That is so not fair. A F430 just went past the main road! But I can only hear it can't see it. But the new tenant can see it and hear it. Sigh sometimes I miss the days in Merawoods. I wonder how the view out there looks like now.The people in my house are really irritating. Some. At times. Ronald keeps pissing me off. Hey, it's Saturday man. I've just done A maths homework and now I'm on the com. He comes into the room and goes "Who say you can use the computer??" In that kind of high pitched and screaming voice. Damn ear-piercing and annoying. I got accused wrongly on Thursday too. I was studying for A maths on wednesday until 12. And then I slept at 1. So of course I was sleepy on Thursday. Then my mum asked me why I was so sleepy. Then she said "must be play computer until very late last night right?" When I didn't even touch the table which the com is placed. It's really not nice to think that people don't realise you have a rule to follow. Might tweak the policy by a bit.
Go-karting last week wasn't postponed luckily. It was more fun than usual. Could challenge adults there. Their kart is more powerful but HA im lighter. So in the end its about the same speed. Its nice whenever we race on the track. Like trying to find the smallest gap to pass them. And then making them feel dam loser because a "12 year old" boy has just overtaken them. Haha but thats for the slower guys. There's normally a super quick guy who just zooms past me and I can't even chase him.
Yucks Chinese New Year is coming. I hate Chinese New Year for the fact that nobody treats Christmas as importantly as CNY. The 2 should be equal. Like my uncle doesn't fly back to Singapore on Christmas, and all my cousins and close relatives fly to China to visit him during the Christmas season. But he flies back and everyone stays in Singapore on CNY. And then we have to go visit people who are so damn boring and its a waste of time. Shawn Koh's damn cool. He's flying away to Melbourne on the day before CNY. So is Julian Ho, to somewhere. Last year it was Hokkaido. This year? Thats the thing for us to do actually. Let's fly away during CNY since its normal to fly during Christmas and not celebrate it. And we put in the equality between the 2 occasions? And with CNY comes the bullshit about the year of the pig and who is going to have a good/lucky/unlucky/crappy year and all that stuff. Which is totally stupid, only for the minds that don't think. Old and traditional people, for example. It's affecting Ronald's supposedly "logical mind" too. He likes to say "HAHA I'm a tiger and you are a rooster so I can eat you up!" Oh please wake up we're humans not roosters or tigers or dragons or pigs or dog or monkey or whatever. Since when did we begin having water, earth, air, and don't know what dogs. We only have Schauzers and Beagles and Maltese and Shiztu and all the other proper breeds known to man. And dragons are extinct. I used to be fine with CNY until people like my relatives started forgetting Christmas and not celebrating it on the day itself and not treating it seriously.
China is full of shit. Celebrating New year on New years day and then again during Jan/Feb. Hello dude, please make up your mind... which calendar are you following? Maybe the people in China areolder than they think they are. Because they celebrate 2 new years from 2 different calendars, they should have 2 birthdays too right? One for each calendar.
And yes, I admit I'm biased once again.

Hahaha its the weekend again! Time passes real quick. Its 1.30am Saturday morning now.This week mostly sucked during school except for recess, after school and before school. The class is still the same as the start of the year. Just that I don't feel that they are beng. Just forever no heart to study. Which is kinda good actually, I like it. Hopefully they just fail, then I got less competition. All the assholes, bastards and bengs went to C band. So the class is decent but not smart and very lazy. Lessons are quite funny sometimes. We got like how many sick dudes in the class. Everyone's laughing a lot. And Samuel and I are always talking sick privately. Sitting in front really helps to concentrate I guess. It's easier to understand. Only Rama's class is screwed. He cannot teach for nuts. Should just go work at Mustafa Centre.
The hot topic:
Chemistry rocks. Seriously. Especially when you come to the topic of Ionic Bonding. So did Thursday after school. HAHAHA. The chemical equation in my notebook. Magnesium Sulphate. If only there wasn't the O4 then it would be perfect. But never mind lets just ignore that 4 parts of oxygen. Before Thursday, Magnesium Sulphate rocked. After that, omg for the rest of the day and the next morning I went nuts. Totally nuts and high. Hahaha even Jordan wasn't so obsessed(but he still joined my group anyway). And Shawn was like diaoed by what I said. Been ranting and ranting non-stop for 40 minutes on Friday about Magnesium Sulphate. But the blood pressure on the bus felt really good I must admit. You can feel the blood rising to your face. Maybe my face turned red for all I knew. In case you're wondering because this is an inside story, I did mention a certain magnesium sulphate somewhere last July. But just in different terms. Talk about being retarded :D
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday went to kap with patrick and joshua teo. Patrick is a good partner for study. He's good in A maths so that helps... and we seem to be able to talk a lot but yet complete a lot of work. So thats good, starfish. Haha and I like him for a reason too. Something he said today about discrimination of NY people. The best thing he's said so far and the way he said it was so straightforward.
Aloysius is beginning to become quite an ass. He is still a bit NSK-ish even though he's been in barker for a year now. He keeps telling me that chestnut drive sec and queensway sec and whatever sec is good. Everything also "your lan la...".. now thats being very disgusting. Luka(the spanish guy) is a bit irritating but not too bad. He just has an obsession with slapping my face lightly and also flicking my ear. And also always coming after me when Ezra gives me the wrong infomation to pass to him.
Replies to tags:
thx: i know that he is nice. still haven't talked to him yet. trying to make a personal record of not talking to a certain number of people in my class. haha i used upper jab on dennis that day because he was trying to grab me. take me to play with magnesium sulphate one day please!!!
weee!: i haven't confirmed yet. just toying with the idea. haha maybe i will, maybe i won't.
eeew: hi dude! dont be so creepy k?
kzh: GAH your eyes were closed. but ah who cares haha. hmm curry chicken on thursday was good.

Hello everyone! Third week of school is over.987 is getting addictive. Haha the songs that rock are:
The Heart Never Lies
Bleeding Love
Pictures of You
When I'm Gone
Haha its surprising that hero heroine managed to climb into top 5. Its a happy thing anyway!
Loner-ing rocks. But sometimes I feel quite guilty. Like I begin to talk to people around me and not concentrate when I'm supposed to be listening to the teacher as though she was the 987 DJ. So I guess towards the end of this week, I haven't really paid attention. But at least the mass of homework is completed everyday. Except for the 3 introduction paragraphs I was supposed to do and was made to write an essay on responsibility as punishment. If I pay a lot of attention in school I won't have the motivation to study. And I will only be hardworking at home if I don't pay attention in school. Can't get it on both sides.
On Thursday I was supposed to hand up history work to michelle wong. So after geog, ran to her classroom. Saw A2 inside. The front row was all my friends so I only let the front row see me. Zhong Han was sleeping, Julian and Ben Khoo were busy copying notes. Didn't dare to let everyone see me. Because I am inferior to them. Oh, but I like to add in the phrase "AT THE MOMENT". So I'm inferior to them AT THE MOMENT. I might try to appeal again in mid-year.
3B3 is beginning to get talkative. Not so good see? But I'm trying my best not to be so biased against them. Quite a few nice and pleasant dudes in class. Like this pleasant dude called Shawn Seah. He added me on friendster and he is from my class but the cool thing is we've never spoken a word! Haha that is just so amazing. So third week, I havent made any friends I guess. The difference is that people like this idiot called Li Hao keeps disturbing me. Don't like him one bit. I think he's one of those people that really belong to B band. Christian is nice haha. And I don't really like Chris Chan too. Go spread so many secrets. Really asking to be hated.
Geog teacher is NOT GOOD. Another Kok Yen Lee kind of teacher. Cannot teach, cannot control the class too sigh. We should all learn from our past experiences and know that we should write our own notes. Cannot rely on him. Don't wait till its too late then start studying. This Ramachandran told us 2 weeks ago that he taught a sec 4 class and they become very interested in geog after that. It's surely got to be bullshit.
This is weekend is supposed to be quite fun. As long as Dad keeps his promise, we shall go karting on Malaysia!
And after the weekend, hx is going to teach me some karate I hope! Right? Begin to hate those 4D1 people alot you know... but dont worry if you teach me I won't waste my energy on them either. Truth is I think it's quite cool to know a bit of karate. And fine you dont chop bricks into half.
News: (for the fun of it)
I've been thinking of getting somebody to start writing a column on my blog. Like the newspapers. I think it'll be quite cool. Then this place will be more interesting. At least there will be some really random topics.
Another idea is quite stupid sounding but it should be fun. It's like you send an email to me like you sms to 987 right, then can do a shoutout and a dedication. So I will write your message and get the song from imeem/youtube (this is where it becomes quite stupid) and post it here. Of course you can just go to youtube or something to get the song. But its just for the fun of it.
Too many tags for me to use the cbox so I decided to add it in my post.
nerine: hello nerine :D
gilda: I aimed for A1 and dropped. that was stupid... but never mind i'm inferior to A band only AT THE MOMENT.
weee!: friday was quite eventless haha. just sit there and talk. unlike you... get stared at by other people huh haha!
kzh: yay you tagged! not really la. someone is always downstairs making sure.
miin: hey miin!
thx: but you are qualified to teach me some moves right? the punch move is so ninja-like.
TYM: hmm lets wait till the pressure is off me first. maybe march or what. hopefully!

Last night went to grandmother's house as usual. Then was bored so we went to top up our ez-link and in the end we decided to drop by T3 for fun (and secretly) cos we were bored. So took mrt there 2 stops. It was quite crowded. Most people were visitors just looking around.
I got myself a Iced mocha from the coffee bean there. Partly because I think their cup looks nice and I'm addicted to these mocha and latte things now.
Today Ronald and I did some lame stuffs. Like throwing the toy cars down the window and calculating the distance from my house to the ground floor below. About 26-30m. And then we used the car below and threw it down a couple of times. From a car which was in a normal shape and a few scatches to this:
Totally destroyed. HAHA.
Then we wanted to try out this yellow car that had the roof "removed" by Ronald a few years ago. So this was the condition before we threw it down.
and after that, not much damage. partly because the roof was detached already. So nothing could really be broken anymore.
And then we wanted to throw this bus down too. So the bus was like this before.
And everything flew all over the place. We managed to find back these pieces.
And we threw it down the second time and the support there broke.
The bottom part of the bus cracked too.
Now for the dropping of the ball experiment we did yesterday. We basically threw my old soccer ball into the swimming pool and took a video. After a while got a bit tired of throwing stuff down. So we stopped. Anyway the rain started.

Hello everyone. The second week of school is over! And its the weekend so according to my self-imposed rules, I can use the com.Quickly enough for the tests and exams to come. The subjects have been very interesting and addictive except for A maths. Physics is the best. Like the part about calculating acceleration of a dropping object and all that.
I must say I'm pretty happy with myself for this week, the way I didn't use the com and didn't go out but went home and did homework ( although most of the time i was just day-dreaming away) but at least I don't feel guilty. I don't really dread school like I did last weekend thanks to the new method of "deceiving yourself" which works out better than I thought it would. School is really funny most of the time with Julian making the whole class laugh very hard in all lessons. We had this new student in class. He is spanish and his name is Luka. He's got an iphone! Ate lunch with him at waffletown on tuesday. But I still don't like my class. My point was given more evidence when John Chao came in on Thursday to do his "inspirational talk" (which totally isnt at all). He asked Christian what his goal/target was. And the answer: "To maintain and remain in B band". I was like omg what the hell in my head. Such LOW expectations.
Another thing I'm proud of is the fact that I only made 2 new friends this year out of my whole class. Which goes close enough to my plan of not making any friends this year and being anti-social. So I keep my conversations with the rest of the people in class to the minimum. Christian even asked me why I was so quiet in class. And that made me happy which shows that I'm being anti-social enough :D
My meeting with the principal. He was nice that day. All smiles and in a VERY good mood. So I realised that I didnt really have to be nervous. He even said that he was happy I made an appointment to see him. Though in the end, he told me I shouldn't take bio cos its useless, and that I should make new friends in B3 (which i obviously won't do).
And the thing that made my Monday totally? I wrote to 987 a shoutout cum song request, and Soo the 987 DJ actually read it out!!! Haha she said barker people were cool. Too bad she didn't play my song which was the heart never lies by mcfly. The strumming for that song is real nice. I got high the rest of the night. Actually sitting on the sofa and just listening to the radio is quite entertaining. Perhaps better than the TV.
"Deceiving Yourself"
I shall explain how the method works though it sounds lame. First, before school starts, I go and sit in the 3A2/3 line like I'm from there, and talk to Jordan, Julian, Zhong Han. When school is just about to start, I join the 3B3 line. And then during class, I just act like I'm in 2A3 but I'm just not sitting with the 3, instead, sitting with ezra, shawn or patrick. So during recess, I sit with Julian. After school, I specially wait for 66 instead of 171, 170 or 67 so that I can take bus with Jordan and then we talk alot on the way. Sometimes ( like thursday) I take mrt home with Zhong Han. And that, albeit sounding stupid, works to deceive myself. Plus, I talk on the phone at night with Yue ming. So that completes the whole bluff.
I've finished my post. Might post again tomorrow. Anyway, till the next time I post, bye!
P.S. Anti-Socialising and "Deceiving Yourself" has given me a good start to the year, as well as 987FM Shoutouts!
Thursday, January 03, 2008
I know I'm not supposed to be on the com now according to my rules but I have got a reason and I'll come to that later.School has been pretty torturing. Really. First day of school was just basically like slow death. I cried in class, when I saw jordan during recess, and when I was eating with Julian. OMG welcome to Emo world, Winston. But I was better after recess, life seemed to be nicer. After school I called Jordan to take bus home with me. I don't normally take 66 but I did anyway. Since I wanted to feel better. Teachers are fine though. But I'm really lonely in class. Only Patrick, Ezra, Shawn are like the more "with brains" kind. The rest, sigh. I keep thinking "how the hell I end up here" when in class. Everyone I see are like from B band classes since Day 1. Oh they must be feeling fine. But somebody in their class is in a state of depression. So yesterday I went home and started doing easy A maths simultaneous equations.
Today, second day of torture. And again I was self-reflecting. "How the hell I end up here". So anyway I started regretting not going to see Timothy Wong with my mum during the holidays to appeal a little. Julian SIEW came in for class today and it was more funny, though. But I still couldn't help feeling down. Again recess helped (i think its going to be this way for the rest of the year). I ate with Julian HO at cafe just like last year.
After school I went to KAP with Leon, Micah, Yue Ming, Michael and Julian Siew. Bad choice. Saw Darien there too with a Saint pokka-dot school girl. Leon and Micah were like so irritating and distracting. Kept making lots of noise. But (continued on Friday) they all wanted to go so I left too and Yue Ming came to my block's top floor to study with me. It was like so windy and no distractions. Everywhere you look, you see potted plants or other condos. So we managed to concentrate well. (Okay so here comes my reason.) And while taking my shower many things went through my head. I suddenly had this strong urge to not only WANT to go A band but to really be able to go A band and was thinking about the movie "Facing the Giants" which we watched in school today. And I kept thinking "What the hell am I doing in 3B3?", as usual... With brain-equipped people who only care about doing crap all day and not studying even when they know they are kind of dead. So I thought of all sorts of basis of appeal and decided to just try once more. Anyway I also remembered that I promised I would "go all out till the end" and decided to just keep my promise. Then I came out of the toilet and immediately turned on the com. Used email since my fax machine haven't set up yet and I don't want to wait until friday. So this is my email to Peter Tan.
Subject: Transfer to 3A2
Dear Mr. Peter Tan,
Principal of ACS (Barker Road),
I am currently in 3B3 and was inspired to write this letter of transfer after I heard your talk/movie this morning regarding the theme, "with God, nothing is impossible". And I thought to myself that perhaps you would transfer me to 3A2 so that I can take biology.
I have ambitions to be a medical doctor and biology is really crucial. I know that even if I don’t take biology for my 'O' levels, I can still take it for my 'A' levels. However, missing two years of biology would mean that I might not be able to catch up when I reach Pre-University.
My overall percentage for last year's examination is 66.4%. This is very close to the 67% of a former classmate of mine who went on to 3A3. If you would like to put me in 3A2 on a probation period until the Mid-Year examination, following which you may transfer me back to 3B3 if you think I am not making good progress, please do. I await your pleasant reply.
Yours faithfully,
Lee Jun Bin Winston
ACS (Barker Road)
Then my mum called me to go over to our China Student's house for dinner so I quickly sent the letter and went off. So I came home and checked my email. Saw Subject: Re: Transfer to 3A2. I was like very nervous. Anyway opened the email, omg! ( okay its not what you think) I didn't expect him to reply so early.
Winston, I am glad you were inspired, hopefully not just to write me butalso to put you heart into becoming the man that God wants you to be.
Taking Chemistry is more critical for you than Biology if you intend topursue a medical profession. I will confirm with HOD Science what therequirements are for students to do triple Science are.
Looking at your overall results, I would at first instance not recommendthis suggestion you made. I will be happy to meet you to help you set workable targets to work towards your goal. I am rather busy tomorrow afternoon but you can make an appointment with Mrs Campbell to see me next Tuesday afternoon.
God bless,
Peter Tan Chong Tze
Principal
Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road)

Today I went to make appointment with Mrs Campbell already. Tuesday 3pm. Guess if I don't succeed again this time because I'm not "recommended to take bio", I'll just tell him the real point and ask about going to 3A3 since well, its geog class. Teachers came in and introduced themselves today as well. I think the most hopeless one is E maths cos we got lionel syn and everyone says he is just about Kok yen lee which is like sure fail.
Took bus home with Jordan again. Really miss the 2A3 people! Going to swissotel to visit uncle who came back from shanghai for business trip tonight. Looking forward to some undepressing time the next few days after the totally miserable week.
Oh well, enough for today. Bye.

Hahaha the blog post that comes just before school reopens.Not really dreading school but not very excited too. I decided that since I didn't do shoutouts, maybe I'll just name the people from 2A3 2007 who would see their names if I did shoutouts. And some are the names of those few whom I will miss next year since they aren't in my class anymore. Alphabetical order:
Ben Khoo
Brandon
Ezra
Leon
Julian
Jordan
Shawn
Yue Ming
Zhong Han
Oh well hopefully we all get into the same class again in 2009.
Today marks the completion of the things I've always wanted to do with the exception of writing my book, creating a movie and composing a song. I went to do panning shots on cars today. The aim is basically to make the background blur while the object ( in this case the car) is clear and sharp. So thats the last thing completed on my list of "things I want to do during this Dec 2007 holiday". It's been the best holiday so far I suppose, since very little time has been spent on the com, time spent mostly on outings and I'm proud of it.
Lots to catch up in school tomorrow. Hopefully Graham Whiteley is our form teacher again. That'll be a great start to the school year.
Till the next time, bye!
* happy new year *
I know everyone is doing shoutouts but I decided to make it more general in case I say something wrong.New Year to everyone! I hope 2007 has been worthy to be classified as a "good year" and that 2008 will be even better for you all! Hopefully everything that we've hoped for will come true for each and everyone of us. Especially to those who have been really nice to me( you know who you are).
Today was full day out for me. Starting with breakfast with Julian at the coffee bean (im addicted to latte/mocha frappe and wanted to try theirs), followed by car hunting and then meeting Shawn koh they all at Plaza Sing, number 2 on the "unrefined shopping centre in town" list, the first being Orchard Cineleisure. Okay you guys know what I mean, I hope. Holiday's come to an end. I guess its been a well-spent one, since it's not computer time for most of the holidays. And I've got rid of the computer addiction. Well, most. the next one that I've got to force down to just Saturday and Sunday for 3 hours each time is blogging and friendster. At least it's not games :D The last day of holiday was made worth too.
New year target ( bear in mind I made this up by myself, no parents involved):
1. Blog only during the weekends, no computer on weekdays.
2.Putting my brains to good use and hopefully get to the A band which will put an end to my image which currently depicts stupidity and brainlessness.
Thats all. Have a great year ahead! Good night its 3.32am.
