Best Friends.

Today's lesson was a relatively good day... Did pretty good PPT, with joyhan, sean, lucien. Good job, guys...

After lessons, walked home with her... As usual, felt really at ease just being with her... Sadly, somethings were said, and now, i realise, i can't be anything more than just a close friend... But if that is what she want, then i have to respect that...



Anyways, sean and some of the bro were laughing at my msn nick, which was meant for her... "Vivo per lei da quandro sai" which means "I live for her since i found her for the first time"


But anyways, the original song behind that nick, Vivo Per Lei, by Andrea Bocelli, is awesome.. found a vid on it where he dueted with Hayley Westenra,who sang in english mostly.

currently waiting patiently in the library... for some IG event to be done... =D

Sorry, bros, that i abandoned you guys (even though you guys were the ones who forced me to -.-)


Waiting~ waiting~ waiting~ it's all worth it... =)

Hmm...

Pretty much has happened since last post... mostly just nonsense about lessons...

Got out of retirement to play Warcraft III. So many games to play with people in class recently... CS, WC3, PES09...

Had cogni yesterday... just had no mood to do la.. slack... then today, comm.. the stupid nenie bitch gave me D for last week... how can sia... just feel so tempted to not come. to leave now (7:44am) before anyone come in and see me.

argh... -.-


Anyway, recently, i have been entranced by the voice of Andrea Bocelli, world renowned Italian Tenor. He rocks, man... woo...

Home.

Home, according to dictionary.com, is "any place of residence or refuge".

Home, according to me, is "hell. The place where loneliness is amplified."


There is a reason why i come to school 2 hours early and go home as late as possible. The reason is simple. I hate being at home. What is there for me to look forward to at home? Rest? Nope. I can rest equally well anywhere. Company? Hell no. My parents and my sisters basically leave me alone all the time since they know i hate them. My brother, the only person i respect in the family, is pretty much out all the time, because he, too, cannot stand being at home.

For me, my real home is at RP. my second home is here. I just hate it here. Because i always feel so lonely, so cooped up... To those people who know the happy-go-lucky me from school, this is like the total opposite.

Holidays, please, be gone.

Good day.

From the moment Joseph walked into the class today instead of Rick, i had a pretty good feeling it was gonna be a good day.

A) I racked up another win in the W45H Winning Eleven League to retain my third position. (Yes, W45H-ians call me jimmy)B) More people got into the CS matches. Joyhan, Indah, Sean, Adam and I had fun blasting each other today... though it was mainly bro sean blasting us... -.-

and...

C) for 3rd day in a row, WeiLiang aka william, Adam and I went to xbox room after class for WE matches or Fifa matches. Joy didnt go, so too bad. Out of 4 matches, i won 3. 2-0 5-0 3-0. William won 1, 2-0... though he blames it on the Wii girls and the librarian...

D) AS USUAL, Adam is sibeh lame. Make sean, william and i laugh on the way to cwp till we nearly crapped our pants. lame jokes abt Shaolin soccer there,adam.. -.-

*smile*

Urgh

just like brother sean, us DIT students are having difficulties coping with what modules to take for year 2. Some other courses like DBC, that adam is taking, only got 2 choices, so quite straight forward, though lack of choices la... but us DIT people have like... i estimate something like 40 over ba... it's a tough choice man...

I wanna take Networking as my specialization... but the recommended one doesnt have Sales management as elective, which i do want...

The best so far i think is
"Recommended for DIT Networking Specialization + Marketing as Elective"
OR
"Recommended for DIT Wireless Specialization + Sales Management as Elective"

IT security specialization is out for me, because i feel that one like.. no hope la... not as in, im too lousy, as in the course too sian...

Really dunno how to choose leh... someone give me a sign... felix lee, hurry up and send us a sign...

High/Low day...

What an odd day.

I started off today, 17/11/08, in the worse possible mood. I was sick, i was tired. and i was bored of RP life... doing the same god damn thing day after day after day, can be bloody tedious. i was ready to call it quits and go home.

But for some bizzare reason, after i took joyce's panadol, i became bloody crazily high. laughing at small things. blah blah blah.

and the peak came at 2nd break, when me and sean played WE, omg man... best match of my life EVER, literally had me gasping for breath, especially with the "2 minutes till penalty henry goal" omg man... lol

The lack of a purpose.

Throughout my life, i have, on many many occasions, felt worthless, as though my existence was pointless. Today, however, was possible THE day when everything that i have felt was confirmed. i AM worthless.

I couldnt do anything at all today. I sat and watched in amazement at my teamamtes as joyhan explained the theory of the problem to them, and as i listened, i realised, i couldn't understand him.

Resigned to the fact that i couldnt understand others, i took out my pen and paper and tried to work it out on my own. But i failed to do so, time and time again.

In the end, all i had to present was the flowchart. THE FLOWCHART! It's like going up there and saying "good afternoon, we're team 4, and today's problem is blah blah blah." and then, the end. Sure, it seemed funny at first, but it really kinda sucks knowing that you can't do anything. Especially because i was a team-transfer. on team-transfer days, i always feel a need to do better, but i sucked. and let down the people who wanted me there.

I think shi min took pity on me and gave me a small calculation segment, and i thank her for that. I hope that one day, i might be able to redeem myself, but right now, sorry shi min, lucien, wei liang and elaine.

Wondrous, the effects a 15 minute walk can have one me.

Cheered up.

Almost back to normal, save for some slight sickness, and if jeremy keeps it up, i will go on being sick for quite some time. Drink cough syrup by the bottles, jeremy. =D

Double oh seven.

Went to watch Quantum of Solace with my friends. It was semi-decent. Basically, it has all the characteristics of a james bond film. Rooftop scenes, chase scenes, love scenes and the oh-so-typical "spotlight on him, swivel and shoot the audience" scene.

We also celebrated irv's birthday, happy birthday bro.

Dead exhausted. 3:37am... downloading doom 3, sean's recommendation.. hope it'll be good... also, going to cut my hair when i wake up later... its so long that it's become like a heat trap, microwaving my brain slowly.

Barack Obama

Today is one of the proudest day of my life, and the strange thing is that, whatever happened has nothing or little to do with me. Today is the day that Democrat Barack Obama became president of the USA. Even to those who know me to the core, not many will know that i have followed this campaign so closely, the rivalry between Obama and McCain, Biden and Palin was simply too exciting. I had goosebumps run through me as i listened to Barack Obama's wonderful Presidential Speech.

Here are some of my favourite quotes from it.

"Its the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America." -Addressing the unity of the nation with such a powerful statement, including everyone in it.

"Its been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America." -Acknowledges his creed of changing America, unlike what McCain would have done.

"I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nations next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy thats coming with us to the White House. And while shes no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics - you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what youve sacrificed to get it done.

But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you." -A long part, thanking everyone, his wife, his children, his campaign staff and most importantly, the citizens of USA.

"It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generations apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth. This is your victory." -Acknowledging the efforts of Democrats.

"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America - I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you - we as a people will get there." - His aim and target as the next POTUS.

"And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn - I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too." -Winning over the people who does not believe in him.

"And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world - our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down - we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security - we support you. And to all those who have wondered if Americas beacon still burns as bright - tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope." -Acknowledging us, overseas folks, warning terrorists, offering aids to the good people.

"Yes We Can!" -His oh-so-simple creed yet so deeply affecting that it makes me wanna shout with the crowd.


As a person who has studied most of the speeches and 2 of the debates, all i can say that this is a deserved victory for Barack Obama, who won by a landslide. And i have a suspicion, that if Obama were white, the results would have been sealed up much earlier in the day.

Yes We Can!

Carlos santana and Chad Kroeger

Thanks to the both of them, i have managed to feel abit more upbeat, from their awesome song "Into the night" which is my blog song at this moment. it's really a good song, in my opinion...

Anyways, i realised, there is no point dwelling on it. I'll pick myself up, i'll move on, life might suck, but it has to go on, right? =D

I'm sick of it. I thought luck and chance was like a 50-50 kinda thing? Why is it that when it comes to my turn, luck and chance seems to go 99-1 against me? I am so sick of it.

I always do the wrong move at the wrong time. When im supposed to be serious (aka presentation time), i screw it up. When i'm supposed to mess up, i get too serious!

I always say things without thinking, resulting in disastrous consequences.

Even when i admitted to the girl of my dreams my feelings for her, i did so without thinking. Did i think about my chances? Did i think if she would like me? No. I just blurted it out like a god damned moron.

William and I had a good talk today which made me realise that maybe im not alone in my misfortune. Thank you, bro.

And sean, bro, if ure reading this, i really envy you, man. Not everyone can be so loved. Have a good wedding, pal.

Hey, hey yo, rappin' by the road!

Last night, went out with my bros from sec sch, kennie, irv, and kai. yong wei came too... We went to watch a movie called Lakeside Terrace. or is it lakeview terrace? cant remember la.

Kai wen was the one who organised the whole thing and he told me that the movie was an action movie.......... right......... except for the last 3 minutes, there was no action at all.... which led me and kai to say that "if this was a secondary school composition, teacher will confirm say it's out of point."

As an action movie, it sucked. but if you look at it as a kind of... weird psychotic neighbour kinda thing, then i actually quite like it.

We had a blast after the movie, teasin kai about his new gf... And me and kennie, we sang both our sec school songs as loudly as we could outside golden village for all to hear. i can still remember it word for word.

School rally song.: (sung during celebrations)
Come my brothers and sisters of yishun town,
with one voice, oh let us sing,
to keep our flags and colours flying high,
we pledge to make this our destiny.

Though the storms and trials of life may come as we strive towards our goals,
may the light of our spirit shine through.
we'll excel in heart body mind and soul.

yishun town, let this be our gift to you,
as we stand tall to face the challenge,
let all around us hear our cry as we shout,
WE WILL EXCEL
WE WILL EXCEL.

School song: (sung during assembly twice a week)
Together in work and in play,
in all our endeavours,
onward we shall go.

With a zeal to learn, and eagerness to serve
and a tenacity of purpose,
show our love and loyalty to country and school,
let's aspire to greater heights in all we do

onward onward we shall go,
yishun town will excel
onward onward we shall go
yishun town will excel.


*cough cough* so anyway.... as i was saying before i got to carried away, kennie and i promptly stuffed ourselves with double cheese burgers, so much to the point that when i woke up this morning, i felt like i was suffering from some kind of cheese burger hangover or something...

it was a great night. To the Bros of Yishun town sec sch, we who stuck together through all the shit and stuff, even when one of us was in the hosp, even when mr ong gave us shit and for all the terrible late nights in the DNT studio, we rock!
