Important: 'O' Level Results

So it comes. I hope everyone got what they wanted, and if they didn't they wouldn't be so down. I got better than my expectations. Ok, don't bash me yet. It's still not very good.

I did better than prelims obviously, improving by a whopping 5 points in L1R5 to 20 (on the dot), thanks to the Humanities department. My L1R4 is 14, 2 points better again thanks to improvements in the Humanities.

I am very puzzled. But very glad.

My results are as follows:
Subject - 'O' Level grade (Prelim grade)
English - B3 (B3)
Combined Humanities - C5 (F9)
Mathematics - A1 (A2)
Additional Mathematics - F9 (D7)
Physics - A2 (A1)
Chemistry - C6 (D7)
Biology - D7 (F9)
Chinese - B3 (B4) June Paper: B3

Like I said, it's all thanks to the Humanities.

Well, now I have to choose.

And all of a sudden, the third choice presents itself to me. That I could go to Innova JC and would never have any reason to be late.

I'm confused.

We are getting close, people, move on!

11 hours.

11 hours before our paths are laid in front of us.

After which we will have choose one of which will lead us into a certain destiny.

Best of luck, everyone.

May the Force be with you.

...

I couldn't resist that one, sorry.

It's the weekends...

And I skipped school again.

I have to stop this before it becomes a habit.

So we face the truth in around 37 hours. Are you excited? I know I am. More excited about seeing everyone again than the actual results. Maybe I'll go back on Monday and everyone looks different except me.

That wouldn't actually be any surprising at all.

Actually I have been wanting to comment on a growing phenomenon amongst bad typers now. This. I mean, yeah, you type shorter so you save space I get, but more letters? What are you a spech defect? Not to be disrespectful to people who actually have it. It's either that or you are trying to sound like a sloth. If sloths actually talk. They'd answer about a minute later, but yeah they'll sound like that.

You save Four. Whole. Lines.

I keep wondering, "What's next?"

"Replacing letters?" - Thjs js pnly rfbdblf tp pfpplf whp bctvblly knpw whbt kjnd pf cpdf j'm vsjng.

I'd rather keep my other ideas in case they get used.

Alright people, for those who haven't read yet, go look through my February archives and look for one that's titled "This is sooo fun...". Read it, and come back and read this. For people who read it and remembers, good.

***

Hey, bastard, hi. First of all, congratulations on making a fool out of yourself. You have, undoubtedly, ate everything that they dished out to you, all of which is crap. You licked up the dishes nice and clean.

I love that.

You think you're good? I'm better, you rich brat. Stop saying how rich I am (I'm not), your dangerous brand of sarcasm isn't getting to me anymore.

How's that?

B-ch.

Well.

Here's a shocker: I skipped school yesterday!

Here's another one: I did it alone!

I hanged around Causeway Point the whole morning, ate something, took a MRT to Jurong East and back for fun and for some sleep, and went up to play LAN at Level 7 when it just opened. Enter the Matrix was okay, I got stuck at some point because I seriously have no idea what to do. And then I played Diablo 2 because the guy next to me was playing. I started a new character and I was much faster and much better (he died like a dozen of times and I never died once), and I stopped when I got to the Outer Cloister. My hands were freezing, and I then I tried to play some CS.

I got my ass pwned.

I got lunch and went home.

***

Today I went back to school. I found that only my real friends would bother to ask why I never came.

"Pon, lah."

The day was ok, we played different card games this time and it doesn't involve money. I had to have Ephraim remind me of the rules of Bridge again, and then I caught up after a game. Then during Chinese we played Indian Poker.

For people who don't know, you're supposed to hold a card on your forehead, facing everyone, and based on their reactions when they see your card, you decide if you want to change it. You can change it for a maximum of three times. The person with the lowest card loses, and has to do a forfeit.

Which reminds me. I didn't hand in the worksheet to the Chinese teacher. Crap.

We did this career thing during Home Period. I have no idea what it does. It isn't even going to be sent for analysis. Bah.

I had lunch at Causeway Point after school, and came back. I slept. I woke up. Got a call to go for dinner at Vista Point.

So I had dinner and blah.

Damn it, now I'm getting irritated from all the typing again.

Breaking News!

Strange.

I slept for a total nearly twelve hours today.

I got up when I felt stupid lying on the bed. I got up, and cooked noodles for me and sis. We did some housework after eating, and halfway through I slept again.

Now I feel like sleeping again.

We had an early dinner today because we didn't have lunch.

*yawn*

I remember my mom asking my dad what date it was today. The 20th of February. Something... Familiar about this date. Like there's something special today. An occasion or something. The date's screaming "I mean something!" in my head and I have no idea whether it's a birthday or something else.

It's a month after my sister's birthday. That's why it stuck.

Well.

I got a letter from the M of E. It's about the Joint Admission Exercise (JAE) when we get our 'O' Levels results. We have to do everything online (it says "Applications for courses under the JAE should be submitted through the JAE website". I'm thinking 'should' means 'must') and in order to do that, I'm supposed to get a SingPass.

What the hell is that?

And if I don not have one, I have to apply for one immediately, yeah.

I have to wait for it come, yeah.

Now I have to go do something about this headache, yeah.

Recovery period sucks.

This morning I woke up, had leftover pasta for breakfast, and went off to TP with the guys. There's me, Jingwei, Kok Siang, Andrew, Yeng Peng, Jeffrey, Junhong, Roy and Lisheng. The nine of us. Akatsuki. 7 of us were Naruto fans, so...

We took 168, got mixed up and forgot to alight the bus, so we had to take a second bus.

So we went there. It wasn't very exciting. It wasn't very boring either. We had lunch there and set off to Chinatown. We met up with Kok Yong, Kok Siang's older brother, and went to 'the shop' together. In the end nobody bought anything so it seemed kinda wasted.

We decided to go play LAN. We tried this place, full. Next place, full. We walked some more, full. We walked all the way from Dhoby Ghaut station to Bugis, full. All the places are full. And then it happened: NUAH.

It took us nearly another half hour to decide to go back to Causeway Point instead. We left Kok Yong there, and we took a train back to Woodlands. There were 9 of us, and there is 9 seats in one row.

Yup.

Jingwei went off at Admiralty, and Jeffrey wasn't really into the playing, so the last 7 of us played 4 on 3 CS and then 2(Roy and a computer set on "Insane") on 6 Warcraft III.

So I came back, feeling the effects of too much walking and moving around. Now I have to wait for it to recover. Damn it.

Shh.

They might rename Orochimaru as Serpenterra. Or Michael Jackson, because of the strangely white skin, the paedophilic characteristics, and such popularity among ANBU members. Kabuto, isn't Kabuto the Pokemon? Maybe he becomes Kelvin. Or Keith. Maybe even Frank.

So today was ok. Went to catch a movie.

Blah blah blah.

Ray is nice. Go watch it. It's like The Aviator, another life story, but not as boring because of all the R & B!

Ok, bye.

It is a sad day for anime...

The day was boring, mostly. The breaks were fun, our class got together and ate together. I went home with the guys after school.

I got lunch at KFC for a dollar thanks to my $5 voucher.

I came back and ate my lunch, and fell asleep. I woke up and gave my dog a bath. And then i took a shower.

And Ephraim gave me one of the worst news any anime fan could receive: it's getting licensed.

Naruto, licensed! Meaning the money-crazy people down at America have the rights... And BitTorrent tracks are taken off. And we are going to see dubbed versions of Naruto.

Seriously, I can't imagine an Americanized Naruto going "Art of the Doppelganger!" on whoever they might rename Mizuki as.

"Welcome to Nathan~! It's a story about a boy called Nathan, who wants to be the Fire Shadow, the strongest ninja in the village! With his friends Simon and Susan and his teacher Kevin, he sets off on his journey!!"

F.

Total Defence Day.

TDD = Stop violence!

That seems to be the message everyone got through the years of education. This morning us Pre-U 1s stayed behind after morning assembly to see the finalists for the inter-class skit competition.

Every single one of them had a fight or violent scene. Japanese soldiers terrorising people, gangfights, you name it.

After that was PE. Crap. I thought we were only having games. In the end we had what I thought a full exercise for warm-up. Then basketball. Even with William on my team we lost a few times. It's all my fault! T_T

Well. After that was break, and then Physics practical. Ok. Stupid. The whole thing was... Grr.

After school I went home alone. I was waiting for the bus when I overheard the conversation between two girls. It was Inuyasha-heavy, with terms from all over the place which I didn't understand, until a point where A said something that sounded like "naruto" and B heard it as "naruto" asked if A watches Naruto. A said no, but she knew a little about it. B said that it was "crappy, just ninja stuff and ninjas fighting and using their powers and whatever."

Miss B, you don't have a clue about the story. Shhh!

Well, after stopping by West Mall for lunch and some looking around... My mom wanted me to buy some stuff on my way home from Cold Storage but they were out of it so I'm getting irritated typing all of these.

So eventually I got home.

And then I had dinner and blah blah blah and now I'm blogging. Argh why am I feeling so angry?

And it's not because Miss B said Naruto is crappy.

Valentine's...

It's Valentine's Day today.

No point being tough about it. No point whining about it.

I don't have a date.

Now that it's taken care of...

Today was a boring day in school. The Econs thing borders between fun and lame, so I guess it wasn't that good. I pretty much slept through Maths and Physics. GP kept me awake because it was last period.

I went for lunch at West Mall's Burger King with my new friends after school, William and his classmates from his school, and then I went home. First thing I got was a call from my mom telling me to get ready to go out.

We went to Causeway Point, and bought stuff for dinner in Cold Storage. Then we came back, and we ate.

And I then I tried to stay awake while burning the Naruto discs, and then I came to my sister's computer to blog.

......

I bought some vodka just now...

Just another day.... Nope.

I woke up in the morning at around 8.30. Early, even for my standards. I got a shower and got into better looking clothes. Serene and Kheng Ling came earlier at around 10. They left in about an hour, and about half and hour later, Xinyi, Hui Xin, Puay Boon, Lynette, Ruo Ying and Kaiyun came. We watched Mulan 2, and then we spent about a hour plus playing Blackjack. All of us didn't have the coins for it, so I recorded all the winnings and losts, and then tallied them at the end of the thing. Somehow it didn't balance, but we sorted it out anyway.

I lost quite a lot.

Then we set off to Mr. Junus' home at Sembawang. We met up at Christy at the bus stop, and took a bus there. We ate a bit, and then gambled some more.

I lost again.

After that we played Heart Attack, a game I only figured out today. After that we just lounged around, talking and playing with his children and then some left. The rest of us stayed for dinner, and talked a lot about our school and whatnot.

And then we went home.

Good day. Yup.

Oh no... I forgot!

Ok, it's bad not blogging this long, and it's not that bad because everyone's busy celebrating and won't have time to read.

My first post for the year! Ok.

First day, I went to the usual places I go during Chinese New Year, and then I ended up at Junction 8 to watch a movie. The place was deserted. The whole place was closed except for the cinema. Creepy. I went for lunch with my sis, and then walked around some more (seriously), and then we went in for the show.

So when I walked in, I heard the most marvelous thing: Naruto soundtrack. I was going "What? Who? Who's playing this?"

We watched "I Do I Do", the newest local movie to hit town. It's nice, overall, but the ending reminded me of The Best Bet. Bad ending.

After that we went back to Woodlands, and bought Pizza Hut stuff for dinner. It was okay.

Second day, Joseph wanted to come in the afternoon but we had to go out and we were all watching a movie "Himalayan Singh". It made me cringe a few times because it was so lame I couldn't stand it. But there were some Hindu philosophies added in, so I just had to pay attention.

After that we went praying, actually just my mother. Then we went to our grandma's place (maternal), and had dinner. Then we came back, and I downloaded Naruto and watched it and slept.

This morning I woke up and cooked up some noodles for myself, got a shower and a change and went to Bugis to meet William for some CS-ing. Satesh (William's friend), went, Chinh went, and Ephraim showed up later. We played for about 4 hours or so, and then we had lunch before splitting up. I came back after that.

And then now I get mad at the com because it's so freaking feeding me up. Now I'm fed up.

Wee, some lameness unleashed.

Happy Chinese New Year!

The tagline of Jack Neo's latest movie "I Do, I Do" is "Love comes knocking this Chinese New Year. Cock cock cock."

Anyway, wave goodbye (and enthusiastically please) to our primate friend the Monkey here, who brought us the bird flu (it's so ironic, isn't it?) and Jerry Ong.

Say hello to the bird, who might turn bird flu into a human-to-human virus, the Rooster. Or the cock. Whichever you want.

First thing in school was Lion Dance. At first it was very boring. It wasn't even loud and lively enough. And then when this older guy took over the symbals, and the lion got a replacement, the whole thing just sprang to life.

After that was other boring stuff, including a skit, a very cool Michael Jackson impersonation dance number, a very disorganised performance by a rock band wannabe, and dances from the three ethnic groups.

I went off to my grandma's place straight after school. I practically spent my day there. I ate, I drank, I watched my father and my uncles gamble, the usual.

Well, Happy New Year everyone. My last post of the Year of the Monkey.

Slightly after midnight...

I woke up in the morning and I got a shock: I nearly forgot about going to the SP Open House today. I still had 15 minutes, so I rushed a lot of things, but ended up 5 minutes late anyway. I had breakfast there.

The Open House was ok... Got a lot of brochures, went for a Business tour, and did this personality test. It was all in all quite accurate.

We stopped for lunch, and missed the chance to see Taufik. But I got to catch a glimpse of the Singapore Idol as he left in his van.

Whatever, because then I lost my right eye. I mean the contact lense. I went home, and got a nap, and then I put on glasses and went off for Tanglin Mall.

Hell, I don't even know where it is. I ended up taking a cab from Orchard MRT station. When I got there, the booths were small squares for the people to lay down all your stuff.

I got a lot of stuff there. I got two books, a couple of mini looney tunes ceramic mugs, a "message in a test-tube" from our stall, a decorative horse figurine, and a Jacky Cheung "CD".

Focus on the inverted commas I put beside the "CD". Because if there was one I think I learnt from this whole flea market trip, was that you must always check what you're buying. Even if it was insanely cheap. When I came back, I found out that I had paid a dollar for a CD case and the lyrics of that album.

I came back via guidance from a classmate, and got down at a stop outside Clementi MRT Station, and took the MRT home.

Look, if you happen to read this, I hope you know it's addressed to you. First option possibility: 30%, second possibility: 0%. Which makes it that even if you're reading this aloud to your relatives you wouldn't know I'm talking about you.

But if somebody else who knows the both of us reads this, there's a, I don't know, 40% probability that the person would know, and then a 60% possibility that that person would tell you about this. After which there's a 35% possibility that you would confront me about it. And then there would be a 0% possibility that I would take your shit. Which makes it that I don't f-king care what you think. Get it?

Ok, enough of the crap.

And one other thing I've had enough of is your sick, subtle stabbing. You don't tell me what to do. Especially not when I come back from a two day injury leave and I know absolutely nothing about what's going on, and who's doing what.

And please, please don't blatantly do what you tell me not to. And stop using me whenever you wish to make a sarcastic remark. That's not rude, that's not backstabbing. It's swinging a chainsaw across my spine while you give me the finger. So please.

Ok, now that I've gotten this out of my system.

Ah, the relief.

This is sooo fun...

This morning, after a near full recovery, I put on the last giant plaster on the area for a full recovery. The trip to school was okay. It was boring. Then the bus ride. Then to school.

Oh, wait, there's a lot of stuff to do.

I don't want to write more. Simply because I'm upset thinking about it.

After school I went straight home, and then slacked and everything.

And oh, yeah, I tried Counter-Life! It's a lousy name but consider this for you people who are familiar with Half-Life: Playing Half-Life with Counter-Strike weapons.

Meaning, you go around and you arctic soldiers like it's nobody's business! Did I mention Vortigaunts die in a close-range Deagle round? P90 useless? You don't know how useful it is in Half-Life. The Para is just too sweet. Bam bam bam bam bam bam bam... I practically went through half a dozen maps with the knife alone! AK 47 reaps through the big ones with ease. Worst point of the game though were the grenades. Expensive, and super bouncy.

So I'm bored again. Ah, but then tomorrow I'm going to the SP open house. I might see some of you there.

Maybe.

I've gotten a hit from Guatamala here. One from Hungary. A couple from Italy and a couple from the UK. Six from Israel. A total 20 from the US of A. 22 "Unknown"s (what are they, aliens?), 4 from "Others" (it's a big world) and 565 from Singapore =)

What's the point? Well, if you guys check out the tag board there, there's an anonymous idiot who says my blog is boring! Well, I admit that my blog isn't very interesting, but boring?

Hey, ankles don't go cracking everyday. *shakes head*

Oh, look! One of the about 600 hits on my blog was made on a browser called "Opera". I've never even heard of it.

And do people actually use their computers at a 1600x1200 resolution? That's freaking small.

Anyway.

*****

Day 2 of Rest-At-Home-Because-I-Can't-Still-Walk-Properly-From-An-Injured-Ankle was not boring. Because the computer has kept my frustrated for a while, and then I watched Naruto. Naisu, Akamaru!

Finally, I'm starting on the 4E1 class magazine with the limited information I've been given. So now I'll be making full use of these information, I won't disappoint you Mr. Wong!

Ahem.

So there. I wonder who would be free next weekend....?

What the hell is wrong with me?

This morning, I woke up about half and hour earlier than usual to watch the last 25 minutes of the Arsenal-Man U match.

Arsenal lost.

I'm an Arsenal fan, not a die-hard one, but still a fan. The day started off quite badly already.

Ok, then I did the usuals, had some cereal for breakfast, and then when the newspaper came, I read the Life section for the comics and then I set off for school.

So why the details? The thing is, I didn't make it to school. Just as I was about to cross the cross junction, my left foot gave way, and I heard a crack at my ankle.

I was thinking about suing the relevant people.

I called my mum at home and told her that this one was bad. I went home, and I lied down.

It still hurts now, although just that bit less. But still, it's no normal slip. This one was like that time, I might have snapped something. That took me a week to start walking without limping, I wonder how long this one would take.

Talk about a bad day.

Argh!

This morning, the first thing I noticed when I got off the bus to my school, was a person.

A familiar person.

Jared!? Okay, debate people, announcement. I saw Jared this morning outside my school. I didn't say "hi" and he didn't seem to recognise me anyway. And he was smoking.

Bad.

Anyway, then I crossed over and saw Terence, Calvin and Guo Sheng, and we waited for about a minute before Patricia came with her contribution to our stock this Saturday.

Which reminds me.

This Saturday, people, is when my class (and a class from Bartley) set up a booth at the Tanglin Mall Bazaar selling secondhand clothes and books, and then I'm not even sure what else they want to do.

Oh, well.

The GP teacher didn't come in, and I didn't go look for another teacher anyway, because our class was almost shockingly quiet. Relatively.

PE after that was miserable at first, running and running, and doing push-ups and then running, and then squats and then running and then finally a water break. When we came back we got to play captain's ball (our choice, because we have to play something and it's physically less demanding) with a tennis ball. Hard time catching though. All of us SD guys were in a team and we won, yay!

After that was the break, I didn't eat a lot. Then after the break was Physics practical, mechanics. Argh. I had results from Mars. Forget about it.

Then I came back, having this freaking headache. And the feeling as if I'm in a smoking zone, so I have to breathe consciously.

Stupid stupid. Headache. Argh. See you all tomorrow.
