MRT Station when i spotted 2 Sec 2 juniors walking towards me. Their faces were so unfamiliar, and i definitely have not seen them around before. Sec 2s afterall. And they walked past me, but before that, they stopped to say "Hello Senior!!" and i was so dumbstruck. Surprised. and the next feeling was [Happiness] then [touched]... And so i smiled and asked "Sec wad ?" "2...", they said. And i was certain they weren't from the band cos i shlda known all the sec 2 members from the band by now... And i remained excited, happy, touched, elated! throughout the entire journey home. And now i can't wait to blog it... and so here i am before showering, still smelling like salted fish in this uniform.

Sweet eh? It's these things that can send a smile to your face. It's these things that touch your heart like nothing else do. It's these things that make me feel that i am somebody.

CHUNG CHENG HIGH SCHOOL (MAIN) ROX ROX ROX ROX ROX ROX ROX ROX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the school and will always love it for the rest of my life...

For many days of this year, ive not had this special feeling. I finally had it today. *HappY*

In conjunction, i would like to congratulate two pple:

--Tiffany for finishing her Grade 6 piano exam (Tiff you can get a Distinction surely.)
--Yixiang for topping Geography grades in the entire geog fac in our college.

Yeah. gtg mug for tml's Ionic Equilibrium Test...

Cya!

Friend or foe.

Forgiving an enemy is easier than forgiving a friend...

How true that is... i just saw this on one of my good friend's MSN nick and thought i'd blog on it since its rare these days that i get strong feelings bout sth. Seriously, it sux knowing that your friend has done something to betray you totally, or even fall out with you for something that you thought was extremely trivial, or something that you juz did cos you thought he was able to take it.

I dunnoe, but there'll be two sides of an argument here bout this issue. When you're betrayed by ur friend, you'll feel really really upset and the only thought that flashes in your mind is that your friendship with him ends here. He tries to explain things to you, that he didnt want to do it, he was forced by circumstances, he was this, he was that, and kept saying that he was sorry and extremely remorseful. He tried time and again to show you that he cares as a friend, but your hatred and anger still won't budge even at the moment when he's placing a blade at his wrist. He has his tears dried, was at his wit's end with regards to saving the friendship, had his heart dieing of remorse, but still he has lost you as a friend.

On the other hand, it's really very difficult to forgive your friend for doing something gravely wrong to have incurred your wrath, to have disappointed you totally, to have overpowered all those feelings of friendship. But we wonder why, that since we are friends, we should forgive and forget much easier since friends do not bear grudges. The thing is, subconsciously, at least i believe so, that a friend, is the last person you would ever think of who would do something like that to hurt you to such depths. You expected a lot from him, you thought he understood you only too well to do somethin like that. You're in total disappointment and heartache, and everything else matters no more cos your best friend just did sth to hurt you. Deep down inside you wanna forgive him but face it, its juz deep down inside... Nothing from that inside all the way to your phenotypical traits want you to be friends with him again cos you know, that there will be an irremovable barrier, from then on, and from there on.

Well it's just like that... friends, part and parcel of your lives, but how each and everyone of us perform the role of friends is a very important part of maintaining friendships.

Here's another quote i saw from another friend's MSN nick...

Forgiveness, is me giving my right to hurt you for hurting me...

How true this is again huh... Well...
Check bag.

*Tag!

Pain. Pain. Pain.

Ok. Tuesday of this week gone just like that. Was considerably productive cos i did study 2 chapters out of 13 for chemistry... 3 cheers!

Well yeah juz read tiffany's blog n saw that poem she wrote. I feel lousy again. It seems to me that everyone's good at at least something... but i'm not! Leo's good at singing... Tiffany's good at singing & language... Lianwei's good at Tuba... Yixiang's good at piano & maths... Huifen's good at maths... What am i good at?! I'll try writing a poem and get laughed at the very next day, try writing a song and the song probably gets rejected even by myself...


Emptiness, the feeling,
my heart will hold.
Like a pail without water,
a house without a soul.


This is a poem writing of my pain,
a person living this life of shame.

I'm your son hiding my depression,
your brother making a good impression.

I'm your friend looking like i'm fine,
but a wisher wishing life now weren't mine.

I am a boy who wants to fly,
a teenager pushing tears aside.

I'm a student who doesn't have a clue,
your good friend who will sit next to you.

I'm the one asking you to care,
your best friend hoping you'll be there....


S|gh. Who's gonna be there for me?...

Sigh!

|[.D|hYdRoXyAcEtOnE.]|
Today was a terrible day for a start... sigh. I was scolded during band prac when i didnt even talk!

Am i even fit to be a leader? I feel so useless now... so... empty inside. its like a bucket without water... you try to feel somethin but that somethin's juz not there. I feel so helpless inside out. I feel helpless everyday. I can do nothing when the band spirit is actually going downhill. I can propose nothing to help in the improvement of the band. It juz sux. Im not good in music, not good in studies, fat, ugly and what have you. argh. shitified. Desperate. Sad. Depressed.

Wendy mei has been feeling really low lately. Cos of CCHS Band stuff... I tried to talk her out based alot on my experience in the band but apparently, as she described, its the mentality of the band members now that are changing. I feel so useless again. Like what can i do to help? Time and again i tell the juniors to tap on alumni resources when they see problems, but here they are and im at a lost as to how to give what advice. i feel so crapped up.. ARGH. Sigh. I need to talk... i need someone badly to talk to...

She's attached.

She's busy with friends.

He's juz got scolded by his daddy.


Like who else can i talk to?


**Period of Low Self Esteem*


Life is so screwed up. I failed my chem test like AGAIN. and there's a maths test on applications of differentiation and integration this saturday. And im not in the least prepared for it. And ive got a GP comprehension to do. And 2 econs essays to do. and Promos is in a month. and a whole load of econs revision package exercises to complete. and college open house and band tune in. and sectionals and end year band concert Juxtapose! and SYF next year. ARRRHHH.

I juz need. a break.

Who's going to give me one?
