haha ok since i have so much time i shall do my last blog post for the year.
hmm.. after alevels i went to australia for 11days. it was quite a fun trip. went to gold coast, blue mountains and sydney. at gold coast we went to dreamworld and movieworld. the rides there are really good! got some which are super fast and crazy haha. we went to visit alot of places. as usual, my dad wanted to see those nature places with good views of mountains and forests, etc. the weather was very sunny but also windy so we didn't sweat at all. at sydney we went to visit the harbour and walk around the city streets.
we came back on the 14th which is exactly one week ago. on wednesday i went to bugis to do some christmas shopping with the twins haha! bought christmas gifts for my family plus a pair of jeans and white cotton on slippers for myself lol.
on thursday i went to watch avatar. it's a super good show! but it's really long. 2hrs 40min. but it's quite interesting so you'll pay attention throughout the whole 2hrs-plus haha.
on saturday we had DG bbq at ariel's house. it was quite fun cos we talked and laughed alot. david followed jon along and sam wee's family also came so it added more fun from outside our DG.
i think i've been addicted to burgers after my australia trip. since we came back one week ago, i've eaten a big mac, 4 double cheeseburgers, one moss burger and one whopper. that averages one burger per day haha! yesterday we had our class bbq too. and actually i don't really eat bbq food and somemore the day before already had bbq, that's why i bought 2 double cheeseburgers from mac's for my dinner lol. hanging out with my class is always fun as usual. we played a bit of bball and then just sat down to chat and joke. we left kenneth's house at 113o and i reached home at 12plus.
ok that's all for now. coming up for the rest of the year we have the plh christmas party on 23rd plus sleepover after the party, christmas on 25th, thanksgiving dinner on 26th, plh graduation on 27th, and watchnight service on 31st. yup, should have enough activities to keep me occupied for the rest of the year haha.
byebye!

time to play the game!
ok time for my post for the month haha!
yeah my birthday is finally over! it was pretty ok. got some nice presents. 18 years old hahaha. cool.. for the actual day on monday i stayed home to study maths! haha. but at night my parents cooked a nice dinner and we had some cake. on tuesday i went out with the class guys for dinner just to chill. and on wednesday i celebrated it again! haha!!
i got birthday money from grandma and my parents, boxers and some biscuits and chocolate from e-sean, plus other stuff like a shirt, donuts, and a liverpool poster!!(: next time if you come my house you can see it on my room wall immediately cos it's quite big haha!
it's just 3 more days to start of 'A' levels. to be honest i'm a bit concerned about it but not stressed or anything. i think that's a good and bad thing about me. calm is good. but too calm may not actually be good. haha. i must say even though i've put in the most effort for maths, it's still my worst subject. actually my stats quite pro already but my pure maths is like crap. bad thing is pure maths is 70% of the paper. if can get C for maths i quite happy already haha! let's say i can get 40/100 for paper 1, then 20/40 for the pure maths in paper 2, plus 50/60 for the stats, then it will add up to 55% which is a C! haha. just a rough gauge lah.
my other subjects like geog and econs i thINK should be ok. physics i'm still not too sure but it's the last few papers so i have some time to study more for that. and for GP, it's just down to the essay qns and compre that comes out. better pray that God gives me stuff that i'm comfortable with. haha.
hopefully all those can get B. if i manage to pull it off it'll be a super big jump from prelims. in case people don't know..
prelims:
h1 geog U (36)
gp S (44)
maths U (36)
econs U (34)
physics E (45)
yup. you can go o.O??? now. haha. as of this moment i shall make my prediction/aim for A's. my prediction is usually my aim la. so it's like the same thing haha. for O's my predictions and aims were my actual results in the end, so if history is anything to go by, this will also be likely what i will get for Alevels:
h1 geog B
gp B
maths C
econs B
physics B
like i've said before, i'm not even daring to say that i will get one A. i've never got above C in a major exam in CJC before, so B's will still take some doing. combined with C for project work and quite confirmed pass for CL'B', my UES will be exactly 75/90. that actually looks pretty high lol. actually when you know that a B is just 60% it looks quite easy to get. but when take the paper and get the results dunno why 40% (which is S) also like very hard lol. hopefully i'll be able to get andrenalin rush during the papers again cos it's a big exam. i think usually people just jump 2-3 grades from prelims to 'A's. if that happens i'll be getting mostly D's. o.O. jia lat. lol.
anyways, it's 24 days left til 'A's are over!!! whoohoo!!! so fast man. let's not forget the small matter that it starts in 3 days too haha.
ok time to get back to studying. my next post will most likely be in december around christmas. so if you want to check, just come back around christmas time haha!

3 weeks minus 1 day
whoa it's just 20 days to the start of A-levels. i still feel quite unprepared. there's really alot to cover. looking on the bright side, my knowledge has improved in the last few weeks. haha. that just says how bad a situation i was in last time. to be honest, i don't see a subject where i am gonna get an A in. i calculated that if i were to get B's in everything, my UES will still be like about 75/90. which in itself is not too bad i guess lol. i'm not aiming for anything like medicine or law. so, yes, i would be quite ok with all B's. any A i get will be a bonus. (and it is always nice to do better than what you expect. haha) all B's and i'll just say i'm a jack of all trades and a master of none lol.
to get an idea of how badly prepared i am, let's just say i improved for prelims and still failed haha. although i was the most improved student in the school for physics (16 to 45). i improved quite a bit for maths and geog too (which were around the 20% range) and just missed out on passing. econs was wasted. and gp was a flop. worst paper i've done while in cj.
yup, so this last 3 weeks will be crucial. 2 years ago, i started 3 weeks before O-levels. i'm not stupid enough to think that i'll be able to pull it off again. so please just pray for me. haha.
ok i shall cover some geog today. i must say that i think i have really levelled up for geog recently. it's the h1 subject and it is the only subject that the teachers are pumping us with remedials for. oh, econs also lah. ermhem.. physics and maths? haha.
alright. off i go. byebye.

one month and a day
haha i think nobody reads this blog anymore but i'll do one post while it's still september. i feel like i'm talking to myself! haha. i used to average one post per week. then it became once every fortnight. now i'm struggling to post once a month.
prelims have been ok so far i think.. i'm quite sure i'll do better for geog (then again, the highest mark i've scored for geog in CJ is 30%). physics i'm not sure but i think with the studying i should have improved. the econs tuition has really helped and if i get an A for A-levels i think i'll do something nice for yiying for bringing me to the tuition haha. my pure maths is horrendous to say the least but at least stats is pretty ok. after prelims i have to work on pure maths..
someone told me "love is a strange word."
hmm. could love be a simple thing that we humans make complicated? i've realised that love can be expressed in many different ways.
you don't have to say anything to show someone you love them. as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words.
then again, sometimes love can be expressed by doing nothing. i never knew that. haha.
just some random thoughts i suddenly had.
hmm.. what did the Bible say about love? something about love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, does not boast. keeps no record of wrongs. always trusts? always perserveres. oh and my favourite, love never fails. haha. i never knew that was from the Bible until one day. i guess the ultimate thing is God is love.
hmm.. less talking, more walking.
ok i'm going on and on here. why did i suddenly start talking about that? weird.. man, i hope this week passes by soon. before i know it, prelims will be over!! then it's time to study for A-levels. haha. so no difference. in fact, have to work harder.
6 more days to escape!!!!!!(: whoohoooooo!!!!!!!

1 week to prelims
whoa... long time since i last posted here. like one month i think. haha. kinda forgot that i have a blog. writing everything in a diary is much better for remembering stuff that i wanna rmb. let's see..
prelims are next week! man, i think if they were the real A-levels i will fail my maths, physics and geog. straightaway don't need to go uni. can start work right after army, or go poly. if i had to choose, i will just start working. haha. that's the situation now unless i buck up.
so this week i have started to study. ya, just started. at least not as bad as o-levels, when i only started 3 weeks before the exam. now i've given myself 2months plus before A's. whether that's enough remains to be seen. and as of now my future still hangs in the balance, delicately dangling over a cliff top, just about going to fall into the depths of the sea. to quote mr holden, "you're walking on the edge, i-zack. walking on the edge and just about to fall off." and mr rajoo, "you're throwing your life away." yes, strong words. like, wow.
of course, i won't let the pressure get to me. and that's just the thing, because sometimes, i think i should.
prelims end 18 sept! whoohoo!!!!!

the kop comes to asia 09
wow.. it's been a really cool last 3 days. still trying to take it all in.. haha.
went to cycle and play football after school on friday. really fun!!(: i think $5 for 2 hours on a bike is like quite cheap right? not bad la. haven't cycled at all since last year december.
then saturday was the liverpool singapore river boat ride! went with e-sean to see them at clarke quay. super cool. kept taking photos and videos. i got a few waves too! like from rafa and sammy lee. i shouted the most at alonso. trying to get him to stay haha. then the whole crowd was like running all around the river following the boat! o.O all mad. e-sean and i included. haha! followed it around for one hour. and it was so noisy cos everyone kept shouting. then the last part was quite cool cos we did lots of chants and songs. torres was obviously the fans' main focus cos gerrard wasn't able to make it to singapore. i think kuyt and reina were the most friendly ones cos they kept waving and smiling to the fans. sammy lee too. and i think rafa really loves the fans. great manager. i think some of the players may have been a bit sian cos they probably get this everywhere they go. haha. but only liverpool then the fans will get so hyped up la.
then yesterday went to watch them play against the singapore team at national stadium. uncle gary got us tickets for the north end. so we didn't have very good seats. but it wasn't too bad lah. the atmosphere was quite nice. but i wish we had sat at the east or west ends. cos the places where we sat had lotsa stupid quiet fans. so lousy.. oh ya before the game started there was like one guy wearing a man utd shirt then everyone started booing him and chanted "MAN U SUCKS! MAN U SUCKS!" LOL! super funny. and the whole stadium was red!! but cos of liverpool, not singapore LOL. today's papers said that some of the singapore players were disappointed that we didn't cheer for them more. haha! who cares about them now that liverpool are in town!! wait for tiger cup or something then cheer for them la LOL. the crowd cheered the most for torres and alonso. i was really pleased that kuyt got the captain's armband when carragher got taken off(: yeah good on ya dirk!! one of my favourite players. i chanted for alonso the most. another one of my favourite players(: hope he stays.. if he or mascherano leave then next year's title challenge will be quite hampered. without the two of them gerrard won't be as effective. we'll really need alonso's control of the game plus masch's breaking down of opponent's attacks.. so it was nice that the crowd did super lot of xabi alonso! chants. i was quite impressed that they at least had the common sense to cheer for him the most. though i can't say the same for mascherano. but maybe his name is just too long to chant haha! nemeth got the 3rd and 5th goals. not a bad finsher by the looks of it. if he's as good as they think he's gonna be, then in a few years to come when gerrard retires we could have a torres-nemeth strikeforce which is gonna be really exciting. when torres scored the 4th goal the whole stadium went crazy! haha. even more crazy when they subbed him and alonso on. and that is REALLY crazy. lol. kuyt created the last 3 goals. looks like he's in good form coming to the start of the season(: whoa but looking at the 5-0 scoreline, either singapore is really lousy or liverpool is really strong.. i think cos liverpool is really strong la. haha!
well, it was a good experience(: everything was pretty sweet. the only little blip is that gerrard wasn't here. and the next time they come to singapore i'll get the best tickets and arrive at the stadium 3hrs before kickoff haha! oh and maybe bring a scarf to hold up while singing you'll never walk alone.
oh ya i didn't go school today so i'm staying at home. gonna watch the replay of last night's match plus try to get some work done. haha.
okie dokes. byebye.

hook, line, and sinker
many fish out in the sea
but there's only one for me
i'm sure it's super tasty
i'll just have to wait and see
you know i've never fished before
so my bait is kinda raw
but i'll just try more and more
keep fishing even when my butt gets sore
though the rains pour and the winds blow
and i might go down from an undertow
something tells me to row and row
i want that fish, that's all i know
but there's only one for me
i'm sure it's super tasty
i'll just have to wait and see
