Today's a nice day. Finished packing my room after 3 full hours of non-stop work. Well, maybe not non-stop but it sure was tiring trying to throw stuff away and also sort worksheets that have been piling up on my table and around my table as well.

And And And And!! I found my CD that contains all my CO pieces!! Whoots!! Listening to Long De Chuan Qi now. Oh my gosh. That song brings back memories. =) Oh my gosh, the suona part in the beginning is just so good. I'm having goosebumps now. And I'm pretty sure it ain't cos of the fan. Haha. Let's just enjoy the song. =)

Been feeling rather sick since yesterday. Not sure why. I was commenting how I might as well rent a toilet and stay there cos things were real bad yesterday. Didn't have any appetite as well. Oh my. What a time to fall sick.

Mum's coming back from the hospital today. =)

Well, today was a pretty nice day. Started the day with some entertainment, followed by an outing to Queensway Shopping Centre to get Darrell's shoes. Walked for about an hour before heading down to City Hall to join the rest for Calvin's birthday lunch. It was pretty swell I have to say, as we spent some quality time together as friends. So yea, it was good. =)

Played pool after lunch. I must say that I had lots of luck when I was playing against Darrell. Haha. Had 6 shots in at one go. Whoots! Haha.

I'm tired. Really tired. Mentally and physically. I give up.

I wanna buy Kenny Roger's new album Water and Bridges or something like that.

Well, the previous week has been full of ups and downs. Let's recap what happened last week.

The week started pretty badly, with news of us getting our results only on Friday. That was indeed very bad, as we had to or at least, I had to endure all the way till Friday. Hence, I didn't really enjoy myself on Monday. Coupled with the fact that it was pretty torturous to go through the entire day, it became really saddening from the moment I stepped into college. Could not wait for the end of lessons. So pretty much, nothing happened. Oh ya.

My gosh why am I even recapping what happened? Not as if it really matters. So let's just focus on what life really means eh?

Well, for starters, I passed the promotional exams without failing a paper. That's quite alright I suppose. But then again, we all know that's not going to be enough because quote, "the A levels is a lot harder than the O levels. You will not be able to do it on your own." unquote. One wonders who said that huh. *grins* So yea, I guess I'll have to work a lot harder if I am to even touch a degree, which I guess is essential in this superficial world, or should I say, superficial society.

The debate on the purpose of education can go on and on, much like the question about whether the hen or chick came first. Let's just say it's due to evolution that the hen was able to be created yea? Oh right, I just took a stand that would allow me to get slated by lots of like-minded people who insists that the Evolution Theory is nothing but a buff. This world is just so full of questions. Sadly though, most of the questions don't come with answers. Just like how it is possible that you still don't get what I'm trying to say. Double meaning? I guess so. If one is even able to tell that I'm referring to 2 very different issues then I guess that person's a pretty shrewd dude. No wonder Miss Jay and Mr Prince says I need to link my essays. Oh ya, and Miss Tan too.

How do hints actually work? I'm really confused with all the advice that people are giving. Or should I say, Jie has been giving. I so want to just end it 'cos it's starting to get on my nerves. My mind tells me it's alright, just end it. But my heart says go on. Cliche cliche. How cliched. But who cares? So long as I get my point across it'll work. Wrong dude. That's so wrong. It's not whether or not you get what you want. It's about whether or not people accept what you want. That's life. Sadly.

Nothing much happened today. I kinda spent most of the day sleeping and dreaming about stuff that I cannot seem to recall. It's kinda boring and silly to spend the entire day at home not doing anything. My gosh.

This is how a heart breaks now. It's stupid to just keep waiting and not take any action. Nonsense. Rubbish.

Bryan Adams. He's the man. Together with Ronan Keating, you get 2 excellent singers who can make you cry.

It's hard to force yourself to not reveal too much to someone when you are actually talking to that person. Much as you'd want to let the person know stuff, you're actually holding back 'cos you're afraid of losing what you currently have. So all you can do is to just drop small lil hints here and there and hope that the person would understand it instead of just saying it out directly. It's tough. But then again, nobody said it was going to be easy.

Post promos have been awfully awful. Received my lowest ever score for Chinese today. Bad. Lit was a disaster. I think it's time I file my stuff and pack them nicely so that I can use them next year. It really is very frustrating when you think you did well for a paper only to know you actually did super badly for it. My gosh. My life is screwed up. Period.

It's amazing how we can tell alot about the person's attitude towards an issue from the responses they give. I guess that's when Literature skills come into handy eh? I mean, if someone gives you short simple answers all the time, then it's kinda obvious what the person's trying to drive at yea?

I'm tired of trying to think of stuff to say or do. Oh my gosh. I'm really tired.

The following entry is dedicated to 1AA5-AC Games-Captain's Ball. =) :

Well, after playing more than 1 hours worth of collective Captain's ball, I'm pleased and honoured to mention that 1AA5 managed to attain a very respectable Semi-Finalist position. To top that up, we were the only Arts class to get it to the last 4. So yea, good job AA5. =)

We played our first game at a frantic pace. You could see that we were actually more of playing for the sake of playing. But as the game went on, the team started to really play like a team, making shots after shots, blocks after blocks, passes after passes. We managed to win our first game rather comfortably. Our class cheer before the game really made us feel like a team, and more importantly, as a class.

The next game was no different, with us playing at a rather comfortable level. It was only the second qualifying round but we were already playing as a team, as if we've been playing together for years. Managed to win by another comfortable margin.

Then came the hardest match we had ever played. It was a very tough game, with us starting to panic after going down 4-1 in the opening minutes. Never in the previous 2 games have we trailed and it really affected us. However, with every pass and every cheer and every shot, we slowly climbed our way back, with a lil luck of course. We managed to play all the way to 8-6, with us leading in the final 1 minute. Much as we wanted to slow down the pace of the game, we lost our focus instead, and allowed the other team to score 2 quick points, taking the game into sudden death. From then on, it was a matter of which team wanted it more. You could see it in the players' eyes. We all wanted win the championship. And we did. Kawai's last catch sealed the game for us and we won. We managed to get into the semi-finals.

The game tired many of us out. But we were happy. Happy that we managed to turn the game around and win it at the end. The semi-finals was a tougher game. Bodies were bruised and tired legs were kept going by the sheer will and determination to win. The whistle was blown. We lost. We were all rather sad after the match. The post-match cheer was indeed very refreshing and very emotional. We were glad to see other Arts classes cheering on our class and even wanting us to do Arts proud. Afterall, we were the only Arts class in the last 4. That alone, is a great achievement.

Although we lost the game, I feel that we've actually gained much more than sheer bruises and injuries. We gained intelliegence and friendship. As we barked and shouted during the game, we actually bonded with one another. Never again will I be able to experience such emotions even though I've lost a game. Yes. That's the spirit. The AA5 spirit. Much as people look down on us being AA5, we've actually gained the respect of many people, or at least it seems so. I'm not sure. I'm only certain that we've gained more than what we've lost.

So yea, here's to, in no order of merit:
Jerome, for leading us in the game and being our runner.
Kawai, for being our ever reliable catcher with excellent balance.
Chris, for being our ever steady wall. =P
Shu Wei, for being our female sharpshooter.
Rose, for being our positive woman who never stopped trying.
Amanda, for being our passer and baller stealer.
Jith, for being our super-sub who scores at the most crucial of times.
Naesh, for being our Speedy Gonzalez.
Ian, for being our heart in the middle of the park.

So there you have it. The wonderful 10 players, including myself, of AA5. Thanks for making my JC1 life ever so interesting. I'll remember this day for sure during my next few months in school. Thanks.

"1-2-3. AA5!!"

It's been a torrid day today. Started off really badly for me. Not sure if my laptop's going on a strike or that it feels the need to spoil my day but it's a fact that my laptop has been a lil cranky lately. Either it fails to startup or that it's connection gets all screwed up. Sighs. And they say technology's suppose to make our lives better. I beg to differ on this occassion.

My head's splitting like how the Nile river runs through Egypt. Endless. Yea. Thanks Head. I owe you one for making my life even more interesting. Took a pill and now it doesn't hurt as much. Sighs.

Can't wait for my results to be back. Thought I did rather alright this time. Not sure how things will turn out though. They always say, the more confident you are about things, the more likely you'll be in for a surprise. Oh my gosh. I sure wish things ain't going the way those old willies think! Looking forward to getting my Econs and Lit papers back. Pass those 2 and I'll be able to promote for sure. Argh!!

This world is really screwed up. Talking to Calvin on the phone now. Listening to some very interesting news. Oh my gosh.

Ever know why things start to build up pressure when things are bottled up? 'cos it all adds to tension and problems. So will you accept what I'm about to say? Wait till I'm ready to say it then.

So here we are, at the end of what we call the worst exam we have ever been through. Or at least, till now. Sighs.

Lit was relatively alright today. Felt rather alright after the paper. Decided to get a haircut after my exams. So yea. My hair's rather short now. LOL. How's that for a bit of information regarding my life. How interesting.

Been working on my song. Think I'll attempt to get the tune out as well. Been months since I last touch my music. Haha. Now that's bad. Oh ya! I'm getting my new organ on saturday!! *beams* Haha.

You know what, I finally understand what it means by the thing regarding biggest distance is when you're in front of someone but not being able to say what you actually feel. Ouch. Such is the wonder of words. Oh gosh~~

My head's gonna burst anytime now. Freaking tired after a demoralising afternoon. Shan't talk about it. Math is killing me as much as how birds eat worms. o.O You get what I mean. Seriously tired. I just hope I can get that A for Math that I so badly want but feel that I can only achieve at most a C grade. Oh my gosh. My promotion depends on this Math paper. Clear it and I'll be in J2. Fail, and I'm screwed. Big time.
