Damn Infuriated today.
And it's just not the anger mounting within me.
It's the disappointment.
Someone who I respected (which is why I will not name names)
(And whom I told I wanted to pursue History)
Told me that History was a crap subject.
...
Not surprised,
since he told me that
the only job I could pursue
was a curator.
Come on!
Fine, he is successful in his own field (which I will name)
but it's not how one should put another field down.
History is pursued by passion.
People are driven by their love to take such a subject.
It is true that the future looks bleak.
But who can say they are taking something they really enjoy?
Which reminds me.
His field is full of people
who hate their jobs.
The tiring and boring and horribly mundane
9 to 5 job
with the routine and schedules
How fruitful can their jobs be?
They hate it
and only love what riches the job will bring to them.
The power when with rich people.
But what kind of lifestyle is that?
Hypocritical?
Well, what to do?
He is afterall someone I respect.
So I shan't rant anymore.

Shawn ends this post.
Disappointed.
=(




Woah.
I'm updating everyday.
Today went swimming with Leonard.
He was a good swimmer.
And so happen that it was raining
so everyone left
leaving just me and him
in the pool.
Haha.
Fun though!
I swam 1.6km today.
Hopefully, it will burn off something.
=D

OMG, I had so much fun today!

Finally fulfilled the promised to Tan Sally to go to East Coast Park to cycle.
We were discussing with Keller in the morning about the party tomorrow.
Then Sally and I had already planned this.
And she insisted only TWO people.
So awkward and ps to Keller...


Anyway, we left to continue with our long and arduous journey to the East.
Super long trip to this almost "ulu" place.
Cycling cycling cycling
Can't believe I decided to do this!
After like a hiatus of a month of intense exercise.
We also decided to take a picture at every zone!
So tada!
Here they are!
From C, we cycled all the way
to the site of the hellish sec 2 camp
and took a picture.
Looks like a prison.
Lol.
I'm biased.








































































































































































































































































































































































































































































Then on our return trip, she treated me ice cream (Compass point B1).
Thanks Sally for the delicious treat!
(Haha, in exchange for my treat.)
However, still damn PS leh...











































































And we saw two aunties in the arcade
playing the sweet thingy.
OMG.
Bags of sweets, tidbits and toys.
Woah, now the aunties also like to go arcade.
:O

So today was
A wonderful day!
Now I am Damn happy!
=)
And looking forward to tomorrow!
Time to cut some slack before the school term starts!
Finally going to see all the "long-lost" friends!
And going to swimming with leonard!
Finally can cut down some weight!
=D

Shawn ends this post jubilant!

NOTE BEFORE POST: Hang Siang is planning to go visit Ms Fernandez (next Wednesday but not confirmed). I suppose after getting your distinctions, it's probably great to visit her.
Talk to Hang Siang if you want to see her.
And also tell her the school you will be going.


Haha, yesterday was awesome~ Nobel and I bought some chocolates for the teachers, so we went around to give it to the coolest and awesome-most teachers ever!
It was all worth it.
Haha, looking at how happy the teachers were, I suppose it was all worth it! XD
I suppose appreciation may come in different ways.
However, it's always good to go give thanks
to the super duper awesome-mess teachers!

Then we thought:
OMG. Ms Fernandez and Ms Thian.
Haha, we actually went all the way to Jurong (National Institute of Education)!
Cool~
Nobel, moi, Joseph and Leonard set off at like 0950.
Then we reached Boon Lay at 1130.
Haha, reminds me of what Ms Fernandez was telling me.
"Isn't ntu like damn far from where you are"
"Nowhere is far in Singapore"
"Haha, funny boys"
Reminds me of our days in Catholic High School when she was teaching us.
The best teacher
Who won the President Teachers Award.
Yay!
Then we were like totally lost in NIE.
Block 3.
Then we discovered that Ms Fernandez was in Block 2!
We climbed this super-duper ____ing long stairs.
110 steps (Not 103, Ms Fernandez! Haha. We counted it!)


We met her shortly after getting lost.
She let us to her new office.
Beat that: OFFICE.
Not space.
COOL~
Catholic High teachers will be super duper envious.
Then Nobel was making comments about the length of the names.
Something about getting the PTA allows you to get a longer print outside the room.
Lol.
We gave her the present
and Joseph and Leonard gave her the donuts they bought for her.
Which she knocked on everyone's door and offered one.
Nice right?
Ya, that's Ms Fernandez for you.
A totally awesome teacher.
Then, we noticed that
Leonard's aunty
Mdm Sally Jones (I still remember the name)
Was actually a neighbour of Ms Fernandez in NTU.
Talk about coincidence!

OMG.

City hall is ____ing crowded.

I was like on the MRT

Then suddenly got this old lady just cut into the crowd and like so rudely, and abruptly!

Irritating!

____!

Oh ya, I was like contemplating about the Reserved Seat thingy.

Kinda ____, that people avoid that seat and sits on the next seat.

Is that the whole point?

The point is that the reserved seat is meant for the person to be more aware and let his/her seat to the elderly/the people who neeed it.

Come on.

What's the point of it?

Anyway, love Ben and Jerry's Ice cream.

Haha.

Monday, January 18, 2010

Hmm thus morning was totally hectic for me.
At 12 pm, I was talking to duogeng and nobel about where to go.
Oh my god, we spent like 1 hour just coming with a place.
Lol.
Then we decide to go to Udders at Novena for ice cream. (OMG, I'm growing super fat now)
Then I decided to go see Ms Lie (My Physics Teacher) to say thanks before going.
I timed it nicely.
IRIS: 9 Minutes till 163 arrives.
Okay. I have 9 minutes. I said goodbye, shut my comp, and leave.
I was in the lift.
Then a thought went through my mind.
____, I forgot to bring the two storybooks (one was overdue!)
Gonna screw up the timing.
I decided to rush up. Still got time.
I forgot I've got the keys, and rang the doorbell frantically.
No one came to the door.
I was like: OMG, open the door.
I forgot I got the keys.
I totally screwed it all up.
I ran/walk to the busstop to wait.
Luckily, I was only late for a minute.
I was like thinking: Lucky me~ Almost missed the bus.
10 Minutes passed.
Oh ____, I missed the bus.
I was like cursing for the bus to come. (Of course, it wansn't its fault.)
I was like damn frantic on this hectic day.
The bus arrived, and thank god everything then on ran smoothly.
Luckily.
The ice cream - not too bad!
Price was reasonable too!
Just that I didn't really like the chocolate one - the aftertaste was bitter~ bleh~
We then walked all around United Square.
Gossiping.
About _____ ___ __ and ____.
Well, there're some things I have to censor off.
Went to bishan's arcade.
Played daytona. (Woots~ technically speaking won to dogen but lost to nobel~)
Played mario karts (Which FYI was this game that the car was out of control even when it's not!)
Played the basketball game (OMG, First time reach 520! >.<) Meeting Nobel tomorrow to get some gifts for the teachers. Bye!

Tuesday, January 12, 2010

Oh yeah~
Finally got the results that kept me thinking for over the past 2 months!
Not too bad!
8 A1s
1 A2 (=( english)
1 B3 ( Chemistry - however that's my best ever...lol - Surprised?)
So I'm happy!
Let's Celebrate!
Lol.
For those who didn't reach their expectations, don't be disappointed.
This is just a small step to success.
It depends on yourself.
No matter what school you are, you still have the chance to be successful!
So 'Jia You'!









What to do?
*Fingers Crossed at 10.21*




Heard that the O level results are being released on 11th January 2009.

http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_474125.html.

It's confirmed.
At 2pm.
Nerve-wrecking.
However, my uncle told me not to take it into heart regarding the results.
I mean, he's an epitome of success, or that's what I think of him.
My parents have been encouraging too =).
So I'm don't really mind about it now. (Actually I do. XP)
Took me long enough, haha.
Although going to a very good school due to my very good results will be awesome.
(I know, it's kind of ironic.)
However, shan't think about it for now.

Didn't really spend much of my holidays resting... or to the least its not that memorable.
Besides my grandfather's death, my uncle's wedding, and my internship, hmm... fine, it was kinda memorable, in both good and bad ways.

This is my 29th Post.
Aiming to be Guinness World Record for Longest Blog Post Ever.
Haha.
Then I saw Tan Sally ranting on her blog about the Broccoli Lady.
And It was super long.
Oh Well.















Everytime I blog, I get kinda stuck with an idea for the title.
(Anyone met any teachers recently?)
Wonder who the discipline master/mistress is...
The only, and terrible, news I have is that Ms Saras left Photography Club.:(
(She's 2nd IC now)
Wonder how they are coping with the new TIC...
Didn't really receive much news from Catholic High School recently.

Hey by the way, O's results are coming out next week..
Kind of nervous.
However, I'm sure I'm not alone.

Good luck!




Later in the evening, went to eat steamboat with Hang Siang and his entourage.
Enjoyed myself tremedously actually, quite nice to spend some time with friends before the new term starts for some of them who have to go to school.

Updating this post soon



Worked half day.
I was surprised that I went out again to watch the fireworks.
Can't believe it.
I just knew I couldn't go watch the fireworks - The throngs of crowds was just terrible!
The next thing I knew, I found myself in the midst of crowds heading towards Marina.
Went at 10, walked to 11, waited for an hour. 11.40 some people started making noise as though as the fireworks started.
People started standing up.
Kinda funny to watch actually, people spontaneously and concurrently standing up...
12 came, and boom boom boom for 8 minutes.
It's 2010!
Liked this year's fireworks more than last year's, more spectacular.
Took some pics on my phone, surprised that they came out clear.
Will post soon.
No time to post it yet.
In the end, at 12.08 thereabout, we departed and walked towards the MRT station.
Police were guiding cars.
Police were guiding traffic.
Got stuck in Citylink mall - kinda reminded me of the checkpoint from Malaysia to Singapore, super congested.
Made mental note not to go next year, but what the heck.
01.00 we entered the MRT station.
Went to marina bay station to avoid the crowd.
What a stupid and idiotic idea.
Met some people from school.
Cousin asked if they were nerds.
Cousin told me someone looks perfectly normal out of the group (whom I'm surprised to hear her say).
Returned at 02.30 to home.
Perfectly fun day.
I almost forgot I wasn't feeling well.






























































Before that, we had lots of time.
Went to Thai express.
Didn't eat anything there - not feeling well and no appetite.
Ended up paying for my sister, who was broke.
Went to watch Old dogs.
Seats were better than Sherlock Holmes.
Row B.
Haha.
Quite funny.
To the least, it was nicer than Alvin and the Chipmunks 2
(I mean, people watch for the chipmunks right? If I were to sub those chipmunks for normal people, who will pay to watch?).
Not as good as Sherlock Holmes, perhaps also worse compared to Avatar.
People said it was cliche and terrible, but who cares?
Robin Williams and Travolta did more than what they did to make me laugh.
I mean, after License to wed, anything from Robin Williams is probably funny.
The adults will mostly say it's dumb, or that's what i think they will say.
However, conversely, it was not as bad!

a new start to a new beginning.
