Halloween is drawing nearer.. and nearer..

Wahahahaha..

Rain.

Rainy days.

They are weird, alright.
Sometimes, rainy days help unfold a couple's love for each other.

I saw a couple, a fat guy and a pretty girl, sacrificing himself by getting drenched in the rain, while holding the umbrella to shelter her girl. Isn't that sweet?

I swear those two would turn out fine..

And it's an inspiration for me to look up to.

xD

Chocolates

When they say that chocolates help one to calm down..

It wasn't a joke.

It's true, it's too fucking true.

Rofl.

Haha. All of a sudden, this word comes into mind.

Gratitude.

All hail the great gratitude. Nowadays, I do not really expect gratitude from people. I had to close one eye every single time, and let them have their way. Yep, I'm channeling my frustration inside me. Frankly speaking, I'm just confused.

Right now, I just could not differentiate who are my friends and who are not. Once there was a group of students or.. should I say, a clique. They were so close, like blood siblings and one day, disaster strikes. They shared weal and woe together, and eventually, problems are solved. God knows why these problems just kept coming back. Some believe that it's destined that such a clique shouldn't have existed. Having knowing that, all members of the clique started to talk behind their friends or should I say, enemies' back.

Gradually, the clique fell. All hope was lost. There wasn't even a chance for amendments. Everyone acted rashly, starting fighting, promote criticism. Indeed, in my eyes, it's truly a bad sight. One day, there was this fat boy, who wanted to just piece everything back. He was an optimistic guy, but sadly enough, his optimism wasn't contagious. He thought hard, but to no avail, things are just getting worse. So he decided, why not let nature take its course?

However, nature was being evil. The members of the clique started to have problems of their own. Every single problem was one of its kind, which makes it difficult for comfort. This fat boy, started listening to everyone's problems, tries to solve them but still, it's the same outcome.

So he guessed that piecing back everything was a total failure. He finally understood that every single thing that happens in life is due to them, themselves and their manipulations. He even related it to a MMORPG, whereby the character you created, all depends on your hands and how you control it. It's like life, you control your life, you don't let fate, destiny or nature to operate it, they do not have hands.

So in the end, this fat boy decided that they should just live their life. Of course, he always hopes for them to have a life of joy, of optimism and of happiness. It's all up to them to decide.

Although some of his friends still make fun of him and not talking to him most of the time, at least, he knows how to enjoy a life of solitude, thanks to his childhood.

Heck, I do not know why I wrote that story (Some sort, lol). But I felt better after typing it out.

Please note that 4D is not going for Graduation Night anymore. I figured that $58 is a huge sum and moreover, my classmates are not even interested. Seriously, there's no point in going when the whole class isn't, right? Everyone is like, interconnected.

"If he doesn't go, I won't go."
"If they don't go, I also don't want to go."

Just come clean with me, and say that you are not going. Period.

I will return the Graduation Night registration papers as void, back to Mr Derek Tan. Sorry to those who intended to go, like Chungaik, Asharudeen and Danial. But yeah, it won't be fun if not even half the class is going. So yep, my 4D classmates, enjoy your holidays after next week. Go work, slim down or anything. Best wishes for everyone.

As for me, I'm gonna slim down for 2 months. Hopefully, I'll get stronger by the time I enter NS.

Thanks for visiting and may God bless you!

ITE College East

Good evening people.

I went to the ITE College East, located at Simei.
Here's my review of the school.

Courses:
There are a lot of courses in ITE. Most of the courses there require you to pass AT LEAST English and Mathematics. Yep, Mathematics is a must to pass now. The equipments and appliances in the school are advanced, definitely. Nothing much to say about the courses, they are all typical courses you can find in a Polytechnic, albeit you learn more in the Polytechnic than in an ITE. Overall, there are a wide range of courses for you to choose, and most of them doesn't need high requirements to get into. It's great.

Facilities:
The facilities are awesome. There's shops at the ground level, which includes clothings, food, stationery and much more. The amphi-theatre (Like our Arena) was beautifully designed. There are escalators and elevators to ease movement through the levels. Every room is air-conditioned, so that's another great thing. In short, ITE College East is like a shopping mall cum school.

Community:
This is the part which kills. I wouldn't say that looks can kill, but never judge a book by it's cover. I seen a group of ITE students who simply criticised the name of our school. Other than that, most of the students here don't look too friendly, reason maybe they are being anti-social or just the typical "leave me alone" attitude. You can see the trend in the school. Skinnies, huge sunglasses, dyed hair, long hair, PSPs everywhere and much more. If you are the kind who isn't trendy, you will have a bad time or a long time adapting to this school's style. Sometimes, it's best not to make eye contact, especially those in groups. It may start with a verbal war, and followed by a fight. In short, always try to mind your own business and hang out with friends who are in the same course as you or your external friends.

Intructors/Lecturers/Teachers:
We didn't see much of the lecturers in the school, but I see students getting involved in group discussions, which is really GOOD. Proves that Technical students got what it takes to own. I willingly assumed that the lecturers here are really good.

Location:
Frankly speaking, the location of ITE College East is really far. No doubt about it. So if you are living in Queenstown and in this school, be prepared for a long bus/MRT ride. The catered buses even took 1 hour to reach the school. But one thing is for sure, even Polytechnics are really far. So it's good to experience this early, get used to it and not complain about the long traveling route.

Conclusion:
ITE College East is a good school. The bad thing about entering a new school is being able to adapt to it's community and environments. If you can't adapt, then you are screwed. If you want to be a lone wolf for 2 straight years, go ahead, but life sure sucks without friends. Courses are good, as I mentioned, there isn't a high requirement for all courses so you can get into your desired course quite easily. IF you must, change your wearing style and follow the trend in the school. People may despise you for using outdated styles. It's your choice, be yourself or follow the trend. Overall, ITE is a fairly good choice with a bit of setbacks. *smiles*

~

Aw, I can't decide. ITE College East is such a good school, I even have friends in there. I guess I'll just wait for the results then. If I get 10 points or below, I'll head for Secondary 5. 10 points and above (And no appealling), off to ITE College East!

Thanks for visiting and may God bless you!

What a tiring day!

Good evening!

Today was really a tiring day.

A loose tongue is a source of evil.

Anyway, some pictures from today. Not much taken though, since I took pictures during the first half of the art museum visit. Oh yeah, we had an external teacher by the name of Melissa, as heard from one of her colleagues. Man, she was sophisticated and extremely fluent in her voice. She was hilarious as well, haha!


Is the grass greener on the other side?


Mountains.. Close up.



Some wooden carvings.


I can't zoom. So, this is the best I can take. Some sort of ET. LOL.


The table which I scribbled on.


One hundred years of solitude. Sounds like me, lol.


A swing, swinging by its own.. Got me startled at first, lol.

Anyway, that's all for today.
Tomorrow, I'll be visiting the ITE. Hopefully, by tomorrow, I can decide which path I should take. Just under a dilemma right now.. It's hard to choose between Secondary 5 and ITE.

Thanks for visiting and may God bless you!

It's all.. weird

Seriously.. Srsly.

Today was the.. shit.

To many, it was pointless attending school since it's post-examination status now. The school have planned many activities, indoors or outdoors, and everyone seemed to complain about the $4 fee. I only have roughly 2 weeks of school left, and the worst part being not able to receive the N levels results, just sucks totally. While I envied other classes, my class was just a class, with 4 groups. No unity, no teamwork. I'm definitely not going to enjoy these few weeks of school. How am I going to consider this a graduation? I don't even know whether I can make a reunion party after we're like in our 30s. In short.. There's just a really huge gap in our class.. But, like anyone cares?

Now.. I know that I cannot graduate with a smile. Never.

If we can't even make these 2 weeks count and make it memorable, what's the point? The school is just wasting it's money. People are even complaining about the $4 and even said that they are not coming to school. How fucked up.

Yeah, keep on saying that coming to school now is pointless. Now, Miss Pang have to chase after those who planned on not coming to school anymore for a measly 4 bucks! Or maybe even pay for it using her own money. Great isn't it. The school assumed that it would be great to have post-examination activities and ended up, money issues, behavioral issues and attendance issues. It's really like adding fuel to fire.

Today, was the worst day. We came to class, spent 30 minutes cleaning up and the remaining 2 hours, we were restricted to drinking air, staring at other classes and looking around. Then after that, there was a fire drill. Then the bell ranged, like it's real spontaneous and then we went down. Imagine there was a fire, would people still be so calm as to just walk down? I bet people would be jumping over a window, havoc everywhere. And squatting down at the field was a bitch. I was putting my belly button injury to it's limit by pushing my weight into my legs and body. Eventually, I felt really weak. And then, Asha went to the canteen to eat and nobody bothered to stop him? So I was like, "Fuck yeah, I'm going down myself". I took the key, opened the door and my belly started to show stains. GREAT HUH. WHAT AN AWESOME DAY.

After that, Mr Kung came into class and started to talk so much. "This would be the future class next year". I was like, "You gotta be kidding right?". And the next statement he said was a contradiction, absentees won't be in next year's class? Man.. It's no surprise, since he did said that there will be one GESS teacher and several other school teachers in the N level examination hall, when it's the total opposite. Soon after, we headed into the IT room to hear Mr Giam's speech about the 3 paths, once again. Once we get the results, we'll talk about that. Right now, there's really no point.

Watched Freedom Writers. It had a good rating, and almost WAS the exact replica of our class. Open defiance, fights, racism, vandalism (It's common nowadays) and groups. I couldn't enjoy the movie because there were noises, in front, behind, everywhere. Most of the time, I just couldn't hear what the cast was saying. Call me a fucker or whatever, but I just wanted to enjoy the movie, man.. Upon watching the movie, I just felt good. If our class was as understanding as them, we would've been such a good class, with unbreakable bonds and team spirit.. The idea of writing journals was better than keeping a blog, since the pen is the mightiest tool amongst everything, writing a journal with a pen definitely keeps sentimental value. This is where laziness plays a part and eventually, journals died off and blogging became the trend. I still keep a journal, a personal one, to keep all my feelings inside.

Next was a Deeparaya 2008 concert, it was rather boring to be honest, but nothing beats to see a dance with Malay and Indian moves combined. I even learned some of the costumes' purposes and sure it was useful eh. Their names were just too stretchy, unable to recall.. After today, I just went home to have a good nap.

Well.. That's all for today then.
All I wish for.. is a memorable 2 weeks before I leave the school for ITE. Even if I'm eligible for Secondary 5, seeing the tree diagram that Mr Giam drawn and my age of 17, I can't afford to waste a year. Sorry friends and enemies.

Thanks for visiting and may God bless you.

Check Yes Juliet

I really love this song. It's catchy. xD

Check Yes Juliet - We The Kings




Lyrics for Check Yes Juliet:



Check yes Juliet
Are you with me?
Rain is falling down on the sidewalk
I won't go until you come outside.

Check yes Juliet
Kill the limbo
I'll keep tossing rocks at your window
There's no turning back for us tonight.

Lace up your shoes
Eh Oh Eh Ohhh
Here's how we do:

Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back.
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance.
Don't sell your heart.
Don't say we're not meant to be.
Run, baby, run.
Forever will be
You and me.

Check yes Juliet
I'll be waiting
Wishing, wanting
Yours for the taking.
Just sneak out
And don't tell a soul goodbye.
Check yes Juliet
Here's the countdown
3... 2... 1... now fall in my arms now
They can change the locks
Don't let them change your mind

Lace up your shoes
Eh Oh Eh Ohhh
Here's how we do

Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run
Forever will be
You and me

We're flying through the night
We're flying through the night
Way up high,
The view from here is getting better with
You by my side

Run baby run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run
Forever will be...

Run baby run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we're not meant to be
Run baby run
Forever will be
You and me
You and me
You and me




Good night. =D

The past 3 days were..

..bad

Yeah, bad.

My aunt injured her leg, while slipping on a partially wet floor. She's near 60, and her bones are starting to turn fragile. So, the past few days, I was the servant. It was fun though, I have to run errands here and there. And when she leaves for her country in November, I have to wash my own clothes, cook my own food and basically live my own life. It will be a good experience, compared to working outside. It might take me out of gaming for a while, but I won't stop, WoKF is addictive!

Yeah so, what I had experienced the past few days.. I've grown more independent, definitely. I even bought Straits Times everyday, to keep up with the latest news. I just found out that my aunt drank Dutch Milk a month ago, which contained melamine and considered as a tainted product. I read that several products have been detained and confiscated by the AVA already. And right now, my aunt is paranoid and she doesn't want to consume products from China until it's declared safe. Oh and if you drank or ate of late and felt a stomachache/diarrhoea, be careful, it could be melamine or something else harming your systems, consult a doctor if necessary.

So.. It brings me to my next point. Why China had to commit such a fatal fault, or is it on purpose? I read on 8-Days too, months back. It showed a process of using dead chickens (dead for quite long), and to go through a process that will make it LOOK like it's a fresh one. How sinful is that? I know they are trying to save cost and still provide chickens, but that's real disgusting. Whatever it is, everyone has contracted paranoia from this incident literally. Hope it ends soon, real soon.

Anyway, back to topic. I didn't only help out in errands, I continued playing WoKF. I made so much new friends, and enemies too. Having a guild in a particular game really broadens your social circle around the world. Now I have a friend, who's 23, living in Tennessee, USA. Married to a sexy, punky wife and just had their anniversary not long ago. And as usual, the top guilds in WoKF are mostly Singaporean ones, typical of them, always rising to challenges.

I might create a MySpace account and add them too, heh heh.

Anyway, it's very late now.. 2.14 am now.

And there's still school next week! What a total bummer..
I really wish the results release date would be nearer, so that I can rejoice. Right now, waiting for the release, is just plain, mental torture.

Before I leave, read this. I can't tell whether it's real or not, but it's from a TODAY newspaper.

Asiasoft finally getting their retribution? Or is it a blessing to the MapleSEA players? LOL.

Anyway, gotta sleep now.

N levels OVER!

Good afternoon!

My N levels are officially over! POA students ended theirs earlier, but so what! Haha! Anyway, since the examinations are over, I can go full throttle on my online games. I need to get back my happy mood and enjoy till the holiday starts. This time, I'm not going to work. Instead, I'm going to jog around the garden which is under construction outside my house. Looks like stadium-length jogging track, which proves useful to me since I'm aiming for Silver for NATFA (Or however you spell it) next year, hopefully.

Right now, at this moment, I have no mood to work, do homework or even go to school next week. Why? The N levels results! It will be released at 18 December, which is a really long time! Another matter is that graduation night is before the results release. I know you guys may say that graduation night is a waste of money and such.. Still, I like team spirit and graduation night is the only day I can hear the loudest of the student's voices while singing the School Song and other songs. Also, a night to flaunt your wealth, your tux, your formal wear or whatever..

Till this day, so much things had happened. There were good and bad, but most of it were bad. You wish you could turn back time, but it's impossible. What's done cannot be undone. Oh, I'm going to start listening to better songs. I had enough of most emotional songs already, some are really ridiculous, and it brainwashes people. Gawd. Songs that really make sense are songs from, like example, Teddy Geiger, Sara Bareilles, Missy Higgins, Ashley Parker Angel, We The Kings and so much more.. I need to listen to more alternative rock to pump up my life. Really, the rock genre makes you wanna boogie. Heh.

Oh yeah, I guess I'm gonna be a neutral party for the rest of my life. Once a whole, now split apart. Hope you understand that. Everything is falling apart gradually, and one day, there might be nothing left, but a memory of every little thing remained. As one said, a good life comes with a bad memory. If you're willing to bury the hatchet, you'll be happy. Why cling yourself onto something that pulls you further to the depths, rather than reaching and climbing out of the hole which you fell into. There are not 1, not 2, but many people whom I encountered, making themselves suffer for all the nothingness. I hope you find your way out of the hole, one way or another.

The new year is coming in approximately 3 month's time. It's the best time to lament, change your attitude and avoid faults in the coming year. Which ever path you go to, be it ITE or Secondary 5, change for the better. Nothing is stopping you. Don't expect nature, fate or destiny to reach upon you. Believe your hands, legs and brain. If you are working for money, do your best, wear a smile in front of your customers everyday and you'll be happy too. If you are bored, go for a garden stroll, look at children playing, when they feel happy, you'll be happy too.

In short, take care of yourself during the holidays and still wear a smile.

Nobody likes a frown. =]

Let You Go - Ashley Parker Angel

Video:



Lyrics:

Broken promises
But you don't really mind
It's not the first time and you know it
Don't you know
Tell me why it is you only smile inside
But when you break me into nothing
Don't you know
It's not like I haven't tried over and over again
Stupid fights, wrong or right
Goodbye

[Chorus:]
I remember when you came with me that night
We said forever, that you would never let me go
But here I am again
With nothing left inside
Know I don't wanna
But I gotta let you go

You're the one mistake I really didn't mind
So beautiful, unmerciful
It took me down
Too little and too late
See now I know your kind
You fake it easy just to please me
Don't you know
It's not like we haven't tried over and over again
Sleepless nights, wrong or right
Goodbye

[Chorus]

I gotta let you go
It's you
There's nothing I can do

[Chorus]

Tomorrow's the last paper. I'm so glad. Finally, no more insanity for me. xD

History!

Good evening!

I had my History paper in the afternoon today, and man, for the first time, I found it to be quite easy. Serious! In fact, I did not revise for History at all, all pure knowledge comes from my attentiveness in lessons. Somehow, the facts start to pour out and I written a lot for my first time. Believe it or not. Still, I find it very weird.

Well, tomorrow's the grand daddy, Maths Paper 2. It's gonna be hard, I hope. (Haha! Boon Keat, I hope you get B3!)

Anyway, before I end, I just want to share a game which I found to be quite addictive, hopefully would last for me for a while. The game is World Of Kung Fu!

More details about the game here.

My review:
Immediately, you would've guessed that it's an oriental fantasy MMORPG, typical grinder and stuffs like that.. Somehow, WoKF (Shortform) seems to beat most of that. Starting of the game, you get 4 skills to help you out. There is no skill points in this game, you can only use money to buy them or hunt them down from monsters. There is no stat points to add in this game, everytime you level up, stats are automatically increased. That would mean, balanced PVP and balanced wars. No critical builds, low DEX builds whatsoever.

There's no jobs in this game. Rather, there are 9 weapons to choose from. Mainly, the Sword, Spear, Staff, Fan, Broadsword, Hook, Hammer & Axe, Bow and lastly, the Fist. Each kind of weapon have different skills, some pure offensive, but there's no pure defensive. Fan and Hook are the support classes, while the rest are damage dealers. More information here.

There's a lot of unique features in this game. That's for you to find out! Some examples are, Instant Dungeons, Party Dungeons, Crafting, Collecting Materials and many more..

The only feature here I don't see in other games is WoKF's Qigong Temple. Practicing Qigong while in game allows you to gain experience without fighting! OMG, like how cool is that? BUT, there's a limit to how long you can practice Qigong. Everytime you spent 1 hour in the game, you gain 5 points. Everytime you level up, you gain 5 points. 1 point = 1 minute. And the experience gain is awesome, you can level up from 1 - 25 in a day, and the max level cap is 80.

Another feature is the wars. If you played 12Sky, Sho Online, you should know this. There are 5 warring nations, mainly the Zhou, Zheng, Liang, Wei and Qin. Kinda like Dynasties. You can enter war and then play a deathmatch with the other nation. It's so fun! I already played it myself. Damn..

Some screenshots of me in WoKF.


Me in Qigong Temple. The place for meditating. Haha, noticed that panda behind me?


She's a cute little panda!

Anyway, that's all. If you wanna play, please add me!
I'm in Golden Serpent server, a Lvl. 27 Spear and in Zhou Dynasty. Hope to see you there. (Although not much of my friends will join anyway.. Haha!)

Thanks for visiting and may God bless you!

October 1, 2008

Good day!

Good evening!

Happy Children's Day! (Rofl, I know it's for kids, heck, we all started as kids first, eh!)
&
Selamat Hari Raya Adilfitri to all my Malay friends! (Racist comments are prohibited!)

Well, it rained yesterday, quite a heavy rain I would say. Still, nothing beats that morning rain in school, at 27 September. Damn, that rain was ownage. It's good that it rained, it feels so warm nowadays. Or maybe, I'm just fat lah.

I had no mood to study History. I just detest the tedious job of memorizing facts. So I just revised on Maths, hoping to get an A2, if not, B3/4. For the last few days, I just hadn't got the mood to revise. I only wanted time to pass by quick, so that I could play some computer games! I just can't stand revising for long hours, I want to get more hands-on activities than pure writing.

Oh well, better stop here.
Tomorrow's the History papers.. Fucking bitch..
