I figure that one particular post is discouraging peepz from tagging.

so BDMP !!

3 big little things to do to save your own skin.

2009-01-25T01:32:00.000-08:00

1. Save your ears by using noise isolating earphones, rather than blasting your normal earphones to cover up all the sounds created by fellow habitants of the Earth and whatnot. Just call them noise. You should be wary if you are using more than 3/4 of the maximum volume of your device. Caution: watch out for cars when crossing roads ! You probably won't hear them coming.
-http://jaben.net/ is a great and relatively cheap place to get your quality audio equipment. -You can get lower performance earphones below $20 elsewhere.

2. Cut down on calories by having healthier snacks, be it in the movies or at home. Instead of popcorn, nachos, potato chips, milk chocolate bars, you could opt for a juicy apple, grapes (I heard frozen grapes are nice), or dark chocolate sticks for that chocolate crave instead of the sugar boosted ones. I had actually bought grapes into the movies before. Shhh. Keeps your skin good as well.

3. Actually exercise by doing regular exercise. Really stick to your plans ! Like running every even weekday (odd if you are more hardworking) for at least 20 mins. You could do swimming too. I know its easy to break the routine. Yes I know. Thank god for army regime.(?)

Wow. Im amazed by the usefulness of a blog post of mine. Never has a post been so informative since Lame Articles 1 and 2. Im back from Thailand ! The 10 day infantry phase full of back to back missions was tiring. The place burns in the day and freezes at night. Its so cold its painful. And my feet, I mean, OUR feet, stank to the heavens. It was fun. Somehow. The outfielad experience is much better than in Brunei, with no rain, no bugs crawling at every single place. And the nightsky is beautiful. So is the lady-man at the canteen. Well, not quite. But at least "hshe" is much better than Jenny. Jenny is the 'large-man-with-girl's-hair-and-clothes', I mean, that's fine, but hshe acts like a little girl and tries to flirt with ppl. Sccarry.

random updates on his life.

2009-01-03T19:24:00.000-08:00

Now a REALLY bored person looking for things to do. Some things to be done in the first half of 2009! - learn some breakdance, get a pair of inline skates, and build a good relationship with the-guitar-that-is-older-than-I-am.

Having to pay for the comms ball also made me a broke man.
Of course, I spent too much on clothes during christmas.
WHO WANTS TO GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING!?
Is really looking forward to March. No, not the soldiery "march", the Janurary-Feburary-March "March".

Gonna fly off to Thailand later today. another 3 weeks. Be back in CNY! (:

New Life

2007-07-19T06:05:00.000-07:00

Hello dear readers! Its been awhile since I updated about my life up here. So here goes~

Guess what? I've got less than one and a half months till prelims. And I hadn't covered much of the syllabus. I just got back my mid-year papers and it looked pretty screwed sCreWed SCREWED!! By whom i don't know. Maybe the teachers, since they 'go through papers' so often. ;)

OMG! LOOK AT THAT-PEN IS THROUGH THE PAPER!

So I realised that its time to submit a proposal for a New Lifestyle! Im gonna throw away.. My addiction to games, an being lazy in all. 2 things that I want right now-more need than want, actually-a much fitter body, and good results. I see that teachers and my family have put in alot of effort into urging and helping me to do better in school. I don't want to let them down. All the more, I do not want to let MYSELF down. I promised myself that I will make it. So I shall. Well, as for the body, I needa prepare for NS, don't I? ;P

So I shall go for swimming as well! I've found a couple of swimming partners-Jun Sheng and Yuan Wei, probably Joseph as well, to go twice per week. And since i failed 2.4km run after June holidays, (sad, real sad.) Im gonna hafta train running every other day as well. Got some Ah Pek in the park got really good stamina sia! Saw them doing pull-ups too!! Healthy lifestyle for them eh? Putting mostly training and studying into my 'New Lifestyle' seems to make it sound like 'NoLife-Style' to me. Oh well, One's gotta work for what he/she wants. We have no more time! so YEAH LETS DO THIS!

Hmm touching on motivation, I suddenly remember the thingy that MindChamps/Empower U has taught me. Gonna motivate myself every night! Its gotta do with strongly visualizing success and working backwards. The first time I went through it, it was so powerful that I was tear-ring away. I hope that I can get that energy back.

Always don't know what to say to her. I hate it.

"Life's like this." Grit your teeth, work hard, and have fun along the way. Im done!

*Below was supposed to be an incomplete previous post. I WASN'T REALLY SLACKING!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*tick, tock. tick, tock........* the mechanical sound of his silver chained watch kept going, going, going, and going. Just like the way his pain and suffering had never ended.

why..?

As Will looked around himself, holding on to his dear tattered black coat, in an attempt to shield himself from the chilling winds. He could still see the dark clouds in the night. All signs of astronomical bodies were missing, thanks to the black, black clouds. A tear crept down his cheek as he stood in the endless empty stretch of sand. For all he can see, there was no sign of life. Nothing was there except the howling wind and the whirling bits of sand.

They.. left me here. why!? who would do that to their own family? didn't they love me? why does nobody care? Nobody ever cares. what am i to them anyway? nobody.. nobody!!!

'WHY!??!? WHY DID U ALL DO THIS TO ME!!!', he screams at the ebony clouds at the top of his voice, before breaking down in spasms.

A sudden sharp noise pierced through the air. Ring-a-ling-a-ling!!

He was taken aback by this intrusive sound. So much so that Will lost his will to weep anymore. He then looked down at his timepiece, simultaneously dropping a cold tear on it.

It isn't my watch.

Will immediately knew that the source of this sound came from no other than his dark nemesis. he shouted, 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' as the world before him warped into a vortex and he was suddenly on his homely bed. Small but comfortable. 'Shit', he thought, as he reached out to silence the screaming alarm clock.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

^_^ yes. i did warn that this was incomplete. I stopped writing very soon. (Shang I understand how it feels now. T_T") Yup. The sudden turn in events to 'complete' the story was suggested by Lame Queen Jaslyn. She has a tiara. Shiny.

Last words (for this post) here:

Max- Please work hard! Prove (some of the) teachers that they are wrong about u! SGC doesn't matter much IF you've got some beautiful As. Come to school! Im sick of holding your papers.

ShaShar- Don't worry I WILL GO DOWN TO THAT COSFEST!! =D

Jassy- I dunno. LOL

Des- Well, if you happen to see this, go POST something on your blog!

Aaaaaaand, Best of Wishes to the readers! thanks for your time! WOO HOO IM DONE IM DONE. Now back to work.

Frank's AWARDS!

2007-08-14T07:25:00.000-07:00

Frank's Award ISSUE IS OUT!

SORRY EVERYONE FOR THE LONG WAIT! It took longer than any of us had expected, but here it is!

Welcome to the FIRST EVER Annual Frank's Award Presentation 2007!! We strive to bring to you these awards to deserving awardees each Year! The prizes are in no particular order. So don't be sad if you happen to be at the bottom, or not appear at all. LOL.

The Frank's Long Term Service Award (5years+) .

Well, its been around me since I was primary 5. Long huh? u should know it if u are a loyal reader of this blog. =X It was the subject of a post some time ago. Its actually the 8th year that Im using it, but they always give away long term service awards in like.. 5 years.. 10 years. so I thought I'll do so too. The stack of paper behind are my H2 Chemistry lecture notes! Also, u can see some small dents on the top of the pencil case. Some retarded bully in my p6 class did it. >=O im DISMAYED. his name is Xing Hua, born in 1989, been to Jing Shan Primary School. REMEMBER!

The Frank's Life Toucher Award .

This is Min (-ee)!! The award(-ee) for the life toucher award!

She is the one on the left, sorry Miss Innocent-but-just-has-to-be-there-cus-don-have-solo-picture.

Time to get a little emotional. Without her, frank would be... Kah Kim. For those who do not understand the phrase, it has a meaning close to 'introverted', in Dollish language. Ain't it sad as well? Shes like the first friend whom I really kept. The first gift I ever bought was for her LOL. Looking at when that was, it just shows how much of a social noob I am. She's a wonderful friend who has touched my life and greatly changed it, besides my family, she is someone whom I feel greatest gratitude towards.

She is one person who values friendship ALOT, and can forgive people. Something we should all learn. ;)

Anti-climax to bring this up now, MIN!!! HANG ON AND JIA YOU WITH YOUR BOOKS =DD you know that this will pay off. Someday. (:

The Frank's Lamist Award . Of course, there's no surprise, although I was pondering over Kewl and Lamist. There's even a link to her blog that says Lamist LOLS. This Lamist term was explained in my 'Lame articles' as someone who practices the art of laming. Some might know this as my shi fu though. I met my shi fu in GunBound! It happened like four years ago. So I honestly can't remember much at all LOL. Like how I can't justify her lamness with examples, this paragraph refuses to be justified as well.

She is my shi fu because there was a time when I was crazy about laming, and she beat me upside down. ._. Master of links here and there, puns, lots of them. And u must have heard of a famous quote, "Lame is Good" -Jaslyn. Offhand, I am unable to provide instances of her geijutsu(art), the shortlived moment of .. what, lameness? Some get their hair cut. Some get their hair cut and styled. Jaslyn cuts and styles her own hair LOL. Well, she gets it to look wonderful, most of the time. =S Anyone need a haircut?

The Frank's Style Award .

The award goes to Max!! This award partly goes to the fact that he possesses some style! Flair, whatever! He shows off some skills in outdoor activities like his favourite tennis, and with some biking around his neighbourhood (AND LF2 WOOOO). Armed with his Super Ego hair wax, Nautica watch, some weird brand and many other titles, his sense for clothes and accessories deviates from common brands and is tended towards the pricey and good quality!

Look hard at what he is holding. A camo bag, probably made for things like trekking. So, it comes with a whistle. a LOUD whistle, for signalling in the forest, u ppl who camp should know. ANYWAES, it comes as a complimentary irritation device for him, using the whistle in the most inappropriate places and times. Max, the campus misses you LOL. If you know what i hinting at, pull urself together! I have even set aside a section for your notes in my file. Great friend, both to hang out with and as a friend! Weird expression LOL. Can be 'irritating' but has a 'white' heart. AND, he won the award also because he loves saying 'Style' to things that make him happy. Be it that he means it, or its something worth the 'LOL' award.

(PS: don't ask me where that fist is going in the background. I don't know. Frankly.)

The Frank's LOL No.1 Award .

This cute, retro, petite man with an even cuter mustache plus oversized curly hair wig that looked more like afro from afar was spotted at SRJC thanksgiving Concert on 7/8/07!! He looked SUPER kewl, I swear, even when he has this serious face on while other teachers were smiling away while dancing. Our class's 'form teacher'. We laughed our asses off. THANK YOU MR. NAIR

The Frank's Caring Classmate Award .

Teoh Yuan Wei. Offers massages and exhibits the Caring Aura. Its always fun to have him around. =D He joke, has funny antics up his sleeves, cares alot for his fellow friends, and surprises me with some touching statements sometimes. DUDE U BETTER TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR HEAD! (he has headaches, I don't mean to show some killer intent here)

The Frank's Best Kitteh Award .

(These are previous comments when i only had a kitty's picture up here -->Alright. This award is NOT for the kitten in the picture. It is for Yu Shang aka shashar aka Sakura, as in the tagboard. This picture is just a stand in until she send me a picture.)

Well well well, here we have it! The final photo for the awards! >.<>

We've been through some dark times (medieval style) together, giving each other emotional support and companionship. She is basically my personal consoler, and we talk about a whole lot of stuff together. SHE IS GONNA COSPLAY YUNA >=D Neat. I couldn't really find a prize name for her, then the word 'kitty' suddenly popped into my mind and i decided to put that. Cos shes crazy about kittens and cute stuff, much into animes as well =]

And here's shashar's picture, finally! She WILL make a great yuna cosplay!

Thank you shang. <3 style="text-align: center;">The Frank's Most Detestable Worm Award .

Just so you know, this award exists. And it actually has an awardee. I'm not gonna post anything here, to be without the remotest chance of being on the wrong side of the law. You can always take a shot at guessing who's the lucky winner. It might not be who you think it is. ;)

The Frank's Best Frank's Award Host of the Year 2007 Award .

Oh. So who turned out to be at the bottom? THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS AWARD PRESENTATION TOGETHER!!!! What a great sense of satisfaction for finishing this piece. Fierce with the scissors, eh?

And while im at it, here's a random lame picture!

The Thinker.

He Thinks! He Thinks every single morning! On his standard Thinking table! He (used to[-although the grammar would be horrible if it was directly inserted into the phrase.]) Thinks in virtually every class! I wonder why he has so much to Think of.

HOHO presentation is over, ended with a BANG!

I like the auto-saving function of blogger. I won't lose posts, or edits, that I've been working on for longer periods to accidents. Like this one. oh yea. there's a funny blog out there that min introduced me to. --> www.kennysia.com Real cracker.

Also, I've been fighting this battle against sloth (not Dr. Sloth) for a few weeks now, and im on the losing side. So a new combat strategy is out! I shall stay in school to do work rather then come home and face the computer. the tv. the computer. the toilet. the computer. the books irrelevant to my studies. the computer. and the computer. YES! I CAN DO THIS!

Ho. Blogging less than a month away from the 'A's. This is probably the last post b4 the 'A's. GOtta study hard! Some pics to be posted!

Somewhere near my house. SUCH A CUTE SIGN. And no dog in sight.

Hello Jackie Chan. Drew this during some class. Pretty much like him, right? It was based on some... Movie of his, where he was having some (typical) battle with thug bosses on a luxury cruise.

Hey Max, good to see your honey bunny up here?

You might had noticed the website on my msn. Its this site where you.. earn points by reading email ads. Doesn't sound too interesting eh? Well, you can get paid, and inviting friends like what Im doing now helps too. =S It isn't a scam of any kind, as it doesn't require you to pay anything, just sign up to start receiving mail and earning points. Ah. Since you learnt it from me, click -->here to go to the site and sign up, while helping both of us out!

Okay. Nothing much to say. lets put this to hibernation and get back to work. Must not disappoint. And blogskin should be changed for its tiny font size. Take care.

Aftermath.

2008-02-02T03:22:00.000-08:00

HELLO THERE AGAIN.

This is the first time I am posting after the 'A' levels, Christmas, my first job, the cosplay event, the new year, and NEARLY chinese new year (:

It was rather exciting waiting for the 'a' levels to arrive. Especially just days before the 1st paper starts. Pretty stressful. Then we chanced upon the countdown board :

AHA. Made me laugh with uneasiness. Very weird feeling I must say. With the exams over, I am waiting for the results with anticipation! I've a feeling that says that I did not bad. I want to trust that. ._.

And oh, I landed my 1st job when Tong How told me that Josiah had to give up his in order to go into NS early :X Anyways, I worked as a helper at the Australian International School, near Braddell Road. This is an ad at the bus stop there, which I find awfully funny.

And this is just because my father's name is Kenneth Lim, and that he would NEVER say that. NEVER EVER not on anyone's life.

The place there is fully air-conditioned. Very nice ;) I did everything as a 'helper' from sweeping the floor, stocktaking, book wrapping, serving customers and being a cashier. And wa lao. One thing that nearly scared me to death. A group of (ang moh) boys came in and asked for stationery. I showed them the box and they just grabbed alot of those pens. Made me panic because the supervisors had warned that they can get ebbil. They were 17 years old and up. One of them ran away without paying! nehneh. heng we managed to get one of his friends to pay for those.

The school also have pai kia culture somewhere, with the 'ah lians' leaving a few buttons unbuttoned O.O" very airy, I suppose. Under the Singaporean hot sun, anything can happen. ._. They have a population of angmoh>koreans>japanese>chinese>locals. Apparently for locals to enter the school, they must have lived in a foreign land for a number of years and have studied at an international school there. Otherwise, MOE won't let them join the school.

Oh yay. More pictures from the cosplay event. Remember Yu Shang? from Frank's Awards? well here she is on that day~:

Looking good with her love, sasuke! ><

Even if you don't know her, you MUST know him:

I saw him at the event too! :

I couldn't resist asking him for a photo ._. Ash with a fatal fury.

And the first cosplayer I saw, stalked, and took a photo of:

SIMCA from Air Gear ! hahaha look at the pair of 4-Wheel Drive AT.

Yes, please pardon me for my forgetfulness. I bought my handphone instead of a digital camera T_T"

Oh yes. one final picture. We think that some gangsters play maple. It is clear in the game. But in the real world.. Where is the evidence!?

HA! HERE IT IS. They vandalized the pillar beside the bus stop! I knew it.

I feel awkward writing on my blog again after a period of.. Inactivity. Im anticipating 'a' level results, trying to keep fit for NS, and gearing up for my new job. That's about it for now, Im signing off this update ! :D take care, people.

Mosquito's Results.

2008-03-21T01:48:00.000-07:00

Say a big hello to a new post and a new blogskin on tomato-slate.blogspot.com after 1.5 months ! Im not feeling exactly emo. I just needed a space expansion for the big pictures.

And this time its after I get my 'A' level results, and watched a couple of movies.

I don't think min has been informed of my results yet. So here they are~

Gp's looking pretty off, I know. I still want to try to do computer science and business in the U. Im deciding on the courses after this coming tuesday, when I attend the ntu alumni senior-meet-junior thingy. Jas is taking computing ! (GOGO TELL HIM)

On to about the movies. I watched Rule No.1. A police horror movie. I personally think that its the best movie I've watched for quite a long time. And the ending is 'sweet' too. I know, nothing funny here. >_>

And what other movies are there out there?

First was The Chronicles of Narnia, some fantasy/magic/child genre.

Then recently came the Spiderwick Chronicles, which was of the same genre too.

Oh so boring. So what is coming up next?
This, of course.

And no, you can't find this on Yahoo Movies, yet. Because the written edition has just been released, right here on tomato-slate.blogspot.com.

The Mosquito Chronicles
By Frank Lim

BUZZ, BUZZ,
What a fuss.
Lurking in the dark,
It’s not a duck.

Reaching paradise,
I was.
But with its sharp eyes,
It waged war.

BUZZ, BUZZ,
What a fuss.
On with the Bug Zapper switch,
Let’s fry it till it twitches.

Armed with the repellent,
I waged war.
But even with overwhelming vigilance,
Around and waiting, it was.

BUZZ, BUZZ,
What a fuss.
On with the fan,
Let’s blow it to the Netherlands.

Little did I know,
It made its way back, oh no.
It took it two days,
But my both hands, were raised.

BUZZ, BUZZ,
What a fuss.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is about this single mosquito that single-hand(?)edly drove me out of my room. The movie might take awhile though. All these 'fuss' is not to be worried about, as Im heading into mozzie kingdom come 10th of April, 1pm.

But it really cost me a good 8 full hours of sleep in total. Yes, max, go easy on the guy who havn't entered ns yet.

And oh, I want you to meet furshar.

This was a pressie for christmas. THANK YOU SHANG. I know Im damn late on this. Do forgive me. But hey, the coin-bearing, blue-eyed furry cat has a (reverse)mole above the right side of the lip. Just as I did. A pity it didn't bring luck during blackjack.

Mas Selamat

PLEASE DIAL 999 IF YOU SEE HIM. DON'T KS THE POLICE.

Please keep your eyes on the light at the end of the tunnel. Don't forget what you are working for. Out to more people than one. (;

Im waiting patiently(I do hope I have more time to be patient) for ns enlistment. Lets go in with a positive attitude. And I do wish that I'll be accepted into the course that Im applying for. Otherwise I'll have to apply again next year. The girls don't get it.

YAY TO PSP.

Bye.

2008-11-17T20:50:00.000-08:00

Its such a drag to start packing my luggage.. Bah ! Going to report to Changi Airport to fly to brunei for training in lesser than 12 hour's time. I will miss you guys !

I'll see this place, my home, on 7th December 2008. Hmm the year's almost over before I knew it. I'll be back before I know it. :X

For now, This will be my home.

Happy Belated Birthday to me !

On the very first second of my birthday, I was on my blessed bed in camp. That was when I felt my mosquito net move, and heard beeping sounds similar to my alarm clock. (At that moment, I was not conscious that several smses have found their way into my cool inbox. (: )

its morning already?

I opened my eyes to find 9 human figures standing around my bed, like they were ready for some occult ritual.

What the hell .. ?

"Happy Birthday to you ... happy birthday to you ...", these were their chants for the ritual. Aha! this is my section giving me a birthday surprise.

omg from PJ!

"interesting present" !

end of "long weekend"!

Thanks ! (:

Highly Anticipated

2008-10-18T10:16:00.001-07:00

Im in the best place on Earth, my sister's room. I do not have a room now ! Just moved house, and will probably move again when Im out of the army 2010. So there isn't really a big point in having my own room.

Aaaand yes, I do have my own concerns and worries for Brunei. Im scared out of my wits. BUT, its gonna be fine. I will exhibit skillZ.

A picture to break the monotony, people.
I'll have to finish up my journal, which im supposed to update everyday, about reflections of my own learning, self-discovery, blah and blah. Lets see, last entry... 11th August. My journal is picking up my blogging traits. Im screwed. I'll fix it tomorrow at my grandma's house .

Mad food:

Hanabi Japanese Resturant-byebye pay. Hello happy tongue.
Ramen at S11 outside AMK hub. They have crazy noodles. Like these(just the first part):

Gonna try some Sushi Tei, Shokudo at city hall, chocolate at Fullerton some distant day. Just you wait.

See you next bookout !

Strange ..

2008-10-12T02:47:00.000-07:00

This is officially weird. Im feeling better in camp rather than out at home. ._.

One of these days im calling the SAF counselling hotline. O_O

19th nov - Brunei training for 3 weeks ! wooo !

after Christmas and New year in Singapore (thankfully :D), Thailand training for another 3 weeks. I can't wait !

This week..

2008-10-01T05:47:00.001-07:00

Grind

2008-07-27T02:52:00.000-07:00

WOOO post after 1 month. I don't have pictures as I have not being taking any.... with my non-camera phone. I've never been so busy in my life >_> shows how easy I've been on myself for the past 18 years. We're basically rushing from lessons to lessons in OCS. Breaks are minimal and ... the best things. I miss my freedom ._.

We're not getting much decent bookout timings, but I guess that's the price to pay for one of the shortest officer courses. Actually I think it IS the shortest one, with 38 weeks(9 months) of training, while Thailand's one spans 7 good years.

Wish I could share some funny experiences, but my mind's full of emo for now. I have just finished typing my stuff too. We even have homework sometimes O_O

Im emo cos I failed a particular test and will have a shortened bookout this coming week.. SAD . I'll hang on. Take care peepz !

no, no, No, NO!

2008-06-22T06:18:00.001-07:00

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Frank's Awards (delay)

2007-08-11T05:38:00.000-07:00

Oh NOES! I accidentally sent Frank's Awards One Week into the future!!!!

Its not easy to get started too. But I push myself to just go. Then, after awhile, I get tired. I used to give up at this point in time, but I know that I can do it, and have to do it, so I endured it anyway, just like many others do. During the activity, I try to focus my attention on something else other than my suffering, this way, I have less tendency to give up. After I'm done, I relish the feeling of success, feel good that I had not given in even a little. Its about jogging, but I'm starting to put it into studying, and life. KEEP GOING~! ;)

GOOD friday

2007-04-06T05:59:00.000-07:00

Another month has passed since i last laid my cursor on 'New Post'. After a couple of week's of staying back in school, and missing my weekend by spending it on Ubin, it FELT FANTASTIC (something up huh, max?) to have went out last night with my classies and the PRC staying with our class. it was his last day in srjc. Im not entirely sure what the PRC means. something to do with 'China'? oh, and i will be providing the most FASCINATING website i had ever stumbled upon - one that arouses my curiosity and thinking and makes me go HMMM - at the end of this post. do take your time to read. =]

Anyway, this PRC is this student from China, who is studying in Singapore, staying with us in srjc for 2 weeks. (he said 'SRJC is a good place' WOO) before going on some NTU bridging course to enter there to get a degree. well, we did talk to him, and u know WHAT those china kids/students start school at 6 30 am in teh morning, ending only at 10 30 pm at night. talk about maplers having no life. unless they find words and books such fasinating and FUN OBJECTS (something up, max?). The speech they CAME UP with within 2 school days was pretty impressive, i must say. looks like i had underestimated their command of the english language, although there was still a sharp accent. FRANKLY, i think that its better than hearing grammar-impaired Singlish from teachers.

Now, there is a CONSPIRACY behind this PRC thing. teachers can't stop comparing us with that bunch of hardworking chinese kiddos. not being rude towards them here. i do admire their determination and resolution in working hard. oh, and i did mention staying back in school? that's because i lack the virtue of being able to study at home with all the distractions lying around like booby traps. [YES! I RESISTED THE TEMPTATION OF PUTTING CAPS ON THOSE 2 WORDS](these decreases my time meter, instead of the usual health meter in RPGs) anyway, these ppl are paid by the MOE to come here and study. now here's the thought provoking part - is MOE sooooooo KIND???? - maybe not. after completing their degree in NTU, they have to work for 6 years in Singapore. here it comes:

Conspiracy no.1: to ask singapore students to work harder
Conspiracy no.2: by getting them to work here, the income earned by them in 6 years probably exceeds the amount of $ MOE pumped in, hence increasing Singapore's GDP. Since when did MOE probe into affairs of MAS?

oh yeah, back to last night. The classies who went out were Desiree, Max(hi), Daniel, Joseph(wow!?), Reonne, Nicholas, Yuan Wei(HE WORE JEANS), ZHONG WEI(i wonder what happened to her 6pm curfew) and maybe Jin Yan and her bf, Jun Jie. of course, Ade-wind aka Edwin(i think) aka Wen Bo aka Li Ning(daniel insisted on calling him that), our class's Mr.PRC (i don't mean harm =D) was with us. We had wanted to watch Mr.Bean or TMNT, but TICKETS WERE SOLD OUT. zomg. first time having that happening to me. betcha didn't know that Mr.Bean is SO Hawt and seksi. so WHAT did we do, u ask? we had dinner at some.. Betty Bombers? this restaurant at the cineplex near PS. food wasn't impressive, in fact, the only thing that made me jump was how much it hurt my poor wallet. After we had food, we walked back to PS b4 making our way from cineplex to cineleisure. oh yea it was funny to hear max make an error in the chinese language, when he usually shoots down anyone making a language blunder. we even had a photo with a 'S11' sign. our class is 2S11 =P

There were screams of ecstasy coming from the 'Spot the difference' game stand in the pool area in cineleisure. Apparently, a bunch of S-11 students had GREAT fun at the machine. it was SO EXCITING. definitely worth the dollar. oh well, mr max and yuan wei were playing pool while we were at it. soon after, we went down to the last station for me. the arcade. I.... WAS still a virgin at House of the Dead4. or any arcade shooting games. yea, u guessed it. my first time was filled with screams, pain, and blood. SHE IS SO CUTE.

THEN i had to go! my sister, Gwen, was on her way home already, she went to town too. so i went home with her =]

i feel much closer to my family than ever this year, and im loving it.

Today, is Good Friday. though i not a christian, i feel like celebrating. it made her so happy =] gives her her well deserved break.

AND GET WELL SOON SHANGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u needa enjoy this hol =P

oh yeah. im done with this post. compared to my previous ones its so LONG! some people might take pains to take it in. (i had to do it. something up, max?) ALRIGHT!! good night ppl! thank you for visiting, imma take a break now. =DD take care~

2dae's date is... 22/2. fairly nice date, isn't it. looks like i'd waited quite some time for this day to come. for its been over a year since i last saw her. somehow... it did not feel right at all, not one little bit. for there's... something dark. she's troubled by schoolwork and sorts. apparently ip wasn't as easy as most of us thought it to be. somehow, i also get the feeling that my presence was disturbing.

it might just be me. i'd always known myself for thinking too much. seeing her this way saddens me as well. it isn't right. i wish to do something about it. that's why i went down 2dae, wasn't it. hmmm.

despite all those. i was just glad to see her again. WOOOO. hope it perked u up abit. hor?

hao le. i shall continue to do work. i owe the teachers too much -_-"

godspeed to me and good nite!
