exams begin on fri for us and most of the other top schs... so good luck everybody! the culmination of a year's work or lack of it... just do your best yea? hope y'all will do well.... and bring glory to God!
anyway, yesterday was quite lame... went to PE without my swimming sth and turns out most of the class didn't bring also... so teachers got quite pissed and one started scolding us... then he went to scold shiv for not cutting his hair (which he was, ironically, going to cut that afternoon) and told mun to send him off to the dover barber shop... anyway then he like looked around and told me to go get my hair cut too... so i end up cutting hair with shiv at dover barber shop while mun stones in the background... how dumb.... but i must say the barber did a pretty good job, cut my hair to specs without compromising overall look... so now my hair is once again the correct length to spike. whee.
ends up the barber takes q long on me, so we go back and find that PE is over... after a short talk by the PE teacher we go off for recess... so that's about it then.
oh well. studying geog now. this year's not been up to the previous years' standard, but i'll be happy with my overall 85 or above for those 7 pts... need somewhere to compensate HCL (ugh) anyway....
hmm. perhaps will play some NWN now? or continue studying... anyway must say that Keane is the best light stuff (as opposed to heavy stuff like Rammstein) i've heard in years... that and Blue and Maroon 5...
ok then... all the best and keep on working hard yea? keep striving onwards...

argh. brandon is so bloody irritating. he continually pesters me about geog project files when the problem is clearly with him and his com... i mean everybody else had already gotten the files, so its his problems. so he tries to demand that i make the files smaller or break them up and hand them to him using a CD or something.
eh brandon. you contribute naught to the project, then pester me and demand things from me when your com screws up? think again.
worst of all, you BCC yvonne lim about the problem without my knowledge. you think you're damn big right? even if yvonne lim does come and kachao me about it, so what? it just shows that you can't handle your own problems. that's right, its your problem, not mine. your mum comes in and switches the com off, that's your problem. your com jams up, that's your problem. worst of all, you have to act like a sissy and run crying to yvonne lim.
tell you what brandon. while ur running off crying to the authorities over your own bloody trivialities that you can't even solve yourself, why don't you run out of 3.9.
yea that's right. get the hell out of 3.9. we don't want your retarded face polluting the class environment.
oh wait. i don't need to tell you to get out. you've already done it yourself by FAILING your average and not handing in your work.
reality check brandon. you're gonna FAIL. that's right, F-A-I-L. hope you made friends with the pple in 3.8, cause you're gonna be joining them next year.
no bloody amount of appeals is gonna make up for plain stupidity.
so let's go out on a limb.
good-bye, brandon, my FORMER pre-IB classmate. it was nice knowing you.....NOT!

sigh... exams are in 2 weeks time, so time for a hiatus till exams are over... will see how motivated i am to mug for chinese Os at that time... anyway jus poppin by to say that dodgeball is q funny, but is rather a waste of money cause its way too cliched... u can basically predict the entire storyline from just a short time of watching the movie... so if ur a fan of crude slapstick then go ahead, but if u actually prefer a movie with a plot, then i advise against it...

anyway. after the movie (which i watched on fri with roy, jason and benchia) we were walking out of PS but when we reached the foodcourt level, this beng came up to me and spoke some massively incoherent sentence that soundly remotely like "eh u bother my fren issit" so i assumed that he said that and replied no... to which he replied with something like "next time, (majorly incoherent gibberish) , understand? " so i was like "ok..." then he proceeded down the escalator and continued staring at us (or me) for quite a while... in other circumstances it would have been rather freaky except for these 5 reasons:
1. he's a saint andrews guy. saw his saints shirt before the movie... which means he's only in secondary sch.
2. he can't speak coherently. and we're talking speaking SINGLISH coherently. major retardation dudes...
3. he was alone. at best he had 1 guy and about 6 girls with him, but they were 1 floor down.
4. i'm in a group. 4 guys versus 2? nahh...
5. he's frickin HALF MY SIZE. btw this is the most important reasons why tt was so funny... its like me trying to pick a fight with shaq...

well well. i knew bengs were dumb, but are they seriously so blind? someone needs glasses man... or mayb he's too poser for em...

regardless. back to notes compilation for my fren.

hmm... been 2 weeks since i last updated... been too busy playing and doing work etc...

played bball today. pretty good stuff, think i made 5-6 turnaround jumpers... much better than recess showing etc. still, ben wee owned my specs... got a cut below my eye... bah.. rather smarting and doesn't alleviate when i close my eyes... but not a big cut tho... guess just some occupational hazards... haha...

well. haven't started studying for the exams yet. so fun. but i seriously cannot be bothered this year... i mean its like GEP there's only 60 people, and i can realistically only compare marks with those 60... so its like, if i can't get something like top 5 in those 60, why even bother? i mean i was 7th at the semester 1 term report and that's not particularly good... its not like in mainstream O level or mainstream IB where they give prizes for top 5 so even top 5 is not so good... but still. not like i can hold a candle to mun or moh since my average in sem 1 was q far off theirs...

yet, people have started studying already. but i haven't. its like i have no energy, no motivation left at the end of the year. can't do my ISO (yes, its not finished.) can't be bothered with geog fieldstudies. its like i just gave up at the end of term 3, when all the major projects converged together and owned us. oh well. at least phuan commended my EOS, despite the fact it was 2 times the word limit... 3200 words.... haha. who wants those measly 2 marks for discipline anyway.... guess i'll have to change that soon.... seems like IB follows it very strictly...

meanwhile... i guess i'll just amble along and fall flat on my face at the end. it is the last hurdle of the year. the last out of 400 m. would you gather enough strength to jump over the hurdle, or would you just knock it down and crash?

hope y'all will keep striving forward, even as the year comes to a close. times are hard, things are difficult, but yet somehow, someway, with God's strength, we will overcome.

as we pray for Sam Chan and our exams, let us not forget our calling as students, to study hard.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." Hebrews 12: 1-3
