3 weeks left till end of term 1...

Late for school chinese remedial today...

Got caught sent to the principal sia.
Not as if i wanted to be late, lor
I know that my Chinese sucks and i need the revision time.
In the end, waste my time lecturing on the importance of punctuality.

What the heck, it spoilt my day. Only relief in the school curriculum was the presence of the *free* Geography lesson at the end of the day. Yay! Mrs Pang had to go give support to the school table tennis team and Jonathan Tan better do well or else cannot have his table space (HA, not so ;-), hopefully). Then again, I couldn't go for recess as i was too tired to have a foodie break.(That's partly why i was so quiet during the History lecture later, HuaZhi, in case ur reading tis :'/ )

Choir, haiz...
Dunno what happened to me. Test for SYF but then under KI probation. My freaking alto voice failed me... yet again! Maybe i should reconsider going back to soprano, my voice can at least reach that vocal range better, plus the parts so easy to memorise! After SYF and Hong Kong then maybe go to Tenor and Bass to relax and prepare for O' levels. Meanwhile, I just want to concentrate on my song delivery. Not much to ask, right?

One more thing... i need more encouragement to excel in my Chinese O's! 30th May is so NOT (gate) far from today!!! Three weeks till the end of term 1 and times are not with me, as with other needy people.

A small prayer...Please Lord, give me the heart and strength to break away from the tide of the evils of the world and instead ride on it tp your hand of freedom. Let the immense number of sinners repent, so as to fufill your glory and grace in me. Let the demons run away from this wonderful and mysterious land, and destroy them in Hatred from those who turned from you. Make me humble and let me honour you with praise and fellowship, and never ever to turn away from the open door of Jesus in my heart.Amen.

Going to go choing Chinese and Mathematics liao...choing... and choing,and choing,and choing,and choing...and choing... wish me peace (the painful world, too).

free day

Sean...good friend, how come you say at school (& the tagboard 2)that you cannot update your blog anymore. My reason for doing this is for many reasons one lez, not suddenly anyhow just *boing* out of nowhere one.

Like, it's a very good tool for improving your English skills, man. Also, there is a great learning experience in updating blog skin (though tiring at times). Then there is the sharing of my thoughts on the web to people like you.

A blog's not meant to be dropped. It's a display of your past, current, and future life, where you can release your inhibitations under the imaged influence of "being private". Just don't be too engrossed on the modding of the web, cos there's affecting your O' level ~;-) .

Today, the Geography students (k, it was more like the non-pure history ppl lah) got realeased from the clutches of the usual lesson plan. Instead, the corhort went to the Singapore Science Centre to watch a Omnimax movie, "Forces of Nature". It is a documentory on the destructive wonders that the earth experiences and is explained quite concisely and briefly. As i could not obtain a good middle seat, the curved screen caused the side people (sadly including me) to feel dizzy at some part of the show and had to rest a while to avoid a severe case of nausea.

Some exhibitions there were also quite interesting (not described here, go see urself), with the post-presentation explaining the "Forces of Nature" a little more juicy, courtesy from the organisers of the Science Centre.

Choir later after coming back wasn't eventful. Just that Fabian had trouble guiding the sops and altos for the combined sectionals. Much as i dread, i have to thank Guo Wei for negotiating better organisation of the scheldule planned of the +***** Jeremy Gan-MING. (funny how all the irritating ppl r named Ming 1)

grey area

Today is total defence day here in Singapore. The day that marked the fall of The Crown Colony of Singapore on 15 February 1942 from the stupid British to the victorious and deceitful Japanese on their quest to reunite Asians under colonial rule.

Much taken into account, an important event happened at 1200hours. There was a blaring warning signal that marks the need for the Singaporeans to stay vigilant in Total Defence. Consisting of (blah...)Psychological Defence, Social Defence, Economic Defence, Civil Defence and Military Defence.

I do not want to blog too much, i still have to update this neveruptodate blogskin ;-))

And darn, i could not finish my English comprehension passage because an announcement commenting on the signal (as mentioned earlier) disrupted the test.

After that was a Geography lesson. Human Geog.Population control was established by limiting the number of immigrants entering Singapore. Not only that, SFPPB, the Singapore Family Planning & Population Board was set up to help the campaign of "STOP AT TWO" or "TWO IS ENOUGH".

Unfortunately, some sexually deprived manics interpreted
SFPPB; Sex for Pleasure Promotion Board

Done with that piece of dirty news, the sad thing i learnt was that the PAP actually imposed that policy ("TWO IS ENOUGH", not SFPPBversion2.0) by allowing abortion and slapping fines to couples who had a third child and above. To a certain extent it is less worse than China's one-child policy, but it only emphasizes that THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE is a very FINE country, even in the past.

This is just an update on some lesson plans that the teachers in my school give for that holistic approach to studying. Hot eh?

Today, we honour Valentine

Yes, as the title proclaims, we love Valentine's day. Don't you?
You get simple gestures of love all around.
Especially in school (since a whole half day is over there).

Choir rockz that day.
After school the chinese teacher bogged down the chinese failures (sadly including me) with an unearthly 50 chinese idioms and sentences within half an hour, as choir started at 1500hours when school roughly ended... get the maths right, its 1430(2:30pm).

I had to choing the whole thing and i don't think i memorised everything.
Right, back to choir time. What can i say? Delightful. Some people got rejected (i am SADIST right now, so excuse me for a moment). HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....
Ming Han did not get his Valentine (the spastic sec2 in sop). I sang because of it, cos it was perfectly legal during choir.
Should have took a photo of it and post it here--->




But didn't bring my digital camera over. Too bad again. What a waste of space up there.

+Abit of history and rumors as a memoir to St. Valentine

Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.

According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

Enjoy life, we little people on the third rock from the sun, Earth.

postCNY

Today have to head back to school.

Why the government so bad one...
Friday not declared as a school holiday(i also don't mind public, you fag workers out there).
I juz wanna rest from school a bit longer ~3days... also cannot.

All this just declares that i am slacking, but its a good thing.
Getting the time to slack before the O's is good to a certain extent.
Can appreciate and get some late work done.
Hmmm... also can revise Sec 3 work.

That's good.

Man, later some people are coming to the house.
My parents cell group coming to visit the facilities and have dinner too.
Maybe i can steal some time to pump up my basketball and go play somewhere for an hour.Lifes better with destressing bball.Thats right man.

Oh, well i cannot tell you how much i got for visiting relatives, can I?
Only for my personal diary ;-)

preCNY

Today, the school ended early.

I quote from Huazhi...
"VP gave us false hope by asking us "Do you want Friday to be a holiday as well?" After a long round of cheering, he replied "We will do that when we go private." Bottomline is: Come to school on Friday..."

All i can say is: DAMN

Later, a CNY Dinner has to take place. I will, as usual, juz do my chores.And laio yu sheng (me favorite--throw fishy things around). Already, i am calculating my takings for tomorrow. Thats how much i am being deprived of pocket money currently. Still, pray for the poorer people in the world.

Oh Yeah, i finally got to play bball today after the school's Chinese New Year Programme. Really shoik man, playing against seniors and thrashing them almost flat. Cheers!

News Media Joke

After the incident in Falluja, everyone's a bit on edge about what is permitted in war. Here's a joke about a confused marine:

Dan Rather and Peter Jennings, along with a U.S. Marine assigned to protect them, were hiking through the Iraqi desert one day when they were captured by terrorists. They were tied up, led to a village, and brought before the Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the al Qaeda leader in Iraq.

Zarqawi said, "I am familiar with your western custom of granting the condemned a last wish; so, before we kill and dismember you, do you have any last requests?"

Dan Rather said, "Well, I'm a Texan; so I'd like one last bowlful of hot spicy chili." Zarqawi nodded to an underling who left and returned with the chili. Rather ate it all and said, "Now I can die content."

Peter Jennings said, "I am Canadian, so I'd like to hear the song 'O Canada' one last time." Zarqawi nodded to a terrorist who had studied the Western world and knew the music. He returned with some rag-tag musicians and played the anthem. Jennings sighed and declared he could now die peacefully.

Zarqawi turned and said, "And now, Mr. U.S. Marine, what is your final wish?"

"Kick me in the ass," said the Marine.

"What?" asked Zarqawi. "Will you mock us in your last hour?"

"No, I'm not kidding. I want you to kick me in the ass," insisted the Marine. So the leader shoved him into the open, and kicked him in the ass.

The Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled out a 9mm pistol hidden in his cammies, and shot Zarqawi dead.

In the resulting confusion, he leapt to his knapsack, pulled out his M4 carbine, and sprayed the remaining terrorists with gunfire. In a flash, they were either dead or fleeing for their lives.

As the Marine was untying Rather and Jennings, they asked him, "Why didn't you just shoot them? Why did you ask them to kick you in the ass?"

"What," replied the Marine, "and have you assholes call me the aggressor?"
