pas du tout

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Hmm, its beeeeeeen quite some time since i last blogged. Sorry people.

Alright, i'm feeling really tired and fatigue now. The last time i slept till late into the morning (like 10am) was probably 3 saturdays ago. Oh man... And i've been sleeping at around 12plus am for the past few nights. Studying :) And maybe i'm gonna wake up at 5.30am tml and do a short jog around the neighbourhood. Gotta keep fit! Dun wanna fall sick!!

Anyway, school's been pretty okay for the past few days. Either its no homework or little homework. But there's maths test almost everyday for this week. And its chemistry tests almost everyday for next week. Yikes! And my class is super slack. Really. Everyone still in play-play mood. Haha. So pro sia.

Today's PSE lesson was in the PAC. Had a talk by a Buddhist monk as part of our RME program to learn more about other religions. And erm, the talk was quite boring (no offence here). And, i erm, slept a bit. And snored some more. Ooops! And Ying Lun's shoe was damn smelly, i dunno why. Then Zi Xiang, Ming and Kevin keep laughing for some unknown reason. wtf man. hahaahah. After school, headed down to Lido with Ming, Ying, Jun Jie and Ting Soon to study. Managed to study a bit. But was quite noisy. Oh well...

Oh yeah... i love my hoodies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's super hot, i tell you. YEah man. Got it on tuesday at Queensway. Went with mum. Looked around at other shops. Some of them had designs, which were pretty cool. But i wanted a plain one. So, in the end, bought this plain black hoodies. For $40. Mum bargained :D Alright man, Kevin is getting people to bring their jacket/hoodies on monday. And we're gonna have a hoodies parade! Haha! (hopefully it rains on that day)

Alright... Pictures!

Retarded Ming! He was doing some eye relaxation eye exercise. Like, what the hell....

Ying Lun being Ming's dog. Haha!

Kevin's retarded smile! haha

Some gay crap in class

Okay, the next few are pictures of a house that i'm so totally in love with. Its super huge and really nice. It's my dad's boss's house and he rents it out to this ang moh family, who're expats. And sometimes my dad's boss would ask my dad to go and fix some stuff in the house. I LOVE THIS HOUSE!

Daddy don't slack!

And some more... My dad say his boss's house is about twice as big as this house. OMGOSH lah!!

Yeah, i think i need to stop here. And i think i'll start blogging weekly. So don't bother coming here on weekdays, unless you've really got nothing to do.

Hooked onto this song. 4 words (to choke upon) by Bullet For My Valentine. i love this band. their music. guitar solos. excellent drummer. And their dark romantic lyrics

Chorus:

Too many times i've seen it
Rip a hole into our friendship
This is how it's been, how it always will be
You think you're above (you think you're above me)
But now i need to end this
4 words to choke upon

LOOK AT ME NOW!!!!

(not referring to anyone here, haha)

Renaissance Concert last night was great!!! Really enjoyed myself.

in the toilet. And Daryl was cleaning his face! Haha!

HAHA! Sec1s damn stupid sia. Like, who the hell wears their school uniform to a concert??

Reading newspaper before the concert started. Lol. Ying Lun in the background

This's the concert hall. After everything had ended. And the band were still seated, waiting for people to shout encore. But nobody did :(

And OH MY GOSH.... mr Sirhan plays bass too!!

So, after everything ended, we (daryl, shawn, ying lun & i) met up with thaddeus. Supposed to go out with Belmond and Wei Jin, but i think Belmond went out with his LLTC gang or something. And Wei Jin went lost.

Ohh, the funny thing was, Thaddeus, Belmond and Wei Jin, wore exactly the same clothes -- Long sleeve black shirt and jeans. Haha! And what's worst is that 3 of them were sitting together. haha

Then in the end we didn't go out. Took a bus that Thaddeus & Daryl didn't know where it went to. So me, being kind hearted (che che), alighted with them at clementi there and taught them how to walk to the mrt station :D

Took bus 963 home, reached home at 11-plus pm, freaking dead tired. Slept outside on the sofa in the living room. Yeah man, i love it there. Cuz it's much cooler and it's like i have the whole house to myself. Haha. And i can also cry myself to sleep

Today was alright. Church was great. Played my heart during worship. Nice to play beside Joshua. He's probably the best drummer i'll ever play with in a band.

And this is my sexy blister i got on my left index finger. Whoo-hoo!

And youth session was a Q&A with the speaker, mr Lim Chien Chong, from SYFC. And he's super funny, telling lame jokes and all.

" You don't go to a fruit stall and i ask for a banana by saying ' 1 barium and 2 sodium ', right? "

We looked stunned.

" You know barium is Ba, sodium is Na. Yah, 1Ba and 2Na is BaNaNa. "

OMGOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN LAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAAHAAHA!!!

Haha. Jokes aside, learned a couple of things. About God's will. Yeah.

Had lunch and came home. Boo, mummy didn't bring me to Queensway to buy the jacket that i want. Then she told me that she'll give me money and ask me to go buy it myself. Oh well, at least i'll still get it :D

Humans tuition today totally sucks. First, i was super-duper late cuz i overslept. And did SBQ for the entire lesson. And i totally forgot to do my homework :( Sorry teacher! And what's worst was, i kinda had a slight sinus, and.... the SBQ was so freaking damn hard!!!!!!!! Argh... i dunno how to lor. Kept stoning. Oh man, about a month to Prelims and i still have not master SBQ :(((
Well, at least my SEQ and geog can help. Phew

Ah, there's English supervise afternoon study tml. And gonna meet up with Benedict after that and head down together to chem. tuition where we'll usually make the teacher kinda pissed, or happy, with our incessant talking and lame jokes. Haha!!

Hmm, gotta go study now. Didn't study any shit this whole weekend!! BOO!!! A.Maths test tml!!!!!!

Today is 20/07/2007

A c00l date. Hmm, so i decided to blogged.... though i don't have many things to say about....

Alright, school was okay today. Was kinda sleeeeepy.

After school, went out with Ying Lun, Jun Jie & Ting Soon to study. But we didn't lah. Ate at KFC at Lido. Headed down to Library @ Orchard but it was packed. Couldn't find a place. So, in the end, we were just browsing through the books and find some interesting stuffs to read. They borrowed some books. Then we were like no more mood to study le. Then we went down to Kinokuniya (is this how you spell?) And browsed through the thousands and millions of books there. Yeah. Didn't study much today. Boo!

And my thumb is THE SEX :D

Hmm, talking about piano... The Grade 8 pieces are so hard!!!!!!!!! Especially the first piece. The first 2 pages of the 1st piece can't even play through it smoothly lah..... :(

No, i must persevere!! And practice hard! =)

Renaissance Concert tml!!! Yippeee!! And oh gosh, its the 3rd straight saturday that i'm going out till night.... i'm so gonna get shagged tml

Thursday, 19 July 2007, 10:28 pm

Alright, finally found the time to update. It's been such a long time since my last post. Hmm, quite a number of things to update about....

Chinese Listening Compre. was on monday. it was alright. i was sitting right in front of the radio and it was a good thing. But then, the people at the back keep asking the teacher to turn up the volume, so, the radio kinda blasted repeatedly at me. Haha.

Hmm, English Prelim Oral was on wednesday. While waiting for my turn, i was quite concerned about thge conversationpart. So i asked Daryl about it. The opinion part.

Me: " What if they give a sentence and ask for your opinion leh? Say what ar? For example, ' Some people are born leaders, while others are born to be led (lead) '. How leh? "

Daryl: " Dunno. Just say your own opinion lah. Then say some people are born magnesium, others born as sodium.... "

ROFLMAO!!!! FREAKING LAME !!!

Anyways, the oral was okay. But I don't think i did really well. i thought my reading was quite alright. But Mr Ghazali gave me at lot of =( and : faces. Which ain't really good. At least my picture and conversation was not bad lah... Oh well...

Okay... Went out last saturday to celebrate Ming, a.k.a. the-pea-brained-giant, and my birthday.

This is pea-brained-giant. Being stupid here. Haha!!

Met up with Daryl in Cine. earlier to buy the movie tickets. After buying the tickets, we went to the entrance and waited. And there was this stall that sold Japanese ice-cream but it wasn't open. The funny thing was... The freezer which contained all the ice-cream wasn't locked!! Haha. So people can just kope the ice-cream lor. But, we being Josephians and Men of Integrity (yeah right), we didn't steal the ice-cream, though it looked really really tempting. Haha.

Then, we met up with Jun Jie, Ming and Ying and ate cheap cheap food at the food court in cine.

Next, we walked to Meridien. Met up with Ting Soon there. We played CS at the LAN Shop. Which was really stupid cuz the mouse there sux and the CS version was pretty old.

After that, we went to play pool. Whee... So fun. i think i won 1 or 2 games. i was playing at the noob table. Yeah, i'm a pool noobie. haha. Then Zi Xiang the slut came and we rushed all the way back to Cine. just in time to buy popcorn, drinks and nachos and caught Transformers.

Yup, it was a pretty good movie. The CGI and special effects was really good. That's cuz Steven Speilberg is the executive producer. The plot was rather simple but still quite interesting. Autobots and Decepticons!! Haha.

Hmm, about movies... The Simpsons! Coming out on 26/7! YAy!! And i also wanna watch Paprika and Invisible Target!!

So, after the movie, we headed down ot Marina Square. Zi xiang and ting soon couldn't join us. Slut said he'll be back home for dinner. While someone stole $10 from Ting Soon. Maybe the Duracell Bunny stole it to buy more batteries. Haha!!

Then we met up with Shawn at Marina Square. Oh man, he waited for us there for an hour! Sorry!!

Then we ate at Yuki Yaki. Buffet dinner. It was.... Quite okay. But i wasn't extremely bloated at the end of it. What's worst was that we could only stay inside for 2 hours. But i thought its a buffet.....?? Argh, anyway, there weren't much choices though.

(Jun Jie, you're my da-jie's eye candy... hehe)

This was the grill after only 15 minutes... i think we added too much butter.

And as usual, the-pea-brained-giant would do a lot of stupid things... Such as....

Frying a piece of beef till it became charcoal

Frying chopsticks

Wrapping a chicken with tissue paper and then frying it'

Lame shit sia...

So after dinner, Ming suggested playing LAN. Oh my gosh... Like who the hell plays LAN at 10pm ????

So, damn sian lah. We walked around trying to find a bus stop that has a bus that could bring us to Paradiz...

Meanwhile, we walked past our old school compound!! All hail Saint John Baptist de la Salle! Haha!

Yeah, so we played LAN at Paradiz till about 11pm. Caught the bus 190 at about 11.20pm. And then managed to catch the last bus of 963. Phew....!! Was really lucky.

Reached home at around 12.10am. Not bad, earlier than last time. Then bathe, stoned and started daydreaming. Wasn't really tired that night. Beats me why.

Anyway, thanks people, for going out. Having fun together. Haha.

Looking forward to this saturday's Renaissance Concert!!

Sweet Sixteen

it feels so good to be sixteen. Finally. Haha. And i shall now start behaving & think like a sixteen year old.

Hmm, how do sixteen year olds behave and think?

" Learn from thy master "

Haha. Alright, enough of all the crap. i've been really crappy and lame in class for the past few days. i don't know why. i also dun really feel tired even though i'm sleeping at 12plus am.

Hmm, oh yeah, i got a new routine from mondays to wednesdays... i'll study from 8plus till 12am. And then... ANIME TIME!! Jigoku Shouju! Haha.

But i don't have the motivation to study in the afternoon lah. i'll just laze around when i reach home. Hmm, maybe i should study outside? But it sucks studying alone :(

And yeah, i got my hair cut yesterday. The sides are really short, the back is just nice, and my fringe is still the same length. (i hope i dun look emo!). Maybe i should dye the centre part of my hair white. So that it'll look like a skunk. Right, Daryl?

Okay, anyway... i shall now reflect on the past 16 years of my life. (and yes, the consciousness examen). Haha.

The past 16 years have been quite smooth sailing. Not much Ups and Downs. And i must say that i'm really fortunate to be alive, to be here, to be living in this country. As compared to other people around the world, who live in poverty, no food, no water, no hope. So, yeah, really thankful and grateful to God.

And i feel very blessed to be in my family. My dad, though he doesn't really talk much. But he cares for me. And works hard too. Even on saturdays. And his lame jokes. Oh my gosh. Freaking lame!! Haha!

My mum. I love my mum. Her care and concern. Though i have made her angry sometimes through one way or another, she is still very forgiving and loving. And she would also help me in my maths and chemistry problems. i love you, Mum!

Da-jie!! Haha. Control freak! Haha. But i know that's cuz you care for me. You're also my role model. So hardworking. So disciplined. i look up to you. And you also help me in my school homework and guide me in other problems.

Sarah! All our lame jokes and crap. And i hope that i didn't teach you any wrong things... (yikes!) Yeah, i want to be a better brother. Someone that you can look up to. Someone whom you can confide your problems in. And did i forget to mention that you bear a slight resemblance to Jessica Liu with your new hairstyle? Haha.

Hmm... Not to forget my friends too! My friends that i've made over the years. In church. In primary school. In SJI.

And my 2 brudders. Jeremy and Daryl. Daryl and Jeremy. (being fair here :D) Yup, thanks for everything. The lame jokes. The crap. Getting into trouble. Helping each other. Yeah, thanks a lot.

Alright man... This sounds like i'm gonna die or something. Like this is my last post before i leave this earth. Haha.

Oh well... 45 more days to Prelims!!!

Tuesday, 10 July 2007, 4:25 pm

200th POST ! ! ! ! !

Haha. Yup, this is the 200th post in 16 months of blogging. And i'll shall start the next centruy of post in a joyous mood. Alright Belmond, NO more emo blogging. Haha.

i actually wanted to post this on saturday. Which is the 7th day of the 7th month of the 7th year in the millienium, on the 7th second of the th minute of the 7th hour of that day. But i was busy. So i decided to post it on the last day that i'm a 15 year old!!!

.... Let's see...

Last thursday was Chinese O level Oral. It was quite alright. i was the first one of the 2nd group. Daryl so suay sia, he's the last one of the first group even though his register number is one before mine. Haha.

Okay, i was pretty nervous. But manage to keep my nerves. The passage reading was quite difficult though. Couldn't read a couple of words. The conversation was about Singaporeans not exercising. DAMN EASY!!! And it was sooo simple that i got stunned. Haha. Anyway, yeah, it was pretty alright. AND IT IS FINALLY OVER!!! YAY!!

Saturday was really fun. Met up with Belmond and Wesley at City Hall and Wesley brought us to the Pacific Coffee Company. And i totally LOVE it. i drank their coffee in Hong Kong and it rocks. i thought Singapore don't have but then... Yay. Thanks, Wesley. Haha. Bought a cup of Cafe Latte which costs $5.50 (yikes!) Yup, its damn damn nice. The place was also quite cosy and its really cold. Studied quite a bit. Oh yeah, and Wesley kinda suck in Scissors-paper-stone. HAhA!

Pacific Coffee Company!!

Belmond & Wesley

After studying there for about 2 and a half hours, we headed down to Dhoby Ghaut and met up with Thaddeus. We went to Meridien and wanted to play pool but it was totally packed. So, we walked all the way to Paradiz. Ohh man, the pool table there totally sucks. So, in the end, Wesley & i went to the LAN shop. And damnit, Wesley, you keep owning me in Ffia '07 and CS!! NO Fair!!

There was also the 155th Annual Parade in school. i decided to go and watch it cuz its my last year here in SJI and a lot of my friends are passing out. So... Yeah, went down to support them.

Hmm, we were gonna be really late cuz we left the place at 5.30pm so we took a cab down to school. And Thaddeus so lame sia, in the taxi also want to camwhore. haha. And he'll always make sure that his face is in the picture.

Wesley & Thaddeus

Thaddeus: " See Belmond so fat, bigger than the chair. "

Good thing we reached school before the Annual Parade started. Phew...

Here are the pictures...

First up was the band... Playing a couple of songs and Drum Major Ian displaying his throwing skills.
